This week the endless Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crossover event finally dragged to an end. So little time, so much to say. Here's some highs and lows...
Lindy-High - Faye Dunaway as an aging surgeon -- the Norma Desmond of Seattle Grace. Truly, there was even a scene where Dr. Faye throws Christina out of her OR and we sware to god, we thought she was going to say, "What you're trying to say is that you don't want me to operate. Say it. Say it!" Luckily, Dr. Hunt was ready with army anecdote about knowing when it's time to quit, complete with a kind and somber look that clearly said, "Madame is the greatest star of them all."
Olivia-High - This week Dr. McHair’s has a break down, and Derrick’s dark damaged underbelly turns out to be pretty compelling. After making a mistake in the OR last week, Dr. Floppyhair is willing to lobotomize his patient Frankenstyle to save his conscious. The chief actually has to stop Derrick from sewing the lady up with a whipstitched frontal lobe. Awesome. After his patient dies, McDreams gets in a brawl with Sloan. In the hospital. On a balcony. We swear, we were sure that one of them was going to fall over and die. Oh, the drama. The episode ends with Derrick downing tequila like it’s discount YooHoo and he’s trying to get his delicious chocolaty money’s worth. Go, Dr. Shepard, Go. Find those inner demons and deal with them. Now if we could somehow surgically remove Meredith from all of those scenes . . .
Lindy-Low - Pretty much everything else. Meredith's voice over was particularly excrutiating this time: "Patients think we're gods, some call us monsters, but we're just people." Just kill us now. Also, we HATE Jessica Capshaw and her weird perkiness. Why can Callie not find someone cool, and relatively free of neuroses to match her level of awesome? We've had a thought: Callie and Addison. Right? This could be genius. Both are gorgeous, sexy, smart, stong women. They both want babies. They have pre-established chemistry. Why don't they get married and raise gorgeous, sexy, smart, strong children? Think about it Shonda Rhimes. That's all we ask.
Olivia-Low - The fact that Faye Dunaway isn’t a new regular. She is Fab. U. Lous. Fabulous dammit. And she brought it this week. To say thanks, lets have a nostalgic pic, shall we?
Is there a way that we can be her in our next life? Please?
