Grey's Anatomy: A Change Is Gonna Come

ok, i held off as long as i could. if i hadn't been consumed by the Sox clinching the AL East on Friday night, and then been away the rest of the weekend, this would have been posted no later than Saturday. if you haven't watched it by the time i get to posting, you're just going to have to take the Grey's image as the spoiler disclaimer and skip reading til you've caught yourself up.

1. the slicked back hair & the goatee make Alex look like McSteamy's Mini Me.

2. i love love love that every single one of them gave their pack of interns the same speech Bailey gave them on their first day.

3. the show is weird without Burke & Addison.

4. the thing with Izzie & the deer? too much.

5. i love Bailey snark.

6. i can tell you right now that i do *not* love Lexie Grey. not that she's done anything wrong exactly. she's almost too nice. and that poses the possibility for too many conflicts. there always has to be one though. first it was Alex. then Addison. then McSteamy. the torch has been passed.

7. i think we're going to see a more human side of Cristina this season. and i think we're going to see Izzie gaining her strength again. if they stop giving her deer to mend.

8. that Callie-George-Izzie thing? all three of them are going to end up hurt by that. mark my words. i feel badly for all of them.
