ALL THE SHADES OF GREY...............................................................................
Don't mistake the title of this post as thinking "My Favorite Mistake" is my favorite episode of Grey's ever. Because it isn't. But it's damn near close. Want to know why? Meredith and Derek acted like a couple (and we almost saw them have sex!). The patients actually had stories and you felt for them. Cristina and Burke made up - for now (and she gave him coffee). There were some great one-liners. And it was amazing to see Izzie and George deal with a whole new kind of drama that we've never seen them deal with before.
I loved how they did the sex flashback. It was quick; it was fast, and not painful like the Meredith and George sex of Season Two. I didn't quite understand why getting a drink spilled on his lap made George remember, but that's not the point. The point is that it happened. And now, Izzie and George are stupidly going to keep their secret to themselves. Which, obviously, is not going to work. But that's Grey's for you - characters doing things that you know are totally wrong. Callie was so likeable in this episode as if they were trying to make us feel sympathetic for her (if you didn't already), and it made me feel bad and my heart was pounding in my chest when those scenes between George/Callie/Izzie came on the screen. Obviously, the title of the episode is alluding to more that what was divulged in the episode - Izzie and George most likely actually enjoyed it, hence the "Favorite" part, but I'm sure that will be developed in the weeks to come.
Overall, "My Favorite Mistake" was another push in the right direction for Grey's - getting back to its roots; the one everybody loves: the Season One roots. That was most definitley "My Favorite Mistake," and I can't wait to see where they take us next.

[sigh] it's back. grey's anatomy is back. shonda has once again made us fall in love. she made us believe that our show didn't jump the shark. that it hasn't become ordinary. she's proved us wrong. and boy let me just say i am so happy that she has. i don't think i have ever been so happy to be proved wrong. she has made me believe that meredith and derek aren't just friends and that this whole izzie george thing might have been necessary. she's made me think that mark might have a heart and she's even made me like addison. just a little though. very very little. but it's more than last week that's for sure. and cristina and burke. where do i begin? i am seriously on such a high, it's sickening. if you were to see me right now all bright & shiny you might want to slap me and tell me to stop smiling but i...can't. because izzie knows she made a mistake and meredith and derek had mcsex and even though [once again] we didn't see it it doesn't bother me. which is huge HUGE for me. due to the fact that i am pretty much the biggest merder fan to ever exist. dempeo one too but that's a whole 'nother story. so back on to grey's anatomy...cristina and burke are getting married. yay. i don't know why i'm so excited but i am. i'm happy. for them for callie for alex for meredith and derek even the chief. i'm just happy. our grey's anatomy has returned and boy did it return. eight...seven...six...cutest moment on tv. i think i do owe much of my happiness to the merder loving but i owe some to izzie and george and well i owe all of it to shonda for creating this amazing show that proves that she hasn't lost her mojo. on a scale of one to ten how bad is it? zero.
