So, this episode was pretty freakin' amazing. I dunno what you fans are whining over, because this is what you've been asking for. So, cut the crap. Shonda's re-building the home she burnt down last season, and it's going to take more than 90 minutes. Just, for God's sake, hang in there and stop the complaining, because it's not justified.

Debora Cahn, the writer of Love/Addiction, did an amazing job. She also wrote Sometimes a Fantasy and Scars & Souvenirs last season (one of my favorites of season three). Cristina was...hilarious. It's so great to get to see Cristina as Cristina again. I mean, seriously, trading gifts for surgeries? Brilliant!

I loved Bailey in this episode. I love seeing her have to live with the fact that, no, she's not Chief Resident. Bailey's never had any angst on the show, and it's thrilling to see her finally have angst. When she yelled at Alex, it was captivating. I was actually shocked many times during tonight's episode...like really, truly shocked. I think the storyline was really good (I liked the idea of 'addiction'), and it fit really well. Derek is addicted to Meredith, and she to him. It's so obvious that he still loves her. She must know that. And she must know that she still loves him. Honestly, though, I think this break-up is going to be really good and productive, and I bet next time we see them together, they're actually going to be able to have a real relationship, where Meredith is committed and everything.

I hate Mama Burke. I really do. But I loved seeing her with everybody tonight. You forget that she never met some of these people...like George. It was really nice to see them all interact with her. Although her confronting, or yelling or whatever, at Meredith was annoying. Entertaining, yes, but annoying and unjustified (I think) all the same. And when she finally talked to Cristina, it was actually a let-down for me. There wasn't much to it. I was expecting a big, like, war between the two women, but, alas, no.

Lexie. Oh, Lexie. Poor Lexie. I like her. I may actually love her. But she's such a ditz. She's such a...I dunno what the term is...but she seems like a dumb blonde, and I'm hoping they do something to fix that, because she obviously isn't. And I felt so bad for her when Meredith said those things to her. I've never seen Meredith be so mean; so rude. She was right - she's not a mean person. But that was cruel. I think it true, for the most part, but definitley cruel. It's going to be really interesting to see how their relationship evolves over the season.

I want the Derek and Mark friendship to start. Right now. Because there's such great chemistry there and I can't wait to see them in full swing together, because, we never have. And I really cannot wait to finally see that Derek/Mark friendship we heard so much about.

OK, George, Izzie, and Callie. I'm back to not liking Callie. Yah, it's probably unjustified. I love Sara Ramirez. To death. But, Callie, I just can't do it. I could last season, but not this season. Yah, she's on everybody's shit list, her husband is cheating on her, and she can't get pregnant. Life sucks for her and I'm supposed to feel sorry and I just don't. And I don't know why. It might be because she just swooped in, married George, and became Chief Resident. And partially because I love Gizzie. So much. I'm sure they're going to die, and soon, but I'm going to cherish these few moments we get of them (and I'm desperately hoping for more elevator kisses and more sex). I'm really interested to see what the reactions are to their affair, because, remember, nobody knows yet...

So, tonight was brilliant. And hilarious. And smart. Meredith was so...Meredith. Sure, she could stand to be stronger. We have yet to see a really, deeply strong Meredith, and I hope we see one soon. Honestly, I think we will. But I don't know what all of you people think the problem is. Because this show is better than it's ever been; better than I've ever seen it. I'm more captivated than I've ever been. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for next week (Gizzie finally comes out! YAY! ...I think); waiting to re-join my other family once again. My addiction to this show keeps growing...it's my brand of meth. Just without all of the strokes and death and stuff. Grey's Anatomy is better than ever and I couldn't be more excited for next Thursday..
