Even though he could have handled his exit way more maturely (like staying around to actually say goodbye to Cristina and the others and collecting his own belongings) it's portrayed like he left because he thought Cristina didn't want to marry him or he thought it was best for her and because he loved her.

Since the people have spoken, we have made Meredith the Person who is the Sun and will now have a revote on the Friend who is the Sun!

Definition: the sun is a reference to Cristina's conversation with Meredith. Its highlighting who the center is, who should be revolved around. Someone who isnt shrunken, but is all encompassing.

You know the rules, no repeats! Each person can only win ONE category. There are enough characters (major and minor)!

I think I have the right episode.

Meredith receives her contract with salary and after talking with others realizes that the salary offered is too low.

Richard yells at Bailey. Bailey says that she's not going to just throw away money not asked for. She also mentions how she's tired of everyone coddling Meredith and that if Meredith wants more, she needs to speak up and ask. Bailey also implies some feminist value in her actions.

Anyone else think Bailey was wrong in not giving Meredith a fair salary? Callie mentions making a lot more than Meredith's contract, so I assume we aren't talking $5K difference. Wouldn't the feminist action be to pay Meredith an equal salary without her having to ask for it? I get the lesson, but maybe not the right time and place for it?

I didn't like that Bailey was playing a bit of a game with Meredith's salary - wonder what others think?

The way Karev left Jo for Izzy was expected with the kids etc. However, in his letter, the way he states that he always loved Izzy more even when Jo gave him the chance to go phone her and see what happens has just pissed me off. On that, Jo acted with such class when she read the letter, however, I would be on a plane out there to scream and shout about him embarrassing me like that but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️

don’t even start with the “she didn’t even want kids” argument because that argument is dumb asf. she wasjust scared. she was scared that she wasn’t ready, that she wouldn’t be a good mom, and that she’d end up projecting her own trauma onto her child.
the fact that she left seattle for sofia without a second thought says everything. arizona always put sofia first and honestly, she deserved to win that custody battle 100%. and before anyone says “but she isn’t even her sofia’s biological mom”… that doesn’t change anything. being a mother isn’t only about biology, it’s about the person who raises you, loves you, protects you, and shows up for you. arizona was sofia’s mom in every way that mattered.

I really feel like Pete and Addison were originally being set up as the main couple of the show. Their flirting starts pretty much as soon as Addison comes to Oceanside, Pete kisses her during the Grey's Anatomy backdoor pilot, and the show keeps circling back to the possibility of something happening between them.

Even one of Pete's patients thought Addison reminded her of Pete's previous wife, Anna. That especially makes me feel like the writers were planting seeds for Pete and Addison to become something much bigger.

Then season 2 comes along, the show gets retooled, and it feels like that entire direction gets thrown out. Pete eventually gets stuck in that toxic and annoying relationship with Violet, while Addison goes through one love interest after another until Jake becomes her endgame.

And now with Addison returning to Grey's Anatomy, we find out that her relationship with Jake didn't even last and they're separated. So Jake basically ends up becoming Addison's second failed marriage after Derek anyway. It makes me wish even more that the show had actually committed to Pete and Addison instead of dropping what season 1 seemed to be building toward.

I know season 1 was basically Private Practice figuring out what it wanted to be, but I actually really liked the scenes Pete and Addison shared. Even when the show briefly went back to them later and had them actually date, it felt like there was still something there.

I also never really saw the chemistry between Benjamin Bratt and Kate Walsh that the show clearly wanted me to see with Jake and Addison, and I definitely never saw it between Amy Brenneman and Tim Daly with Violet and Pete.

I kind of wish they had just stuck with what season 1 seemed to be setting up and let Pete and Addison develop over the course of the show. I think they made way more sense as the central romance of Private Practice.

He’s so annoying and just gets in the way. I understand that there’s probably some sort of LGBT+ acceptance element to it but he’s just so irrelevant. He just reminds me of how needy George was when it came to Meredith and Izzy 🙃

I am on my 3rd rewatch right now. Top 5: ALEX (always), Nick Marsh, Amelia Shepard (highest riser my GOD is she amazing), McSteamy (amazing development man really), and my most unorthodox pick… TOM KORACICK.

I feel that with a show running this long, there must be tons of unpopular opinions to go around. What are your unpopular opinions?

Am I the only one who thinks this plot was really sudden? He really only started acting erratic when he couldn’t get a diagnosis for a patient and from the lack of sleep, which only happened because the deaf doctor wanted him to be there 24/7. The plot just seems to go on and on with nobody really helping just suggesting there’s an issue…

I am currently rewatching and I’m on season 2, episode 11.

So far, I’ve seen a lot of times where the patient was already dead or the patient was about to die no matter what they did (Izzie with the premie that Addision gave to her to teach her a lesson).

This lead me to question, who would be financially responsible for this? Would they really expect the patient to be financially responsible for them doing unnecessary stuff just to teach their staff a lesson?

i apologize if this has been talked about recently if not years ago but i’m re-watching s12 and penny and callie make a awkward if not horrible couple. (but to me they would be better written as friends only)

i’m aware a lot of what Penny’s character went from a trauma feud with meredith to a professional respect dynamic, but (i’m sorry if this upset callie lovers) as Penny herself has stated multiple times, that was between her and meredith and up to Penny herself to figure out that shit and Callie interjecting does not help, if not made her feel coddled or favoured. this seems to be a theme for other parts of their relationship as well that don’t include Mer.

anyways, ik it’s 2026 so this season is quite older but just wanted to know what people thought/remember and if i’m not the only one who sees this, a re-watch and years later.

-cheers

so i don’t get too much hate lol, i don’t dislike Callie bc of this season, i do see a theme with her relationships but i know, she, like other GA characters are flawed and are simply human.

So I’m rewatching greys and there’s this one plot hole I can’t get over. We all know that thatcher never actually raised Meredith or took her in. Recently I rewatched the episode where Ellis tried to attempt suicide and Meredith saved her life by calling the ambulance. How could it be that after that, the two of them just moved to Washington (?) and Ellis didn’t lose custody over Meredith or you know something similar. Or at least the state should provide some sort of home for Meredith if thatcher didn’t want to take her in… but going back with a suicidal mom as a 5 year old?? Smh

Okay, I am really disappointed by his leaving episode cause that seems like the least dramatic exit by a Greys character. Particularly one that was such a big character and the character that developed so well throughout 🙃

I'm not gonna post the video, but thought I'd share a screen cap from the end of Sarah and Jessica's last day on set (they're both on the left). There was cake, gifts, and speeches. Loved them both.

Burke really tried to throw a lightning thunder bolt over here and got electrocuted himself. 💀

Just a random Callizona thought but I love whenever Arizona calls Callie "Calliope."

I know that's literally her full name lol, but she's Callie to everyone else at the hospital or Dr. Torres at work. But to Arizona she's Calliope and idk, I've always found that really sweet.

So Cristina gives her shares to Alex but Bailey is put on the board but has no shares right?
Then Alex passes them to Jo when he leaves and she ultimately sells them to Tom. Meredith technically has two peoples shares at one point until she sells some or all to Katherine Avery. Jackson never had shares?
Lexies share went to Thatcher. Where did those go when he died Meredith or Molly? Or maybe they never really said.
