Grey's Anatomy Recap

In the most recent episode of Grey’s Anatomy which aired on Thursday we witnessed a face transplant. The patient needed to have 70% of his face grafted. This surgery was considered one of the biggest surgeries in the world and it just happened to be happening at Seattle Grace Hospital while everything was going to heck. Derek refuses to come back to work even after Dr. Bailey had sent Callie and Owen out there to retrieve him but find themselves telling stories of the patients that they have both lost. Eventually, Chief gets fed up and heads out to the woods himself to talk to Derek. They then argue about Chief had told Meredith about the ring and that he had hit it out into the woods that night that he had sent her out to talk him into coming back to Seattle Grace. Also during this time the interns have some issues that need to be solved. Two of the boys are beating each other over a girl that we find out is pregnant with one of their kids. While Christina is preparing to do her solo surgery, she is also helping Izzie with getting and appointment to get her melanoma cancer cells checked out in which she ends up not going to. Izzie confides in Christina that she doesn’t want to be a patient and have the staff laugh at her and call her names while under the knife. She tells Christina that she doesn’t want anybody to know and that she is just going to live with it. Later in Christina’s solo surgery before she asks for the scalpel she reveals to Bailey and Alex what is wrong with Izzie. At the end of the episode Meredith goes out to Derek’s trailer in the woods and he tells her that he loves her and she said she knew. He then asked her if she would still love him if he wasn’t a surgeon. She said no. But then tells him of Izzie’s condition and gives him the scans of her brain. After she leaves we see him pick them up. So my guess is that in the next episode Derek goes back to try to save Izzie because at the end of the show we also see her transferring to a patient and is no longer a doctor. I am really excited for the next episode because, hopefully, Derek will be back at Seattle Grace and they(he) will be able to save Izzie and everything will go back to normal! Also at the very end we see that the face transplant patient successfully got a new face but is still a bit bruised and swollen. That should be neat to see on Thursday how that turns out and if it gets infected or not. I am also excited to find out how Christina’s solo surgery went. Four days till then! Can’t wait!

Catching Up

So today I spent a good amount of my day at home catching up with all the episodes of my television shows that I haven’t had time watch the past few weeks. Desperate Housewives is on tonight at 8 PM and I am super excited to finally be able to be home and watch it with my mom and watch it the day it actually is showed! As I was catching up on my shows on the ABC website, I also took the quiz to find out which Desperate Housewife I was. Turns out to be that I am Lynette! It told me that I am usually always there to help someone when they need it, which is very true on my part. Ask me for help and I will try my best to help you out. It said some other things too that I think are very true about how I feel and look at things. In the recent episode that I caught up on today the Scavo’s were having a going-out-of-business sale at the pizzeria and Tom was having a pretty rough time with all this. Katherine was having a house warming party for Mike because he had just moved into her house with her and the girls, Gabrielle, Bree, and Edie were all surprised that Susan had been invited and was being an adult about it and was actually letting Katherine use here punch bowl at the party. Bree tries to help out Tom by inviting her publisher over for dinner as well as the Scavo’s for a little interview as he is looking for someone to do advertisements for books and other things like that. While they are at dinner Tom seems to be of little interest and then Lynette decides to step up for the family and try and get the job. Tom realizes this, and then also starts wanting the job, so they get into a big fight and say some pretty bad things about each other but later at home they forgive each other and Tom decided to let Lynette go back to work and they are happy again. Also in this episode we find that Orson has a minor pick-pocketing habit that will most likely get him into trouble in the near future. The episode ends with Gabrielle getting a call from Carlos’s boss’s wife, Maria, who needs their help. They go over to their house and find Brad, Carlos’s boss dead on the floor with a knife in his back because he had told Maria about his new love that he had found. That is how that episode ended, so I am excited to watch the new episode in like twenty minutes!

Spoilers..what's the fun in that??

I missed Grey’s Anatomy this last Thursday because I went to my high school BBB District Championship game and I haven’t had time yet to watch it online. So, I Googled Grey’s Anatomy and then I found this website www.tvfanatic.com, which has a bunch of shows you can look at pages for, and I clicked a drop down box and clicked Grey’s Anatomy because I had missed it this past week. So now I am on this webpage titled Grey’s Anatomy Insider and I am thinking “sweet, this could be a fun website since Grey’s is like my favorite show.” On the home page of this website you can get a sneak peek at the next weeks episode. There is also a tab that is dedicated to the quotes from the show . There are groups for the top rated quotes, recent quotes, quotes by episode or quotes from a certain character that you can use as searching tools. There are also other tabs for pictures from the show, episode guides, forums which has like message boards so people can discuss things about the show with other fanatics , and one that is dedicated to giving information about the characters and the cast of the show. Then what really got me was the tab at the top titled Spoilers. I read down a few paragraphs and this website has people asking questions about things that happen in the show and they want to know what is going on before the show actually reveals it. I was kind of upset with this because what is the fun in watching the show when you already know what is going to be revealed. What is the fun if there is no suspense? Because I had found this information of course I had to read it and now I am kind of upset that I did because it ruined the whole show for me. I will still watch it but I won’t like to watch it knowing what is going to be revealed during the episode.

On the Web

Some television channels are all about drama and they create websites dedicated to their shows and to their viewers , so that if we happen to miss an episode it will be right there the next day so we are able to see it. The two most common channels and websites for drama television are ABC and TNT.
On ABC’s website they give you the opportunity to watch the episodes of your favorite series online for free! Some of the shows available are The Bachelor, Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, General Hospital, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Private Practice, Scrubs, Supernanny, Ugly Betty and a few others. There is also a schedule that shows what time every show is on during the current week. Also on the website, there are blogs you can read or participate in, games and quizzes about the shows, message boards and widgets. You can also view photos of the characters of the show, information about the shows, bios and episode recaps. They also have tours you can watch of the shows! Even though this site’s purpose is for the shows shown on it, you can also click on a link that will take you to the news for the day.
TNT’s slogan is WE KNOW DRAMA. If we want to watch some good drama television, I guess that is the channel or website to go to! On the site you can watch videos and series online for free also. They also have sneak peeks of the newest episodes. The site also tells us the movies that are going to be shown or have recently been on the channel. There are games you can play and information about sports like the NBA, NASCAR, and Golf. Just like ABC, TNT also gives a schedule of their shows for the day. There is a link to enter a sweepstakes to win a gift certificate to Amazon.com. The two websites are very similar except ABC doesn’t give sneak peeks of the newest episodes and doesn’t have a sweepstakes that can be entered that I know of. I go on ABC.com a lot because I am often busy at the time they are showed, so it helps a lot that they have free viewing of past episodes so I don’t miss an episode!
