The Morning After: Thursday Night TV

This is one of those days when I turn GMMR over to you.  I’m a busy blogger today and I’m going to be away from a computer (gasp) for the next few hours.  I know, I know…Fridays are important, but this can’t be helped.

So if you want to talk about UGLY BETTY, GREY’S, SCRUBS, LOST or any of the other Thursday night shows, I turn the forum over to you.  Feel free to dazzle us with your own mini recaps, your insightful observations, or just bitch and moan to your hearts content.  I’ll be trying to reach the comments throughout the day as I know I’ll be thoroughly entertained.

Ugly Betty…
What is happening?  Most shows were invigorated by the time off they had during the strike but the BETTY writers seem to have lost their funny bone on the picket lines.  Betty throwing a shower for Charlie, her arch nemesis? Daniel becoming the Man-Ho….again?! Willie and Marc scheming in the back of a limo.  Snooze.  The only bright spots in the whole episode was Hilda’s new crush and Amanda eating disorder.  Bring back the funny! Please…I’m begging you.

Grey’s Anatomy…
Another great episode.  Why am I waiting for the other shoe to drop?  What a thrill to see Santiago (Benny Ciaramello) guesting as the soldier with the tumor.  That whole storyline had me on the verge of tears.  When Todd stood up to Mr. Covington and demanded to know what was going on with Darren only to find out he was dead.  Ugh.  So sad.  And cheers to David Giuntoli for an amazing performance as Todd.  I knew the actor looked familiar but I just couldn’t place him.  Then I was reading Ducky’s recap over at AfterElton.com and found out that he is an ex Road Ruler.  Oh yeah, now I remember.

In other hospital happenings, I’m still bored with the mere presence of Katherine Heigl.  She’s over the show, I’m over her.  It’s easy, just let Izzie go.  I loved Dr. Bailey’s freak out on the Chief.  It was 100% in character as we learned previously that she has some self esteem issues when it comes to men.  I’m ready for Mer and Derek to get back together, but if that means that Meredith has to leave therapy then I can wait a bit longer. I think it’s working and she needs to stick with it.

Who cares about Preston Burke’s award? Where is Christina Yang?  Did she leave when he did?  Maybe that’s the point she was trying to make in her speech to the Chief.  Who knows?  Who cares?

Lost…
Feel free to talk about LOST.  I can easily skip over those comments until I’ve had a chance to see it.  Yes, I missed LOST last night.  It was late people.  I finally got around to LOST around midnight and I found my eyes drooping while fighting to stay awake.  You wouldn’t want me to half ass watch an episode, right?  I need to be fully prepared for this week’s “Two Idiots Talk LOST”.  I’m counting down the minutes until I get to see it later today.  But feel free to chat it up.  I’ll be interested in reading your comments when I’m done.

So that’s that.  I turn my site over to you.  Annnnnd begin my little bloggers.
