Thank you for getting this started!
And big thanks to Duchovlet for posting those promo pix in the other thread -- I was thrilled to see them!

I was very pleased to see a fair amount of Owen in the promos for Episode 1 -- as much as I'm still in profound mourning for Cristina (and still feel like they should have just wrapped the whole series at the end of season 10), I'm excited at the prospect of Owen possibly getting some strong storylines this year, which can focus on him outside of the heartbreak that was Crowen.
Kevin McKidd deserves some Owen-centric screentime on this series!! And lord help me -- the prospect of more High Drama with Meredith leaves me dreading Season 11...
I'm dying to know what Owen is racing through the scene to do in that one action shot -- if it's not running for a door to catch Cristina's departing taxi, I'll be disappointed!
(Which... okay, I've seen Shonda statements saying the series will pick up within minutes of the closing moments of season 10... but the closing moments were late at night at Casa de Shepherd, right? Meh...)

I've seen blog posts posing that Owen and Amelia may be an idea (short term?) this season. I've not watched Private Practice and am not interested in doing so -- what do PP fans here make of that possible pairing?
(Geena Davis's guest character may also be possible Owen love-interest, I've seen? That could be interesting... I just won't want to buy into anyone who's NOT Cristina...)

I really don't think I could stomach Owen with any love interest right now - certainly not Amelia or Geena Davis' character, that's for sure.
I hope they just keep him on his own for a while.

I do wish they would let Owen stay alone for a while! But this is Grey's Anatomy. Do you think they can go two full episodes before the romantic jockeying begins? If we can make it through two or three, I'll count myself (and poor Owen!) lucky indeed...
I'm tempted to go back to Season 6 and see how long Alex went between Izzie and Lexie. But I think the Reed character was immediately being dangled in Alex's face as well as a possibility? Granted, I'm unclear how far in advance the GA's writer room plans these things. It seemed to me that they throw actors together for an ep or two just to see what the chemistry is -- remember Cristina & Avery? -- and if there's anything that excites the fans enough to work with it some more...

Just watched episode 11x3. Even as Owen had me in tears, I couldn't help but think maybe this is single most dialogue-heavy scene Kevin McKidd has had on this series? Certainly it's his first heavy monologue in longer than I can recall. Poor Owen. (And... anyone else wonder if they're gonna pair up Callie and Owen now? Eeeeek...)

I can´t stand Amelia either - you can feel that posh and snobbish vibe around her charater - I think I´m a surgery god or something like that.

It was really, really emotional, like a last reverence to Christina Yang. That one shot is indeed amazing, because KMK took it beyond the lense ... not only telling Callie, but telling it to us all. Also 5 Seasons later a retour for Callie - remember 5.12, when Callie told him not to give up - her monologue on him :-) I agree, no love interest for Owen this season.

I don´t know how you are all dealing with this Amelia thing that is being pushed on as love interest for Owen with her flirty lines, throwing flirting looks at Owen and melodramatic music being played in the background...
I feel furious because in 1102 Owen vehemently said he wanted to be left alone to heal/as we all know he was not talking only about McNeils) and boom 1107,1108 he is already in scenes with Amelia which have romantic undertone.I guess for the writers 4 episodes is enough to heal after a six-year long committed relationship. Bravo!
How the writers are pushing Amelia on him is disgusting, even the thing she mentioned knowing where he lives and that she is nearby, yuck, I can´t stand this character and I am not sorry for that.Plus, there is nothing feminine about her,the thick voice she uses and some manly gestures she makes, like sitting in the chair and all the stuff. Plus,we all know what she misses as she said in 1102, mind-blowing sex, I guess this is what she is looking for and hoping for with Owen. Owen only apporached her as a friend nothing more, offering her support but you could see she behaved differently, and I believe the actress was directed to play it in a firty way, as the writer is always on set while shooting we know where the wind is blowing from.
How are you all dealing with this? I´ll only say poor poor Owen to get into the hands of a drug addict, and also personally Amelia has been behaving horribly to Derek.
I really believed the change of headwriters would be felt,but what a fool I was.

Somehow I agree with you S5fan. Didn't think as much as you about this scenario. Now I am. But I'm not so harsh in my opinion about Amelias caracter. She is very boyish, but yet vulnerable on several levels (imho). I still like the friendship ties between Callie and Owen. It's more work related but still, there is that deep understanding level between them. They could explore that more in the show. Callies caracter has the capability to put Owen back on track to move on in his (screen)life. Well,I'm just waiting on how the whole thing will evolve. That's for me actually the interesting part.
Merry Christmas from Germany!

Thank you moon for keeping this discussion alive:) So happy someone wants to discuss and speculate:)
I´m dreading the upcoming episodes so much(they are already shooting 1114!!!) which makes 6 episodes ahead of 1108,knowing how fast the writers went with Owen and Emma, what will they do with Owen and Amelia???Rhimes supports it, and this is very, very worrying. There were too many OA scenes in two consecutive episodes (remember in their second scene ever together and in their first one on one scene Owen already calls her Amelia, then she says she likes him,one would have to be an idiot not to pick up on the clues) - compare it wit h Maggie, she asked him to call her Maggie in 1024, yet he still calls her Dr Pierce in 1108.
Writers don´t ever listen to fans, we could cut our hearts out,they will go ahead with what they like.
Merry Christmas to you,too and please drop a few lines if you have time. You are right with Callie there, I just want them to stay friends but nothing more,and indeed she really helped Owen to pursue Cristina. Plus,how lame of Amelia to ask Owen if he has people, of course, he has that is Callie and it is enough! I´m furious writer even put the line out there, when we all know the only person who has been there for Owen after Cristina left is Callie,plus Maggie helped him find some peace through McNeils as well.

Somehow we always forget the "Chief" Richard Webber as Owen's person. He always kept an eye on Owen. Not intruding, but always some good advice at hand when necessary. Maggie still is a kind of intruder for me, I don't get her and all her fuss about her real parents. Well, when the writers want to mix Owen and Amelia, "let's give it a go" [ups... that's a line from a different KMK movie ;-)] but I'm praying for some funny, bubbly moments not the dark depressive corner again. Also Dr.Hermann and Owen could get some lines togheter. KMK and Geena Davies = my personal dreamteam on screen...(NOT a romantic one!). That would be really fun to watch... But, as you say, they never listen to us viewer/fans. I've seen some opinions on social media (twitter) about Owen+Amelia (How will they name them? Owelia? Amen??? Seriously? ) I'm not a fan of this girlish fandom frenzy over there ... Very long hiatus though ...

Rhimes tweeted yesterday in response to the question if she could tell a little more about Amelia and Owen. "No. Because I have not decided anything permanent about Amelia and Owen. Anything could change at any moment."
Can we be hopeful she has not decided to continue to develop this storyline?
I pray this nonsensical pairing of Owen with Amelia will not happen, ever.

Yes,more Owen and Richard scenes, they barely shared screentime this season,only in 1101 when Richard sort of invited Owen to a man date. Why do you think Maggie is an intruder?What don´t you get about her? Thanks. Hopefully, Owen and Amelia won´t happen, what do you think about what Rhimes tweeted on Jan 2?
