Okay, I am quite disappointed about this episode... haha, what am I kidding? I actually have no expectation on GA, except the O/C storyline. But still, even the O/C line is not done in justice, simply because Owen is kind of out of character to me. The handling of Cristina is good, and I love the avoidance between these two. Love the scene where Owen and Cristina are both in the same room hearing the patient talking about how his partner should leave ealier. However, Owen's action are not appropriate, especially in this stage. I'm sorry to upset most of you, but I think Owen is TOO aggressive. I mean, the pinky, it's fine, but a hand hold? NO! Totally not what Owen will do, especially when he has declared that he is not going to be too close to Cristina. As a man with a military background, he should have self-discipline. The trauma situation is a good idea, since we finally can see a real E.R. in this show. Yet, the direction, imo, is kind of sloppy that I don't see the tension and urgency of saving these college students. They are still talking about their own personal c.r.a.p. (especially Callie/Arizona. That is the most wtf storyline I've ever seen). The only thing that really saved the episode is the last segment. The twist is beautiful and touching. Love the fact that we saw Izzie crawling back on the bed, and having ther hair falls off. Yet, I got my eyes widen when Alex says to Izzie, "You look good in bald anyway." Seriously? You said that you are now a man. Err... I think you still have a lot to learn. Sorry about being SO critical this evening, but as a creative writing student, I really got bugged by these things. Well, at least, we got somthing good coming up in the SF. ;D

For all the tears shed by so many characters this was a very enjoyable episode.
Despiite the fact that this is not the season finale the episode had a very full circle feel to it. The students all dressed for a wonderful occassion, just like the couples going ball room dancing in the premiere. The one girl crying that she had not slept with another student, a bit of an echo of the affair between one of the husbands and wives in the opener. Sudden death and the idea that a day really can make a huge difference in everyone's life. I'm a bit surprised Alex didn't carry Izzy over the threshhold of the hospital room like Owen carried Cristina but we'll get to that in a minute.
Starting with Callie and Arizona. Callie's reality is so altered and she really has no clue how to explain that to Arizona or herself. I think her tearful explanation of why she ran out on Arizona supports the idea that she might move in with her by the finale. I was glad they got it sorted out. Arizona reminds me a bit of a small yappy dog who won't quit until you either kick it or pet it. Persistent, annoying but somehow endearing.
Mark and Lexie. Well not much of those two but it was sweet to see a very public acknowledgment of affection in the church.
Meredith and Derek. It surprised me that on their supposed big day we actually saw very little of them as a couple. I like the light hearted exchanges with Meredith and the Cheif. Seemed to fit the characters even if it didn't really fit the theme of the story in some cases. Derek all dour and serious right up until the I dos at the church also worked well. Still no definitive answers for Izzy and again he's in a bit of a crisis. My prediction: the two of them are going to show up at city hall with Cris and hopefully Owen as witnesses and tie the knot in a very quiet way. C/O because they can keep a secret better than anyone. *listens for the collective groan of the Mer/Der fans*
Well now we know how Izzy/Alex usurped Mer/Der's day. I like the idea of making the wedding a gift. It was sweet without being too sappy IMO. Nice scene between poor Alex and Meredith. And then we have Bailey who really is the proud mama in every way. She is so strong. Nicely portrayed by Chandra Wilson. I must say I literally swore at the TV when Denny showed up. I'm glad his presence actually served a purpose without any stupid jokes. The final scene between Alex/Izzy was bittersweet. I loved his speech at the church and the way he is so matter of factly reassuring her. He needs to maintain that attitude for his own sanity but also because she can't have it any other way. Nicely done all around by Justin Chambers and yes KH.
George in the pit. Okay loved that very much and I'm now even more disappointed that T.R. is likely to leave. I do hope they don't kill George off but I have my doubts. I really enjoyed his scenes with Owen especially. Particularly the scene where George had to call the kid's time of death and later when Owen told him that trauma was a team sport. Good to see teacher/mentor stuff on this show that feels real and not forced or implausible. The bit where George helped Izzy down the aisle gets an awww from me. Easily one of the sweetest moments of the night.
So finally to Owen and Cris. The scene on the railing. For the first time Owen actually talking about what he did. Understanding why he did it and trying to explain to Cris. It's a huge step. I can understand why Cris doesn't touch him. She's not a physical person and she can't just reach back even though it's obvious that she is listening and does understand.
Love how the kid's story resonated for both of them. The idea of loving someone even when you knew it wasn't good or easy. The idea of being there and the sadness when you realize that the person you are looking for has suddenly left without any forwarding address. The looks between Cris and Owen spoke volumes. Good writing as each word was a mirror for them.
That brief touch by Owen when the kid died. Again heartbreaking but enough to assure Cris that he has not left or given up. Hoping she can do the same. In some ways I think their eye contact at the church was the most important moment for them tonight. An acknowledgment of where they are physically and emotionally. Renewing the connection. While I was hoping for an actual conversation in the church I can't say I was disappointed that the last bit of Cris we see is her hammering on that ceiling fan. No way that will ever stir Owen's demons again. [/spoiler]

Well, at least, we got somthing good coming up in the SF. ;D I agree regarding the personal discussions between Callie and Arizona. I think we are meant to laugh and they went too far with it. I did like where it took the characters in the end.
The problem we're running into in regards to Owen's behavior is a jumping of time. Last week on the show it was obvious that he would not or could not touch her. When Cristina asks about therapy while standing at the railing this week the implication of Owen's reply is that there have been several sessions. He has had the breakthrough of knowing why he choked Cris. He is recognizing triggers now. He is more ready to reach out to her. And while he stumbles a bit in talking to her, he can actually talk to her without losing control of his emotions. The hand hold in the ER was extreme but so was the situation. He recognizes what they've just gone through and he doesn't want her to feel alone. In part because he's not deaf to what the college student said and what it means in terms of his relationship with Cris.
I was afraid of this kind of acceleration in their timeline. I hope they handle it better next week. I don't think you're being overly critical George. Just honest.[/color]

I think in this stage, even for a comfort gesture, Owen will struggle for whether he should do that or not. Of course, at the end, he should, so that it rings back what the boy says, but if they could just show that Owen did stuggle even for a second, that will do. Guys, there is time in that room. You don't need to act at that instant.

They needed more of a look between them for hesitation to work. Too bad we didn't get that

The review shows up for me....

Post by MarryMeOwen on May 7, 2009 23:12:17 GMT -5
I mostly liked this episode, I didn't LOVE it, but I liked it. Although I think that if I was a Mer/Der fan I'd be a bit peeved: So we get in the beginning flashes of the 'bride' getting ready for her wedding day. I have to say that I figured it would be Izzie and Alex the minute they started letting Izzie plan the wedding. It was just a no-brainer. The thing that I liked though is how Mer/Der are finally in a place where they are in their own world, and really could careless about what anyone else is doing in terms of pettiness. They are really a mature couple now, and I have enjoyed seeing them grow. I think its funny how they really didn't care they didn't get married on their wedding day, they are just happy as they are.
I'm still finding kind of hard to like Izzie. I am more just frustrated with all the focus of this storyline. I felt the 100th ep should be more mer/der centered. I guess since they had no dramas of their own Izzies is enough. I am kind of indifferent to whether or not Izzie lives or dies. I am tired of Dead Denny, I realize his reasons for being there now, but it is kind of like the writers throwing that back in our faces which kind of sucks for long time fans. But I did notice that he's wearing dark clothing, looks de-sheveled and is not the way that Izzie remembered him when she first started hallucinating. I think this is to show the difference obviously, but also how the visions of him are now representing something bad instead of re-living a happy time in her life. I read somewhere on another board that instead of a love letter to the fans it was a big efff you to the fans and I kind of have to agree when you think about how the show started out.
I think it is fitting that Bailey is the one really helping izzie through this, though I am guessing George's absence from Izzie's plight is nothing more than a writing thing between the actor and the writers. Which is really unfortunate. It would have been nice to get some great George/ izzie scenes during these final episodes, george walking izzie down the isle was nice to see, but a little too late as far as I'm concerned, plus I thought Alex would have wanted George in the wedding party, or at least Izzie. It just didn't make sense. George just seemed completely misplaced, except when he was in trauma which brings me to Owen.
Just to begin I want to comment on how poignant that scene on the bridge was. Owen walked up to Cristina, who was already there, interrupting her thoughts. I think it really shows how much progress he's making, that he can approach her instead of avoid her. I also think that Cristina's reactions were interesting. You could tell she wasn't sure what she should feel, especially after he basically said I love you to her last week. They kind of know where they stand, they just can't be together. Life sucks. The pinky touch was cool I thought, it really showed how Owen is trying to take small steps back to her, but it also shows how she's not quite ready.
Its such a difference to see how aggressive and baddass Owen is in the ER doing trauma work. He is very organized, prioritizes, and really gets things under control. I think its an interesting dynamic considering what the dude is going through in his own life. I think it was also interesting to see how Cristina was struggling the entire time with her own emotions and basically trying to figure out what the next step is now that Owen is clearly getting better and will be continuing therapy. She just needed a little push. I think the fact that the patient who wanted to be with his g/f but couldn't, ended up being with her only in death. Cristina didn't want to end up that way. She knows that she has to take the next step, its just a matter of when. I think that Owen holding her hand as she called TOD was very poignant. Something without words, but says millions about what they both are feeling at that time. I think it really displays how they are still desperate for each other, but unlike last week when they didn't connect, they were practically in synch emotionally. Each was trying to figure out what step to take next. I think it will be Cristina next week. I also think that it was great to see them sharing the classic wedding looks with each other, though I knew we'd get robbed of some great after wedding scenes, which we were. I loved that we see Cristina trying to take down her ceiling fan in the end. That's a sign that she really wants a future with Owen and wants to go to any lengths to make that happen. I still dont know if I believe she'll ask Owen to move in with her, though considering Callie's situation, it could happen. But amazing work from both, and I liked the fact that they give us an emotional breathing space between an episode like last week and this one.
Speaking of Callie, I am still finding her stituation unbelievable. She still makes around 30k, I know shonda said 27000. And if you have a roommate that's not poor. Honestly she's not an intern, she's a resident, get it together writers! Though I love the dynamic with her and AZ. AZ is just cute as a button, and I loved Cristina's nickname for her. Cris is starting to remind me of Sawyer on Lost. Either way I'm glad they had an honest conversation in the end. I think AZ was kind fo clueless since Callie was too proud at first to admit her situation, but because she was in that situation due to her relationship, AZ had nothing to complain about. I like their dynamic, sometimes its a bit too cutesy, I hope we see AZ having some bad days soon or else I'll start thinking she never has problems like normal people.
As a GA fan I think it was kind of a lame 100th episode, not really what I was expecting, I expected more full circle moments and the tying of loose ends which didn't happen. I really sympathize with Mer/Der fans though now I know where their angst is coming from.

I won't have an emotional hangover over this epi As usual have to put up with some fluff to get to the good stuff. It did feel rushed, and I do feel they are rushing Owen's therapy some and therefore rushing Chris/Owen relationship. But hey it's tv. Last epi, Christina let it be known to Owen that even though they are broke up she still cares and doesn't want to be shut out. So now that he is making progress with his therapy and making sense of what happened he is so anxious to talk to her, to reach out to her, but knows he has to go slow. Her asking about therapy was a little crack in the door opening, and instead of barging in, he reaches out to her with his hand, ever so delicately....but she's not ready to let him all the way in and changes the subject and quietly moves away. Similar in the ER, when he reaches out for her hand, offering comfort. In the church, that glance sealed their hope. I absolutely cheered in Christina's final scene where she is tearing down the ceiling fan because that means she intends to have him in her bedroom again

Just a thought.. The ceiling fan coming down I think is also a symbol of Cristina "nesting" or preparing for the future, something that is life changing, whether it is Owen moving in like some are speculating, or moving forward, or pregnancy or whatever it is, I hope we will be a bunch of happy fans next week

Recognition: Apart from the hand holding which still tickles me a little, I think Owen's performance in this episode is credible. He did change. That's what I love about it.

I agree about what the ceiling fan means. Just so long as they don't push this all too far too quickly.

Ok this episode just didn't work for me...didn't hate it didnt like it either. I think I would have preferred a Mer Der wedding it just lost its sparkle after the swop.
Trauma cases were good and lots of Owen but found the O/C situation frustrating....touches, looks although Kevin and Sandra did it well (as always, and perhaps this is the reaction they wanted from a fan) I just dont look forward to episode after episode of the same thing .... or Ill be the one standing up and shouting at the telly, "Enough, already get on with it" LOL
Alex was good and I enjoyed George. Not sure about the Callie thing because here Doctors just get paid the most absorbent salaries so its hard to compute she has no money
Kudos for the ceiling fan removal, theres hope ..... ;D Screencaps to follow

George I'm kinda with you on this one..(having just read all your reviews now) and Rural I can see your review just fine ... I think my male experience is that if they make up there mind not to do something like touch or love a girl its normally the girl who is trying to persuade the male to change his mind and the girl who is in turn-oil (OK perhaps this is just from a girls perspective) but men never seem to have a problem with that so it feels out of character for a male little lone Owen but then Owen isn't really in a character he is struggling to find him self as they say in the soapies ......But yeah I would think Owen would be a little bit more badassed about this....Rural you are probably right its the time-line that throws us ..... Of course this is a writers issue and not a question with regards Kevin's acting ability

Of course this is a writers issue and not a question with regards Kevin's acting ability I just rewatched. I still enjoyed it overall even though it's very sudsy. A note about timeframe here. Bailey assures Alex that Izzy's incision appears as expected two weeks after surgery. Since Izzy was going under the knife by the end of the last ep we now know how much time has gone by. So I suppose Owen would have made some of that slow progress he alludes to. I still find the discussion by the railing highly significant. The look he gives Cris is pretty heart breaking but at least he's talking in a steady voice and actually naming his actions. Not something he could do before. I think it's hard for all of us to remember that Owen is a tactile person by nature. He has been the first to reach out in the past and the Owen of Before was impulsive as noted by others. In actions as well as words. So maybe the touch of fingers and the later hand hold is not so off the wall. In rewatching I notice that Cristina turns and looks at him while they are standing next to the dead student before actually pulling away. Not running, just at a loss as to where they can go from here. The promo for next week's finale gives us a good indication that wherever they are going it will have at least some positive energy there

Okay this episode for me was okay but not as good as the past couple. I don't really think that it was 100th episode worthy. Overall I think that the episode felt too rushed. To have the wedding story line, the students from the crash in the ER and the other small story lines I felt like they were rushing things and I never really connected that much to the episode. I am also a Merder fan and I would have much rather saw a Merder wedding. It didn't really excite me that much to see Izzie and Alex get married and like I said before it was soo rushed. You didn't really get to see any of the before the wedding or after the wedding stuff that makes a wedding so much fun. So in that sense I am kinda glad that Merder didn't get married last night because the wedding was only in like the last 5-10 minutes of the show.
Even though the overall episode didn't do much for me I did love the Cris/Owen scenes. I think they are sooo adorable I don't know what it is but I love every scene they have together. They are both wonderful actors and so much is always going on between them without anything even being said. The first scene I thought was so wonderful. I loved how Owen was able to talk to Cris about the therapy and kinda open up to her about it. I wanted a scene like this. To show us that he is getting better and that they will be able to be together soon (without the threat of him accidentally hurting her). I understand that yeah it may be a little soon but clearly time has passed since the last episode. Hey it’s a tv show and its supposed to be entertaining so regarding that I just try not to think so critically.
I loved the patient that Cris was working on and how it related with Cris and Owen’s situation. How when people love each other they shouldn’t let things get in the way of being with eachother.
Then when Cris was tearing down her ceiling fan I was sooo excited. As noted by somebody else already it means she plans on having him in there again. I would love to see some more cute relationship scenes that show that they are in love, like in episode 19. How they were watching the surgery together in her bed. It was soo cute.

I was slightly disappointed in this episode mainly because it seemed crammed full and rushed--but maybe that was the point. Meredith and Derek calmly discussing getting married while both saying "this wedding is SO not us" was nice. I'm happy to see them telling each other their real thoughts instead of tap-dancing around the edges. I knew it was going to be Izzie's wedding, so that part was not a disappointment.
Cristina and Owen on the bridge, with the shrink discussion and the pinky touch was my favorite scene. Also, when he clasped her hand after the student's death, I think it was a much smaller gesture than he really wanted to make, because in other circumstances, he would have hugged her. And yeah, the ceiling fan coming down is Cristina's method of paving the way to a reunion.
Izzie and Alex's wedding was really touching. As Izzie wavered coming down the aisle, I was pleading with George to "step up and help her". Izzie choosing Meredith as Alex's best man was a sweet touch, because Mer really is his closest buddy among the fab 5. I had tears in my eyes as Alexander Michael Karev said those heart-felt vows to Isobel Katherine Stevens. Alex has come a long way from the egotistical jerk of earlier seasons. I loved how C/O, Mer/Der and Mark/Lexie shared significant looks with each other.
The only part missing for me was more Owen/Cristina discussion after the wedding, but I'm guessing that comes next week.
