So I caught up on my Grey's from last week in preparation for tonight's episode. I know what you're thinking... YES, I still watch Grey's. Geeze, enough with the interrogation, people. Let's just hope that tonight's epi won't make me want to reach through the screen, grab a scalpel and slice my eyes out... again.
In the episode entitled "The Time Warp," it was lecture day at Seattle Grace. Yup... Thrilling. In their speeches, Callie, Bailey, and the Chief took a gander back in time to when the Chief wasn't bald, Bailey wore a weave, and Callie still loved peen. Ohh the good ole days.
In the Chief's flashback, the audience got a first row seat to the adulterous nookie between him and Meredith's momma. And who did ABC cast to play the wretched Ellis Grey? The sexy Sarah Paulson. Sure, it's believable that the woman who could charm the heart of Cupid himself would one day look like the grim reaper. What? You, didn't watch Cupid during its 7 episode stint on ABC? Maybe you are more familiar with her performance as Mel Gibson's sexretary in What Women Want. "It's OK, I just use the company phones to call my boyfriend in Israel."
Bailey's flashback was a little less palatable. We learned that in her first year as an intern, Bailey was fourteen years old. Not really, but you expect me to believe that an educated 26-year-old woman would sport braids, glasses, a pink turtleneck sweatshirt and a jest? Comeon people, the year was 2003... NOT 1989. What is it with TV and Movies and throwing glasses on actors and making them fashionably retarded to make them look "younger?" And then they cast Fran Stalinofskivitchdavitovichsy from Dodgeball as Bailey's resident? You got it... the deadliest woman on earth.
Ah, and then there's Callie. Nothing really jaw-dropping here--just a subtle reminder that she used to speak dong... and quite fluently I might add.
Moral of the story, it took me about 10 minutes and 18 Fresh Step kitty litter commercials (seriously, ABC?) to realize that this episode would have absolutely no impact on the next. Oh well. At least we all learned a lesson here: if you're having a medical emergency, have the ambulance avoid Seattle Grace... it could be lecture day and all the docs might be too busy reminiscing than saving lives.
