So this week -- the actual crossover event -- lots to discuss. Here's your highs and lows...
Lindy-High: Here's the deal -- we've had a bit of an epiphany this week. We love Audra McDonald. We LOVE Taye Diggs. Kate Walsh is a goddess. Yet, in spite of all this, we kind of hate Private Practice. The plots aren't really compelling which renders the characters (even the aforementioned objects of our affection) a bit boring in context. However, this week Sam and Naomi came to Seattle Grace and a transformation occurred. Suddenly, Sam and Naomi were complex characters with interesting backstory. We love, love, love the right-there-in-front-of-you contrast between Derek's old life with Addison and his new life with Meredith -- mostly, because the colorful interest of the former casts the sad blandness of the latter into sharp relief. Solution: abandon ship on Private Practice, move Addison, Sam and Naomi back to Grey's Anatomy. Fire the interns and Izzie, give George more of the awkward humor/rally-the-troops enthusiasm that made him fun in the beginning, and we're off to the races. Right? Who's with us?
Olivia-High: Okay, so first and foremost, we are totally on board with Remote Lindy’s idea to keep all the strongest parts of the two weak shows, creating a crazy Siamese Frankenstein of a medical show. Sew it back together. It’s what’s best for all of us. Also, Derrick grew some balls this week. Not fake self-righteous bravado, real balls. He went head-to-head with Addison over a patient’s well being, and was actually right. For once. Waita Man Up, Dr. McHair. Now lets talk about the really important thing: Hair. Kate Walsh’s hair is just beyond . . . Her hair along with Taye Diggs’ gorgeousness really carried us through two hours of crossover eventus.
Lindy-Low: Izzie and her weird camp counselor zeal to put the fun back in surgical grunt work. We can't deal with glitter. We just can't. Also, is there really nothing else going on at the hospital that Cheif Jim Pickens has time to hold one side of a scotch tape finish line?
Olivia-Low: Plain and simple, we are annoyed. Lexie is annoying. Izzie and her weird dormant brain/glitter illness are annoying. Meredith and her little cheater friend Sadie? Annoying. Even Christina and Dr. Hunt annoyed us this week. Dr. Hunt’s sweet-as-pie ex-fiancé shows up out of nowhere this week, because her father is dying. We don’t understand why Hunt would break up with a woman (an annoying woman, btw) over email. And, we don’t understand why Christina accepts his “I didn’t want to hurt her” excuse. That’s annoying. It’s cowardice and it’s annoying. Remote Lindy: If we merge the shows can we get rid of Lexie, Meredith, and Hunt’s cowardice too?
