    Doesn't get better than this

    I have been watching all the re-runs over the summer of Grey's Anatomy. I am not a big TV watcher, but I had to find out what the hype was all about with this show...now I know; I have been an avid fan of shows before, but there is something so totally different and awesome about this one...I am Obsessed...never thought I would ever say that about anything on TV. I am nearing the end of the first season, and I have revolved my entire life around my watching this show...I record it so I can be absolutely sure I miss nothing. It is Sunday and TWO episodes are coming on tonight. I'm feeling like a child does the night before Christmas, which is so out of character for me. This show totally rocks...and this is coming from a 36 year old married mom...obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. This particular episode, "It's the End of the World", BLEW me away. I'm so glad I saw it as a re-run because the "to be continued" was back to back. If I had to wait a whole week to see what happened, I think I would have freaked :) This episode is the best thing I have EVER seen on TV.

    Title When Originally Aired = Code Black

    I didn't get then and still don't get now how Alex knew what Code Black meant but all the other people didn't.

    Very Well done!

    Greys Anatomy is by far my most favorite show in TV. I tell all of my friends I cannot start my week with out seeing Greys Anatomy!! This episode in Particular was executed perfectly! Coming from an Acting background, I wish I could be on the set with these amazing actors!! It was amazing!! Christina Ricci was perfect for the role! If you do not know her, she played in Prozac Nation and was Wednesday in the Adams Family! This episode was perfect! The only reason I watched the super bowl was so I would not miss this! This show goes deep in my heart because I'm studying to be a Cranial facial Surgical Nurse! The episode on the Nurse's Striking was phenomenal! Not to mention "George" was excellent! He's always excellent!! T.R. Knight does wonderfully in this show! HE is my favorite actor! Really all I can say about this episode is... I am lost for words. Bravo!

    The Quintessential episode.

    This episode of Grey's Anatomy (normally not my show) is the absolute sum-mum of what an episode in a recurring series can bring. Plot, humor, a thriller, sex, good music... this episode may perhaps not be surpassed by any series, and can be put on level with Tarantino's episode on CSI Las Vegas.

    The best part of it may be that it's part one of a two-part episode, ending on a thrilling cliffhanger making one immediately grab the next episode.

    Small summary of the episode: a seriously injured man is brought in by a ambulance worker (played by Christina Ricci), along with him comes Dr. Bailey in labor and her husband, who crashed in traffic. Ten minutes later, the hospital is evacuated and everyone in the hospital is in danger of their lives....

      In Bailey's first scene, we hear a water splashing sound, and she tells George that her water just broke all over his shoes. Bailey is then shown being helped into a wheel chair, but her jeans are completely dry!
