Sneak Peek #2 (Original Interns & Bailey/Chief)
http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpi...bctid1827922691

@ Izzie. I love Katherine's facial expressions and the way she spoke her lines in these peeks.

The water coming through the elevator is neat , and the elevator scene illustrated the S1-S2 banter between the interns. I still stand by what I said in the general thread about Derek kicking Alex and Izzie out . However, if Alex and Izzie are allowed to stay at Casa Interns, then compromises and some rules have to be made to accomdate everyone that lives there . I wonder if this storyline will be used for humor throughout the episode.

Here's the You Tube link to the second sneak peek:


Man, the Chief is yelling a lot these days. I love that they are using Izzie's clinic to help diffuse the situation.

for the peeks , I wonder what happens to Izzie to make Alex test out her high pain threshold?

It looks as though season 5 is shaping up to be an improvement from last season and going back to its original roots, can't say i was too impressed with season 4.

Good question Love her response though....
And her trying to persuade Meredith with the use of muffins

No prob . I don't know . You think maybe it's an inside joke between Alex and Cristina, and they test it out on Izzie?



I love the muffin quote, and how Katherine says it ....."Eat the muffin, Mer. Taste the muffin. Remember the muffin" . Now I want a muffin lol.

Sneak Peek #3 (George, Alex, Cristina, Meredith, and Lexie)
http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpi...bctid1840775238

Is it me or is the music too loud in this sneak peek? Biased-wise I don't like Lexie being in the group original intern scenes . We have nearly all the original interns there, but Izzie and IDK it just doesn't feel right . It didn't feel right when George wasn't included in S4 since he was resident, and it definitely doesn't feel right now having Lexie there instead of Izzie. It throws the dyamnic completely off for me. Plus I don't think Izzie comes later in that lunch scene either because Alex does the pain test later on Izzie in the elevator. So perhaps Izzie is down in her clinic helping the patients due to the flood.

Sneak Peek #4 (George about to re-take his test)
http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpi...bctid1840775243

At least he didn't break the test seal yet, so he can leave and go to another room to take the test.

Sneak Peek #5 (Callica and Mark)
http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpi...bctid1840781849

The episode was so-so, but you can tell it was setting things up for the season. How they did the flood was decent, and there was a bit of humor when the orderly almost fell from walking/running too fast . I love that Mark is taking his teaching seriously, and listening to the interns around him. I hope they aren't going for a Mark/Lexie hook-up because I rather they stay with a mentor/older brother vibe with those two . Man, I have this feeling the writers are so going to overuse Lexie's photographic memory lol.

A lot of Ausiello's spoilers were right, however; a lot of his spoilers were dead wrong especially on the "odd couple" . It's as if he doesn't watch the show regularly, or he would have known that Callie and Cristina have been living together since early season four . I'm glad Meredith stood her ground, and didn't kick out Izzie and Alex.

It was sad to see Izzie feeling very much alone since Cristina misinterpretated her moving in suggestion to Alex yet again being rude to Izzie(you got that Ausiello spoiler correct Keith ). I would have loved for Izzie and Cristina moved into together since polar opposites characters bring out some interesting scenes. It seems Izzie is the only one that noticed Cristina living in Burke's apartment is hard for her. What I liked about Izzie in this episode she was annoyed with her friends, but also was supportive of them in her own way. On the subject of Alex the writers have to start backing up his lectures to his patients because at this point, as I stated numerous times, I'm really turned off by Alex and Alex/Izzie at this point. He says all these positive things that are self-reflective, but then he becomes a jerk around Izzie . I'm honestly sick and tired of it, and have been for quite some time. So needless to say I'm looking forward to Izzie's yelling match with Alex next week lol. Though it was nice to finally see how much Ava meant to Alex by him acknowleding that she was his girlfriend.

Derek and Richard(which redeemed himself a bit at the end of the episode) were just gawd awful annoying in this episode especially Derek. Cristina was decent and I really enjoyed her scenes with Izzie because it's that polar opposite interaction I love to see Sandra and Katherine act out with each other.

It was nice to see Roswell's Nasedo in the episode . I wonder if Katherine and him chatted on the set about their Roswell days. I was bit annoyed that we didn't see the Gizzie muffin scene from the episode stills. Hopefully we will be able to see it on the S5 dvd has a deleted scene or a Katherine/TR blooper.

Alex & Izzie Scenes

Here's are the Izzie excerpts from the writer's blog:

ETA:

Meredith/Izzie at the end of the episode

I think they do need to get over the Alex being mean to Izzie thing pretty soon...I mean...this is the fifth season you would hope he could at least manage not to treat her like crap by now. I am amazed she didnt give up on him a long time ago, yet somehow she keeps coming back.

Interesting that Jim Ortlieb (Nasedo) was in the episode (I've not seen it yet). Did they share any scenes?

ITA . It's somewhat hard to watch those patient scenes because they are basically meaningless since Alex doesn't back up what he says. Those Alex patient scenes are very much about Izzie, and he gives her(not knowing in this episode) these adoring looks. If Alex treated Izzie nicer, then I would be fonder of those things. Just that they basically mean nothing because he's still acting like a jerk, and him saying "hello" doesn't make for it . Those scenes worked well the first couple of seasons, but as you pointed out we are in the 5th season now. It's time to get pass this phase.


Hmmm..my brain is pretty fried right now, but I can recall one scene where Jim and Katherine were in the same room together . Jim's character was moved to Izzie's clinic due to the flooding. While she was taking care of patients in her clinic across the room was Alex talking to Jim's character about finding hope -- something to live for. While Alex is talking to Jim he looks over at Izzie who is with a patient and laughing with them(Katherine looked so adorable in this shot) as symbolism that Izzie is Alex's "hope" -- Izzie is Alex's reason for living per se. That's the only scene I remember Jim and Katherine being in the same place.

Cristina/Izzie scenes


I really wanted them to move in together lol. Love Izzie's purple top.

It certainly would have been interesting! Katherine was excellent (as ever) in that scene...the way she goes from all beaming and happy to shocked and annoyed when she realises the misunderstanding. Love it.

ITA . It's one of reasons I enjoyed that scene because Katherine did a great job at showing a range of emotion for Izzie's character. Sandra, Katherine, and Sara did a great job at the underlying humor of that scene, and Katherine also had to express the vulerability(sp?) of Izzie's character. I love scenes like that because it's a roller coaster ride of emotion, and Katherine is just perfect at it.

Katherine looked so beautiful last night. Here's a brief screencap batch to look at .

Nice caps Very pretty. She played the scene on the swing chair so well.

Yea, she did . I loved how the porch scene began by having Izzie do a child-like mannerism of swinging in the porch swing. It was so adoreable and a bit sad because it emphasized the melancholy(IDK if that's the word for it) Izzie was going through. I wonder if it was the director or Katherine's idea to do the swinging.

I'm de-topping this thread to make way for the next episode thread.
