thanks 4 the stuff ^^
Very close
hehe...
I cant wait... i kinda want to see everyone mad at Izzie for her acting sick xD... just.. that will show they worry so much for her
hehe

Indeed . Any reaction is better than no reaction and avoidance .

Here's the new ABC promo that aired tonight, and boy is it intense .


@ Izzie collapsing. Izzie definitely looks weaker from the last time we saw her. The treatment and cancer is starting to take affect. Our speculation panned out about the bookend attacks . Still lovin' how realistic they are trying to make Izzie look minus the neuro surgery scar lol. Love that we get to see Izzie's POV shot when she is collapsing. It's a camera POV angle I have always been a fan of. Izzie falling on the wedding dress is just...what's the word ....so thematic....it's a word I can't think of right now, but I'm fond of that camera angle too. Even though it's so sad to see , but yet it's an amazingly shot.

A few crappy screencaps lol.....













Glad Cristina is looking after Izzie in this episode. Lovin' their interaction this season .

thanks!!!
I am liking the promo A LOT... can wait
just a week now... time goes by so fast
Izzie def looks weaker... which is pretty sad to see
I am all FIGHT!!! xD fight for ur life! Cuz... well.. i dont want her to die... she can go... but just... dont die!! xD
Loved it that she is actually going to have an attack... its so GA... and i like it Everything should have its ending...
loved the thingy with the camera POV too
aaaa very exciting!! def better season than the last 2
At least Izzie's storylines are great
amm.. though.. it is TV so its not perfect.. there are some very unproductive scenes xD
Love Izzie's interaction with Christina too, very cute, and well... interesting too Shows another side to Christina and Izzie just rocks
lol
thanks 4 the caps!!
and im still debating on that last scene
xD

The outside George and Alex scenes remind me of the on location photos, which I forgot to post , I saw on MySpace a few weeks ago. The poster said a guy falls onto a car roof .

Here are some of the photos, with captions, that I believe are from George and Alex's medical case in this episode:

That has to be George and Alex .

weeeeee thanks!
cool

Definitely . All the storylines, especially Izzie's, are on a far higher, intense scale. Having the storylines, finale, and 100th episode coming up the build-up is pretty solid. Far better build-up to the finale compared to the previous two seasons lol.


Yea, I can't place the last Izzie shot either . The "I'm fine" shot, as we talked about on IM, looks to be right after Izzie's fake-out to get Meredith out of the bathroom lol. The Izzie collapsing shot might be happening at the half-way point of the episode due to the fact it's still daylight. I can't figure out the last Izzie shot at all . Alas, it did make me go awww seeing Cristina so concerned over her .

Yeah the built up has been great!
yeah i know... we will have to wait!
xD
Yeah i am liking that Christina!!!

oohhhhhhhhh my godd!!! what does she have? izzi omg oh my o my she ill? ohohoho ohhhhhhh luz alejandra what is it? i´m die

Izzie has Stage 4 melanoma skin cancer . The cancer has hit her brain (though Derek supposely was able to take everything out of her left temple), liver, and skin.

CTV Promo


Just love the grandfatherly looks Chief is giving Izzie as she plans the wedding. I knew Meredith was going let Izzie plan the wedding to get Izzie's mind off her troubles. Izzie is so Jane a la 27d talking on the phone hehe.

Swender: Izzie Stevens is going to wish she were dead.



Oh, this looks like a good episode .

SHHH SHHH! dont tell her! she doesnt want to know... she is just curious.. but she wants to wait
xD
weeeee cant wait! sounds great
love the Chief...
and God... Swender is so harsh but i think she might be right

Swender definitely knows her stuff . I can understand why Izzie is acting like nothing has changed. I can't blame her there, but after she collapses Izzie will have to realize she can't. Even her energy will be kaput . Good juicy, compelling tv though .

ABC has released all of the sneak peeks now:

Papa Torres hears the truth


Lexie put in the middle


Owen's first session with Dr. Wyatt


Izzie the Wedding Planner


Happy to see Swender showing concern and somewhat of a softer side . Katherine is so cute in this peek ....awww....comedical Izzie . Note Swender said Izzie can have a heart attack .

Katie cuteness in that sneek peek (last one)
Too cute
AAAAA I CANT WAIT!
story is getting great
woo!
Im excited!

I really did like this episode. I thought it was a good start for the last quarter of the season . The things I really enjoyed were:

Izzie a la 27 Dresses - That was funny as hell . Izzie was so funny and yet cruel playing jokes on her friends, and completely milking her cancer to get her friends to do things. I get that humor because I done it lol, but after the last fake-out you just know Izzie will no longer be faking it. Plus being who Izzie is her behavior was covering up her inner fears. I loved Izzie's crying when Derek was trying to talk to her about what MerDer wanted for their wedding lol. Seeing Izzie vomit, wince in pain, walk so slowly because her energy was kaput, and watching her faint. Man, it was sad to see , but I was glad to hear why Izzie was so extreme in that episode. She wanted to be who she was before....before the cancer. It's such an overwhelming thing, but completely understandable. Loved how it went from comedical to dramatic.

I loved how tender and sweet Cristina was with her in their last two scenes together. I loved that once again Cristina was there for Izzie, and understood why she acted the way she did. Just went awww....when Cristina covered her with the blanket and wiped the sweat off Izzie's brow while she had her oxygen mask on (gawd it's hard to see Izzie this way ). I thought Bride Izzie was foreshadowed in this episode.

I was pleased that they showed Izzie first chemo session . To see what one does when they get their chemo. It was really neat how they did the camera work along with the reactions of Alex and Izzie with other fellow cancer patients. I really liked the camera work in this episode especially when Izzie fell down. It was mostly done from Izzie's POV, and it was a treat to see Nurse Tyler again who was treating Izzie. Notice Swender said Izzie can have an heart attack .

Alex vs. George - Finally they have an argument that has been boiling since S3. Both throwing jabs at each other left and right from the patient (i.e. "if he leaves and hurts himself it's on you") to Izzie. Once again Alex doesn't listen to George about a medical situation, and does Alex messes up big time.

Their argument has to be one of my favorite scenes because it full on venting from both sides. They were just angry at each other, but their closure scenes was awesome. When Alex and George at Joe's it is a moment that screams can't the show end on the 5th season lol. Alex told George he kicked ass in general, and that he excels under pressure where he does not. That Izzie is really really sick, and he doesn't excel under pressure. So what does George do? He pushes his beer over to him to symbolize an olive branch. It's not really too trianglely as Ausiello implies, but it show how much these two boys love Izzie. What they do for her because its' clear Izzie loves them both in different ways. Izzie is the reason why they are even talking the way they do in Joe's bar IMO. They know how much Izzie is special to them.

Once again ABC mislead with their episode description. Alex didn't freezie. He was merely overwhelmed by the huge task Owen gave him is all, he simply didn't listen to George, and top that off his concern over Izzie. All in all it was completely in character, and since it was in character Alex had to act like an Alex. He lashes out of George saying that he basically tolerated George for Izzie, but that he was "done with" George and lost respect for him. Alex thy name is hypocrite. However, George pressed Alex's buttons after he pointed fingers at George for losing a suicidal patient who falls out of three story window onto a car . Seeing George finally really fight back, something we haven't seen since S1-S2, was a treat to see watch because I've been dying for this scene to happen for two and a half seasons. George tells Alex he doesn't understand what Hunt nor Izzie sees him. In the end they tolerate each other for Izzie's sake. Something that has been speculated and talked about in many places. So it was nice to see to hear. Izzie is one of the reasons these two boys tolerate each other, and later on bond over drinks.

Father & Daughter Dying Patient - All throughout the episode the tell you the child will die. Even when it happens it kills you. Bailey did an awesome job with this case. She handled herself far better compared to the case with Jackson. The scene that gutted me was seeing the father lay down with his daughter, and talk to her as she had her last breaths. He didn't stop talking after she died, in fact, he kept on going . That fact he kept on going just made it even harder .

Those were the three things that really shot out at me. Other small mentions:
- Sara is sexy when she speaks in Spainsh, and loved the Callie/Mark interaction. Plus it was nice to see them really take Callie's storyline on a more serious tone.
- Owen with Dr. Wyatt at the end.
- It was great seeing Papa Torres again because Hector is such a great actor, and damn he threw both George and Mark to the wall . Eric, TR, and Hector were great in this wall smackdown. Eric has the most funniest smile after Callie is able to calm her father down lol. Callie telling George to run was funny as hell. Great set-up for Mer/Chief's storyline in 5.21 as well.
- I hated hated TR's hair in this episode. What happened to it? It's like he got hit with a weed wacker .

Just wanted to say that Katie did an amazing job in this episode - fantastic performance...and she is brilliant next week too by the way.

Includes George and Alex's last scene, and here are the Izzie snippnets from the Writer's Blog:

This episode was written by a newbie GA writer. Her first episode, and I thought she did a pretty good job at it .

Here are a few Izzie snippnets from the review's I seen thus far....

ABC put a great podcast by the episode's writer Sonay Washington and director Tony Phelan. They talk a quite a bit about Katherine's performance, how realistic she wanted Izzie to look, and some great behind the scene moments with the cast:

I knew I forgot something in my previous post .

ABC released 5 Izzie episode stills from this week's episode today .











It's interesting to see Izzie's collapse scene from another angle .

Yup cool new promo stills.

Love the caps of Katie from the episode. She is doing a wonderful job playing Izzie being sick and it was interesting to hear the podcast folks talking about how she was really into the wedding planning and realistically portraying Izzie as her condition gets worse.

The screencaps were really fun to do this time because Katherine made Izzie so expressive from the comedy to the drama.

Did anyone else laugh when Izzie did? Katherine's laugh is so contagious .







After watching the episode twice I never noticed Cristina's hand on Izzie's shoulder's at the very end of the episode .



This is something we would never have seen in the first three seasons of the show. Man, look how far their friendship has come .

Izzie made EW's TV Highlights of the Week :
