This discussion was created from comments split from: Anyone watch The Good Wife tonight?.
<p>Loved Delia Ephron’s column, sorry I missed it as I was out of town on a business trip this week. I was pretty shocked that Will made his exit from the show, one of my favorite shows but I had to admit that his story lines hadn’t been all that interesting this season to me despite Alicia’s move to the new firm and the bitterness over the clients. I think that this will open up even more good plot lines for Diane, who is one of my all-time favorite characters. I don’t see Alicia moving closer to Peter because of this, if anything she will deal with more questioning over the direction her life went or might have gone. I am a huge Juliana Margolies fan… and I loved her in ER and anything to do with ER. Speaking of continuing series, I am about to make my tea and settle in for Gray’s Anatomy and Scandal. Sometimes I feel that I am the only person in America still watching Gray’s…anyone else out there?</p>
<p>I’m still watching Gray’s! I think it has gotten better again. My husband has bailed on it, though.</p>
<p>I also watch it. I thought tonight’s episode was pretty random.</p>
<p>I watch Grays, but had a hard time following last nights episode.</p>
<p>I still watch Grey’s too. I think last night’s episode was a set-up for Sandra Oh’s departure, having her question what would come of her staying in Seattle. Neither outcome was good.</p>
<p>i love sandra oh, and didn’t think about her leaving after being show-cased last nite. It makes sense, but I would miss her–my favorite character on the show.</p>
<p>Still love Grey’s and hated last night’s episode. It’s cool that her former love-interest will be coming back for her exit. I will miss her character tho!</p>
<p>Back to GW, I just can’t stand Peter. I want her to escape whatever bizarre need bonds her to him, but I guess that would ruin the title of the show.</p>
<p>So I had Grey’s on but was on the phone so I only had low volume and didn’t catch what was happening… I guess alternate scenarios so that Sandra Oh’s character can make her move to leave the show but didn’t seem to make much sense…she is also pretty much my favorite character on Grey’s. My husband makes fun of me for continuing to watch… but we all have our moments. </p>
<p>Agreed that last night’s Grey’s episode was “random.” I feel this entire season of Grey’s is driftless, unlike the absolute brilliance of The Good Wife. </p>
<p>I still watch Grey’s and Sandra Oh is my favorite, too, well, I mean, besides Kevin McKidd.</p>
<p>Just watched this week’s Gray’s episode on Hulu. I thought it was great - clearly Sandra Oh is having an epiphany that will result in her moving on. I love the Christina character and will miss her. They need to bring in some compelling characters to keep it going.</p>
<p>Re Grays, I just thought it was crazy how they woke that guy up and told him to decide right then if he wanted to be unplugged when he had no way of asking questions or even adjusting for five minutes to his circumstance. </p>
<p>In addition to Sandra Oh, Gaius Charles and Tessa Ferrer are also leaving. And apparently Isaiah Washington is coming back!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh totally…you really have to suspend disbelief. Like in the dream sequence how they put him in the futuristic suit and had him walk for the first time in years without any support.</p>
<p>They’ve got general surgeons telling people about their chemotherapy, orthopaedic surgeon doing vascular surgery - it’s ridiculous from an standpoint of reality.</p>
<p>My aunt is a nurse and can’t watch grey’s. My mom is a court transcriptionist and REALLY, REALLY, REALLY canNOT watch ANY court shows, ever. </p>
<p>I thought I was the only one still watching! Good to know there are others.</p>
<p>I’ve stopped watching Grey’s two or three times. I get really upset when they do a season finale that is ten times more graphic and disturbing than the series usually is. I stopped watching for several years after the shooter episode. Eventually I started watching again and got caught up, but I got partway through the plane crash episode before deciding to turn it off and then I didn’t watch the next season. Now I am all caught up again, but I never went back to watch the end of the plane crash episode.</p>
<p>I hate episodes like this one, or with dream sequences, when nothing actually happens. I get what the point was and that it added to the story, but I was bored, and I’m always bored by these kinds of episodes. I am sad that Cristina is leaving, but I do think the show is becoming less interesting so they need to shake things up somehow. I hope they find a way to fill her void that really brings something to the table. I do find it difficult to suspend my disbelief enough for this whole no relationships policy schtick they’re doing now-- I was willing to ignore how unrealistic it is that everybody is sleeping with everybody else and this has never been an issue before, but now that they are calling my attention to it I have to roll my eyes. I am glad it was only the focal point of one episode.</p>
<p>I am really pretty ridiculously forgiving of TV shows but this one is just not anywhere near as much fun as it used to be, but I have hope that it can pick up. I loved the April and Avery storyline. I was so sad they broke up in the first place, they so clearly loved each other and they just said the wrong things to each other and walked away without giving each other a chance. I’m glad it didn’t end there, but I wonder if this now means there is nothing left t be excited about in that story. What will they do next?</p>
<p>Me, too. I hate dream sequences and excessive flash backs, what ifs, where nothing really happens. NCIS had an episode like that, too. I feel they are wasting a show. We don’t need to be prepared for Christina’s leave. I watch the show for couple’s dynamics. Christina’s with Kevin McKidd is dysfunctional and yet she keeps coming back. I liked his relationship with the other woman, was it Amy?</p>
<p>I watch Grey’s. I guess I am in the minority that I found the last episode quite riveting. Sandra Oh is wonderful in the show, and it is hard to imagine it without Christina.</p>
<p>I wonder if a factor in this is that I watch in via streaming after the fact, with no commercial interruptions? </p>
<p>One of the things I like about Grey’s is that they let couples actually get together and then live life, working on the relationship, rather than remaining in an endless tease state. </p>
<p>I love April and Avery, BTW. So happy that they got together. </p>
