I thought that was one of the most amazing shows I've ever watched. I loved the scenes where the chief was trying to get each of the interns to tell and each of them had his or her own isses that were all conencted and not connected to Denny. I loved how utterly human and fallible they all were. I loved that the chief had no idea that he was, too -- and what it had taken for his wife to stay with him. I loved Derek's speech to Meredith before . . . .
Yes, it was wonderful. The Denny death really was too close to home for me: It reminded me of my father. He had heart surgery (not a transplant; a valve replacement), and after it was over we were all so relieved. He made it! Then, two weeks later, he died of a stroke. But the thing is, like Denny, he was happy. He thought he had his life ahead of him, and he was happy when he died. Do you read greyswriters.com? Shonda Rhimes talks about Denny's death.
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

So what did you think?? I thought Izzy was so over the top.

I don't watch it but obviously I need to start.
