Grey's Anatomy
This episode brought the pain like whoa. Every relationship that seemed solid went belly-up: Christina and Burke, George and Izzie, even Christina and Meredith ("I do jog without you sometimes."). OUCH.

The painful:

Burke and Christina: Oh, this hurt. The problem is that they both did everything wrong, but with the best possible intentions. Burke's volte face with regard to the tremour confuses me: one minute, he's cool as a cucumber and unrepentant, the next moment he wants to confess. At least Christina, for all her flaws, was consistent. What kills me is that she didn't even go to the Chief because she recognized that Burke was wrong; she went because Burke snubbed her. Just once, I'd like to see an intern who isn't Alex do something right for the right reasons.
SHUT UP, Izzie: You're only back in the program on sufferance and conditions of good behaviour. Suck it up, deal with it and do what's asked of you. It was none of her business advising George's parents (which Bailey specifically asked her not to do), and she did. She does get too emotionally attached, and George was right to try and get her to leave.
I hate to say it, but SHUT UP, George. Why, why, why is it that he only ever sacks up and does the right thing when it involves people he cares about? Where was this concern for patient care when Izzie cut Denny's LVAD wire? Good grief.

The great:

Doctor Hahn! She's competent and snarky and very, very cool. And if she came to Seattle Grace, she could pal up with Addison, Bailey and Callie. More Dr. Hahn, please!
Addison and Alex: okay, you know how slashers do it in the subtext? In the subtext, that was porn. Tasty, tasty porn. And there needs to be more of it.
"Dude, she went all cage-fighter on you!" Yes, she did. And it was AWESOME.
Derek and Meredith. Dammit, I wasn't going to find them cute, I really wasn't! But they won me over. "What's a six-letter word for pinnacle?" "...zenith!" Heeheehee! Was I the only one who immediately said "orgasm" in my head? I totally was, wasn't I. *facepalm* I might be a crossword geek, why do you ask?

Ugly Betty 1x09: Lose the Boss:
I have nothing but love for this show. Betty = adorable. Daniel hung over? Priceless. Santos in a kimono? BRING IT! And then the thing at the end? I can't wait to see what happens next.

I desperately need an Ugly Betty icon.
