• I haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy since Meredith went off the dock and the recaps on this site had more than a near-death experience. Apparently Katherine Heigl also wants off that ship. NY Mag speculates on how they should kill her off. [vulture]

Hello, and welcome to Grey’s Anatomy [abc] ripped from the headlines and made much more horrific! After the jump, a recap of part one (of several) about what happens when a Washington State Ferry and a Cargo Ship meet in a “fog bank”.

• Breaking the editorial we to tell you how they feel about DRM [seattlest]
• Please let this gossip be proven incorrect: rumors have surfaced about dead character Denny “Tin Man” Duquette will be returning from the grave on Grey’s Anatomy. [popwatch]
• Jen Graves, on SuttonBeresCuller, their impersonators, and what it all means about Seattle’s art scene / “art” scene / art “scene” [slog]
• Of the 204 local responses to Capitol Hill Seattle’s mock viaduct advisory vote, 1% said yes(tunnel)–yes(viaduct); 47%, yes–no; 18% no–yes; 33% no–no. For all of the worries about web surveys being biased and non-representational, these numbers look fairly similar to last year’s [mb,mb] professional polls . [chs]
• courtroom drama! Watada trial ends, not with a verdict, but with a mistrial in the wake of misspecified stipulations. [p-i]

In last week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy [abc], officially named after a Belle & Sebastian song, Seattle Grace Hospital gets a visit from a dehydrated runner and an escaped Amish. George deals with his dad’s death, the senior doctors scramble upon hearing rumors of the Chief’s retirement, and Bailey has a dream. All of this in the unsurprisingly delayed recap. After the jump.

The conclusion of last week’s Grey’s Anatomy [abc] episode, in which our favorite interns {as if we have a choice} from Seattle Grace Hospital deal with the aftermath of the O’Malley surgery, the constant presence of Mr. Katimsky / Grey in the nursery, ongoing silent treatments, near kisses, and important milestones. All of this to the tune of indie songwriters on the soundtrack, after the jump.

After a lengthy hiatus (the last new episode aired back in 2006), everyone’s favorite interns are back at work. And it’s almost like no time has passed: After the jump, catch up on George’s dad finally getting that cancer surgery, Meredith and Derek actually dating, Addison and Alex flirting, and Izzy’s ongoing struggle with her candy-striper status.

Another week, another Grey’s Anatomy [abc] recap. After the jump, catch up on the aftermath of Sandra Oh & Chief Wannabe #2’s deception, a brand new set of conjoined twins, and more family drama of the O’Malley (and Grey, too) variety.

Hi! I’m back prematurely, but not to worry, the recapping duty (heh-heh, I said, “duty.”) will be back upon Josh’s shoulders soon. In the meantime, please turn a blind eye to CRo’s drunken snark that follows. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing. I mean, if you do, you have Anna from the Swell to thank since she makes a rockin’ Manhattan. But I babble (I’m prone to that). Full recap after the jump.

Love,
CRo

Josh and I had a slapfight at the meet-up this Thursday to see who would recap that night’s show.

No, not really. If that really happened, he would have won and I wouldn’t be doing this now, would I? I’m serious, he could totally take me. I really don’t have any slap fight skills or any other fighting-type skills. I’m more of a laminiator, not a fighter. In any case, I was really at the meet-up and thus missed the original airing, but did you know they re-run the episode on Friday nights? Or at least they did last night, which was nice of ABC to do for me. Thanks! But I’m rambling. What you’re really after, the full recap, is after the jump. Enjoy!
