Grey's Anatomy

cuervo72 · 02-05-2006, 10:07 PM

Ok, this isn't really about the show as much as the opening sequence (which I caught before changing over to ESPN), where one of the docs has a dream about three of the female docs in the shower.

Sandra Oh (thanks, IMDB)...I'm not seeing it, in fact she seems rather..."harsh" looking to me. I thought this seeing her in commercials, and bits I saw of her in Dancing at the Blue Iguana. Am I alone in missing something here?

Tasan · 02-05-2006, 10:17 PM

Just to treadjack, what was the whole 'code black' thing anyway? I never watch that show, and I don't have a doctor handy to answer it, although I doubt a real doc could anyway.

I commented the same thing to my wife (for whom I recorded the show). The other two ladies I could see a guy fantasize about, but her, hmm, nope...

As one already said about another actress, she looks like she ran the 110 meter dash sprint in a 100 meter long room (or something to that effect)

I didn't watch the show, and I never have. However, I've never heard of a code black. I've heard of respiratory arrest being called code blue by a hospital. I've heard of Code Red. I've never worked at a hospital that called a code black.

WALT?!!! THEY TOOK MY SON!!!!

Hmmm...a doctor who swears he's never heard of a Code Black. WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Eaglesfan27 · 02-05-2006, 10:24 PM

Baby napping has been called Code Pink at every hospital I've worked at (despite the sex of the baby.)

I think there's a porno set in a hospital by that name...

Code Black is apparently used by some hospitals for either a bomb threat or other extremely hazardous situations.

My wife is watching the show and said some guy has an explosive (like a live bazooka shell) in his body.

PackerFanatic · 02-05-2006, 10:37 PM

Yeah, it was actually a pretty good episode. I used to watch ER a lot and it reminds of that a little bit.

The dude shot himself with a bazooka and that is what the code black was about because it hadn't gone off yet.

That makes sense. I've unfortunately been involved with a code blue, a code red, and even a code pink. I've fortunately never been involved with a bomb threat or other similar situation.

Code Black at UNC Med Center is a power outage.

Yeah... how was that not in the previews during the Super Bowl? I would guess that a scene like that would retain more Super Bowl viewers than the Code Black curiousity.

BrianD · 02-05-2006, 10:59 PM

This was another very good episode of a very good show. I just wish it had ended rather than being continued next week.

Google is your friend. I had to look it up last week at my wife's insistence after the preview.

ThunderingHERD · 02-05-2006, 11:33 PM

Back to the topic: I didn't see the episode as I was asleep, but Sandra Oh is ugly as hell. And, from the few times I've seen Grey's Anatomy, her character is extremely annoying.

Caused by a guy shooting himself with a bazooka?

Her character is very well played, I think. She is a perfect Type-A surgeon.

rkmsuf · 02-06-2006, 08:12 AM

Fuck you Grey's Anatomy. After all those freaking commercials I refuse to ever watch this piece of shit.

Drake · 02-06-2006, 08:19 AM

When I worked in mental health, at the Center I worked at, Code Black was a client with a gun/explosive device.

Honolulu_Blue · 02-06-2006, 08:38 AM

This was the first time I have ever seen this show. While it's tough to judge a show on the strength/weakness of one episode, the show did nothing for me. The main characters (the medical students) seemed completely self-involved and irritating. The music and attemps at humor seemed off too. They had the goofy, something is up music going on while the red headed doctor and the pudgy dude were lying to the pregnant lady while her husband was upstairs in the midst of brian surgery. That seemed off. You had that and the whole "Code Black" thing going on and all the med students could think of was "How does this effect me?"

Drama and comedy can mix well, this just seemed clumsy to me. I was also put off by how many of the actors on that show are "poor man's" versions of better known actors. It was odd.

I will have to read how the whole "Code Black" thing turns out. I wont be watching again.

Wolfpack · 02-06-2006, 09:57 AM

Well, given that the show's called "Gray's Anatomy", the lead character is Dr. Gray, and ABC likes the ratings it's getting, I'll go out on a limb and say that everybody central to the show's cast lives.

I'm not really sure how you can say that considering when they evacuated the hospital, they were the only people who stayed - that isn't very self centered behavior. Also - George and Addison didn't tell Bailey about her husband right away b/c she was in labor and the stress could have harmed the baby. And at the end, Meredith stuck her hand in to hold the bomb/explosive without even thinking of herself and then when she realized what she had done said "what did I do?"

I have no problem if you didn't like the show, but I just don't see that your reasons stand up...

Good assesment. I found the same thing after the first couple of episodes. I didn't like the characters, the story lines were transparent, and Sandra Oh is just unwatchable.

My reasons stand up just fine.

The self-centered behavior I was referring to was the whole conversation two of the characters had about being "Doers" or whatever. There is a bomb threat upstairs and their doctor's husband is in the midst of brain surgery and they are sitting there pissing and moaning about how they aren't "doers". Then one all of a sudden decides it's the perfect time for a romp in the janitors closet. Ooookaaayy...

I understand why they didn't tell the doctor about her husband. I have no problem with that. The problem I had with that scene, if you recall, was the music being played. It was the playful "We're up to something funny!" music, which I found quite bizarre given the circumstances surrounding their attempted obfuscation. It just didn't fit.

Then you had Grey and the Asian woman arguing about something in the hallway and the bomb squad guy interupts them and they have a funny little "what the hell's his problem?" muttering right afterward. Maybe that's very much in character, but again it just didn't seem to fit given the scene. I loves me some sass. I loves me a lot of sass, but not even the sassiest person is sassy all of the time.

KWhit · 02-06-2006, 01:16 PM

I think the show is horrible (my wife loves it, of course) and agree that Sandra Oh is fugly.

Celeval · 02-06-2006, 02:51 PM

I think the common thread in Code Blacks is that the hospital can't take new patients in (bomb threat, power outage, etc).

Karlifornia · 02-06-2006, 05:29 PM

It's just another chick show....like Desperate Housewives...No go for me.

PilotMan · 02-12-2006, 10:00 PM

I have to say that I largely thanks to my wife, I really enjoy this show, and tonight's episode was no different.
