Catching up on GA -- I have to say, that as ever, I love Bailey. I feel like she is the most consistent of characters, without being static. And the young Bailey? So filled with awesome.
JAR was almost unrecognizable due to the bad wig.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Why do I always do the kitchen last, when it is the room I am going to need to use as soon as I am done?
Next up: make dinner, make lunch, get together Mister Kitty's stuff for tomorrow, dye hair.

Also, I really love how this episode has shown the history and background of Richard. In many ways, he's the thread that ties the whole thing together. It's really pretty cool. And from watching him with Bailey and then with Callie you get a clear sense of how much of a teacher he really is.
Going into the ep, I had no idea how Richard centric this episode really was. Interesting.
In previous seasons, lots of stuff got lost, but this year? I'm back to really liking the show which is nice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't point to precise examples, but I think they messed up Bailey for a while there. I feel that they have been most consistent with Cristina.
The wig on JAR was ridiculously bad. The one on daddy Grey was pretty awful too.
The show's not as simultaneously funny and heartbreaking as it used to be, but it's improved a lot since the depths of the Denny/Gizzy suck and gotten back on track.

I guess I think that with Cristina, once Burke left she was almost non existant on the show. It is consistent, though, because her character was lost. Bailey? I think was similar. When they focused on Izzy/George (horrible idea) and then again with fucked up Mirage!Denny, they really lost their way as a show.
I'm intrigued that we are seeing McDreamy stuff that has nothing to do with Meredith.

Empanada report: I have no clue. There are green beans and spices and corn and broccoli and cheese. It's tasty!

I think I feel where they lost Bailey was her reaction to the Izzy insanities.

liese, where are you?!?!?!?
Oh MAN. 41 seconds in and the US scores. This is going to be that game, isn't it. I think I won't watch after all.

Izzy insanities.
which ones? the cutting the L-Vad wire (which was very Not Bailey, I agree) or the brain tumor nonsense?

Mostly the L-VAD wire. Not very Nazi at all.
