Heres when Greys Anatomy, NCIS, Law & Order: SVU return, plus more TV highlights (The Crown, Shame – OregonLive

Posted on by

When everyone seems to be fighting, yelling at each other, and the future is uncertain, the idea of settling in to watch new episodes of familiar TV shows sounds like the entertainment equivalent of putting on your most comfy pajamas and snuggling up in a blanket.

Like everything else, TV schedules have been impacted by the coronavirus, as filming was forced to stop in the spring. That meant that, instead of a wave of returning series coming back to our screens in September and early October, season premieres were delayed because of the slow pace involved in getting shows back into production, and steps required for safety protocols.

Returns and premieres of new shows have generally been more staggered than usual, as some series were able to film before others. But, after several weeks of space-filling fare, including repurposed series from cable (L.A.'s Finest), streaming (Star Trek: Discovery) and imports (Transplant), the networks are finally bringing back some viewer favorites, along with intriguing new offerings.

For those of us lucky enough to be safe and able to work from home, November and December are bringing back TV meat and potatoes fare, along with some more gourmet items. Here are some of the most anticipated, and most promising, shows coming to our screens in the final months of this difficult year.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: The Heartbreaking Episode That Hits Almost Too Close to Home in 2020 – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted on by

The medical drama Greys Anatomy has often been criticized for having an unrealistic portrayal of the medical work that goes on in a hospital.

While the show does demonstrate that the writers research the medical conditions and treatments that appear in each episode, things are often exaggerated to increase the level of drama on the show.

That being said, the character dynamics and emotions expressed on the show are intricate and very human, and when the writers are able to weave together an interesting medical plot with expert characterization and plot crafting, fans and critics alike are eager to dissect and share their responses to the show.

Sometimes, episodes of Greys Anatomy really resonate with something going on in the real world. Greys Anatomy has tackled subjects like abortion, police brutality, and sexual assault.

But in 2020, theres one episode of Greys Anatomy that is especially resonant. So what episode are fans pointing to as especially relevant in 2020? And what makes it hit so close to home?

The show Greys Anatomy is one of the longest running dramas on TV. It centers around the medical staff of a Seattle hospital, their work, and their interpersonal relationships.

The writing of the show has been praised by fans and critics alike, and the show has earned several awards. Its also had an impact on other TV shows and fan culture, from jokes that have spread out from the Greys Anatomy fandom to montage styles that have been copied by other shows. Its clear: the production team of Greys Anatomy created a veritable phenomenon.

And since Greys Anatomy is so huge, it therefore has a thriving fan community. On forum sites like Reddit and fanfiction sites like Archive of Our Own, theGreys Anatomyfandom shares much discussion and transformative work based on this show.

RELATED: Greys Anatomy: 1 of Aprils Best Scenes Was Also 1 of the Most Tragic

In a Reddit on the Greys Anatomy subreddit, fans discussed the season six episode The Time Warp, and how resonant it is in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The episode is structured around various flashbacks that the main characters are having about how they began their medical careers. One physician reminisces about treating a patient with AIDS in the early 1980s, and the fear and uncertainty that came around treating a patient with HIV before much was known about the condition.

Because HIV/AIDS was still relatively uncommon in 1982 and under-researched, the show portrays the doctors as being extremely cautious about contact with the patient for fear to contracting the disease.

One reddit user pointed out there are parallels between the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and the COVID-19 pandemic today, and that this episode reminded them of this:

I have older nurse friends who say the Covid-PPE in ICUs reminds them of the AIDS-PPE they used in the 80s & 90s. Its been heartbreaking to know of Covid patients dying alone in isolation rooms with no skin-to-skin hand-holding or physical contact in their last moments, suffering the same fate as early AIDS patients. The AIDS crisis changed the way we viewed hospice, perhaps the Covid crisis will change the way we handle isolation and infection control.

This isnt the only way that Greys Anatomy has been relevant in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though the show had to stop filming due to the pandemic, it will likely discuss the pandemic in the upcoming season.

But on top of that, Greys Anatomy, along with a few other popular medical dramas, donated large amounts of PPE to hospitals in need. Because things like N95 masks are used as props, the show had enough that hadnt been used that they were able to donate.

Beyond tackling societal issues in fiction, then, Greys Anatomy became a part of the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anatomy of the ‘Hit Machine,’ the greatest duo Emraan Hashmi and KK – The Indian Wire

Posted on by

Forgive me if Im wrong, as I am expressing myself on the behalf of an entire generation of people who grew up listening to Emraan Hashmi songs, most of them which were sung by KK. I am writing it down assuming that almost all of us have these same memories relating to these songs of this hit duo.

Back when we were kids and we never intentionally heard or searched for these songs, these tunes just submerged into our ears directly via radios at a school canteen or maybe your elder siblings/ cousins listening to them on TV. The tunes were so catchy that it probably got sucked by our unconscious minds. A time when movies and songs meant nothing to us, we were either playing all the time and partially studying.

As time passed further, we were enjoying our last couple of years in school. Sharing Games and Music via Blank CDs or Bluetooth Transfers. The attraction might be the first of all the feelings that we experienced, and it was that stage in our life. From animated channels we had shifted to music channels, the music we heard back then was now on the recall path.

Many of these songs from Emraans films were a part of Bluetooth transfers as we used our dads handsets. Being occupied with school, sports, tuitions, etc. the days passed by, these songs became a part of our life. As we were in the midst of understanding this term attraction which we never really understood and didnt even need to. Yet we enjoyed those new feelings in a way through these songs Zara Si, Soniyean endless list.

Now as of today, these songs might act as a highlight to all the memories and the tons of stories you were a part of. A time which might have been different for all of us, our stories and memories might differ but in a way, they are connected through some of these beautiful elements of various mediums.the Beetein Lamhein

Check Out the Dramatic Newly Released Crossover Trailer for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Station 19’ – AmoMama

Posted on by

A new shocking and jaw-dropping teaser has been released for the much-anticipated premiere of the "Grey's Anatomy" and "Station 19" crossover, which is set to hit the screens on November 12.

With just three weeks before fans of the beloved ABC dramas "Grey's Anatomy" and "Station 19" get to see the three-hour crossover premiere event, the network has released a captivatingteaser to whet fans' appetites.

In the 30 seconds promo clip, fans get to have a look at what to expect as the doctors and firefighters respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which would be explored. It began with a scene of Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo in complete personal protective equipment, which includes a face shield.

Looking stressed and desperate, Grey stands in the middle of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital with her together as if offering a prayer while she says, "sometimes we all need saving." It followed by a dramatic frame of Miranda Bailey, played by Chandra Wilson, looking through the glass and asking for a miraculous intervention.

Scenes from "Station 19" then come into play before there is an alternation between both shows. It is, however, the ending of the teaser that is the highlight of the promo as the background voice assures viewers that the premier would leave everyone shocked and saying, "Oh my god."

Season 17 of the medical series was first teased last month when Pompeo shared a photo of the crew on the first day on set after returning following the halt the pandemic brought to productions.

Before the image, Pompeo's co-star Giacomo Gianniotti confirmed that the new season would take off a bit farther from where things stopped in the previous season.

Its firefighter spin-off is set to return for its fourth season and explore the shocking revelation that Andy's mother, Elena, is not dead but alive. The show explores the lives and careers of the firefighters at the Seattle Fire Station 19, which is about three blocks away from Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

"Station 19" is the second spin-off of the award-winning "Grey's Anatomy," with the first being "Private Practice." The crossover would see Ben Warren, played by Jason George, and Andy Herrera, by Jaina Lee Ortiz, visit the hospital after a rescue mission that saved two boys from a house fire.

They take the boys for surgery and Warren who is a doctor turned firefighter is tasked with the decision to help out while Herrerra's hand remains in the victim's abdomen to stop him from bleeding.

Both shows premiere on November 12 with "Station 19" taking the lead at 8 pm and "Grey's Anatomy" coming in shortly by 9 pm. Other ABC shows set to premiere next month include "Good Doctor" on November 2, "Big Sky," on November 17, followed by "For Life" on November 18.

Grey’s Anatomy: Meredith’s Transformation Over The Years (In Pictures) – Screen Rant

Posted on by

Grey's Anatomy fans have watched Meredith's struggles and triumphs for so long, they may not realize just how much she has changed.

Meredith Grey from the hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy has become one of the most iconic television characters for over a decade and a half.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy 5 Most Likable Characters (& 5 Fans Can't Stand)

Grey's has had an overwhelming spate of ups and downs throughout its run, but it was its central character Meredithwho changed the most over the course of the series. Having started out as a slightly superficial young woman, she went on to become a powerhouse of strength and a brilliant surgeon.

Meredith was first introduced as an attractive young woman just starting out as an intern at Seattle Grace Teaching Hospital. She was a bit green and lost and wasn't entirely sure she had made the right decision with regard to her profession.

She was also a tad whiny, and very selective about the kind of roommates she wanted, being rather obstinate, even to the point of being annoying. She was clearly smitten with McDreamy and had every right to be angry when she found out about his wife, Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, but she lacked the gravityat the time to deal with it more maturely.

Meredith got together with Derek Shepherd and continued to make small strides in her career as she went from being a surgical intern to a resident at the hospital. Her attachmentwith Cristina gradually grewstrongergoing on to become something of a legendary friendship on popular television.

Meredith overcomesher mother's death at this time and settles into her life as a budding surgeon and as the impressive neurosurgeon's girlfriend.

In season 5, Meredith takes a big step when she decides to marry Derek, and true to their style, the two write their marriage vows down on a post-it. The unpretentious wedding speaks to the couple's modest philosophy of life, in spite of Derek being quite well-off himself.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy: 5 Times Meredith And Derek Were The Perfect Couple (& 5 Times They Weren't)

Fans might remember that season 6 ended with Derek being shot and operated on, at gunpoint, by Cristina Yang. Meredith had a major trauma at the time as she saw her husband being almost killed and lost her baby at the same time. In hindsight, this might have been the season she grew up in.

In seasons 7 and 8, Meredith made some crucial choices in her life, when she decided to risk her career and reputation as well as that of Derek's by disrupting the Alzheimer's trial. However, debatable as the step was, it came from a place of deep loyalty and fondness for Richard, the only father figure in Meredith's life.

Meredith and Derek also decided to adopt baby Zola, which was a huge step for them both. This was the time that Meredith went on to take on bigger responsibilities,

Season 8 had ended with the devastating plane crash that caused the death of Meredith's young sister Lexie and Dr. Mark Sloan.

The disaster was one of the biggest tragedies Meredith had seen in her life and she had seen more than her fair share. She pulled it together slowly and managed to turn her life around after the incident, becoming one of the owners of Seattle Grace which then went on to be known as Grey Sloan Memorial, in honor of those who had died in the tragedy. She also had her first baby in this season in complete darkness and managed to pull through despite having a complicated birth.

The tragedy of season 9 had made Meredith stronger somehow and with a heavy heart, she managed to let Cristina go when the latter decided to take a prestigious job in Switzerland.

It would have taken a lot of strength for Meredith to come to terms with losing her best friend, her 'person' who had been by her side through thick and thin.

Season 11 was the most devastating to date for Meredith Grey. Not only did she start having difficulties in her marriage with Derek, and take the decision to stay back in Seattle where she had her own life and career, she lost Derekafter he died in a car accident.

Another episode in her life when Meredith found herself all alone, in spite of having friends who looked out for her, the widowed mother of two gave birth to Derek's posthumousbaby alone. Time stopped for her until she had found the motivation to come back to her old life. With that one incident, Meredith grew a few years in age and maturity.

Meredith went on to struggle with life, now as a single mother of three. She also showed extraordinary power when she was able to forgive the woman, Penny, whom she held somewhat responsible for mishandling her husband's treatment.

She threw herself into work, now one of the most reliable and topsurgeons in the hospital. Every trauma from her past had made her stronger and more mature in life and as a person.

Meredith went on to win the prestigious Harper Avery award, an award her mother Ellis Grey had won twice.

Meredith also tried to move on after Derek's death, finally allowing herself to date other men, whether the dashing new surgeon Nathan Riggs or the handsome new surgical intern Andrew DeLuca.

By season 15 and 16, Meredith has had some of the most amazing surgeries to her credit and had probably saved more lives than she could remember.

Her years of hard work were also validated when all her past patients came to speak up on her behalf during the trial to reinstate her medical license in season 16. Meredith grew steadily more strong and independent over the years, although she still retained her impulsive behavior, when she decided to commit insurance fraud to make life easier for one of her patients, leading to her license being revoked in the first place.

Modelling the Anatomical Distribution of Neurological Events in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review – DocWire News

Posted on by

This article was originally published here

medRxiv. 2020 Oct 23:2020.10.21.20215640. doi: 10.1101/2020.10.21.20215640. Preprint.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Neuropathology caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported across several studies. The characterisation of the spatial distribution of these pathology remains critical to assess long and short-term neurological sequelae of COVID-19. To this end, Mathematical models can be used to characterise the location and aetiologies underlying COVID-19-related neuropathology.

METHOD: We performed a systematic review of the literature to quantify the locations of small neurological events identified with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) among COVID-19 patients. Neurological events were localised into the Desikan-Killiany grey and white matter atlases. A mathematical network diffusion model was then used to test whether the spatial distribution of neurological events could be explained via a linear spread through the structural connectome of the brain.

FINDINGS: We identified 35 articles consisting of 123 patients that assessed the spatial distribution of small neurological events among COVID-19 patients. Of these, 91 patients had grey matter changes, 95 patients had white matter changes and 72 patients had confirmed cerebral microbleeds. White matter events were observed within 14 of 42 white matter bundles from the IIT atlas. The highest proportions (26%) of events were observed within the bilateral corticospinal tracts. The splenium and middle of the corpus callosum were affected in 14% and 9% of the cases respectively. Grey matter events were spatially distributed in the 41 brain regions within the Desikan-Killiany atlas. The highest proportions (10%) of the events were observed in areas including the bilateral superior temporal, precentral, and lateral occipital cortices. Sub-cortical events were most frequently identified in the Pallidum. The application of a mathematical network diffusion model suggested that the spatial pattern of the small neurological events in COVID-19 can be modelled with a linear diffusion of spread from epicentres in the bilateral cerebellum and basal ganglia (Pearsons r =0.41, p <0.001, corrected).

INTERPRETATION: To our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically characterise the spatial distribution of small neurological events in COVID-19 patients and test whether the spatial distribution of these events can be explained by a linear diffusion spread model. The location of neurological events is consistent with commonly identified neurological symptoms including alterations in conscious state among COVID-19 patients that require brain imaging. Given the prevalence and severity of these manifestations, clinicians should carefully monitor neurological symptoms within COVID-19 patients and their potential long-term sequelae .

Grey’s Anatomy star responds to rumours on show’s future – digitalspy.com

Posted on by

Grey's Anatomy star Kevin McKidd has responded to rumours about the show's future.

Recent years have seen heavy speculation that the popular medical drama may be coming to an end if leading star Ellen Pompeo decides to leave her role as Dr Meredith Grey. It is currently on its 17th season.

McKidd, who has played Dr Owen Hunt since 2008, was asked by Digital Spy over his thoughts on the rumours and whether he feels the show still has plenty of life left in it.

"My gut tells me that this isn't our last season," he said.

Sign up to Disney+

"I don't know why, I don't know what it's based on. I hope it isn't, because at this point, I'm a first-generation immigrant to America. So this has become my second family all these people in this crew and in this cast. So I'd just miss everybody if it was over.

"And I still feel as though we have relevant stories to tell. I feel as though we went through kind of a lull and a dip a few years ago. I think we're kind of on this incredible upswing. It's a testament to Krista Vernoff and all the writers.

"I feel as though we have stories to tell, so that's where I'm at with it. I don't really listen to the speculation, because all of it is beyond my control anyway. But I hope [it isn't the last season]. I'm definitely game to keep going."

Last October, Pompeo whose current contract runs out at the end of the season offered an update saying that nothing has been decided yet.

"I don't take the decision lightly," she said. "We employ a lot of people, and we have a huge platform. And I'm very grateful for it."

Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-15 will be available to stream on Disney+ via Star on Tuesday, February 23.

Greys Anatomy Producer Reveals Season 17 Could Have Ended Differently for Meredith After COVID Battle – Us Weekly

Posted on by

Thats a wrap. Season 17 of Greys Anatomy was anything but uneventful, and when it comes to Meredith Greys dramatic story line, things could have ended pretty differently.

The ABC shows season finale aired on Thursday, June 3, closing out a whirlwind journey as Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) healed from her lengthy coronavirus battle. In the last moments of the episode, Meredith walks out of a successful transplant surgery and declares in a voiceover, Im still alive.

Executive producer Meg Marinis, who cowrote the final episode, revealed that the ending fans watched wasnt the original one the team had in mind.

We initially wrote Merediths clap-out to be when she was discharged from the hospital, in Episode 1715, Marinis told Deadline in an interview published Thursday night. But we quickly realized that moment seemed like the end of the season, so we came up with the brilliant idea of Meredith escaping her own clap-out, which felt very Meredith Grey to us.

Earlier on in the season, Meredith didnt receive the traditional round of applause for cured patients after her months-long battle with COVID-19 was over. Instead, she was given the standing-O after she and Teddy (Kim Raver) performed a double lung transplant surgery.

So many people had struggled with Covid, and she didnt want to feel any different than anyone else, Marinis described of the emotional moment. So we decided to clap Meredith out of the OR instead, which felt like the ultimate victory to her journey this season.

Merediths final scene wrapped the season on a positive note. That shot of Meredith, in the OR Corridor, surrounded by her people, laughing and smiling in her scrub cap it gives me all the feels, the producer said. It gives me hope after such a hard year.

While it may have seemed to many longtime viewers that season 17 could be the medical dramas last, the network renewed it for an 18th season in May. Pompeo, 51, previously teased that theres no end in sight for the Greys team.

I gotta keep doing it, man, because were touching lives and making a difference, she said during a 2018 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Pompeo is ready to tell more of her characters story, but theres one doctor fans wont be seeing again next season. Jesse Williams, who played Jackson Avery for 12 seasons, announced his departure from the show last month.

My last day there, the crew and cast give me this incredibly thoughtful, moving custom box full of letters and memorabilia from each and every member of the family. Heartfelt letters and photos, he told Entertainment Weekly of his emotional exit. Ive got my original lab coat, stethoscope, and ID card, scrub tops and all these mementoes. It was really sweet. Im looking at it right now, its sitting on my countertop. Its really, really sweet personal stuff, anecdotes. It was really something. Im incredibly grateful.

‘NCIS,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ & More Shows That Benefited From Shorter Seasons – TV Insider

Posted on by

The past two TV seasons were affected by the pandemic in more ways than just offscreen (with production shutdowns and adjustments to availability and what scenes could and could not be filmed). They also, in some cases, featured fewer episodes of some of our favorite shows. But that wasnt necessarily a bad thing.

For example, when it came to medical dramas that incorporated COVID-19 (like Greys Anatomy), it might allow the shows to distance next season slightly from it with most of the pandemic (except for long-term effects) left in the past. For procedurals, it resulted in tighter storylines and less time spent chasing after a suspect (like on Law & Order: Organized Crime). And for one kiss that was seasons in the making, it might have meant fewer episodes to finally see that happen.

Scroll down as we take a look at the shows that benefited from shorter seasons in 2020-2021 based on the current storylines.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Fans Still Think Nico Is the Worst – ‘He’s Basically a Statue’ – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted on by

When Dr. Nico Kim (played by actor Alex Landi) first appeared on Greys Anatomy in Season 15, the new character made history on the medical TV drama.

Dr. Kims addition back in 2018 expanded the diversity of Greys Anatomy in numerous ways: He was the shows first openly gay male surgeon, he extended the dramas racial diversity, and he was also the shows first orthopedic surgery fellow (Dr. Callie Torres, played by Sara Ramirez, never actually did her fellowship).

However, despite Dr. Kims groundbreaking storyline and plot development, not everyone loves how the surgeon is portrayed onGreys Anatomy, and some fans on social media have choice words about the actor himself.

RELATED: Greys Anatomy: Here Are All the Ways You Can Watch or Stream All 16 Seasons for Free

Greys Anatomy is no stranger to characters expressing their sexuality and embracing their personal identity. But when actor Alex Landi landed the role of Dr. Nico Kim in 2018, the news quickly caught the attention of fans for how historic the decision was.

Greys Anatomy has, of course, had no shortage of prominent LGBT characters over the years, explained TV Line when the news broke, but few of them have been men. Andnone of them have been surgeons.

Dr. Nico Kim appears in the premier of 2018s 15 season, working alongside Dr. Atticus Lincoln (i.e., Link) to help save a woman who had been hit by a car while biking. In that same episode, Dr. Kim hints at his sexuality when he winks at Dr. Levi Schmitt.

RELATED: Greys Anatomy: Have We Seen the Last of Schmitt and Nico?

After the flirtatious wink in the season 15 premiere, Dr. Kim and Dr. Schmitt get to know each other and share their first kiss in an elevator during season 15s sixth episode before becoming a couple.

Dr. Kim and Dr. Schmitts relationship become a significant part of the shows drama as the two navigate working together and integrating their personal and professional lives. Unfortunately, the constant tension proves too much for the two doctors.

In the sixteenth season of Greys Anatomy, the couple ends their relationship. Dr. Schmitt opens up to his then-boyfriend, saying hes tired of always having to ask for what he wants and explaining that he needs someone whos willing to make sacrifices for him. Dr. Kim responds, saying that he hopes Dr. Schmitt can find someone who can do that one day.

RELATED: Greys Anatomy Fans Cant Decide Exactly Why They Dislike This Character

The Nico and Levi break up scene was so badly written and anti-climactic, complained one fan on Twitter. Nico is an [expletive]the constant disrespect he shows Levi, complained another Twitter user.

Years after their breakup, Greys Anatomy audiences still have strong feelings about the Dr. Kim character, and even about Landi as an actor himself. This guy is a terrible actor, writes one Reddit user. Hes basically a statue and I dont get why he is in the show. No range, no emotion. A grapefruit would do a better job!

Numerous other audience members on the social media network piled on in the comments. One person said I literally hate Nico, while another person tried to give Landi the benefit of the doubt. I never really thought about the actor being bad, writers Reddit user Living-Purple-8004. I just thought the character was so bad. But youre not wrong.

Interestingly, Landi was relatively new to acting when he landed the role of Dr. Kim, and he wasnt a big fan of Greys Anatomy before joining the show. The 26-year-old actually didnt grow up envisioning acting let alone acting on one of TVs most popular shows, reports Entertainment Weekly. He wasnt a Greys Anatomy superfan but hes a quick learner.

Landi tells the outlet that he did a lot of research on the characters and their various relationships, but that its hard to catch up when theres been 20-something episodes a season for 14 seasons.

Grey’s Anatomy: 5 Ways Jackson And Sloan Had The Ultimate Bromance (& 5 It Was George And Burke) – Screen Rant

Posted on by

Between George & Burke and Jackson & Sloan, which Grey's Anatomy bromance would fans say is the best?

Grey's Anatomy features very many spectacular friendshipsand relationships. There are some bromances that stand out simply because they are too cool, and sometimes too cute to handle. Mark Sloan and Jackson Avery were two such characters who had such an adorable bond that developed from their mentor-mentee relationship.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Ways Jackson Became Better And Better

But George O'Malley and Preston Burke walked so that Jackson and Mark could run. After all, O'Malley and Burke were the first bromance of the early Grey's Anatomy universe. However, if fans have to choose between the two friendships, which one would they say was the ultimate bromance?

Mark was so excited to call them the "Plastic Posse" when Jackson also firmly decided to pursue Plastics as his specialization. The excitement with which he presented the name to Jackson, adding the tagline "kicking surgical a**, and taking names," was incredibly cute. He also started referring to themselves with this title when talking to others as well. While embarrassed initially, Jackson quickly warmed up to itand even started using it himself.

When George left Meredith's house after their one night stand, he crashed for a while at Burke's house. This was where fans saw their bond grow stronger. George went running with Burke, made him coffee and breakfast, knew his favorite musicians, played instruments with him, and more.

Cristina noted how George was doing everything except sleeping with Burke. He was doing all those things that Cristina shirked away. It was quite amusing to watch George and Burke's domestic existence.

Jackson and Sloan were the pinnacle bromance at this moment as Sloan admits to Jackson with certainty that he wants to be Jackson's teacher, while Jackson agrees back that he wanted to be Mark's student.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Ways Mark Sloan Got Better And Better

While their relationship was briefly strained due to their love of Lexie, they decided to put their careers first. After this, they continued their bromance in full swing and nothing could break them apart again.

When George's father was getting surgery, Burke took a complete interest in the case - even when he couldn't operate himself. He was constantly helping George, and getting updates, giving him medical advice.

It was very easy to see how much George trusted Burke and how strong their relationship was as George would still seek Burke out, even after Burke and Cristina's secret was exposed.

When Jackson started exploring other specialties other than Plastics, Mark started to get really worried that Jackson would leave him. He very earnestly asks Derek whether Jackson was going to leave him as well.

This is a hilarious moment asShepherd pulls Mark's leg, telling him that if he loved someone, he should let them free. But the earnest way with which Mark approached Derek showed to fans how much the bromancemeant to Mark.

When Alex Karev and George got stuck in an elevator with a man who very badly needed heart surgery, Burke called on Alex to perform the same. While Alex panicked and froze, George took over. And Burke instructed George through the entire procedure, which was an incredible achievement for just an intern.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 10 Ways Alex Karev Became Better And Better

Burke was incredibly proud of George for being able to pull it off, and their ability to communicate in that extreme situation was intense.

Before Jackson's Boards, Mark was behaving exactly as a concerned parent would. He told him what to eat, offered to give him cash, told him how to behave, and so on. It was a hilarious moment where Sloan was being so fatherly to a very teenager likeJackson. Jackson and Sloan's relationship had many dimensions, and this father-son like dimension was a joy to watch.

George and Burke moved past a mentor-mentee relationship pretty quickly, into a very solid friendship. And soon, Preston started to refer to O'Malley as his "guy." George became Burke's go-to person for everything, and he trusted and relied on George for things. They were a good team, both practicing medicine and on other things.

To decide who takes care of Sofia that day, Mark Sloan and Arizona Robbins engage in a match of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors.' Jackson is also present in the scene as his hype-man and the intensity with they engage in the match is hilarious.

RELATED: Grey's Anatomy: 5 Times Jackson Avery Was An Overrated Character (& 5 He Was Underrated)

After they go two rounds, Jackson pulls Mark back to discuss the plan of action in the final round. The absurdity and silliness of the situation, coupled with the way in which Jackson and Sloan discuss the matter makes it one of the funniest moments on the show.

When Burke's lucky scrub caps are misplaced in the laundry, the highly superstitious surgeon is extremely worried. He finds out that Cristina has one of them and is using it to blackmail him into kicking O'Malley out of their house.

Burke assigns George to get it back from Cristina, and O'Malley gives it his all. George's dedication towards doing the task and the trust Burke places on him to do so all add up for very comical occurrences to happen.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Keeps Trying to Replace Derek, But It Will Never Work – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Posted on by

Greys Anatomy wouldnt be in its 17th season if it didnt have a strong opening, and while the show remains a massive hit nearly two decades into its run, it still owes a lot to its earliest days.

While the show is, at its core, an ensemble piece about theworkers at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, its really about the titular Meredith Grey. While fans still love the series, many miss a character who hasnt been on the series in years.

Dozens of characters have come and gone throughout the series run, but Ellen PompeosMeredith Grey remains headstrong17 years into her run on the series. Throughout that time, fans have watched Grey fall in and out of love, watched as her loved ones pass away, cope with the tragedies that come with her job, and manage several difficult personalities both through her doctors and her patients.

In many ways, it is Greys private life that shapes everything else. The show has gotten bigger in scale and made stars out of more than one cast member, but had Grey not been there as the hospitals backbone, things might have gone much differently.

As a hard-working doctor with little time to waste on love, several men have tried throughout the series run, but her original relationship with Derek is still the highlight of her love life.

Meredith met Derek through their job. As her married boss, the twotried to keep their relationship professionaluntil a spur-of-the-moment one-night-stand complicated things. However, rather than hiding her feelings, Meredith and Derek eventually come clean after he agrees to leave his wife and start a relationship with Grey.

The relationship had its ups and downs for eleven years, but when Dempsey left the show in season 11, a wrench was put into the whole thing.

From Chris ODonnells Finn, a rebound after Derek resisted her pleas to Nathan, Finn, and William Thorpe, Meredith has had her ups and downs when it comes to her relationships. Pompeo reflected on this shifting tone, acknowledging that she wanted Greys love life to be authentic.

I think that a show that runs for as long asGreys, the show has had to grow with the characters, Pompeo told Good Housekeeping. Im 15 years older now, so Im so much stronger a person than I was then. It just evolves, the actress said (per Good Housekeeping). The writers get to know you, they watch the dailies and they watch the show.Greysis so unique, because weve been on the air for so long, theyve all watched me grow up. Shonda and the writers, weve all grown up together.

Despite Dereks death and Dempseys departure, that initial relationship is still the best the show has had to offer.

Speaking about the men in Merediths life, manyfans on Reddit spoke about their desireto see her end up with someone like Derek. However, as u/HorseToothGary points out, recreating what once worked doesnt necessarily make for compelling television.

Meredith and Derek were too good together. They made the show the hit it was in the beginning. No other combo will ever come close. Patrick Dempsey was just too perfect. It would be like trying to replace Han Solo with Leia. Not possible.

Meredith has to grapple with loss like everyone else, and while the series has had its hits and misses over 17 years, this helps keep the show fresh. After all, Meredith is the driving force that has allowed Greys cast to flourish for as long as it has.With no signs of slowing down, either, perhaps true love still awaits its biggest star.

Anatomy of A Collapse: Indias Batting Woes Are Not Entirely Shocking – The Wire

Posted on by

For the white ball leg of Indias current outing in Australia, the Indian team donned a kit that resembled the one from early 1990s.

The pleasantly surprising move allowed the fans to indulge in a nostalgic drive while witnessing some quality cricket. During the first one-day match however, Sanjay Manjrekar on commentary remarked that along with the kit, Indias fielding standards too were reminiscent of those the team was known for back in the 90s. Manjrekar is somewhat infamous for having a few sarcastic swipes at the Indian team from time to time and few would have raised their eyebrows over it.

In fact, India finished the limited overs leg with fairly respectable returns. But for a few fielding lapses in an odd game, nothing about the teams effort would bring back the less than pleasing memories of the 90s. Nothing for the fans to lose sleep over. Well, not yet anyway. Except that the horrors of the 90s were reserved for the 3rd innings of the opening Test at Adelaide. The humiliating capitulation on Saturday morning that saw India register its lowest total ever in a Test innings was not a sight entirely unfamiliar to a generation having lived through the ordeals from Durban to Bridgetown and from Hamilton to Ahmedabad.

But with the constant emphasis in the media on this teams superior pedigree to those in the past, the fans could be forgiven for thinking those tribulations were something theyd never be subjected to again. And even if one accounts for an odd aberration that isnt thematic of the teams quality, this Test had no business being one of the occasions considering the position of authority that Virat Kohlis men had secured at the end of the second days play.

India went into the third innings with a handy 53 run lead, though it could have been a much more substantial one with neater catching. India had lost opener Prithvi Shaw late on day 2 but Shaw hasnt inspired much confidence of late and with the experienced senior pros in the middle order still in the dugout, India looked at building a solid ground to defend, perhaps even batting Australia out of the Test. But that obviously didnt go according to plans.

Nightwatchman Jasprit Bumrah succumbed to Pat Cummins in the second over of the day. That was on expected lines. Bumrah had already played his part. In walked Cheteshwar Pujara. Opener Mayank Agarwal was just looking like he was ready to see out the new ball despite having had a lifeline the previous night. This was the critical partnership India was counting on. Agarwal and Pujara had to bat long and wear the Australian bowlers down to provide a platform for Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Hanuma Vihari to capitalise on later in the day.

The next thirty odd minutes proved to be Indias death knell as Cummins and Josh Hazlewood delivered an exhibition of peerless fast bowling reducing Indian batsmen to mere spectators resigned to fate. From being only one down for 15 runs at one point, India lost 8 more adding another 16 runs to the scoreboard. Cummins and Hazlewood ran in, consistently hit the three quarter length, exploited bounce, and ensured the seam movement was just about enough to take the batsmans edge almost every single time.

Pujara found himself playing the wrong line, Rahane and Agarwal got caught in the crease, Vihari played with hard hands, and Kohli not for the first time in his life chased a wide one after committing himself on the front foot. The pitch too played quite visibly quicker than it did for the first two days. The bounce was true and the ball carried above the keepers shoulders. The edges were no longer carrying short to the slips. Add to it, two of the worlds best bowlers extracting nasty seam movement constantly threatening both the edges of the bat.

These were not the most conducive of conditions for batting. The Australian batsmen themselves found it incredibly tough to find any rhythm on this pitch against an attack slightly less potent than their own. But that does not explain away a chink in the armour that India has refused to address for a while now that this batting unit is not quite as good as it is often made out to be.

That Indias bowling attack is the most potent one in the world across conditions is no longer an opinion now. The claim has demonstrable evidence. But the same cannot be said about batting. Earlier this year, India played two Tests in New Zealand in daunting conditions and threw in the towel rather easily. It must be clarified India lost the toss in both Tests and therefore had to bear the brunt of a green seaming wicket first up. But interestingly, it is the second innings on both occasions that the Indian batting got skittled out rather cheaply the phase of a Test match most batting friendly in New Zealand.

On their 2018 South Africa tour, India conceded the Test series under similarly testing conditions. In the two Tests they lost, India lost seven wickets for less than 100 in three out of four innings. Things didnt change much later that year in England either as India similarly found themselves wanting against the moving ball be it at Edgbaston, Lords, or The Oval. And when one views Saturdays debacle at Adelaide under the weight of this recent historical context, things suddenly do not seem all that shocking. In fact, the showdown from Cummins and Hazlewood mustve painfully reminded the Indian fans of their teams travails at Old Trafford in 2014 when James Anderson and Stuart Broad kept pitching the ball up and the Indian top order kept guiding everything to the slip cordon. Three out of Indias top six have remained the same across the six years between these two Tests but the demons have not been put to rest yet.

Now, no team in the world is comfortable batting against sustained quality of fast bowling when the conditions assist the bowlers so much. And despite some glaring technical problems with Indias batsmen, the scorecard from this innings does not fairly appraise the teams bating reserves. It was one of those freakish passages of play where everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. It is entirely possible Cummins and Hazlewood will bowl even better at some point in the remainder of the series than they did today without coming anywhere close to replicating the same returns. And at the same time, Indian batsmen too will at some point get away with playing more profligate shots outside off stump.

Having said that, Indias batting woes outside the subcontinent very much continue to remain and are unlikely to go away any time soon. Indias fast bowling stocks are stronger than ever though and that allows the team to produce results from time to time that flatter to deceive. Over the course of Test crickets history, rarely have teams thoroughly cracked what would qualify as alien conditions. It is perfectly normal for teams to take a beating down when odds are so heavily stacked against them.

The current Indian team is no exception. They still remain an extremely formidable force in their own backyard and that enviable home record is something that deserves to be written about much more. But away from home, contrary to what the fans have been led to believe, this batting unit is hardly any stronger than the ones India has produced since the turn of the century and remains just as vulnerable as ever. No amount of boisterousness in front of press by Ravi Shastri is going to change it.

Debbie Allen on Dance Dreams, Grey’s Anatomy, & the Power of Legacy – Coveteur

Posted on by

The icon chatted with Coveteur about her career, the cultural relevance of Greys Anatomy, and her hopes for the future of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

Growing up as a dancer, Ive always thought of the dance world as having four wonders: Katherine Dunham, Alvin Ailey, Josephine Baker, and Debbie Allen. Throughout my 24 (nearly 25 in a few weeks) years of living, I can confidently say that my mother has always made sure I was up to snuff on the legend that was Debbie Allen. As a choreographer, actress, director, producer, and Emmy award-winning phenomenon, Allen has been making more than an impact to match her legacy on the world of arts, television, and film that contribute to Black culture far beyond the 1980s. And as a die-hard fan of A Different World, honorary member of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and Black girl dancer, interviewing Debbie Allen was an honor and privilege.

On a Wednesday afternoon, I joined the conference line to await the voice of Ms. Allen herself. Hi, DShonda! she said, filled with joy at nearly 9:00 AM in the morning. I had no idea thereafter that every word with the Fame actress and principal choreographer would be one for the books filled with wisdom and experience curated from her 40 years as a Black woman in Hollywood, a mother, sister, friend, and cultural icon.

As a woman with the world of performing arts at her fingertips, I absolutely had to ask her about how her mental health was being managed during the pandemic. She burst into laughternot in a condescending why would you ask me that type of tone, but laughing at the current state of the world and having to work around it. Im sorry, I had to laugh. I dont have the luxury of doing anything else other than being mentally healthy. I dont have the luxury to go off the rails, so I dont even know what that means, she shared.

You would think that even during the pandemic, the legendary Allen would be able to take some time off to practice stillness. I guess when youve been working since 1970, the green light may be all youre accustomed to seeing, even when the world is on pause. Amidst the crazy election cycle finally winding down and the pandemic coming into a second wave, the Dancing in the Wings author let out a sigh before telling me about the relationship between her creativity and COVID-19.

Allen revealed that she had shut down the Debbie Allen Dance Academy on the same day that the set of Greys Anatomy shut down, but that didnt mean that the show was over. Everybody was in the office; we sent out letters, but I said were not gonna stop, she told Coveteur. While everyone was confused at first, Allen proposed virtual classes that would be announced on her Instagram account and immediately resume the following Wednesday. When she was challenged with the five Ws and how she would get it done, she responded, I dont know, but were doing it. And so she did.

Her first classes amassed over 35,000 virtual attendees worldwide with the assistance of managing producer Major King and development manager Haley Fonfa to figure out the technological aspect. Before we knew it, we were a Zoom studio and we didnt even know what that meant, she admitted. Over the course of the summer, shes had over 250 students in her summer intensive program from all over the world including Brazil, Germany, and Australia.

Growing up, Allen was born in segregated Houston and was the third child to an orthodontist and a Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet, artist, and scholar, but she knew that her dreams were far bigger than Texas alone. Though the opportunities were slim pickings, her mother, Vivian Allen, recognized the raw talents of Debbie and her sister, now Tony Awardwinning actress Phylicia Rashad, and made the executive decision to relocate the family to Mexico to further pour into Debbies dance passions.

At four years old, I knew it then, the Howard University graduate shared about when her passion for dance first started. I was running around my grandmothers living room and dancing to the radio. When we got a television, I would watch the musical films all Saturday morning, and I saw myself at four years old knowing thats what I wanted to do. And she knew she was destined for greatness from that point on. Allen was accepted into the Houston Ballet Foundation at 13 years old after having been rejected for six years, but the drive and tenacity required from her for the four years to follow would mold her into the dancer, choreographer, and cultural icon we know her as today.

After graduating from one of the top HBCUs in the country with a degree in theater, Allen went on to pursue a career on Broadway and landed roles as Anita in the 1980s West Side Story and Sweet Charity. To this day, we must recognize that without the great Debbie Allen, we would not have Famethe original and rebooted versionsA Different World, or the esteemed Debbie Allen Dance Academy. However, we would be remiss if we didnt pay homage to the five-time NAACP Image Award recipients achievements as a director, producer, and actress on ABCs groundbreaking hit medical drama series Greys Anatomy.

Ive been really busy, and certainly, putting Greys Anatomy back on its feet is a feat in itself, the Catherine Avery actress said. The meetings, the hours of Zoomoh my god. Hours and hours and hours, days and months of the protocols [on] how do we do it and be safe. Were in a war right now with this COVID, and it took a lot, but finally we figured it out and were doing it. Were lucky that weve been able to move forward and now were on our ninth week of shooting, she said before she interrupted and corrected herself.

No, actually, its been more than that. We started shooting September 8th, and its now November, so weve been doing it for two months and some change, Debbie said. My inner Greys Anatomy fan was geeked out to steer the conversation in the direction of this iconic show and her role in it as an actress and behind-the-scenes director.

Though most of us may think of Allens connection to Greys as Catherine Avery, what most may not know is that Shonda Rhimes hired Allen to serve as an executive producer and director in the twelfth season. This role was by far one of Allens most culturally shifting duties to date, including the responsibility of curating a coalition of directors every year, to which she solemnly swore to put women in the directors seat for at least half the episodes per season. In an effort to make women, both transgender and cisgender, seen in the entertainment industry, Allen has even given the chair to costar Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey.

Greys Anatomy is not only recognized for being the longest-running prime-time medical drama in the country, but their cultural impact beyond television and film has touched women, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, and allies across the world. Thankfully, Allen has been able to be part of this family since 2011.

We are one of the most culturally relevant aspects of the American culture as we present ourselves to the world, and its very important that we tell our stories from our point of view that could only come from that, Allen said proudly about Greys position in entertainment telling the stories of Black America and the more recent pandemic outbreak. She continued to stress the importance of collaboration within entertainment for the betterment of the non-monolithic Black narrative by using the late Chadwick Bosemanstarring film as a prime example. Black Panther happened and it is a phenomenon, and Ryan Coogler directed it, who did Fruitvale Station. [We see] all of those young, beautiful people who are in that movie, and it was a production that came out of Disney. That is many different voices coming together that gave this one voice resonance that touched the entire world and touched the planet.

Allen recognizes the growth
, evolution, and change within the nature of the universe and encourages us to all be thankful for it as we witness the cultural growth off and on screen. When it came to the Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, Allen knew that she was taking something so traditional and conventional and transforming it into a phenomenon all her own that would give hope and representation for future generations. The kids have a sense of seeing themselvesthats everything. I can remember when I was a little kid, the only Black person on TV Id see was Leslie Uggams when I was a little bitty girl on something called Sing Along with Mitch. There was Diahann Carrolls Julia. We didnt see ourselves in those lead positions. We might be a maid or a chauffeur, but we werent the lead.

Fast-forward to 2020, Debbie Allen is the leading lady in her own Netflix documentary film, Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker. Allen confessed that she founded the Debbie Allen Dance Academy in honor of her daughter Vivian Nixon. She needed somewhere else to go, and all these kids needed somewhere else to go where they could put their feet on the ground and have their cultural identity at the same time, she said. The film highlighting Debbie Allens iconic career, the reinvention and reimagination of Tchiacovksys original 1982 two-act ballet performance, and the inspirational students and instructors from DADA was executive-produced by a familiar face in the industrythe one and only Shonda Rhimes. This was totally Shonda Rhimes idea to put this on Netflix, she laughed as she passed off the credit to her Greys Anatomy family member.

She took it and shaped it into what it is now. She masterminded it becoming what it is, Allen praised Rhimes. Oliver Bokelberg shot it, Shonda took it to Netflix and reshaped it so its now something thats going to be in 180 different languages. The world will see these beautiful kids doing what they do bestjust learning, being disciplined, and onstage performingand what that means to them. Thats everything, and I think its inspirational. Did you find it inspirational when you watched it? she prompted me.

This interview had now become a full-blown conversation with Debbie Allen as I ensured her that my unique experience as a Black girl dancer from Brooklyn was paralleled to hers and the students who shared intimate interviews in Netflixs Dance Dreams. There you go, you understand it. Youll be able to write about it better than anything I could say, the icon said to me after I told her about the cultural messaging and unique position of herself and the Debbie Allen Dance Academy as an inspiration to myself and other young dancers of color around the world. Pinch me.

Before we parted ways, I asked her about her hopes for Hot Chocolate Nutcracker and the legacy she hopes it will leave for future generations. Were still in the making, so I cant think about leaving anything right now. Im thinking about building. Were in the middle of a capital campaign. Were gonna raise seven million dollars to finish this building, and it is for these children. This is a cultural center. Its gonna be called the Shonda Rhimes Performing Arts Center that houses the Debbie Allen Dance Academy and Debbie Allen Middle School. Im starting a school in the fall. Im in the building stages, so Im moving, she exclusively revealed about her forthcoming plans to pour into the younger generation with education, love, and empowerment. Allen ended our conversation with humility, grace, and a reminder that even at the age of 70 years old, she is only scratching the surface.

I am not thinking about legacy. Im too much in the building of going up right now. When you start talking about legacy, youre looking back like youve done it. Im just not there yet.

Swamp Thing 109 Review: The Anatomy Lesson – Cape & Castle

Posted on by

I cant believe were rearing up on the season (series) finale. Just one episode to go. Even when this first came out, I believed it deserved a second season and more beyond that. I still believe that. With all of the buzzing on social media about its time on The CW, its apparent Im not the only one. Now, with the show nearing its finale, will there be more? Thats still a mystery.Last week on Swamp Thing (review here), Abby tried to search for answers but only found trouble at the CDC. Her resources were yanked out from under her, including her best friend, Harlan. Averys fight for survival out in the swamp brought painful memories to the surface and he came face to face with Swamp Thing. Though promises were made, they were also broken.This week, Abby turned to Liz for help in finding Alec/Swamp Thing. Daniel stepped up to take on the role of the true Blue Devil. Woodrue completely lost himself in his obsession.

Lets review!

Abby (Crystal Reed) surprised Liz (Maria Sten) with her return but it was a short welcome. Immediately, Abby asked for her help with finding and rescuing Swamp Thing/Alec from Woodrues clutches. While it seemed crazy to ask, Liz reminded Abby that she will always be at her side. I absolutely love that about Liz. No matter the amount of crazy or danger, like Abby, she will do anything to help people. Those two are like two peas in a pod. Make that three when you add Harlan, and I totally am because Im not giving up on his being suddenly kidnapped in the dark of the night.

The two wound up visiting Woodrues home only to meet his wife whose Alzheimers is even worse than before. The determination and teamwork between Abby and Liz really make my feminist heart swoon. Woman power at its finest, you guys. Nothing is standing in their way of finding Swamp Thing and getting to the bottom of the Sunderlands dirty business. However, I wish they wouldve called somebody to stay with Mrs. Woodrue so she wasnt by herself after they left her house.

After finding and saving Alec/Swamp Thing (Derek Mears), Abby refused to leave his side as they followed him back to the place where he died. Liz couldnt go on, but Abby remained and saw him bring his own body from the water, proving once and for all that Alec is dead. What remains is this new form of Alec: Swamp Thing. Hell never return to his human form. While it is heartbreaking for Abby, it also settled her fight to save Alec and focus on the danger Marais is in because of the Rot. Yeah, thats still out there!

Swamp Thing 109 The Anatomy Lesson via ComingSoon.net

Daniel (Ian Ziering) was still being held in the hospital, but after the Phantom Stranger paid him a visit and showed him a vision of Abby and Liz being shot to death trying to save Swamp Thing/Alec, he wasnt staying any longer. It was time to officially jump in the fray. This wasnt just some attempt to get out of Marais either. This was his friends in danger. While its been a hot second since hes been onscreen, Im thrilled to see him jump back into action.

Getting to see the Blue Devil blaze to life was phenomenal. Granted, Daniel questioned himself but ultimately took it on, determined to get it right this time. Luckily, he made it in time and managed to save Abby and Liz, giving them the chance they needed to get to Swamp Thing/Alec.

Swamp Thing 109 The Anatomy Lesson via TSR

The grand entrance of the Blue Devil was utterly spectacular. From the scene of him taking on a room full of militant mercenaries down to his look with the horns and his devastating, fiery powers. The build-up of Daniels character from his backstory to his destiny was more than worthwhile just for this. Sure, the full size, smurf blue demon came out a lot different and a little scarier than his traditional comic self, but coming to life, he looked amazing. Hellish and badass!

Swamp Thing 109 The Anatomy Lesson via Hypable

Woodrues (Kevin Durand) greatest dream just came true. He found the specimen of a lifetime by capturing Swamp Thing/Alec. With Averys (Will Patton) discretion at a secret Sunderland facility, he got the chance to study Swamp Thing as if he werent a living thing, but just another test subject thats a means to advance his career. His intensity about this shows just how much hes truly forgotten about his wifes condition, so this is no longer for her.

As he went about the autopsy, he discovered organs inside but pointed out that they dont do anything. These bits of Swamp Thing are bits that kept him tied to his human self, Alec Holland, from before. Its the part of Swamp Thing that still believed he could go back to being a man, that a part of him still was. It didnt move Woodrue to consider stopping his procedure but only encouraged him more. Me, however? My heart broke for him and Abby. Hes still trying to figure out who and what he is and this was brutal.

Swamp Thing 109 The Anatomy Lesson via IMDb

Avery surprised Maria (Virginia Madsen) this week by getting her sent to the Barclay Institution, a mental hospital, and fully taking over the project with Woodrue, the accelerant, and Swamp Thing. With her committed, that left him in charge of her money too. She definitely needed to be put into a loony bin, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Maria, as dastardly and unforgiving as she is, has more of a level head about business and morals than Avery does. Avery needs put away too. Hopefully, hell be next! The man is dangerous and has no regard for anybody when it comes to getting something he wants and he wants Swamp Thing.
