Last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy was by far one of the best so far this year. There was crazy drama, great dialogue "I passed you the torch...and you BLEW IT OUT!", and the action moved forward at a nice clip. It was definitely one of the best-written episodes of this season. For the first time this fall, I liked the entire episode, not just parts of it. Those twins were quite brilliant.
However, the reason this episode was so amazing was because...drum roll, please...there was NO voice over in the beginning of the episode. It just began. Yup, just started right in on the action. The writer made a decision to show us, instead of tell us (which is Good Writing 101). I was thinking I may have lucked out so much that there was going to be no voice over at all, but they put it at the end. Ah well, let's hope that this is Shonda's way of phasing out the voice over. People who rely on it to tell them what to think about the show are just stupid! There, I said it!

You "Grey's" people...so into your show...I think it's cute...
I haven't watched this episode yet but I'm glad to hear that it's so good and that the v/o was kept to a minimum. (V/Os are a MAJOR no-no when writing a script. I'm always surprised when they pop up.)
You laugh just like Shonda. I'm so serious about this. Angela talks like her in terms of speech patterns and you laugh like her. You're both Shonda-esque. It's kinda creepy-cool.
