Greys Anatomy New series 18

[FiftyShadesofMeredith]

Came on to see what everyone thought of the first episode tonight but can’t find a thread. Where are my people?

Schmidt was over ambitious and ultimately incompetent, resulting in the death of a patient. His sudden blossoming into “resident of the year” always seemed very unlikely and he still appears to have the emotional maturity of an 8 year old.

Id much rather see more of Helm.

Schmidt basically decided to move to the next stage of the surgery before there was a resident present (got cocky - Helm tried to stop him and he said something like 'This is routine for me now'), damaged a vein and the patient bled out (spectacularly!) - Bailey blamed it on the Webber method and said 'This is on you' to Webber. I was watching that bit quite carefully because the patient has the same disease as me - I was like 'Yay - an ulcerative colitis story. Hope it's a nice positive one with a good outcome....aaaand he's dead on the table and everybody is ankle-deep in his blood' :/

The Webber Method being?! Apologies for not being up to date! And thanks for the explanation!

Webber method is that residents get to operate on their own up until a certain point in the op and then they have to wait for an attending before proceeding. Schmidt didn’t wait.

Webbers method isn’t much different from minnicks method a few seasons ago.

But this season as a whole is boring.

Ah yes I see now. But how is it on Webber then if he wrongly continued? Sure he's ridiculous and not a bit doctor-like!

He is Schmidt. Enough said

Would you let him cut your toe-nails?

We’ve had several new male characters: Schmidt, Nico, Riggs, Irish Doc, Maggie’s doctor man, Meredith’s doctor man, Link, Meredith’s new employer/whatever he is and Karacick are the ones that come to mind.

It would be nice to have some new female characters. Complete with actual characters (unlike Maggie, the most boring person ever) and that aren’t just box-ticking cyphers. As in Amelias soon-to-be love interest.

Because Schmidt wouldn't have been operating without an Attending in the room if Webber hadn't introduced his method.

Sorry for butting in but where are you watch Season 18?

Now TV It’s on Sky witness too

Yes but the Webber Method wasn't go on ahead either. Very true re new characters. I'm rewatching on Disney simultaneously, now on Season 5 maybe, the man with the gun about to happen. Much more depth to the characters - Lexie, Callie etc. Rather than the revolving door of characters and partners going on now.

A lot of the new characters post season 10 just have no depth and are very one dimensional.

Schmitt never seemed like the gung ho, cocky type who would not wait for an attending. Total Alex Karev or Nico Kim move, not really n character.

Very true sheila. He'd be more likely to be worried and fret. However, I didn't manage to see it.

I'm watching the shooter episode here from series 6. Fantastic. And the friendship between Meredith and Christina is really fabulous. However Lexie 'loves' Karev... Really? Didn't find them even a bit believable. I had forgotten they were ever together tbh.

This series he has become pushy and cocky, and being singled out as the star of the group.

When is the second half back in the UK?

I'm sure I read it would be in February but I don't know what date.

Only me reminiscing again.. I'm on S7 now.. Meredith and the trial fix, Christina pregnant. So good.

Also, I forgot Zola had spina bifida, can't ever remember that being an issue over the years

I’d totally forgotten we are only halfway through this season.

Not exactly desperate for the second half.

HeyGirlHeyBoy - it came up once when a neurosurgeon had to work on a poorly Zola. Not sure how far you are in your rewatch so won’t spoiler!

Ah OK, I don't remember that. Meredith was all about being a different mother than her own... But I think it is probably quite similar.. I am just before the plane crash now i think.

Next episode is sun 27 Feb on sky witness

Oh it's not usually a Sunday is it?
