68 replies

CallieTorres · 24/03/2024 09:37

So the UK and US pace for season 20 is going to be pretty close

This thread is for UK pace, where the season 20 premiere of Grey's Anatomy will drop via Disney+ on Thursday 28 March, with episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays thereafter

Not sure if there will be gaps like they have in the US

@crayfishyum doesn't bother me at all, because there have been some very recent studies showing the very link they're talking about (gut microbiome) so it makes sense to include it somehow in the show. I think Grey's is pretty careful with presenting "exciting new science".

They haven't cured it, just found strong evidence of a link between biome and alzheimers. What to do with that knowledge is a whole other study and money and time!

I do wonder if they have to get permission from the "real scientists" when they do this kind of storyline though!

crayfishyum · 07/06/2024 20:31

and i wonder how the real scientists feel about their work being achieved by just two people, one of whom working full time!

It strikes me as farcical actually but given the subject matter…. awful too.

And they absolutely do talk about “cure for alzheimer’s “… i have literally just watched the latest episode

Cat1971 · 07/06/2024 23:22

I guess they are just piggy-backing on the latest research outcomes and it ties in nicely with the link back to Ellis and Derek's early work - but yes I agree it is a bit ridiculous and insensitive to anyone with the diagnosis - if they just avoided the word 'cure' it would be better..

They always take some new research and have the doctors come up with it.

Bailey giving that child without an immune system "deactivated HIV". There is research being done with that. But it's not being done by one general surgeon on their own. How would she have the knowledge and skills to play around with a virus like that? Why would a surgeon be doing it in the first place?

HIV used to cure 'bubble boy' disease www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47969367
I think this article is a few years after that story line, so they probably took the storyline from more preliminary research/theory.

anyone else think the notion that Meredith and Amelia have cured Alzheimer’s not only completely daft and far fetched but also very insensitive and actually a bit offensive?

No, because it is a fictional program in which multiple horrendous tragedies befall the same 8 people, all while seemingly not sleeping.

Was episode 10 the last episode of this season? If so then that felt a bit anticlimactic compared to some of the previous season finales.

Booksandflowers · 13/06/2024 16:05

Oh yes. Very poor ending if it was. Unless Bailey does leave. Catherine comes across as so mean at the moment.

spiderlight · 13/06/2024 16:35

Catherine was horrible in that episode. I predict that Richard will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease next season and she'll change her tune. It wasn't the greatest season finale, though.

Anon2190 · 14/06/2024 07:25

I would have thought that Meredith would be quite wealthy. I know they put the plane crash money into the hospital and so were on the board. Is that no longer the case? So can Catherine just fire her?

Surely as well she would have got money from Dereks death. If she was that passionate about the research couldn’t she have funded it herself. (Appreciate no dramatic sacking story line then))

CabbageBearGoat · 14/06/2024 07:38

Disappointed with these last episodes. S19 felt like fanfiction. GA was just... honestly, can we get rid of Schmitt? He's not funny or endearing like it seems they're trying to make him, and it flips between him trying to be besties with Wilson or Helm in the same way they keep making it clear he does not understand or follow the usual boundaries of hierarchy vs. friendship and just how to function as a resident. It's just grating to watch because of the inconsistencies. The issues with the research funding in this episode were also a bit odd to me.

He's my least favourite too. Weak and all "help me" when he doesn't know something but a know it all, I'm better than you prick when he has a little bit of knowledge. Like the death of that Devon guy. Then when it did go wrong, needing rescuing.

Wilson is a bit like that with all the outranking comments.

Apparently he is leaving next season.

WhyDoesItAlways · 16/06/2024 16:34

Is that the end of the season? It's barely got started, can't think of anything interesting that's happened so far. I need a good disaster. I want to see people fighting for their lives, not fighting in the board room.

CallieTorres · 16/06/2024 16:39

Due to the impact of the writers and actors strikes, Grey's Anatomy season 20 consists of only 10 episodes. But even considering the shorter run, the ABC staple still managed to pack in plenty of twists and turns.

Season ended on Episode 1- due to script writers strike. (Should have used AI)

CHATGPT: write greys anatomy season 20 episode 11

Grey's Anatomy Season 20, Episode 11: "Crossroads"

Opening Monologue:
MEREDITH (voiceover): "In life, we all come to crossroads. Moments where we have to make decisions that will change our paths forever. In medicine, these moments can mean the difference between life and death, success and failure, happiness and regret."

Scene 1: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital - Morning
Meredith walks through the hospital corridors, greeted by colleagues. She stops by the surgical board and updates it with the day's surgeries.
Meredith: (to herself) Another day, another set of lives in our hands.

Scene 2: Amelia's Office
Amelia is reviewing a patient's scans when Link walks in, holding a coffee cup.
Link: Morning. Thought you could use a pick-me-up.
Amelia: Thanks. (sighs) I'm dealing with a tricky case. A young patient with an inoperable brain tumor.
Link: We'll figure it out, Amelia. We always do.
Scene 3: Emergency Room

Jo and Levi are attending to a trauma patient brought in from a car accident.
Levi: Multiple fractures, possible internal bleeding. We need to get him to surgery, stat.
Jo: (nodding) Let's move. Time is not on our side.

Scene 4: OR Prep Room
Bailey and Richard are scrubbing in for a complicated surgery.
Bailey: Remember when we used to do this every day without breaking a sweat?
Richard: (smiling) We're still the best team this hospital has. Let's show them how it's done.

Scene 5: Hospital Cafeteria
Meredith sits down with Maggie and Winston, discussing the challenges of balancing work and personal life.
Maggie: I just feel like I'm constantly juggling and dropping balls left and right.
Winston: We all are. But we have to keep going. For our patients and for ourselves.
Meredith: (thoughtful) Sometimes I wonder if we should be doing more for ourselves. Maybe it's time to focus on finding that balance.

Scene 6: Pediatric Ward
Teddy is checking on a young patient, Emily, who is battling leukemia. Owen joins her.
Owen: How's Emily doing?
Teddy: She's a fighter. But we need to find a donor match soon.
Owen: (determined) We'll make it happen. We won't give up on her.

Scene 7: Conference Room
The attendings gather for a meeting to discuss the latest advancements in medical technology and how they can be implemented at Grey Sloan.
Richard: We're at a crossroads. These new technologies can revolutionize patient care, but we need to make sure we're using them responsibly.
Bailey: Agreed. We need to stay ahead of the curve without compromising our values.

Scene 8: Hospital Roof - Evening
Meredith stands on the roof, looking out over the city as the sun sets. Amelia joins her.
Amelia: Penny for your thoughts?
Meredith: Just thinking about how far we've come. And how much further we have to go.
Amelia: Whatever crossroads we face, we face them together. That's what family does.
Meredith: (smiling) Together.

Closing Monologue:
MEREDITH (voiceover): "Crossroads are inevitable. They force us to choose, to change, to grow. In medicine, as in life, we must navigate them with courage, with hope, and with the knowledge that we are never truly alone."

Finally watched it. Catherine has always been a bit of a power mover (like when she bought the other hospital to spite him but this was excessive. I liked Owen telling her!

I think it will be her tumor has grown making her mean and agree with @spiderlight that Richard will have Alzheimer's.

DamnNutella · 23/06/2024 22:19

Anyone else think Meredith’s glasses in episode 9 were just odd. At first I thought she was wearing goggles 🥽

the season was meh for me. I don’t really like any of the new interns

spiderlight · 24/06/2024 09:53

Yes, the glasses were ridiculous!

CabbageBearGoat · 24/06/2024 12:15

I didn't think the glasses were too bad! She wouldn't suit full frames so they made sense to me. Modern glasses all look huge at first glance tbh

Caterpillarshoes · 03/07/2024 22:05

I don't like any of the new interns. Adams grew in me a bit if he can stop pulling a face that makes him look in pain & whining a lot.

The rest are like silly high schoolers.

I love Bsiley but mostly miss old characters. Arizona, Callie. Alex, Mark, Jackson, Not Lexi. The plane crash was worth it to get rid of her. The current cast are not a patch on the past era.

Thank god Maggie is gone. I was sad we had to suffer an episode of her.

If they give Richard Alzeimers it would be awful. We don't want to see his demise. It seems so unlikely to given Ellis and Adele going down that route.
