Officially ghost on ghost.
How about last night?
I'm not sure where to begin on this one, except with a question, that now has an answer forming at the back of my head, taking shape, gathering energy, speed, momentum and now about to rush out my fingers in a mighty expression of eloquence and erudition...
....Sppplllllaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttt.
Good Lord.
So that was the end of George and Izzie?
I could have written a better end for George and Izzie. You could have written a better end for George and Izzie. Message to ABC: Next time send us the check (we'll split it up ourselves).
I mean really. George, as the hero though completely unrecognizable insofar as no one could recognize him following the meeting of face with bus. Didn't anyone think to check his pockets? Or did George, on the way to the Army recruiting station, throw his wallet down in the gutter, to be washed away by the Seattle rain along with his past identity?
Izzie: Dies two ticks before 11 p.m., and just about the same time dear George expires. And then we see their ghosts together; and let me say, two ghosts never looked so SMASHING. (Was that the same dress Izzie wore when she and Denny said their final goodbyes? I think so, but am not sure...)
Look, we all expected Izzie to die. That was indeed written - in the stars, in the contracts, in the need for her to do another movie with Seth Rogen. It was written, likewise, that George would move on too. But THIS WAY!?
[By the way, I see in the comments section that some readers have decided that they may not be dead. This is TV and sweeps and nonsense of the first order, so sure - I'll buy that.You may be right. In the meantime, I'm sticking with my dead-is-really-dead theory, until we're all suckered again next season. In fact, we're still being suckered the day after - I see that Shonda has an interview with Michael Ausiello, who asks, "Do you know which one of them lives and which one of them dies?" Said Rhimes, "Yes. And I don't know that you should be saying 'which one of them lives and which one of them dies.' I know what happens to the characters."]
How happy do you think Shonda Rhimes was with these two high-profile actors who hitched up an attitude last season, all huffy and haughty because they couldn't score better lines or scenes that had "Emmy, Baby, Emmy" written all over them? The last we see of Izz in this mortal coil, she is completely bald, absent makeup, lip-gloss or the other accoutrements and enhancers of Heigl-esque beauty. The last we see of George: A broccoli has had better close-ups.
What a disappointment.
No, on second thought, what a wonderful, hilarious, clever joke - as only a producer, who loves revenge served ice cold, could think up.
I think they'll come back anyway - next November, in sweeps. Denny, George, Izzie floating down the hallways of Seattle Grace, bickering, of course.
Denny: "Why's HE here?"
George: "I slept with her too, pal."
Izzie: "Now, boys, boys..."
I can hardly wait.
In fact, I can wait.
