Any guesses on who the True Blood “twisted sex scene” involves??
I’m guessing that Eric is involved somehow…
An humbler House, TPTB really want to see the end of this show. Oh well, House is going down hill since season 4 anyway

I agree that Meredith isnt a poufy white dress type of bride. But I think just her & derek at city hall (in plain clothes) isnt out of character at all.
Loved your interview, Ausiello. Well done. And want to give you a shout out for always bringing up Eric’s (and Alex’s) popularity. I was watching live and following stream on twitter too. I was glad to see so many comment that they are tired of seeing AP act like she smelled a f*rt whenever anyone brings up how popular Eric/Sookie relationship is. OK, we get it… you are in love with the other vamp in RL… but please show some class. SM is witty and charming about the triangle… which is half the fun.
Adding… what vampire loving woman wouldn’t want to be in the middle of a Bill and Eric sandwich? *grins*
Just because some people want Derek/Merideth to be officially married doesn’t mean they have to have the fairy tale wedding. That just means a trip down to city hall. They should do it before someone comes along and ruins what they have because they’re not technically married.
It’s amazing to me that I’ve only just found somewhere I can make a comment about Grey’s Anatomy.
I do think the Post-It wedding was right for Derek and Meredith, but I can see why people would be annoyed about it. The ‘wedding’ was sold to viewers as a wedding, and it wasn’t, not really. I agree with anyone who says that all it needs is a few minutes in City Hall, it doesn’t have to be a big white wedding, which wouldn’t be right for either character.
People compare with Alex and Izzie, but I have to ask how married they really were? I’m from the UK where you can’t just walk into church and say that the bride and groom aren’t the ones they expected, but a completely different couple. There is a process that has to take place before a marriage can happpen. Is it really the case in America that a couple can just walk into a church and get married like that? If not then as much as Meredith and Derek aren’t legally married, then Alex and Izzie weren’t either.
Agreed. This has really bothered me too. Merder need to fill out some paper work to be legally married…it would take 5 minutes. Until then, please do not refer to each other as husband and wife. THEY AREN’T!
I am SO hoping that Alias remake will go down in flames and explosions before anything happens. Why remake a great show? There’s no need. Besides, the only Sydney Bristow I will ever recognize is Jennifer Garner.
YES!!! Bring back Alias. Best show ever. But I’ll only watch it if Jennifer Garner comes back.
Alias reboot: cool, now if only I had the $ and the legal rights to make it happen. However, I’ll just dream on; aint alias allright, as is, a past production?
Syd could only be JG. The title would not be Alias 2.0, but perhaps ****-Alias. Ah, time will tell how the world of Alias, might come back to life sometime.
What a lolevy wedding to view if one couldnot attend.We only wish them the best in their married life and hope to see them soon.Maze lTov to a fairy tale couple and may life only bring you happiness.Love Michael and Jody
Agreed! It’s kind of annoyed to hear them talk about being married and husband/wife all the time when there is 0 legal recognition to their marriage. You would think that since everyone on that show has been near death multiple times they would want to tie up all their loose ends.
I bet one day SR will say “Yeah…they went to the courthouse and got married but didn’t really tell you so you still have to suck up the post it.”
Whatever SR.
There are millions of gay couples all over the world happy that they are “married” through ceremonies that aren’t legally recognized.
In fact there are straight couples who also do the same. I.E Pagans or people who are just happy to stand in front of their friends and families and commit to one another. Why should the State or “God” tell someone that they are bound to one another. I thought it was couples who decide that they are dedicated, being that they are the ones in the relationship. Not some suit or deity.
I agree with Shonda. In my eyes, they are happy. Isn’t that what the fans should want? You’ve been screaming for their happiness for so long now. They have it. Yet you still want more…
it kind of makes her sound like a limited writer if she sees the only alternative as a poofy white dress fairy tale wedding.
Spoiler LOST ended badly, move on.
i agree sharlin i was married in my apartment of all places but we’ve been going on strong for over a year now we didnt need the big fancy wedding
So why does that matter?
I agree. I’m sick of their stupid pretend marriage. And if Meredith isn’t the “marrying type”, then why pretend to be married? Don’t refer to yourself as someone’s wife/husband if you don’t really want to be married.
Krystyne20 made the best point I think. I don’t really care whether they marry or not, but it annoys me how they’re kind of childishly sitting on the fence going ‘Oh, I don’t really want to do the wedding thing’ while at the same time refering to each other as ‘my wife’ and ‘my husband’. Every time they do that I think ‘Uhmmm, no your not’. Either accept that it’s enough just BEING with each other, or get married for real!
But in the eyes of these fans, if it doesn’t match what THEY want, it’s an insult to them.
@ Kristy: Families overturn patient’s DNR’s all the time, especially if it’s the spouse. I don’t agree with it, but I saw it every day in the ICU. The hospitals are trying to avoid getting sued by surviving family members of the patient.
Actually, you do not have to be married to a person to have the right to make medical decisions for them. All you need is a medical power of attorney stating who has authority. I work for an estate planning attorney and do these documents all day long. They even have places where you can list anyone who you don’t want to have any decision making authority! As for DNRs, my dad signed one before he went in the hospital but when it came time to actually do anything, the doctor’s made me (his power of attorney) make the final decision and I had to sign off on it. Hardest decision of my life but I knew it was what my dad wanted.
I think there’s a difference between gay couples who actually WANT to marry legally but can’t, and straight couples who CAN marry legally but find it more comfortable to pretend instead of doing it for real. The first is caught in a sad and unjust situation, the latter in a childish pretend world. (Which, in this case is actually right on the spot, ha ha)
She doesn’t like MerDer fans? That is ridiculous. If I had to sit through all the complaining you guys do, I’d resent you all waaaay more than she seems to.
oh come on!!! This makes the show more intense. Plus Julia Stiles.
It shouldn’t be insulting. It’s her target market, she should be listening (that’s if she has any concept of business at all) instead. The actors weren’t that happy. Or at least PD wasn’t and was vocal about it. What does that tell you?
For
She seems to have a huge concept of the business seeing as her show was so big and has managed to stay on air and do well.
That’d be ABC the one with the business concept (which they do very well…pimping out MerDer on EVERY promo when they are two minutes on the screen), not SR. She is stubborn and doesn’t listen and clearly doesn’t understand what is wrong, since she answered the question as a church wedding when fans only want to know legal status.
Isn’t Kyle Howard in a new show, too? My guess is that My Boys is done after this season airs.
I didn’t read that as the actress having real romantic feelings; I read it as her giving us part of the response (“my Lancelot”) in character as Daisy. It’s a fairly common actor habit, so take it with a grain of salt.
And yes, they’re totally going to Marshall and Lily them!
I think she’s just speculating.
IMDB her, Hope.
thanks for the advice.
Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison. Makes sense if it’s them. They were engaged IRL and then broke up while Cameron and Chase were still together. That’s got to be awkward.
Viv, that’s exactly what I thought when I read it. Jason’s gonna be imagining some pretty horrific things due to his guilt.
spoiler: half the people who post here have no idea that there is a difference between their opinion and facts.
I liked it…no, I loved it. But I respect the opinions of those who don’t and I understand why they didn’t. It didn’t answer all the mysteries some hoped for. For me, it wasn’t a big deal, but I see where they’re coming from
Doris, there are plenty of folks that aren’t atheists or agnostics and still don’t look at the “religious implications” of every decision they make. frankly, their post it wedding is as legally binding as a religious wedding is. as in not at all. the legal aspect is something you have to file with the government. which is bs imo. it’s just another excuse for the govt to take our money. and then to take some more money again when you get divorced. and then more money to change your name. and so on… the whole you have to be a family member/spouse thing is stupid to me anyhow. Everyone should be able to decide who can make their medical decisions/visit them when they are sick etc… individually. it reminds me of an episode of golden girls where they didn’t want to let the girls visit rose in the hospital. as if it was better for her to be alone until her kid who she wasn’t that close to arrived when the people who knew and loved her best were right there all along. it’s a stupid and antiquated construct.
“Fans want to see a wedding”? Speak for yourself, girlie. I like things the way they are. The situation suits the characters.
i want fox to win it this year. it is his last chance to be recognized for his AMAZING work as jack shepard and he definitely deserves it. hugh is amazing but maybe he can just win next year.
it was but there was talk of doing a new buffy movie, sans the cast and joss. stupid.
agree with you lana, I even stated the same thing a few pages ago. Its like two different lines of thinking for the shows, which I understand are different, but again I say, she made it look like all pregnant teens get their fantasy wedding.
Jason and Andy scenes are important to TB. They keep it grounded. As for the “most twisted sex scene in tv history” (looking forward to it!) it has to be Eric-related. In the Q&A he said ” it wasn’t beautiful” when speaking of that “graphic scene”. Im looking forward to it, prepared to be shocked.
totally agree ad absurdum
LOL. Shonda can’t tell the difference between a post-it note and a binding legal document.
It was about Lisa edelstein and micheal Weston on House md.
No, it was about Lisa edelstein and Micheal weston on House.
If they worked it out a different way like a contract, then why did they go to all the trouble to do that and just not get for real married? That’s all I’m saying.
If you say MerDer a lot, it sounds like Murder. Now we know Shonda’s real intentions for the couple, lol.
I love Jeff and Annie together. rooting for them but right now is too soon.
Agreed. But we already knew that, didn’t we? I mean, the woman orchestrated a post-it note marriage in the first place. I mean, even setting aside all of our own individual wants and ideas for what would be best, the post-it note situation is just stupid and silly, and reinforces how childish and goofy her characters have become over the years. I would rather see the marriage as legally binding myself, but even if Shonda insists on the two of them doing things on their super-duper “own terms”, the post-it was just dumb, and indulging her own weird ego.
@mary q contrary Although I must admit that sometimes I would like Derek and Meredith to be legally married, because of all the issues mentioned by the previous posters, I also found the post-it idea very original! Actually BRILLIANT! It’s one of the things I like about the show: its ability to surprise me, even if that doesn’t mean always a realistic approach to its characters’ lives. If Meredith was my best friend, I would probably advise her to go quickly to City Hall and comply with all formalities, but as a character in GA, I can perfectly live with her post-it marriage!
This is all really interesting to read!! The Post-it wedding has really made people think about a sensitive issue in our society and that it why it really IS a very clever show! This lady is a very clever writer and I am SURE Merder will legalise their union after the shooting and the lost baby…just wait and see. It is a great tale, not unlike stories written by Jane Austen 200 years ago. Be patient. Things will work out and there will be a simple wedding and a baby! Shonda has got everyones attention and that is the point!!!!
