Grey zone

Ladies (and discerning gentlemen), I have seen The Scene in tonight's “Grey's Anatomy” premiere. You know, The Scene called “awesome, awkward, totally endearing” between Callie and Erica. [Note: This would be your spoiler warning. Shoo, shoo!]

For those who plan to fast forward to the good parts, you're going to have to fast forward for quite a long time. There are a couple of cute, quick non-addressing the issue scenes early on. Then one subtexty, quick non-addressing the issue scene in the middle. And then you'll need to skip to the last eight minutes of the whole two-hour show to get to the good stuff. But when you get there, it is indeed “awkward” and “endearing.” I'm going to reserve “awesome” for now, just because my definition of awesome usually involves kissing. It also lasts longer. The Scene in question is only about a minute and a half.

But in that 90 seconds you get to hear them say “the experiment was kind of a success,” “I've never done this before,” “this kinda makes us virgins” and “we can be scared together.” You also get to see them make faces like this:

See what I meant about endearing?

You'll just have to watch for the rest. But until then, please enjoy something that really is awesome. The kind of awesome that sustained Callica fans through the long, hot summer. The kiss:



p.s. By the way, the scorching soundtrack to their kiss in last season's finale is “The Quest” by Bryn Christopher. If you like what you hear, I have five digital EPs of his to give away. If you want one, leave your email in the comments (feel free to spell it out to foil spammers). Enter until midnight tonight. I'll pick five at random and let you know the winners Monday.

UPDATE I: Thanks for entering. See the winners here.

UPDATE II: Look, ma, no fast-forwarding. [Hat tip, Debbie!]

Mhm. Good song, good kissing. Trade the music for some gorgeous european music that's just waiting to be accompanied by some kissing images?

I'm almost looking forward to this season of Grey's, and I have to admit I haven't quite managed to really get into it before, although I have tried. That is an awesome clip, though.

Great faces!
I like the idea of them feeling as virgins again. It's subtle but true. Not so scary, though ;-)

Caty and I have to be out this evening so we're taping Greys. Damn Callica for making me like this show!

I've never watched the show but if this storyline continues I may have to start. Even us crazy cat ladies have to live vicariously sometimes.

I love a chance to win something.

So exciting to see more lesbian action in the mainstream media. It is certainly more accessible than all of those bad lesbian movies. Yet I am still somehow compelled to watch the bad lesbian movies.

Me too! DS is the perfect accompaniment to my morning coffee.

OMG - the wait is killing me!! those two screencaps are sooo cute!!! I probably won't be able to watch until saturday because of the AE meet-up in zurich, those two totally awesome lesbian things on one weekend are almost too much to take. almost.

thanks for posting the pictures, sooo cute! god, I love those two.

thank you for your spoiler!
I'm still eagerly awaiting tonight's episode, but now I know it's worth looking forward to. =)

Anonymous said...

Yea, been living off those old vids all summer!! lol Looking forward to some "endearing" new stuff at last!

Tho' it sounds like they don't explain what happened directly after the kiss we saw in the Finale. They just broke apart and walked away?? And didn't say a word for 2 weeks( in TV time)?? Strange mating riutal! ;)

But hey....yeah, for tonite and those 90 seconds!

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the alert--now I'll know where to fast forward.

Thanks for the spoilers! I've been eagerly looking forward to tonight's episode, and it's really nice to know I won't be disappointed.
Well, let's be honest. Anything short of another kiss like the finale's will be a disappointment, but at least they're throwing us a bone...

I was just feeling disappointed after watching the episode: no kisses, no lesbian drama etc. Thanks for bringing back the magic, baby!

I might start watching this show again.....or doing the fast-forward thing. I still can't stand the whole Meredith/Derek thing. Maybe it's just Meredith I can't stand.

Absolutely love Bryn Christopher! And I think I might have to start getting into Grey's... just for the endearing faces :P

Any chance you'll be sending that CD to Scotland?

Maybe it's me. I get NOTHING from the Callie and Erica thingy. I do like the fact that their are almost gay characters on Grey's. These 2 just don't ring my bell. Whatever.

I was also really dissapointed in the season premiere of Grey's. Sorta reminds me of that other show(you know The L Word) that jumps all over the place has to many characters and in the process just makes no sense.(Also how long before it's 40 min of commercials and 20 min of story. Almost there now)

Grey's used to have great writing, what happened???
