The chat in the blinds thread made me google and realized that tonight is the season premiere!
So we know Jackson is gone -- and I assume he's gone for good? I'm still bummed about that but at least I am still happy about the way he left, as much as his whole move to Boston seems so weird to me.
Apparently this season will be in a reality in which COVID is done and gone so I will be interested to see how they address that. I get it but also I am not sure how I feel about it.
We also know that Addison is coming back which I am THRILLED for. I love that character. I'm still annoyed that they keep doing Station 19 crossover shit so I hope I don't miss much by not watching that first.
Who else is ready for a season of bitching about a show we just can't quit?

Wait I’m Sorry what? They made an entire season revolve around Covid and now they’re living in a world where it doesn’t even exist anymore? Jfc.

What I read is that they aren't going to pretend it never happened, of course, but that in this reality, the pandemic is over.

I will watch until it's over. I can't help it. I am SO happy Addison is back, I just love Kate Walsh. I hope she sticks around, but not if they ignore how her story ended on Private Practice, happily, with a man she loves and a child.
I am NOT EXCITED about the Station 19 crossover, I don't watch. I always frown when they announce they're doing crossover episodes - and for a premiere episode?! UGH! GTFO

I know it's a medical show but I'm glad that Covid is over in that world. I watch these shows to get outside of my life and get into another reality. If what I'm dealing with all the time is in my show, I can't do that so it makes me very happy.

I have the DVR set to tape station 19 though so that I can just FF through to see the relevant Grey’s stuff.

I don't disagree, it just seems like it will be very odd for them to switch from an entire season where COVID is the focus to....not at all. Maybe they will mention it enough that it won't feel so jarring though.

Yeah I mean I would have LOVED it if they had pretending Covid didn’t exist at all but then they made it such a centerpiece of last season that I’m quite head tilty about pretending it’s over this season. Oh well.

I feel like I am that old lady at the end of Titanic just waiting for this show to end. Please let this be it.

I won't be able to watch until Tuesday 😭
I also find it weird that covid is just done and over for them. I don't mind because I can't deal with another pandemic centered season, but I would think it would have to be mentioned occasionally, like even an off the cuff mention of full ICU beds or something? Not a total POOF gone. I don't know.
Guess I'll wander back in here on Tuesday and catch up. Boooooo.

I guess he didn’t make an impression on me because I had to Google who that guy was. I agree - a flashback would’ve been nice. Also, not gonna lie, the best part of that whole episode for me was when Hayes told her not go to MN because “I hear they sculpt heads out of butter.” 🤣

Is the actress who plays Maggie pregnant? I feel like they were doing belly cover ups every time she was in the shot.

A couple other thoughts..
I like how they are going to go in the direction of how the residents are a little behind because f covid. It’ll be interesting to watch.
I also don’t like Jo as a blonde.
I wonder if Addison is going to be her teacher.

Me when the guy in Minnesota presented Meredith with her own huge research lab, even though they never discussed her working there

Does anybody know if the priest was on MASH? My parents would watch reruns when I was little and he sounds and looks vaguely like a guy that was on it. Maybe the pastor? I think they had a pastor on that show? It's been a long time.

When Schmidt came to her house he walked in and asked what happened. She said she went to lighten her hair and fell asleep with the product in. He asked why she didn't go to a salon and she said something about not leaving Luna.

My dog was barking when Schmidt came in and I guess I missed that whole exchange.

I wouldn’t move to Rochester from Seattle either, Mayo Clinic be damned. It’s a fine place but nothing as vibrant as Seattle and it’s 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities.
Although I love Peter Gallagher so much, so I could be swayed. I was thrilled he made an appearance.
I also loved transplant guy so I like seeing him again but seriously dear Lord do we need another Meredith love triangle? It’s obvious that she and the Peds guy aren’t over each other.

I am also glad they’re not focusing on Covid this season. I appreciate the escape.
I feel so bad for Linc wanting to get married, but I appreciate that Amelia held her ground. I love them as a couple though, and don’t want it to be over.
I thought the wedding in the bar was sweet, but I still can’t stand Teddy.

This is what I had assumed, but then didn’t they show the Minneapolis skyline with the stone arch bridge before one of her scenes? I don’t know if they just don’t know where Mayo is, and I’m probably thinking way too into it, but that confused me. 😂
