[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 19297, member: 3353"] Huh. For anyone who read my first post this morning? I did not read page two of this thread before I posted. It's just going to be one of those days, I guess! Anyway, so Kyle Chandler is the bomb man? His character and Meredith's were portrayed as not liking one another ~ and yet, it was the bomb man who told Meredith to envision someone else in his place ~ someone whose belief in her would help her to be stronger. And now, he will be part of Meredith's death scene, so many months later. What an interesting twist. And why would Denny be part of Meredith's spiritual awakening? So, we are thinking it may be Addison who dies.... She HAS been pretty much written out, except for the potential heat between herself and the intern ~ and I do see that actress in some other places, now. So maybe you are right about that. Here is an interesting thing that happened to me after watching those two episodes last Friday. I wanted a Derek in my own life. I began thinking about what it would be like, to have someone who believed I was strong, and could do anything, and supported me in what I was doing. (husband is extremely traditional. If I would just sit here and do nothing, he would be the happiest man in the neighborhood. We fight continually about whether my time is my time, or his. Those discussions frequently edge into recitations of unmet expectations. They often skirt, or fall, hook line and sinker, into verbal and emotional abuse. However much I tell myself I know what this is and recognize what is happening, this pattern of behavior weakens me.) Know what I came up with? That I should BE a Derek, for my husband. Crazy, huh? But what a different envisionment of how to be in relationship than struggling all the time to be free of husband's expectations for me, which are so different than my own. The Derek character is portrayed as fully responsible to his own potential while truly supporting and cherishing Meredith. He does not seem to judge her as either right or wrong. He notices her. That's what he does. He truly sees Meredith, and that enables her to be stronger. So, that is what happened to me, after watching those episodes on Friday. I am noticing whether I am truly seeing without judging or feeling trapped, whether I am truly listening to my husband without adding in any emotional baggage of my own. The flip side of that is that I get to conentrate entirely on what I am doing when I am doing it. Something about knowing that I will intereact honestly with husband when the time comes is freeing me to do what I want wholeheartedly in the moment I am in. Did that happen to anyone else?
