Pilots are probably the most important episodes because they can encourage you to watch certain tv shows. I think it is very bad if a series has a already going plot so that we join lives of characters, like it has been on friends, sex and the city, six feet under. There need to be a good introducing of characters.

So my absolutely favorite 3 are:

1. Lost – because it was just phenomenal! something that tv hasn’t seen yet. everyone was excited about this show, and after pilot even more!

2. Greys Anatomy – because we see how the interns meet for the first time and struggle with surgeries and hospital for the first time.

3. Desperate Housewives – I always love rewatching it, we meet four housewives, we are being told the fifth one has just shot herself, and we just need to see more.

The rest of good pilots:

4. V – 2009 one, I liked it much more than the old one, but I’m sure it was more suprising to watch the 80s version, because it was a big step in tv and special effects, now this one is very good written and shocking as well.

5. Dexter – tonight is the night, it’s going to happen again, it has to happen. Do I really need to say anything more? From the pilot I just felt in love with Dexter and his love for blood and urge to kill and Rita. I didn’t watch it when I started writing this post, now I watched all the series.

6. Bones – It was funny, we meet all these amazing characters, Brennan got arrested by Booth, and kicked some asses.

7. Castle – We meet two very interesting characters and we love the ending. Not watching but planning to.

8. Cougar Town – Ladies and gentlemen that’s my mother. Need to add sth? Yeah, didn’t think so.

9. Judging Amy – Amy’s first day as a judge. She has some problems, we fall in love with her right away, we meet these other two amazing characters, her daughter and her mother.

10. Private Practice – I was hoping for a big opening episode like Greys Anatomy, but It was actually very good. Great first cases. Ambulance within  20 minutes. Felt in love with Violet right away.

I posted here some tv shows i do not watch but liked pilots, like Castle. Other shows I watched just to see if pilots were good or seen it before: Six Feet Under, True Blood, Dr.House, Buffy, Charmed, 24, No ordinary Family, Better with you, The OC, Degrassi TNG, Degrassi JHS, Skins, Sugar Rush, Samantha Who, Dirt, 90210, Pretty Little Liars, Brothers And Sisters, Ally McBeal, Close To Home, Eleventh Hour, Community, Mr.Sunshine, Off the map, Body of proof, Angel, Friends, Sex and the City and few more.

If there’s any good pilot I haven’t seen please tell me, I really want to see it 🙂

Okay, so I have so many emotions connected with musical episode! It’s probably the biggest event since Charlotte’s rape on Private Practice. Watching this episode was like, oooo THIS momennt, this moment, this moment, all the time! Firstly, can I just say how suprised I am in general by actors vocal abilities! Of course I am impressed by voices of Sara Ramirez, Chyler Leigh and Chandra Wilson, but I heard them singing before so It wasn’t suprising. Besides these three amazing ladies I loved voices of McKidd, I was so shocked when I heard him sing probably the most! Jessica Capshaw, that duet with Sara, oh my perfect! Eric Dane, wow, he can start a rock band already! and Justin Chambers, very nice as well and I wish we could hear more from Kim Raver.

As I always need to categorise everything I put the songs in order of likes.

1.  The Story

Sara Ramirez’s voice, from all the songs in this episode that was mastership!

I climbed across the mountaintops
Swim across the ocean blue
I cross over lines and I broke all the rules
And baby I broke them all for you

Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, I was made for you

You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
All of the friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess

No they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what I’ve been through
Like you do, and I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am

Oh but these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true, I was made for you
Oh yeah, and it’s true that I was made for you

When I heard it for the first time I started crying at swim across ocean blue, so at the end when she sings these stories don’t mean anything when you’ve got no one to tell them to you just hear these words and you just burst into tears.

2. Chasing cars

I would feel crazy If a ginger started singing to me when I’m in ER. When Sara and McKidd start singing together oh my! And them all in three with Chandra!

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

3. Breathe

I have a particular relationship with this song, as I sang it in a local singing competition few years back, still remember all the words 🙂 It’s just so beautiful, I’m glad Chyler Leigh got to sing it cause she did a great job!

2 AM and she calls me cause I’m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason.

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
“Just a day,” he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain’t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for while
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I’ll just sing about it

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
And these mistakes you’ve made
You’ll just make them again if you’ll only try turnin’ around

2 AM and I’m still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper it’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin’ out aloud
And I know that you’ll use them however you want to.

But you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand…yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe,
just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe…

4. Universe and U

This amazing scene, particular scene when Arizona and Callie sing together, the way Callie’s looking at her, oh my!

A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I’m cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me
With your child eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you’ve been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully

You know there’s no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you’re miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you

Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges

You know there’s no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you’re miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
The universe and you, the universe and you.

When you’re on your own
I’ll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you.

I am the universe and you,
I am the unvierse and you.

5. Grace

It’s hard to listen to this song without thinking of scene from season 2 right? I know I can’t. But from this episode the most amazing part was the scene when all the attending are running in slow motion with Callie sitting on bed. And look at Addison, perfect!

I’m on my knees Only memories I left for me to hold. Don’t know how, but I’ll get by Slowly pull myself together. I’ll get through this There’s no escape So keep me safe This feels so unreal. Nothing comes easily Fill this empty space Nothing is like it seems Turn my grief to grace. I feel the cold Loneliness unfold like From another world Come what may I won’t fade away, but I know I might change Nothing comes easily where do I begin Nothing can bring me peace I’ve lost everything. I just want to feel your embrace

6. How to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

7. Running on Sunshine

The part when girls start singing! Oh my and Teddy and Henry! And how Kim Raver dances around his bed! Oh my! The way Chyler Leigh sings!

Girl you got me tripping on sunshine
God knows you just made my day
Since you came around, I just can’t slow down, no
I wanna see you walk in my way, yeah

Hey just get over yourself
This ain’t too good for your health
Hey just get over yourself

You got me runnin’ on sunshine
And ain’t no clouds getting in my way, no
I must be running on sunshine
And ain’t no rain getting in my way

These 7 were my favorite, the other two were great sung but I think writers could have picked different songs.

8. Wait

sung by Chandra Wilson

Wait, wait for the dawn my dear
Wait till the sun gets here
And you will wait too long he will be gone
Wait, wait till the sun shines through
Wait till the sky is blue
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

Ooh, he will be gone
Ooh, he will be gone

Wait, wait till the signs are right
Wait till the perfect time
And you will wait too long he will be gone, he will be gone

9. How we operate

sung by McKidd, can I just say how much he ROCKED this song? Amazing!

Calm down
And get straight
It’s in our eyes
It’s how we operate
You’re true
You are
I’d apologize but it won’t go very far

Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we’ll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won’t have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I’ll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way

Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can’t step right over
Without you well I’m left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
‘Cos baby tonight I’ll follow

The way that we’ve been speaking now
I swear that we’d be friends, I swear
‘Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I’ll try to see things your way
And I’m gonna love you anyway

Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way

Favorite scene of the episode?

When Arizona says: Can you just…can you live? Can you live, for me? Please, Live for me.

and when they sing together, and Callie is looking at her with all the love. Yes, Calzona is the best tv couple ever!

Did you get from which episodes were all the songs? i remembered 6 particular scenes to 6 songs when I watched the episode and I needed to check 3. Summing up, it was one of the best Grey’s Anatomy episode. My work for now is to paint 4 scenes I picked: Arizona crying, when Callie is crushing, Lexie, when she walks on the hallway, is pushed by people, because it was like a real musical scene, and Callie on seating on that bed with all the doctors running, and the scene of Calzona singing, this is going to be the perfect Saturday.

or rather, how I get through the week.

Monday: Desperate Housewives – because it’s so good to start a week with news from Wisteria Lane

Tuesday: Pretty Little Liars – because there’s nothing better to watch.

Wednesday: V – Elizabeth Mitchel, duuh?

Thursday: SVU – because it’s the most important show you’ll ever watch; Cougar Town – I just love their friendship

Friday: Private Practice – because they are all amazing and the cases are intriguing; Bones – because I love the Jeffersonian team; Grey’s Anatomy – because these kids are my life

Weekend: re-watching, re-watching, re-watching.

These are some of the quotes I have printed and hang in my room.

Arizona: …and then I open my mouth to say “no” but what comes out weirdly instead is “yes.” And then I came back…

Meredith: Remember when the chief said only two of us would make it? (…) Alex: How are we the last two standing?

Callie: If U go w/o me, we’re over! Arizona: We’re standing in themiddle of an airport screaming at each other. We’re already over.

“Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don’t even realize they’re a freak until it’s way too late to change it.”

When there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems.

Cristina: If I murdered someone, she’s the person I’d call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She’s my person.

And sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we still hope…

And…if i get Alzheimer’s and i forget you…” Derek: “I will you remind you who i am, every day.”

The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes.” [Meredith Grey]

Addie: “Be that as it may, I don’t need to tell you how wildly attractive I am. Wildly attractive!”

Addie: “Why don’t you pick a floor and stay on it and I’ll pick a floor and stay on that because I really need a moment or two without you. Your face pops up in my head and your panties show up in my husband’s pocket, really, you’re everywhere, and I need a moment or two without you.”

Addie: “Mark Sloan, Chief of Surgery. That makes me vomit a little in my mouth.”

Addie: “No, you do not get to break down. You do not get to fall apart. Not when there is still a chance and there still is a chance!”

Bailey: ‘…will someone tell me whose GOD DAMN PANTIES, ARE ON THE BULLETIN BOARD! This is a HOSPITAL people! We SAVE LIVES!’

‘I feel like I’m moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast and I just wanna go back to when things were normal. When I wasn’t “Poor Izzie” laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her dead fiancé. But I am. So I can’t. I’m just stuck.’

Addison to Izzie: ‘Did you know about the slutty sex your slutty friend had with my super slutty husband?’

I want u 2 care. I sleep w/ your best friend & u walk away,he comes out here from NY & rubs it in ur face & still u get agood night’s sleep. What do I have to do? Oh, I know,maybe I should go out on a date w/ the vet cause that seems to be sth that sends u into a blind rage. Oh but wait, that won’t work either because I’m not Meredith Grey!’

Addie: “Hi. I’m Addison Shepherd.” Meredith: “Shepherd?” Addie: “And you must be the woman who’s been screwing my husband.”

Addison: “Derek, have you ever thought that even if I am Satan and an adulterous bitch that I still might be the love of your life?”

Addison: “Karev..” Alex: “I don’t do vagina, not as a doctor anyway.”

Meredith: “I’m not alright. Because you have a wife, & you call me a whore, & our dog died, & now you’re looking at me. Stop looking at me.”

Addison [to herself]: “Damnit! Sex. Hot sex. Who needs that? Ha ha. Very funny.” Meredith: “It must not have gone so well this morning.”

Cristina [about Addison]: “I don’t get what McDreamy and McSteamy see in her.” Alex: “She’s McHot!” George: “McYeah she is!”

‘Say, say it derek, say it.’
‘Ok people it’s a beautiful day to save lives.’

and many others.
