Hey, Where's Eric Stoltz? Oh. On Grey's Anatomy.

thumbnail icon: Hey, Where's Eric Stoltz? Oh. On Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's Anatomy is piling on the guest stars like putting rats back on a sinking ship (what? it kinda works.) lately. Dead Denny is still there, but has worn out his welcome so thoroughly that his scenes are like a running joke. Dead Denny is like the horse's neigh in Young Frankenstein. And what's with that weird ventilation fan room where Christina and Owen go to blast themselves with cool air that is then sent along with their germs all around the hospital? Has Seattle Grace had a MRSA outbreak yet, because I bet it will soon. Last night we also saw Ari Gold's wife, and Samantha Mathis, and, wait...Eric Stoltz? As a DEATH ROW INMATE? Yes, when I think of death row inmates, I think of the mime from Singles. Anyway, if you love Eric Stoltz, and everybody should, you have to see everything he's in, so here is him being Kevin Spacey's character from Seven or any other creepy/witty/cavalier killer (Grey's writers only work five minutes a week, it's in their contract) on last night's show. Just tell me he didn't have to audition:

Eric is supposed to be in next week's episode as well, which means he isn't a guest star, he has a character arc. And according to IMDB, Stoltzy has four movies in some degree of production, so let's all stop feeling sorry for him. Stop. Now.

Okay, I don't watch this show, but I also have a soft spot for Eric Stoltz, so a) enjoyed the clip and b) found the music hilarious. I hope it is always that "dramatic."

That's the first episode I watched in 2+ seasons and I'm glad "The Office" is back to take precedence over G.A. on my DVR next week. Yikes. Or rather, "COME ON! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?"

Eric Stoltz is the poor man's A.D. Miles.

The Life of the Mind

Hey guys, on a completely different subject, what's the deal with this week? No You Can Make It Up yesterday and now no Friday Fight today? What's up with that?

This is not change we can believe in.

He's been ruined for me since he played a child molesting priest on Law & Order

This is why Grey's Anatomy is truly the worst. I keep seeing commercials for this episode and it's so annoying. "I refuse to save this person's life because they're a murderer, and that's totally the kind of thing that real, professional doctors do all the time. Now let's go fuck in this broom closet and talk about our relationship for the rest of the day."

I can't even imagine how much this show pisses off real doctors.

older docs don't like it, but residents tend to enjoy it.

um, I actually watched this wanting to mock it too (Greys? still?), and it turned out to be some of the best television I've ever seen. Stoltz rocked it, much to my surprise.
