Anatomy Jane

I thought it was heartbreaking when Erica opened up about her feelings, all emotional and then Callie freaking out and dismissing her. She just left her hanging there, all raw and vulnerable. It was really hard to watch. An amazing acting moment by Erica. Masterly done. And then to follow them both during the day, how different they handled their feelings and then finally being able to talk to one another at the end of the day. I understand it's freaking Callie out not to feel more comfortable with either a man or a woman, just being somewhere in between, not knowing what to to with it. It's a nice story to involve in the show.

I think it's great Izzie fought for animal rights and stood her ground with Owen, never backing down. And it was great seeing Cristina getting so involved and starting to care for the pigs in the end.

The story with Tori was also nice. A good episode!

Bailey performs Tori her surgery, Meredith is helping her with it. Cristina saved pig Wilbur his life. Tori her surgery was successful. Callie tells Hahn that she had sex with Sloan two times.

We need a change - urgently!

The days of experimenting on animals are long gone. While this episode may have a disclaimer "No animals were harmed" animals are always harmed. Whether it's testing on make up, pharmaceutical trials, VW testing the effects of diesel on dogs, trials using rabbits, mice etc. we have progressed far enough with science and technology where we no longer need to practice barbaric methods that continually display our lack of humanity.

We plan on going to Mars and we still experiment with animals - pathetic...

Tiresome animal rights sub plot.
onedrumwheeler4 May 2024
LOL. Save the animals so they can die as god intended. As bacon or food for other animals. Why do people imagine animals as humanoid? So silly. So underdeveloped. They don't understand that the little buggers are not as important as we are. Seriously. The compassion is quixotic. This type of silliness is rife in society on all sides. This silly religious and 'spiritual' claptrap. The arguments are truncated and juvenile. It must be thus because they try so hard to tug at the ignorance of emotion. Its always trite when a show tries to preach. And oh yes its preaching when you invoke 'gods creatures' lol. These creatures all belong to this loving god who made them to die and suffer and eat and be eaten and now he has made us to stop all that! ROTFLMAO Deist pining and sophist dancing. Everything dies and no amount delusional attempts to save animals from there inevitably miserable ends will stop it. There is nothing wrong with using animals and people who don't harm animals harm people all the time. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Welcome to death planet! Also she overstates the value of plastic corpses as well. But the authors of the show know that.

Animal abuse
anamargaridapisca30 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Animal abuse cannot simply be transmitted like this, we are no longer in medieval times. It was completely unnecessary to the story and barbaric. The initial disclaimer serves no purpose. Training surgeries on animals is ridiculous, their anatomy and physiology is completely different from ours (I'm a veterinarian). In other words, this episode used training pig surgeries as an excuse to show violence against animals.

The doctor at the end telling Cristina to kill the pigs because they would suffer from recovery is supposed to show empathy on his part???? The pigs would suffer in recovery from the surgery HE CAUSED when he STABBED them for no reason. In addition, there are painkillers and medication suitable for pigs as well. They are living beings.

It was a completely meaningless episode, it shouldn't even be shown on TV, we're living in the future last time I checked.
