Grey's Anatomy (TV Series) If Tomorrow Never Comes (2005) User Reviews

Good acting

[IngridNO-67997 · 8/10 · 9 May 2020]

Exellent performances in this episode, especially by the man who has Parkinson, Bailey and Izzie. Really great. And in the beginning of the episode, with George spilling coffee etc, hilarious!! He is so good at playing desperately in love with Meredith.

Also, I love that Greys use some of the actors that plays the parts of nurses and other supporting roles consistently during the show: nurse Bokhee, the radiologist (?), nurse Ginger (?). And nurse Tyler was also on for a long time. That makes it a high quality show in my book. You can find these characters on the show 10 plus years later.

Complications arise

[MaxBorg89 · 8/10 · 21 July 2008]

At last, it seems like the show is actually getting somewhere, the ending of the previous episode having introduced enough new elements to spice up the plot and give the supporting characters the limelight they deserve.

After Izzie and (to lesser extent) Cristina, it's time for Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson), aka The Nazi, to shine. In case one should need a reminder, she caught Meredith and Derek doing it in a car and spends most of her time giving both of them hell. George and Izzie aren't that happy either, as they believe Dr. McDreamy (that would be Derek's nickname) is favoring Meredith. Meanwhile, Cristina is eager to keep her affair with Burke a secret, which turns out to be very easy when every intern's attention is diverted onto a woman with a huge tumor. Plus, Izzie gets to perform major surgery all by herself when no one else is around.

Not that the last two plot strands really matter, right? Unlike ER or House, Grey's Anatomy doesn't care too much about its hospital setting (at least in the first season). After all, the premise - the ethical questionability of sleeping with your boss - could work in a lot of contexts. Thankfully, the fiery Wilson, who has always had a great sense of comedic acting (see her one-scene cameo in the fifth season of Sex and the City, for example), gives a riotous performance that make most other shortcomings forgivable. In fact, her vitality is quite contagious: Patrick Dempsey, who has the ungrateful task of sharing most of his scenes with Ellen Pompeo (not a bad actress, but she does play an uninteresting role), becomes a completely different person when he has the chance to measure himself with the Nazi's acerbic remarks, and that is truly worth watching.
