I'm totally with you on the anvils thing. Though, I do think that the eps with Gordon Gordon and Pops were great, and not as anvil-like as the others (maybe because they seemed to be contributing to the eventually-getting-together story arc).

And I also want her clothes, and jewelry. (btw, she was a doctor in My Sister's Keeper, and it was kinda cool, but weird, cuz the doc, who wasn't around for long, was pretty much Brennan, but with an MD instead)
