This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.
Because I’m procrastinating finals, and because I love this show so much, I decided to re-watch the first episode of the series and got some *serious* Grey’s Anatomy nostalgia. So, I decided to write down any possible thought that came while watching the episode. So, here we go. Season 1, Episode 1: “A Hard Day’s Night”
Thoughts While Re-Watching The Pilot Episode of Grey’s Anatomy
- They look so young.
- DEREK OMG HOW IVE MISSED YOU
- Forgot Mer moved from Boston
- First mention of Ellis Grey and Mer isn’t even clothed.
- She doesn’t know Derek’s name hahahah
- This show always has the best soundtrack
- WEBBER’S WELCOMING SPEECH
- “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life.”
- “8 of you will switch to an easier specialty, 5 of you will crack under the pressure, 2 of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play, that’s up to you.”
- THEY’RE ALL SO YOUNG
- What happened to these other interns?
- Ah, Bethany Whisper.
- AW BAILEY THE NAZI

- Cocky nurses. This should have happened more often.

- Again, this show’s soundtrack is amazing.
- Three worst words ever. Time of Death.
- In that moment, George knew he’d messed up.
- TOLD YOU. YOU NEVER PROMISE.
- “The only person who can make that promise is GOD. And I haven’t seen Him holding a scalpel lately.” Yikes.
- “You wanna be a shark, be a shark.” DANG CRISTINA.
