Callica - The true Love Story (1/5)

[MsFayriteil]

They were cute in their way, but Callie and Arizona are made for each other! And Arizona by herself, is much much much kind and funny than Erica!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil Callie and Arizona are plain boring together, fitting for the soap opera in which "Grey's Anatomy" has been turned two seasons ago. For a television show of quality, Erica was a much better choice, because she was challenging the other characters, was much more complex and had more depth.

And, come on, Erica's snarkasm was brilliant - so much funnier than any funny line they have ever written for Arizona! :-)

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington I find Erica extremely unpleasant, so mean with the other residents and quite submissive with Callie... I liked her only when she talked with Mark, for her sarkasm, as you said. I'm not saying I didn't like them together, I'm only saying I prefer Callie and Arizona together! And they're not boring, they're fantastic! Maybe 'cause Arizona is my favorite charachter ever!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil Well, *my* favorite character will always be Erica Hahn. And she wasn't mean, she was just highly professional (unlike the other Seattle Grace doctors), taking her job and the rules very serious and was taking no one's sh*t. She was fantastic! <3

Arizona is a boring little goodie two shoes -- but like I said before, such a character fits better into a soap opera (when Erica came on the show, it was still a drama with a unique, snarkastic humor).

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington Arizona is not boring, she's kind and sweet and witty... I think you never tried to like her, beacuse she took Erica's place in Callie's life. And she doesn't fit in a soap opera, I think a soap opera's charahters are way more superficial than her... she's just perky and funny! Arizona is highly professional but she can be nice, Erica didn't!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil P.S. When Erica fought the Chief for her patient's life, she was much more moral and professional than *any* other character on this show has *ever* been. She was the best -- but let's agree to disagree on that. ;-)

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington The episode in which I liked Arizona most, was in season 6 episode 5... when she talked with Callie's dad... Incredibly stunning and beautiful!!!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil That was a really good scene indeed. I think it would have been even better with Erica in it, showing more of her emotional side.

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington I don't think so, because Arizona can show a lot of emotions, for example when she's touched on talking about Callie's qualities... Erica was too cold!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil Not true. Just look at Erica's raw emotions that she showed on several occasions (whenever she looked at and talked to Callie, or when she fiercly fought the Chief for her patient's heart). *nods*

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington I think that she showed really emotions only when she was with Callie... and she was more a dog than a girlfriend... Arizona and Callie are well balanced!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil Yeah, but that is completely the writers' fault and has nothing to do with the character of Erica Hahn per se, nor does it imply that the Arizona character was any "better".

[MsFayriteil]

@DocCovington I know... I'm only giving my opinion... Arizona is a better charachter for me, I don't say she has to be also for you!

[DocCovington]

@MsFayriteil I find Arizona rather annoying, although there have been episodes in which I liked her. Still, you can't really compare Erica to Arizona -- two totally different characters. One can only voice whom they like better, and *I* liked Erica *a lot* better, for she had more spark and fire, so much potential to write great storylines for her! Unfortunately, ABC blew it, so...

[SuperKomentarista]

erica taking something off f callie's face... feels awkward!! soooo awkward!!

[SuperKomentarista]

and erica looks like a sesame street puppet..

[SuperKomentarista]

cut it okay? they really didn't have the chemistry. Erica's character came in too strong. Arizona is way much better to Callie. And besides, just look at the way Callie looks at her wife now. It's like she's ripping her clothes off everyday. Because when two people have chemistry, it doesn't look like it is pushed or acted out. Calzona's body language are undeniably sexy. During Callica era.. it always felt awkward to see them. whew!!

[AngieForBreakfast]

"I like Penis.. I'm huge huge fan of penis" >> mouhahahahaha

[MegaTyte99]

@AngieForBreakfast lol, that was very uncomfortable for her, and extremely funny

[PlaidFlag21]

addison, callie, and erica are all beautiful women

[Abosh123able]

ok thanx for uploading but y create ur own story with the clips?

[DocCovington]

@Abosh123able Isn't it obvious? (I'm even explaining at the begining of part 1.) Because I didn't like the way they developed this love story on the show, especially not the way they let it end. Watch the remaining 4 parts and you will see what I am talking about.

[LeahsWhereuWanaB]

Her walking away at the start is like Az walking away out of that lift. Oh well.. it all works out.

[EuphoriaLacrymosa]

7:47 CANT STAND THE AWKNESS

[EuphoriaLacrymosa]

OMFG 4:53 gotta love that stare *swoon* *thud*

[gagauta321]

i love how erica says "movie" at 5:20 , so sweet,damn so sweet !!!

[DocCovington]

@gagauta321 It is super cute. :-)

[pinkloveuh]

You can sign a petition "Hope4Hahn". Go to Google, type this in and you'll get to the petition. Please sign!

[DocCovington]

@pinkloveuh Please, that's ridiculous. It's been two-and-a-half years now, and we all know by now that Erica Hahn won't be back, nor will Brooke Smith. Stop dreaming.

[msjeopardy24]

@DocCovington well hope she will guest in the show in season8..even for 3to4 episodes..just to make callie and arizona relationship a lil more interesting and besides theres no closure in hahn torres relationship..a closure will be cool i think..

[DocCovington]

@msjeopardy24 Agreed. But seeing as the show has turned into a typical hospital soap opera instead of the snarkastic, uniquely dark drama it used to be, I don't think Dr. Hahn would fit in anymore, not even for a guest role. Besides, regarding the reason Brooke Smith was let go, she will never return if she's got any pride in her (which I am sure she does). She deserved better and probably doesn't even look back at the travesty she was put through.

[msjeopardy24]

@DocCovington mmm..ok, ive watched the seasons 5,6,7, in the last 4 days i think so i dont really know she was let go....do you know y?

[DocCovington]

@msjeopardy24 It is an open secret that some executives at ABC thought she wasn't the type of woman they wanted to showcase as their "attractive primetime lesbian". The character of Hahn was also perceived as "rude" by many, and part of the audience wanted someone who's "easier on the eye" and "nicer". Plain stupid, if you ask me (and anyone who appreciated Brooke's excellent performance and unique charisma and the coolness that was Dr. Erica Hahn).

[msjeopardy24]

@DocCovington well if thats what their lookin for i think they find that in arizona robbins character..shes smart witty and absolutely funny..although i think firing brooke smith for the character she played is pathetic shes not the one making her character..shes just acting it..shes supposed to be the cardio Goddess but her replacement teddy altman is amazing and i love her from the beginning..but im still hoping she will guest even for a few episode just to have closure in erica and callie..

[msjeopardy24]

@DocCovington you know what ive been watching dr. hahn character now and honestly her character is the closest to reality when it comes to doctors..i dont know if you will take that as bad or a good thing..im in the medical field so i kinda know..

[DocCovington]

@msjeopardy24 Oh, I absolutely agree. Many fans (doctors among them) kept saying that, but unfortunately the majority of viewers (at least those in the "test audiences" for season five) thought differently. :-(

[HerResolve]

Erica Hahn was by far the sexiest character on Grey's.

Brooke Smith needs her show. Like yesterday.

[DocCovington]

@HerResolve I couldn't agree more, on both. :-D

[Y7FFVGcQ]

These clips are out of order

[DocCovington]

@Y7FFVGcQ LOL!! That's the whole point of this 5-parter. It's telling the story completely differently, thus fixing the mess ABC made.

[tvJUKIE123]

whats the song at 9:22?

[DocCovington]

@tvJUKIE123 Joshua Radin featuring Ingrid Michaelson: "Sky"

[Cheebyx]

What a great job you did! Like to way you put words in to it.. love it. Good job. I really liked it.

[DocCovington]

@Cheebyx Aww, thank you. :-)

[Kim4ever1234]

i miss hawn...arizona is annoying

[vwholt]

'Case a point' so funny Love Callie's laugh.

[Scazzilofono]

what's the song after callie speaks with addison?

[DocCovington]

@Scazzilofono Could you be a little more specific? Which time stamp?

[Scazzilofono]

@DocCovington at 4:50

[DocCovington]

@Scazzilofono I think that is just a musical score by whoever composes that for the show. I don't think it's a song, but then again I could be wrong. I'm sure I've read something about a website (maybe even the official ABC site?) that has all the songs featured in GA listed periodically.

[jessyka2407]

love the brushing of her thumb on her cheek when she kiss Callie. So cute!!

[Cynbad63]

You did an amazing job. I haven't been watching Grey's as much as I wanted. Have been relying on others to help me keep up with Arizona and Callie. Thank you for the work you put into this. Again, amazing.

[dasophie99]

sara ramirez is great

[pinkfan07]

I love the way she's denying she and erica being a couple.. Nervous laugh, lol

[DocCovington]

@pinkfan07 Heh heh, yeah, I love that scene, especially this version which was included in the DVD's special features. The cool way Erica throws that dart, then turn around and glares at Callie... total swoon moment on my part. *L*

[Teganisonfire]

Love it :D

[DocCovington]

@Teganisonfire Thanks. :-)

[Annipucca]

One of the best couples ever..Hate the fact that Brooke has been fired -.- Arizona is nice but Dr.Hahn was way more interesting <3

[DocCovington]

Amen to that, Anni.

[Annipucca]

:) Thanks for creating these videos,you did an amazing job :)

[DocCovington]

:-)

[LezClips]

@Annipucca Don't get me wrong, I think Arizona is adorable and it's very hard not to like her. But Dr. Hahn was way more interesting. As much as it pains me to say this, I think Erica would still be around if they had eased the mainstream audience into Callica and the lesbianism. Unfortunately, straight audiences viewed Erica as cold but really she was amazing. Such a shame they let Brooke go. Big mistake if you ask me but whatever.

[joeissuchacutie]

i love how carrie looks at 5:28 :D

[DocCovington]

Whoever "Carrie" is. ;-P

[joeissuchacutie]

oops ,of course i mean callie ... xD

[Flaschki]

Nice nice nice!!!

[kilalamoko25]

i love it ! i Love it ! ! har har nice vid you have'

[luciblue]

the opening quotes on this video are from...? why can't i place it?

[DocCovington]

What exactly do you mean?

The texts are all by me, so nowhere to place them. ;-)

If you are referring to "Hahn's" monologue, however, you will find it mentioned in the credits at the end of part 5. It's from one of Brooke Smith's performances on "The Hunger". :-)

[GreysSuperFan1001]

I FORGOT about actually SEEING Erica in therapy! Who knows if it was about Callie, but I had forgotten! Great job! I can't wait to watch the rest :)

[DocCovington]

Originally, it wasn't (it was about a difficult surgery Erica was having huge doubts about performing, but Richard kinda force her into it). But in my story it is totally about Callie. *g*

Glad you're enjoying this! :-)

[GreysSuperFan1001]

It worked!

[nicoleca0427]

wow that was really good.

[allthatIdreamt]

Wow you're great! I luv it!!!!** can you ell me where is the quote in the beginning from?

[DocCovington]

From The Hunger episode "Hidebound" (1998).

Everything's included in the credits at the end of part 5. :-)

[SleepyJulie]

That voiceover by Brooke was perfect (for the context), and euh... particularly sexy as well *thud*

And you've got a nice voice yourself. :)

[DocCovington]

> particularly sexy as well *thud*

Yeah, that sad expression in her voice had a certain sensual undertone, didn't it? *swoon*

> And you've got a nice voice yourself. :)

*cough* Uhm, thanks. *blush*

[XENITS]

OMG!

amazing job!

i luv it!

you rock!

and callica rocks too!

[DocCovington]

Too bad the quality looks like crap after I uploaded the vids on YouTube.

The font pixelation and the picture surges are quite unnerving. :-(

Must be because of the size of the original files...

[witchlesbian]

This Rocks!!! I love that you dubbed in Brookes voice from one of The Hunger episodes (if I'm correct) when she was taking about her jerk fiance as they where breaking up! Also I loved that you took the dart scene through to part where Erica looks up at Callie...that is soooooo telling about the laugh...most people cut it before then, which ruins the scene! It was great hearing your voice too! Awesome New Story Vid!!!

[DocCovington]

Why thank you! *blushes*

Just wait a few hours so that you can watch them in (slightly) better quality. The HQ version is still processing for some of the parts...

[tjf1947]

You are the best!!!! When I thought I wouldn´t see any more of them!! Great job!!! Thank you!!!

[shannon23]

Aww doc this is great.....love callica even more....love this :) :)

[DocCovington]

Thank you. :-)

Too bad the lovely fonts I used look like crap after the YouTube conversion. :-(

Oh well, I'll live. ;-)

[shannon23]

Aw shush lol...the quality is great.....you're such a star doc....it's easing the pain so far really :-)

[lstilts]

awesome can't wait to see more!!

[DocCovington]

Patience. *g*

I'm still uploading the rest, and the HQ version of this one hasn't finished processing yet, either. ;)
