Firstly, what a cast! Zach Gilford (just seeing him on my screen makes me tear up, no lie) whom I already empathize with, even if his character is a bit Karev-ish; Caroline Dhavernas, whom I enjoy, even though I didn't like Wonderfalls (I actually compared Jaye to Meredith Grey when I watched it -- the same brand of broody protagonist), and more. Not bad at all. I hypothesize that the problems, if any, won't lie in the ability of the actors, but rather the scripts and direction... which will probably be very Grey's in tone, which isn't a problem in itself; it'd just better watch itself and not dig the same hole Grey's did post-season three.
I don't have a problem watching a show that is similar to Grey's, so long as it delivers fresh stories in new ways (not simply ferry boats/Denny Duquette in the jungle). Time will tell if this bunch has the chemistry the Grey's original fab five did.
In short, will keep watching for potential new stories and Matt Saracen in South America. Also, Bailey's hot ex-boyfriend. Hot. Has good chemistry with everyone. Major plus.
Oh, and Morris Fletcher ziplining! X-Files or Buffy alums = I will watch. And knowing Shonda, there WILL be Buffy alums. Exciting!
ETA: I find it hard to believe NONE of the three newcomers know any Spanish. Then why did you go to South America??
