Stars:
Keanu Reeves as Ted "Theodore" Logan
Alex Winter as Bill S. Preston
George Carlin as Rufus
Terry Camilleri as Napoleon
Dan Shor as Billy the Kid
Plot:
History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell....
Time flies when you're having fun. Party on dudes!
Ted "Theodore" Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston Esquire (Winter) won't graduate if they don't do well in their history presentation. This would be both bogus and uncool! A dude called Rufus comes from the future in a telephone box to help them, as their lives are important to the future of mankind! The two jump in and out of different ease, collecting historical figures (from Socrates to Billy the Kid), confronting then with West Coast culture and generally being excellent!

My Thoughts:
A fun light-hearted comedy which plays nicely with time-travel. Making things appear because they decide to put it there in the future 
Meeting themselves in the beginning to show them, that time-travel is real
George Carlin is great as Rufus. "Volle Kanne, Hoschi!" (this is how "Party on, dude!" was translated in the German version and became a catchphrase for a while here in Germany). Alex Winter always reminds me of Michael Schumacher

My Thoughts:
This one is a good story that I enjoyed quite a bit. Sure I found it to be a bit on the predictable side... but they still made it work. I liked that they portrayed the kid as smart and knew how to take care of himself out in the wilderness. But at the same time making Yellow essential to the story. Definitely worth the time put in to watch.

Grey's Anatomy Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd
17. Some Kind Of Miracle
As Burke, Richard and Bailey feverishly work to revive her, Meredith interacts with some ghosts from her past. Alex's pregnant patient awakens, unable to remember anything and under the impression that Alex is her husband. Derek angrily confronts Meredith's mother, Ellis, who may be the only person in the world who can save Meredith.
My Thoughts:
This episode pretty much concludes the disaster storyline. And once again... an excellent episode. I still don't know for sure how I feel about the whole after-life/dream-type thing they did with Meredith... but I must admit... it was better then what I expected from the end of the last episode... so I guess it did work. Though it did seem pretty obvious how it would end up early on into the episode.
My Rating:
18. Scars And Souvenirs
Burke is troubled when Cristina's old flame Marlowe, a renowned surgeon, visits Seattle Grace. Richard relates to a Korean War veteran with some shrapnel still lodged in his shoulder. A fuse is blown when Meredith invites her father and his wife to dinner. Callie kicks George out after a huge argument and he awakens to a surprise the next morning.
My Thoughts:
This is really an average episode. It seemed a bit slow to me. Nothing special about the medical cases and even the personal life stuff was kinda blah. Felt like no more then a filler episode to me.
My Rating:
19. My Favorite Mistake
A hungover George has no memory of the night before, and must pull himself together to meet his new father-in-law. With Marlowe on board at Seattle Grace, the staff goes all out to impress him in hopes of getting Richard's job. Alex helps his Jane Doe pick out a new face for her reconstructive surgery, and luie and Cristina volunteer to work at the free clinic to avoid seeing George and Burke.
My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. Once again mostly centering around the personal lives of the surgeons.
My Rating:
20. Time After Time
Alex finds himself becoming more attached to Jane Doe. Izzie faces her past and finds comfort in George, while Meredith and Derek question their own relationship status. Cristina resolves to fight for her relationship with Burke - despite her past with Marlowe.
My Thoughts:
Pretty much more of the same as the above episode. Though I must admit I do like this new storyline about the daughter of Izzie's that she has been keeping secret from most of her friends.
