I don't know how much you follow Grey's. The big disappointment this season was the way Alex Karev was written off the show in the spring, after the actor playing the part, Justin Chambers, left in the fall. They spent six or seven episodes being evasive about where he was, and then they had this incredibly terrible episode in which he wrote letters to the rest of the cast explaining that he had left because his ex-wife from ten seasons ago had unfrozen his sperm from twelve seasons ago and had his children, and he had just found out. There was very little footage to support this narrative, because Chambers seems to have only agreed to do voiceovers, not to appear on camera any further, and the ex-wife from ten seasons ago was Katherine Heigl's Izzy Stevens and hadn't been on the show since the beginning of season six. So they used flashbacks and out-takes and some new constructed shots without faces to try to represent the story, but it really, really didn't work..
And I was sort of wondering if I could use pregnant!Katherine Heigl from knocked up to sort of fill in the missing visuals from that terrible Season 16 episode, but I flipped back through the movie and she gives birth at the very end of the movie and so you see very little of her interacting with children, or anything that I was looking for.
Oh, but this was actually helpful to type out! I realize I've been trying to think of how to use the vid to fix Alex's storyline, and the source in Knocked Up is no good for that, but I think maybe I could use it to tell the story of Izzy after she leaves the show, which is a different vid idea altogether but it might be interesting.
