My dad — who was handsomer than your dad, I will fight you — and me I’ve been thinking this week about a first-class two-part episode from the third season of Grey’s Anatomy, a show that’s made a habit — almost a fetish — of noodling on a theme from two or three angles. Pretty much every week, the medical drama uses its ensemble of surgeons and the patients they treat as lenses to train lights of varying intensity on the topic of the day. And in the case of “Six Days,” the topic is fathers: strong fathers, weak fathers, absent fathers, fathers who might have been but never were.
