Don’t You Dare Diss My “Grey’s Anatomy”
ABC, Thursday nights at 9/8c, the absolute best TV show to hit the airwaves is on. I hope your catching it and enjoying the drama unfold.
Critics are all over this show all the time and if you listen to them you’d think that this show is over. That special spark is gone, but the truth of the matter is perhaps for newer viewers the show might not be as fun to watch for those of us who have stuck around from episode 1.
This show depends on viewers who have been an avid fan from the beginning. This is the most realistic portrayal, in my opinion, of real life. This show does not just make storylines disappear, they return when you least expect it. So a plotpoint that came up in Season 1 – Episode 5 may come back now… that’s just remarkable television in my mind.
It may make for a bore if you haven’t kept up with it. “The West Wing” was fantastic at doing this as well.
So with that all said next time you see a critic bash my show, you have the right to turn the channel or tear up the magazine.
Season 5 is sad to me. Makes me realize that there is only about 2 and half more seasons left in this incredible show. Here are some of the most interesting notes to mention about this season:
*Dr. Owen and Christina – So excited to see where this goes. (I still miss Christina and Burke)
*Izzie, Alex & Denny – From like episode three of season 1, I thought the best pairing on the show would be Alex and Izzie rather than Derek (AKA McDreamy) and Merideth. I just always thought they had a special spark that should be explored and while I watched there storyline unfold, Derek and Merideth’s relationship was a shocking, refreshing piece of business. I then strayed away from Alex and Izzie and I’m so glad they are back together.
*Hahn and Torres – I was disappointed that they discontinued the lesbian storyline between Dr. Hahn and Dr. Torres, but not because of the lesbian storyline. It’s because I was such a fan of the character of Dr. Hahn. I think that the professional relationship between her and Christina was just so interesting. Christina trying to outdo herself and Hahn learning how to become a teacher was fascinating.
*George and Lexie – Match made in heaven, really I think so, but I’m disappointed that they are not exploring George’s challenges at being a resident with interns. They briefly showed it early in the season where the interns were stepping all over him and they’ve dropped it right now. They need to focus on George’s character. In the past few episodes they have given him a lot less airtime. Disappointing.
*Chief and Chief – I love Chief Weber and Chief Bailey, awesome characters and they don’t have to do much to make me enjoy their characters. The big chief is struggling with being a #12 hospital and Bailey, who IS this show, is trying her best to help him out and find her place. She’s a wife, a mother and very successful surgeon.
Oh, I could gush more about my show. Am I disappointed with some places where the show has gone… absolutely, but I’m allowed to say that as a committed fan. The best thing about this show is it surprises you when you least expect it, and I LOVE THIS SHOW!
