Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy
Because my mother likes it, I watched about half of season 1, out of order. I've seen about 2/3 of season 2, with only the last 6 episodes or so in actual order. My concept of continuity is whacked, but I've come out of it finding myself mostly "bleh" on Meredith, fond of Izzy, growing gradually appreciative of Karev, sympathetic for Addison, and madly in love with the characters of Christina, Bailey, and Burke. I thought Shepherd was hot, but a jerk for basically blaming Meredith all season for the fact that he was still with his wife while in love with the woman he had an affair with, when he was the one to blame for the whole crappy situation.
And then I saw the episode where he accused Meredith of being a slut, and I was like "Oh god, I hope she doesn't pick him." Because as hot as he is, I can't imagine staying with someone who called me a whore with a straight face and didn't even try to apologize. It's not like he was shouting cursewords and that slipped out and he immediately freaked and apologized... he said it coldly, calmly, and with no apology. When he's the fucking problem, not her. I looked at my mom and said "I don't think I could be with a guy who called me a whore with a straight face, no apology or regret. Everything else aside... that shows such an incredible lack of respect. You can't love and trust someone who has no respect for you, who says things like that to you, in that way."
And then in this week's new episode flashback when he LOCKED HIS WIFE OUT OF THEIR HOME ("his" home? fuck that), even if only for a few minutes... my mom and I were shaking our heads in disgust. No. Just... no. Why does Addison want him so badly? Fuck him. She deserves better, and even whiny self-centered Meredith deserves better; annoying though she may be, I can't imagine Meredith being cruel enough to do that crap. Argh. I've just lost all sympathy for his character.
Unlike Christina's character. I totally balked at her abandonment of Burke (I love how emotionally stunted she is, and I love their whole messy relationship), but I never lost sympathy for her, never stopped being interested in her character or hoping that she'd get over it and be a supportive girlfriend. Derek's character, on the other hand, could dive off a cliff and I wouldn't miss him.
I will never not love Bailey's character. She's just cool.
Alex Karev pissed me off at first, but I love him for being a team player, and I usually enjoy his scenes, even when he's being an ass. He's a fun character. I love to watch Karev vs. Addison.
George was adorable this episode. I like George.
I was "bleh" on Burke at first, but I've come to love his character, especially in his relationship with Christina. He has the patience of a fucking saint.
Also, he's pretty.
So is Chris O'Donnel, btw.
P.S. The Office tonight was embarassing almost to the point of being unwatchable. Huzzah! My show is back!

I have to say, I think Derek had left the marriage long before Addison slept with Mark. She seems like a woman deeply in love with her husband, I can't understand why she would do it unless she was truly desperately lonely. She says he barely noticed her. I don't condone adultery but frankly, emotional neglect trumps foreign sex. We also have Derek's mentor having both a (whiny) mistress and a long-suffering wife, I see that as telling. I hope history repeats itself.
Yeah, when he shoves her out into the rain, he doesn't look destroyed as much as self-righteous. "Looking at you makes me nauseous" he declares, while his wife looks destroyed. Maybe it’s a horrible double standerd, but when Derek dragged Addison out, I was sickened. She was practically a nervous wreck, trying to cradle in his arms, trying to say “Now you notice me,” and he just ran.
And yes, the part where he calls Meredith a slut, that’s emotional abuse. He’s already starting the same cycle that he did with Addison, the “I love yous” followed by emotional abuse or neglect, each time less of the first and more of the second. Run, Meredith, marry the vet and put your neuroticism into something useful, like if dinner is on the table.
Burke and Christina are adorable, and yes, Burke is saint-like in his patience, but Christina is slowly morphing into a nicer person. He sees the good in her and that makes the relationship work. I hope he pops the question this season. Christina and Burke can have a nice Korean-Jewish-African American Baptist wedding (would kill to see one of those), where Burke rents a traditional Jewish Chuppah and researches all the minute details of the kosher wedding, and Christina insists on getting married in a pair of blue scrubs and her white lab-coat, and Christina’s mother insists on running everything, driving our poor bride to the liquor bar far too early and Burke’s parents wondering why they deserve to have their famous son subjected to such snark and madness…yeah, that would be fun.
