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!
