I've entered into that phase of blogging in which I try to edit everything - and then nothing that I write sounds natural or funny or right anymore, so then I save it as a draft thinking I will go back to it, but I don't. And it just sits there. It's hard being all open and honest and just writing about things that you are really thinking about... SO lets not go there, let's stay superficial and think about Grey's Anatomy. (which really, I have been meaning to blog about) feel free to skip if you couldn't care less. (or is it "could care less"?)
I got hooked on GA. I didn't want to, but I did. And it is awful. Terrible. It's trite and predictable and schmaltzy and yet, I can't turn away. Maybe I find comfort in the predictability. I don't know, but I have to watch. It has gotten sillier and sillier every week (just like Desperate Housewives). This last week was a two part season finale, and really, the better cliffhanger was at the end of part one.
I need to make a list of the horridness:
- A prom? In a hospital? That all the doctors and nurses HAVE to attend? C'mon. Who is changing the bedpans?!? No one needs emergency surgery? I can willingly suspend a lot of disbelief, but that is just too much!
- Meredith and McSpineless. I HATE THEM TOGETHER. ugh. But yet somehow we are supposed to want them to be together? They are supposed to be like Sam & Diane? Maddie & David? Mulder & Scully? The characters are so poorly written that I want them to break up. McSpineless would be dreamy if he would just grow a pair.
- I knew the 2nd week the dog was on that they were going to kill him off. I just knew.
- I also knew that Denny was going to die.
- Interns would never ever ever talk that way to the cheif of surgery. Never.
- Callie is a pretty girl, but they make her wear her hair in that asshat way and it is not flattering!
- Addison and Meredith have the same hair style. accident? or lame stylist? you decide.
- "Chosing" between the Chris ODonnell and Patrick Dempsey is NOT cliffhanger material.
Sandra Oh used to be one of the best characters on there-she is a talented actress and at least had some mystery and depth, but as the season dragged on she got more and more stereotypical as the "type-A-overacheiving-Asian-student"- Blah.
The only character that has any good lines/depth/ sincerity is Bailey, who Shonda Rhimes (the head writer) clearly has styled as her fantasy self.
Ok I know, enough already, you don't care, clearly I need to take it to TWOP. But before I do, some predictions about next season:
1. the missing panties are going to turn up in an embarassing and inopportune moment
2. I think either Addison or Meredith is going to get pregnant/have a pregnancy scare.
3. We haven't seen the last of Izzy. Which is why she got to quit instead of just being fired and kicked out of the program.

I've seen smatterings of GA, and I pretty much immediately thought, "Is this a David E. Kelley show?" Not because I didn't know who produced it, but because to me, "David E. Kelley show" means: "Will get me hooked in the first season, even if it defies common sense a lot, but then, in the second season it'll drop a bunch of plot lines that I was actually interested in and all the good characters will get one-dimensional or leave and then by the third season it's nigh-unwatchable." So you see, I've been burned before, so usually on Sunday nights I just go to bed.
Couldn't care less. If you *could* care less, it means you care somewhat.
I watched about five minutes of Grey's Anatomy once. Just enough to think, "Gosh Sandra Oh is pretty!" Then I turned it off. I think that's probably for the best.
Oh, and for the record, I am way impressed with the blinky-ness.
Blinkiness. ;)
I think I would get really hooked on GA - luckily I'm too embarrased to watch it when the fiance is around. ;)
I'd still watch over the other "medical" drama HOUSE. I watched one episode and the medicine was SOOOO implausible I could stand it! That was the end of that!
