Grey's Anatomy has officially jumped the shark. And it's only season 3!
Seriously, Meredith was "dead" and gained closure from her dying mother in the "afterlife"??? (good lord, anyone could see that scene coming from, oh, only 10 miles away) Where the hell do you go from there?
George: "Hey, remember that time that Meredith killed herself?"
Christina: "Yeah and then we all brought her back with our mad medical skilz"
Izzy: "Good times."
*sigh* I should quit watching. I really really should. Reason #453- I said to Dude, "yeah, but with hypothermia, you are not really dead until you are warm and dead." Then the Chief said the exact same thing 30 seconds later. Gah.
And the subway girl that kept bleeding through her shirt? Why and weird macabre humor in purgatory? Seems like something that would have happened on Buffy. (not that there is anything wrong with that, it just doesn't fit in with this show)
And the whole thing about Derek being a romantic and an optimist and blah de blah. Um what? Have the writers been watching the same show I have? He was totally willing to let Chris O'Donnell have Meredith. He called her a whore. She literally had to beg to get him back. Romantic soul mate my ass.
Also, if you are going to kill a character- LET THEM DIE! Enough of Denny Duquette already. Gah!
The only Meredith story line I have liked is when her mother was lucid and a raving bitchy whackadoodle. She made Meredith's character and weird flakiness make total and complete sense. And now they've given that whole mess closure with a simple "you're anything but ordinary". Wow mom, that's all I ever needed to hear! All is forgiven! Rest in peace, I am going to go back to life and snuggle with my boyfriend.
And there was a ginormous ferry accident and yet, ALL the surgeons in the hospital have time to stop and try to save an intern? It was just like the time they all stopped working to throw a prom.
I can't even pretend that the writers intended for Meredith's near death experience to be all in her mind because they did the stupid thing with Denny walking around the hospital trying to "feel" Izzy. Ick. I know they meant that moment to be all sentimental and sweet- but it didn't come off that way to me. And really- their "relationship" was all of 2 weeks or something, I don't feel sappy and sentimental about them at all.
Sandra Oh is too good for this show. She is an amazing actress and can bring talent to even to the most poorly written and contrived scenes on TV. She makes Christina such a truthful character. I love her.
I know none of you care, but the whole (3 part!) episode was dripping in cheesiness and I could no longer suspend my disbelief- I had to vent.

I called my mom this morning to find out what happened - what a letdown! How Dallas of them. I'm kinda glad I missed it.
Hey Jen, just wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting my blog! Your girl is a real cutie, I can't tell you how much I love the picture of her with your dog, my yellow lab has the same look when Avery takes her bone, kinda like "why? Why did you have to bring her home from the hospital?" And the milk jug picture is precious! On the subject of my girl's hair, it's a double edged sword! I've had to do her hair practically since the day she was born, torture to get a 5 month old to sit still while I'm putting a ponytail in,,, you just can't reason with them to sit still! Good luck on your little one walking, mine still is being as stubborn as all get-out!
