Grey's Anatomy


She Said:

Grey's Anatomy has had it all in the past--Crazy plots, crazy characters, comedy, sex, death, love. Grey's is the type of show that leaves you with your mouth open at least once a show right at the commercial break. Whether its a patient using a chain saw to cut his own leg off, or Mark coming out of Addison hotel bathroom literally "steaming" from the shower, it keeps you turning back.

I've never liked the character Meredith Grey. In all three seasons I've been watching, I can't stand her and wished it wasn't called Grey's Anatomy because she will always inevitably be a part of it. George, Izzie, Alex and of course Christina are the main characters despite the title of the show and I had never been more excited than the TWO times they let another character besides Meredith do the narration. Unfortch, they did not stick with that, and she has been doing them since.

What makes me VERY excited is the introduction of two new actors whom I like from other television shows. Meredith's sis and Christina's intern, Lexi, played by Chyler Leigh was in REUNION, a short lived WB show that I watched RELIGIOUSLY. They shut down production and we never knew who killed who!!! It was one of those flashback shows when each episode was a new year--it was a pretty damn good premise.
Also, the addition of Brooke Smith, as Dr. Hahn, will definitely give the show a little more fiesty-ness. Smith is ALSO on WEEDS, so I'm happy for her!

This season of Grey's is a bit of a Snooze-fest despite the jaw dropping sequences that don't usually have a pivotal role in the plot. The whole Meredith/McDreamy thing is just way to overplayed and no one cares!! The introduction of the new characters will bring more life into the show as character development has kind of sloped a WHOLE LOT during the past two seasons.

Running out of ideas and how to develop your characters--well add some new ones! At least that is what it appears the Grey's crew is trying to do. Fresh new interns and surgeons however MIGHT not equal fresh new story lines.

I haven't given up yet...
