Testing 1, 2, 3--Review

This thing between us. . .it's over.

That's what I want to tell Shonda.  Because I really believe that she is less invested in her show than I am.  Drama is a love triangle.  There's the author/playwright/writing team.  There are the actors.  And, the part Shonda has forgotten, the audience.

The writers have a responsibility, from the time the

Okay, I just listened to the podcast and I'm feeling loads better about them. Shonda Rhimes comes straight out and says Derek's a man with many insecurities, but his biggest fear is that Meredith will leave him. If that's really still his biggest fear, there's lots of hope yet.

I can't decide whether to listen to the podcast or not. I've heard that it's very frustrating. I'll probably listen on Thursday, when my frustration will be short-lived. (Until it starts all over again at 10:12pm)

That's funny because I had heard the same thing and held off on listening for that reason. But I thought it was quite a good podcast. They talked about every character and every plot development, and spent time on both Meredith and Derek explaining their issues.

But don't they try to get you to sympathize with Derek? Say it's all Meredith's fault, that she should have let him in

[maigray]

Gosh no - they never say anything about it being all Meredith's fault. Nothing I recall anyway. They spend a lot of time on Meredith and sympathizing with her.

You have talked me into it--I have to clean up the kitchen & will listen as I clean. If it depresses me to the point at which I will have to write a DMC meeting, you will have only yourself to blame.

(Derek will have to be a horrible wretched ass for me to do that, and he's only got next week to do so. Don't worry. I'm in charge of them after next week, at least in my fic.)
