GREY'S - New Pictures

[helen_halliwell]

Little tiny theory about Grey's, because I just saw these new promo pictures for episode 7X07 and I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Mostly, I'd like to know why Lexie Grey's faces always BREAK MY HEART.

Hmmm... yes. SO MUCH TO SPECULATE ON!!!

And you're right with your Watch the shot not even be in the show comment, because I've had that happen to me on NUMEROUS occasions already this season :(

Also, the A/L/A triangle came from an ENews spoiler. I think it has now been refuted. BUT, you never can trust the spoiler people (or the freaking writers for that matter!!).

I also think the A/A thing is weird. But I also think I'm in the minority by saying I don't think it NEEDED TO BE WEIRD. I feel the weirdness is a result of incredibly lazy writing, inconsistent character development and a complete lack of any better ideas... Which is very sad.

LAZY WRITING? ON GREY'S? HA! (sarcasm)

I agree, A/A COULD be very interesting and neat to watch. I think I'm just worried because of how they've "developed" (ha!) everything else so far this season.

At this point, I feel cheated by what they appear to be doing. It seems they're sticking April with Alex and Jackson with Teddy (assuming that happens...) because WHO ELSE IS THERE?! And that's what's disappointing about it, I guess. It doesn't feel genuine and it hasn't even happened yet.

Haha! Yes! If they were intent on Alex/April from the beginning then I think they should've scrapped the April is a virgin storyline in favour of something that actually gave some depth to their relationship.

I'm still fixated by the fact that April tripped over Reed and then freaked out too much (understandably) to be able to figure out a blood trail led to the elevator and hence, Alex was in there for longer than he probably needed to be. Also, they both saw Reed, that's a pretty powerful connection. But, I think the writers will skip all of that potential common ground in favour of something MUCH easier (read: lazier!) to write... ie. a bar hookup and a 'deflowering'.

An A/L/A triangle only interests me from only two (extremely selfish) perspectives! One, screen time for Alex! And two, bitch!Lexie is fun Lexie to watch!!! I could enjoy her ramping up her inner vamp in the face of some virginal competition....!

So true! I didn't even think about that...I forgot April saw Reed. That would be an amazing connection and it would completely make sense and work...

...so naturally that'll never be brought up. Alex will bet Jackson he can sleep with her, blah, blah, blah. (That seriously better not happen.)

Bitch!Lexie is fun, isn't she? :)

And I'm down for anything that grants Alex more screen time!

Um, so, if you're interested (and I totally understand if you're not!!!), I just posted fic that covers exactly this... But, only if you're interested! (and please note: I don't usually pimp out my own fic...!!!).

Alex will bet Jackson he can sleep with her, blah, blah, blah. (That seriously better not happen.) Oh, jeez!! I hadn't thought of that option. I can so see something like that happening... and then it'll turn into a high school, coming of age movie storyline where April will find out about the bet and get all mad, but really, Alex will have fallen completely head over for her... *gag*

[helen_halliwell]

Um, I'm totally going to check out that fic. I saw you posted one and I'm late to work, but it's the first thing on my list when I get home :)

Ha! Yeah, I wouldn't put anything past the writers these days....
