ho ho ho
Have you heard about the online petition that’s been sent to ABC and Shonda Rhymes?
Disgruntled fans are demanding “something to be done to fix the mess [the show] has become.” They’ve apparently become disheartened by “dark and depressing” story lines - and the 400 people who have signed the document (at the time of this posting) are meticulous in describing their problems with the show.
“The most affected would have to be Derek,” the petition reads. “In season 1, we were introduced to the perfect man. He was that guy that everyone wanted to find, everyone wanted to be with. Now he’s a shell of that man. The fans are wondering how someone who would always show up, someone who called Meredith the love of his life, who understood her and wanted a lifetime with her became the man he was on our screens January 10, 2008.”
(Many on the staff of Grey’s Anatomy Insider would point out how difficult it’s become to date the self-involved, wishy washy Meredith and wonder what, exactly, Derek did wrong on the aforementioned date, considering his previous warnings and Meredith’s reaction to his house plans).
The petition writers, profoundly, ask: “WHO is McDreamy? A question none of us should be asking four seasons into a show.”
In short, petitioners explain the reason for their protest as follows:
“We want to know that we’re valued, that our feelings and opinions do matter to the people who run the show. We would like to stop feeling alienated and start to feel like they are actually writing for us.”
Do you agree with these complaints? Do you think Derek has become lost as a character, or has he simply been forced to adapt to the ever-wavering Meredith? As always, discuss it all now in our FORUM.
i have heard of the online petition. i think i might've signed it too... haha
wait...
but let me explain.
i am all for writer's seeing their vision and etc...
but there s a point that needs to be made
when you write for the public, its way less than just about yourself. you have to consider what the audience wants and what they are going to watch.
and the way grey's anatomy is heading, i am considering to quit watching it myself.
and you all know how much i love the show. absolutely loved the show. but after season three, all i saw was disappointment after another.
meredith. derek and meredith. rose. derek and rose. izzie and george. callie and george and izzie. hate the shit happening to bailey.
thought that the healer in the last season was weird overkill and didnt have the impact the show used to have.
its failing. its hopeless and dark. it lacks the charm and spunk that the show was once known for.
i could care less about some of the story lines. usually bailey stuff grabs my heart, the way derek stares at meredith [which he did AFTER they broke up and he asked Rose out [[can you say rebound?]] makes my heart skip every other beat.
but now i just feel disgusted and want to shut the show off.
this is how a good show becomes bad, and whats sad? i knew this was going to happen. no good show stays good forever.
if any of you write a show, end it at season 3...no more, no less.
ps. rose and derek have no chemistry. seriously?
SERIOUSLY!
