So, first of all, the no more Sadie news? I’m very, very happy. Pretty much all around delighted. The countdown to her last eppy can officially begin now. She had the potential to be interesting given her connection to Meredith’s past. That could’ve been fun. Mer backstory is inherently fun. Especially about wild and crazy Amsterdam Mer. If Sadie had decided to, say…have more Amsterdam conversations in lieu of slicing open her own abdomen, I might’ve actually been able to get on board with her character. Instead, she’s really just oscillated between psychotic and insane since day one, and Grey’s is perfectly capable of bringing the crazy (thank you, Izzie) without her.
(Although, Grey’s? I’m not sure how I feel about this trend, but every time I get around to kinda being okay with a character I couldn’t stand for the longest time, you announce they’re leaving. You did it with Hahn and her leaves. Now Sadie and Amsterdam. Maybe next time you could try to make these people good from day one, k? That’d make me happy.)
Also, ALSO??? MY BRAIN IS BROKEN FROM ALL THE EXCITEMENT AND JOY AND POTENTIAL AMAZINGNESS . HOLY CRAP, TV GUIDE.
Um, according to TV Guide, Meredith has a FIANCE? What now, people?!?! Someone at TWoP put up a
handy scan of it, and seeing the words in print pretty much breaks my brain. My brain is broken here. BROKEN. I do not know what to make of it, people. I kinda just want to flail around with joy because, ENGAGED? SERIOUSLY? That would be epically wonderful. But, um…at the same time, I’m highly skeptical. It’s such a weird way to let slip a MerDer engagement. I’d think Shonda would keep something like that tightly under wraps. Or, you know, release it as an actual spoiler, and not just refer to it like it’s nothing in a teensy tiny article about the crossover. I’m trying not to get my hopes up because maybe someone at TV Guide accidentally typed fiancé instead of boyfriend. It could totally happen. I do it all the time. The keys for fiancé are like right next to the keys I press to type fiancé boyfriend… See what I mean? It could happen to anyone. This is a VERY COMMON PROBLEM, PEOPLE.
Or, you know, maybe whoever wrote the article doesn’t actually watch Grey’s, and just thought they were already engaged since they’ve been acting like old marrieds for a lot of this season? (Sadly, that’s actually what I find most likely. Go away, stupid logical thoughts. Also, pessimism. Nobody wants you.)
But, if it IS real… Oh Show, I would love you so, so very much.
