grey's - good mourning/goodbye
Well, it didn’t make me cry.
So, Grey’s. Hi there. Nice to see you again. Very relieved to see that things haven’t changed and Lexie is still managing to annoy me in ten seconds flat with her George disbelief. (And everything else she did the entire two hours. Sorry, Lexie. I’m good at holding my grudges. And Callie is good at looking hot next to Mark.)
But yes. The beginning. I found it strangely, ah…calm? I think that’s the word I’m looking for. Callie was too upset and everyone else was too laid back? IDK but apparently I’m VERY PICKY about how people deal with their grief.
Things that did make me happy in the beginning were Derek’s worried look at Mer when George died. Also, Izzie’s phone when she was trying to call dead George. Adorably green and reminded me of a teeny-tiny communicative frog. I have a lot of love for this.
Next up on my list of notes is… (Oh yes, I’m doing this from notes I jotted down during commercial breaks. Because I’m apparently that very serious business about my teeeveee viewing.) Anyway, according to this serious, journalistic note taking of mine, the next thing to excite me was, and I quote, “HAI THERE MISTER PENIS FISH.” Remember him? It seems I was rather pleased to see him again. Always nice to enjoy a rare moment of continuity on Grey’s. I also wrote next to this “D = pretty chief.” D being Derek, I assume. The shorthand. It is confusing. But he was very, very pretty tonight. And he’d make a lovely, dreamy sort of Chief. But I refuse to actually talk about any of the Chief’s scenes because they fill me with a lot of rage, and other than him, I’ve been having a really great day. So yeah. No Chief talk. But he’s free to get run over by a bus at his earliest convenience.
Other things I’m still hating? The freaking post-it. Yeah, making jokes about it at the funeral and having Derek say it’s real still doesn’t do it for me. (Watch it, post-it. Like I told Lexie, I’m good with the grudges. I’ve been hating her for a solid two years at this point.)
I did rather like Clara’s lovely accent. Also everything about Callie always. The stripping in front of Mark. The quitting and ranting and saying RUE. Can she please be happy this season? I’d like that. I’d also really like it if she and Mark hooked up again now that they’re lovely, splendid neighbors. Because they’re gorgeous together and he totally still looks at her boobs and when she’s standing there it’s a little easier to forget that Mark Sloan is also Eric Dane, he of the world’s most boring not-quite-sex-tape. Because Callie and Mark? They’d make a great sex tape. You know they would.
Let’s see, moments that almost made me cry… The organ donating scene was the closest when Bailey started demanding to know where each of George’s organs was going. If they hadn’t cut to a commercial break just as they were getting into that, I think there would’ve been some tears. Also, Derek stopping the elevator and just letting Bailey talk because Derek/Bailey scenes are always the equivalent of infinity hearts. Also, also Derek taking care of Mer. Loved him checking up on her and her telling him that just being there helped. And adored beyond words the crying hug in the locker room with his concerned back rubbing and Mer’s heartbreaking face of sadness. I swear Meredith in tears is just the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. There was nowhere near enough Meredith, but that goes without saying, and I’m trying hard to be understanding and not mind seeing as she was about eleventy-one months pregnant when they filmed this. (Also? I thought they did a pretty good job of hiding baby Stella. Sure they usually only showed Mer from the shoulders up, but it was much better than they managed with Chyler last season.) But, in short, I miss Mer. It doesn’t feel like Grey’s to me without an abundance of her.
What else… Um, Cristina and Owen. I’m not sure why, but I’ve never been able to get all worked up and excited for this couple. I want to because they are very intensely, uniquely beautiful together (and would have absolutely gorgeous babies omg yes?). But somehow I’m still waiting to fall in love with them. This may have something to do with the fact that I don’t particularly like Cristina as a person…*ducks* But yeah. I enjoyed their scenes a lot. I just don’t go all gooey and filled with awe for them the way I do for MerDer. Or Mark and Callie. Or Izzie and Alex. Or the Chief and Adele. Kidding. Totally kidding on the last one. Hee.
But yeah, Izzie and Alex. I’m very excited to see angsty goodness here for them. Especially when it’s mixed with intense handholding and kisses with tears in their eyes. Because they are very pretty people, you guys. And now she’s not dead and they have to deal with their quickie marriage and I basically appreciate any time Alex is on my screen.
All in all, in conclusion and finally, um? I enjoyed the eppy. But I didn’t feel as wowed as I wanted. My most intense emotion was blinding hate for the Chief. I am, however, ridiculously excited for next week’s GIDDY COUPLES’ BASEBALL DATE.
