Writer of the latest GA Epi addresses Fans Freakout
Well .. we are freaking out aren't we? I know that I am .. But this article made sense to me, I mean her explanation because I can understand her thinking ... However I am still not happy with what happened but let's analyze some of the points that I agree with ...
A GA Writer's Explanation
You can read the whole article HERE but I will only address certain things here ...
Meredith has pretty much lost her mom to alzheimers. And here’s what I think about her Dad: I think that for 20 years, Meredith has, somewhere in the deepest part of her psyche, held on to the fantasy that her dad is out there, just waiting to love her. I think she thinks that when she finally makes the effort to know him, he will open his arms, and open his heart and apologize for leaving and just love her like crazy. The news of Ellis’ affair was the opportunity Meredith had needed to finally forgive him enough to approach him. She gathered what had to be a HUGE amount of courage to knock on his door…
And then the fantasy died.
Because Thatcher didn’t throw open his arms. He didn’t apologize. He didn’t invite her in. He didn’t have the right words, he didn’t have the right anything. And to Meredith, that had to feel like a death.
And then she went to a bar and drank.
And then Mark made her hope again, if only briefly, that she could have the man she loves back.
And then she went home and stared out her window in a state that I can only imagine was tremendous pain and loss and grief.
So this is the Set-Up and then
And then George came in. And poor George DID NOT KNOW ANY OF THIS. He was not there to take advantage of her when she was in a vulnerable state. All he knew was that he had spent the entire day working up his courage to finally, finally make her hear him.
And, unwittingly, he said the world’s most perfect things.
He said he would never leave her (like her father did). He said he would never hurt her (like Derek did). He said he would never stop loving her.
And he was safe and familiar and so incredibly kind. And she wanted that kindness in her life very badly. She wanted to be a healthy woman who would choose the nice guy who loved her and stop chasing the sexy, unavailable guys who didn’t (or couldn’t). And even though she had high hopes in the moment that she crossed that line, I’m guessing, that it didn’t go very well in the long run.
All of this makes sense to me ... I was just saying how I think that Meredith is messed up ... I know part of that is the situation with her Father and of course the ubber angsty situation with Derek and she has deep scars and George did say all the right things but ultimately he was not the guy for her ... If Meredith and George were to ever seriously work out then Meredith would have noticed George in that way when she is happy and everything is ok, not when she is so filled with sadness and loss ... This doesn't bode well for what is to come ... but I understand it a bit better and I no longer feel like yelling at her .. Well I want to yell at her but not quite as loudly ... The writer also said that this is based on a personal experience and that while she and the guy that she hurt were not on good terms for a while, that once he met a wonderful woman that he eventually fell in love with and married that their friendship came back and that they are ok now ... I have hope for Meredith's and George's friendship and I now understand the reasoning behind the hookup but It will be a painful thing to see being played out and I do not like it one bit even if I understand it and know that it makes for compelling tv ... sigh ...
What else? Hockey, hockey, hockey .. I am very happy today ... The Russians beat the Canadians 2-0 .. the game was marvelous and the Russians just played with SO much passion which has been lacking throughout this tournament for the Canadiens and thus the Russians deserved this win ... the best was seeing a young player like Alexander Ovechkin, who plays with such joy, being so proud of winning and advancing to the semifinal round .. They face Finland which beat Team USA .... sigh, I was saddened that I cared more about the Russians and Czech's winning their respective games than I did for Team USA but I have no emotional connection to Team USA as I do, say the Czechs ... Before I had Brian Leetch(Former NY Ranger defenseman) and Mike Richter(Retired Rangers goalie) and other players that I enjoyed watching and cheering for .. I still have some but half of Team USA played like the Canadians, without passion and undiscipline .. it was hard seeing Chris Chelios who looked extremely sad and angry at his team's lackluster play ...
Now is on to Friday ... My favs due to all the Rangers are the Czechs who finally found their game and beat Slovakia to advance to the Semis, they Face Sweden, the only problem here is that Henrik Lundqvist(the Rangers goalie) plays for Sweden .. Damn it all .. who to cheer for? As a team I love more of the Czech players but I LOVE Lundy .. grrrr ... then Russia faces Finland and I hope that the Russians play ... love them ...
Okis .. that's all for now .. I needed to continue to dissect and overanalyze that Grey's Epi .. I think that after all the bombs that GA keeps dropping on us that Mondays will become self-therapy days on my LJ about GA lol ... NIGHT!
