[nostalgia] grey's anatomy | "fever's high with the lights down low..."
I have had no internet. It has been Teh Worst. But I'm back now. And, you'll be pleased to know, I have used my internet free days WISELY and watched ELEVEN season two episodes of Grey's Anatomy! Wheeeee.
Into You Like A Train is still one of my ALL TIME EVER favourite episodes of ANYTHING in the history of ALL THE THINGS and is INSANELY quotable ( Read more... )

(Though, I guess that's inevitable when there are TWELVE SEASONS of footage to sift through!)
it was a full blown SEXUAL HARRASSMENT ALERT. YES YES YES! Given I'd only said the post previously that I didn't want to nit-pick too much, I thought I probably shouldn't undo it a few days later with a RANT about Derek Shepherd but LORD YES, THIS.
That said, Grey's has always had a loose relationship with what constitutes sexual harassment and have often painted it as romantic or exciting or liberated or desirable (often, in my opinion, unconsciously). Derek Shepherd is the prime example of this. Viper in season one is another (when he kisses Meredith while he is her patient).
Mark Sloan was an interesting examination of sexual politics and power. He was often portrayed as the womanising manwhore, but his treatment of Lexie was HORRENDOUS and not, in my opinion, written to be deliberately so.
The things I enjoyed most was not having to skip lots of bits in the ( ... )

IKR. Very glued, it's very rewatchable.
I feel like I need to rewatch the season six episodes to give you a cohesive response to my parallels thoughts. It's the whole Meredith-Cristina. The interaction of their friendship, the meaning-laden in these similar scenarios. The others are gone and they are themselves alone with their men. But it's about Meredith and Cristina. Meredith running head-first into danger, because this is what she does, this is who she is. And Cristina just being there, she's not the run into danger type, but she's a fighter, and she'll be there for Meredith. Their men are in danger, and they're keeping an eye on each other's people. There's an alone-ness, an isolation, and a togetherness.

I love your analysis of the parallels!! So accurate even if you haven't re-watched the season six episodes.
but it's about Meredith and Cristina. YES! THIS! In fact, as I was watching those episodes I noticed it extends even further than that and when Alex and Izzie are having supply closet sex, it's, again, 100% about her. It's about what she wants/how she's coping and Alex is barely even in shot for most of it ( ... )
