[nostalgia] grey's anatomy | "I need your grace to remind me to find my own..."

Okay, so. I've been watching. Steadily. Savouring the freaking journey that is Season Two of this stupid, STUPID show, with its FREAKING CHARACTERS that still have the most RIDICULOUS hold over me. And I just finished the finale...

Oh no I agree, he, he's hateful. But for some reason, in Season 2, as I was living it, I loved emo!Derek. No good reason except that he and Addison and Meredith are pretty to look at as they pine (I was a pretty big shipper back in the early days). But he never really stops being sad/angry/self righteous as we move in to S3 and it gets old coming from Dr. Cheatsonhishotwifewhilebeingemotionallyunavailable.

There is so much to love about Meredith/George/Izzie in these seasons. The scene in the elevator... "You be Izzie for me and I'll be Cristina for you" is a personal favorite forever. I also have a soft spot for early George/Callie when they had moments of functionality. I'm never quite sure who George should be with, but I loved how much she seemed to love him. Hated when Shonda gave up on him, but that's another story all together.

Alex and Addison have major chemistry this season and I hated they took her away from that. I did not love the Ava thing but I get he needed to help her. I think it's why he and Izzie connect well-- they both are drawn in by people who need their help? But together they help each other instead. Major over simplification. Ugh, I no speak pretty.

Alex's development is

Derek drove me craaaaaazy during my season two re-watch. I wanted to punch him in the face, on average, about 5.9 times per episode. I mean, I love being that invested in a show, so it's all good, but yeesh. What an entitled, offensive brat! Which, funnily enough, is a description I can use to describe several of the surgeons I work with so... ya know! #accurate. Actually, ESPECIALLY THE NEUROSURGEONS!! I was only having a whinge to one of the nurses about one of our neurosurgeons today! Wow, we really went to town, that's how pent up our rage had become!

FUNNY STORY: the neurosurgeon in question was having a hissy fit in paeds ICU and being super rude and aggressive and he'd put his phone on the (unconscious) patient's bed and a text message came through from his wife that the nurse was able to clearly read and it was kinda like this:

Paraphrased:

"After this morning's 'incident', and the fact that you were losing your mind about not being able to find your underpants, I have sorted the drawer so that they are now all stacked on the left side..."

IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Alex and Addison DO have major chemistry! And I would love to hear you speak more pretty about Alex's development because you totally left me hanging there!
