Grey's Anatomy RANT
There are very few shows that I actually watch for year after year. (and I'm talking shows that had more than 3 seasons) Buffy. Angel. Charmed. Supernatural, but I am still a season behind. I can think of few others. I loved One Tree Hill, but hated it when the main character Lucas and Peyton left. So I stopped watching it. I loved ER, but once the powers that be killed Carter's child, I was done. I stopped watching it. I love Criminal Minds but when they removed JJ and Prentiss I stopped watching it. (Now I need to play catch up since they came back...well even though Prentiss is gone again. At least it was on that actresses terms this time).
Grey's Anatomy. I have stuck through Grey's Anatomy year after year. Even when they do stupid stuff like shock asystole (which only nurses or medical people like me would know you do NOT do). Even when their storylines are so cringeworthy that I can't stand it--like Denny's ghost. I have still remained a faithful fangirl. But last night's finale not only brought me to tears, it royally pissed me off. To the point that I think I am going to stop watching.
My very favorite person on this show has been Lexie Grey for a long time. She's funny, quirky and remembers everything. She fell in love with Mark and they had a once in a lifetime love type of relationship. I was pissed when Shonda broke them up...TWICE...but kept watching for the chance that they would get back together. THEY are the couple that I watch for. Not Meredith and Derek. The writer has promised us Mark and Lexie would reconcile, but she has a sick sense of humor. They reconcile...two seconds before LEXIE DIED! I mean, seriously?? I hate you Shonda Rimes (the writer).
The finale was horrible. I understand that the actors have only recently renewed contracts and the writer left the ending open for anyone to die like that because of it. I understand that she didn't know who would stay. But to kill a much loved character...and my favorite character (yes I do realize how selfish that is for me to say). Who the hell does Shonda think she is--Joss Whedon?? Pfft.
Yes, for those of you that think I'm nuts, I realize it is a fictional show. I realize that these are just characters portrayed by actors. But I have still invested 5-8 years of my life in these characters and it doesn't make it better. I sobbed like a little girl. I sobbed again harder today when I rewatched that scene again.
The best part of the finale last night was Cristina. And the prospect that Avery is leaving. I wish it was April, but Avery will do. Cristina was a bad ass last night. Which is why she is my second favorite character on that show.
