grey's - tainted obligation

[morgenwrites]

Why is it that ABC can’t seem to air shows on the internet without them glitching all the time?? I think it took me about six hours to watch an hour long episode. Ugh. So anyways, I was pretty bored during most of Grey’s. And the tortuously slow pace of the stupid glitching feed did not help. At all.

LOL I was waiting for this

[morgenwrites]

Yeah, I'm fine with Meredith and Lexie growing closer, but only if they show how they get there. There's been very little of developing the relationship between the two of them, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh yeah, SISTERS!! And I am just not so convinced by that. And yeah, Lexie's speech would not have worked if it weren't for the fact that Meredith is just so freaking nice. It was a total guilt trip.

And yeah, it was nice to have Lexie as Mer's sister instead of the replacement member for the fab four. They keep popping her into Mer/Cris/Iz/Alex scenes, and I always hate that. Heh I was totally fine with the lack of Cris/Owen and Mark/Lexie stuff. The less of that the better!

Lol Can I say a big fat "WORD" to everything you said.

I get the "is he dead yet" and Mer being all "whatever" to him. I am too. I hate the guy. Do not care if he dies or live in a dumpster...though now he better not let Mer's liver go to waste...But I hated how the writers made Mer so hard/cold/unfeeling toward Lexie or the situation...It seemed so OOC for her.

The chief and Richard should both go and live together somewhere far away from Seattle. They're one and the same.

Alex and the bear had me laughing.

Lexie's guilt-trip sucked.

all in all...I'm a bit bleh toward that episode.

[morgenwrites]

Hee. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who found Mer OOC this eppy. She's just too freaking nice to act like that in front of Lexie. In private to Derek or Cris, I could totally understand her acting that way, but to just bounce up and be all chipper when she asked if he was dead yet wasn't like Mer at all. Same with forgetting Molly's name. She was on the case for Molly's baby! Meredith knows who she is. It was just all so weird and not Mer.

Basically I want Richard and Thatcher far, far away. If I never have to see them on another episode of Grey's, I'd be absolutely thrilled.

It really was a pretty blah episode. The whole season has been that way for me though so far. It just doesn't feel like the show I fell in love with anymore.

Hah, yes, I have to watch Grey's with my MP3 player turned on so I can start listening to music during scenes that are clearly useless: example A, any time the Chief appears.

And then Derek’s little comment to Bailey about how this was his “wife” she was cutting into… It was lovely, it made me go aww, but it also made me want to put my head through a wall. Because, you know. She’s. Not. His. Wife. (But Pam is Jim’s wife. Heeeeee.)
ALL OF THAT is exactly how I feel. Right down to the parenthetical aside, heh. That part drove me crazy; under normal circumstances it would have been sweet but all I could see was this way-too-smug smirk. I felt like I could almost see Shonda pulling puppet strings and daring us to deny their wedded bliss.

In other storylines, Mark and Lexie continue to horrify me with their “love” and my rage for the Chief burns as brightly as ever.
Well and succinctly put.

[walabridget9]

Thanks godness I'm not the only one not feeling ML love and going Awwwwwwwwww LOL.

Yeah, it's pretty much a concrete rule that any scene with the Chief in it will be both useless and painful. I keep hoping they'll just get rid of the character already.

I definitely think all the post-it jokes are full of smirky smugness courtesy of Shonda and friends. It's just not like Meredith and Derek to be THIS stupid. If they want to go around calling each other husband and wife so badly, then they need to go GET MARRIED already. Because right now they're just delusional boyfriend and girlfriend.

[lemonfirefly]

This episode made me want to put my fist through a wall. Or perfect Lexie's shiny happy head. That would be an acceptable compromise. I really think that if I was in her position, or any sane person for that matter, that I'd try to, you know, maybe consider it from THE OTHER PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW? Something along the lines of Hey, Mer, I know he was a terrible father to you and you do NOT owe him anything, but I know he has it in him to be a good person and he's trying now and he's stopped drinking and maybe, just maybe, if you help him live, you guys could kiss and make up. Or something like that, because whining about "I know he was terrible for you, but please don't take MY fabulous daddy away, plsplspls???" Seriously. This is our show. And with Lexie on her IV and everything. The girl has a photographic memory and a medical degree, and still. Even a layperson wouldn't do that. Even a CHILD wouldn't do that

[morgenwrites]

Yeah, I really, really didn't like this episode. I was hoping I would because it had so much Mer in it, but I was alternately bored and horrified the whole way through.

And hiring Callie back was bizarre. I mean I love Callie and I'm glad she's back, but that was just so random. All she offered was a few words of sympathy and suddenly she's rehired? The Chief does everything based on his personal feelings. He plays favorites allllll the time.

And the Richard and Thatcher hate is just at all new levels these days. I want them both to go far, far away.

I thought maybe I thought the episode sucked, because I was in a crappy mood when I watched it. But you agree so I guess it really was that lame :-) Seriously, there was just too much Webber and Thatcher on my screen. And Izzie. Just a few seconds of Derek! (Always makes me not love an episode). I agree that Meredith was acting a bit out of character when she didn't show at least a bit of compassion for Thatcher. The worst moment to me was, when she asked about "Holly". WTF? The Meredith I know would never forget her sister's name. She was there when she gave birth, she took care of Molly's baby, well sort of. Anyway, she knows her sister's name is Molly. I just cringed during that scene, because it was so bad.

[morgenwrites]

Oh yeah, it was an awful episode. Pointless, endless Chief/Thatcher scene. Meredith suddenly, ridiculously OOC. You're completely right that Mer would never have forgotten Molly's name. That's just not like her at all. And then basically no communication with Derek at all about her decision to have such a major surgery. And then she checks with Cristina if it's the right thing to do. That scene at least should have been between her and her "husband" if they're going to continue insisting that this "marriage" means anything. Ugh. I was so, so disappointed with the whole thing.

[liljan98]

And you know what's sad? That the next episode will probably just as disappointing. At least from what I've gathered from the promo and sneaks.. Ugh, so much crap already.
