Grey’s Anatomy: Frustrated!
It’s been a few shows since I blogged about “Grey’s.” Part of the problem is I’ve been busier than hell, part of the problem is this show is really frustrating me this season! Some thoughts on this, and the other main stories below . . .
First, it seems like for a change Meredith and Derek are the only ones happy on the show. Shocking I know! Everyone else just seems miserable. It’s not making for a fun experience.
Now that Owen is dating, Christina is predictably jealous and upset that Owen isn’t telling his new girlfriend about his amazing ex-wife. Is she for real? Of course she is, if she’s not tooting her own horn she expects everyone else too.
Christina and Meredith’s friendship is strained after Christina told Meredith that she was just not as good of a surgeon as she was, and that’s okay cause she has a family now and her priorities have changed. In the most recent episode Meredith finally fired back at her, telling her that she can have it all even if Christina chooses to eschew being a wife and a mother as second best to being a surgeon. She basically let Christina know she’s projecting her own insecurities about her failed relationship with Owen onto her.
Meredith has set out to take up an old project of her mother’s for her research project, but she was afraid to tell Christina about it because she didn’t want to hear Christina tell her it was too ambitious for her and that she couldn’t do it. Meredith was out to prove her wrong and show Christina that she could be every bit as good of a doctor as Christina is and her Sainted Mother was. I don’t understand why Christina holds Ellis up on such a pedestal as she was a pretty crappy mother and human being.
Joe learned that a patient that checked into the ER was in fact Alex’s long lost father. She did a DNA test on them both without Alex knowing to confirm it, and Alex hasn’t been happy to have found his long lost jerk of a dad. Therefore he’s taken it out on Joe, ignoring her and blowing her off. In the latest episode it looked like he and his father might have a chance at reconciliation, until his dad proved to still be a dead beat who has abandoned yet another small kid with his latest wife. Alex knocked him out, and when his dad saw the rage in his eyes, it seemed he finally realized just who Alex was.
Callie seems to be out to reclaim her life back. Yo go girl! Arizona meanwhile seems to have learned nothing, having some fling with that one intern whose name I can never remember and usually confuse with Joe. She fell for Arizona, only to be shot down by Arizona. They just seem to be making Arizona’s character more and more deplorable. She’s become the new Alex of the show! It’s funny as she used to be the one who lectured Alex on his behavior with interns at one time.
The chief has at least stop wallowing in self pity and is using his situation to teach the interns, who technically are now second year. However he’s still being pretty miserable to them.
Finally Ross is spiraling out of control over the guilt he feels about Brooke’s. He’s detached himself from Derek and chosen to work with Christina instead. Wow he must really feel guilty if he is putting himself in that kind of situation! I don’t feel bad for him though . . . I still want Brooke’s back!
Spoilers for the next two shows below.
