Grey’s Anatomy, You Have Been Granted a Stay of Execution
Last week, I offered Grey’s Anatomy one more chance.
You know how when you are on a long road trip, and you need to pee REAL BAD?* It just gets worse and worse, and more and more uncomfortable. Eventually, you get to the point where you just want it all to end. It’s just that unbearable. Then you finally get to a gas station bathroom and you empty your swollen bladder. Suddenly, it’s like those horrible feelings you had are now ready to be flushed. It’s like everything is right again in the world, and you want to shout it from the mountaintops. Well, the Grey’s Anatomy season finale was that gas station bathroom, and I am prepared to shout from Mount Blogmore, “Grey’s Anatomy, you have redeemed yourself.”
Indeed, I watched my DVR’d Grey’s Anatomy finale this evening with Meggie, and I was happy to see that everyone somehow got everything together. Christina Yang truly did “get [her] groove back,” and even though I wanted to smack her for actually saying that, I let it slide. Even Meredith seemed to grow up and act her age. It was refreshing.
Just a few things:
The “romantic” make-out scene in the end with Callie and Hahn seemed forced and was ultimately — what’s that word I’m looking for — stupid.
While I do forgive Meredith for behaving like a little whiny brat for the past two seasons, I cannot forgive her for constructing a life-sized floor plan with candles. There were like 2000 candles, and they looked like they were each in little glass cups. That must have cost a fortune. Whatever. Lame.
*If any of you comment on the size of my bladder, my inability to stay on the road without any restroom break/frequency of my urination, I will smite thee.
