This show has definitely fallen in my rankings, but the one character who never lets me down is Bailey. Her rant last Thursday was so totally awesome I had to share it here:
"I’m in the middle of a divorce. People call me the Nazi and it’s not because of my ice blue eyes. I spend 12 hours a day carving people up and I like it. I have a child and I have no room for casual anything. I’m angry all of the time and deeply confused because a lot of people in my life have let me down recently, one of them was me. It’s devastating but not completely because it turns out I like sleeping crosswise in the bed and not having to shave my legs. My three year old used to be potty trained and now he isn’t because his father no longer lives with us and his world no longer makes sense and the only thing he thinks he can control is his bladder so he urinates…in a lot of places you wish he wouldn’t urinate. You want lunch or want to show me the scan?"
This show is the perfect example of how off-set drama can ruin a show. If getting rid of George and Izzie will restore this show to its glory days, well then let's get it over with already. Why make us suffer through an entire of summer of the unknown?
It really is such a shame that the writers had to destroy such beloved characters. Don't worry, I blame everyone for this crap--actors, writers, execs--screw you all. The Izzie/Alex storyline was such a good one, and I was so anxious to see it evolve. But no, they've destroyed it for me. Thanks, thanks so much.
I realize I sound like a raving lunatic and that the stupid writers of that show will only interpret this rant as proof that they did their job, but the vision of Izzie in her "prom" gown meeting George in a military uniform is running through my head and making me want to gag. Whew, that was a long sentence.
Sadly, that ending overshadowed whatever was good about this finale like Bailey's emotional dilemma, Meredith and Derek finally "marrying" on their own terms, and Mark and Lexie trying to navigate their weird relationship. Ugh! Tonight was enough to make me want to stop watching this show. Why couldn't they let George just go to Iraq? Why did they have to give Izzie a terminal disease? Was letting them walk out of Seattle Grace's doors quietly to pursue jobs in other places (like Burke) not OK? They really had to give them all this lame fanfare? Really?! Ugh, ugh, ugh!
I suspect George really is dead because whatshisface really doesn't want to be on the show anymore and has pretty much confirmed he's not returning. As for Izzie, well, I guess contract negotiations this summer will determine whether she walks through heaven's gates with George. First she says she wants to leave to make movies, now she's saying that's not the case. I have no tolerance for actors and actresses when they're like this. Be glad you have a job--look at the millions of people out there without jobs who would kill to have one like yours. Suck it up and appreciate what you have. If you were really doing this for the sake of art or to win an Oscar, you'd be making indie movies for crap money.
OK, I think the rant is over. Here's hoping they turn it around next season. I don't know if I can handle another like this one.
Jump his bones Christina! Awww yeah, he’s smooth. Show that neck!
Yes, Callie, you right. Keep it to yourself.
Yes, Dr. Hunt…let’s not make this quick. Use it wisely, lmao!
Meredith’s not buying your lie little Grey.
She wants to have kids with you. There’s your sign Derek. Ask her.
Go Bailey! Speechless Bailey…LOL!
Talk about the Victorian romance—Christina having her own. OK, this is a little more schmaltzy than hot. Sorry, a miss in my book.
Boys are stupid…fake laughing? Really?
Bailey’s really having a hard time with the kid. One foot in front of the other. You can do it.
Wow, that’s an inspirational talk Blondie. Listen Bailey, she makes sense.
You tell him Callie! Yes, you’re an idiot Sloane. Little her—lol!
No Chief, grand gesture will scare Meredith and send her running to LA with Addison. But do it fast, she’s getting suspicious.
Yes, and split ends…lol. I think that’ll be least of their problems. Yeah, Shep, ask Meredith soon.
OK, awkward. Ummmm, this sex stuff is hilarious. 16, 12, 9…it’s like they’re calling out football plays or something.
LOL…Bailey and Christina holding Dr. Dixon. Too weird. They all look so awkward.
Bending over backwards…lmao.
I think they mixed up Izzy’s blood with the other woman. Cuz Izzy ain’t just anemic.
Go Little Grey, giving Big, Bad Sloane an ultimatum.
OK, enough of the crazy music every time we see Hunt and Christina. It’s getting on my nerves.
Why does Christina have to deal with all the crazies today?
I want your crappy babies…will you marry me. That’s would have been awesome. Meredith would have thought it was romantic.
Love that Bailey has a Bedazzler.
They’re really doing nothing with Callie’s character. Such a waste of her talent. Is the Peds surgeon a lesbian? Hmmmmm. Ummm, that qualifies as a name. Interesting…another blonde for Callie.
OMG…Derek! That’s too over the top. LMFAO! Sloane and Derek and teddy bears and roses! I can’t breathe.
And cut to Private Practice…
Yeah, he brings out the horny housewife in you Naomi. Guess Addy’s brother is good for something.
OMG…that seizure was intense.
I love Coop and Violet. I love their friendship.
Geez, just tell Charlotte Cooper.
Great, Coop’s getting an abandoned child.
And there’s the brain tumor. I thought Izzy was supposed to have the brain tumor. I’m so confused.
LOL…superfriends.
Yes, kids are very perceptive. That poor kid. I can’t believe parents can just leave their kids like that.
Man, that tumor looks big. Ummmm, parasites? He has parasites in his brain? How does one get parasites in their brain? Seriously Shonda? You couldn’t just give him a tumor or are you saving that for Izzy?
Awwww…Dell is a pro. I love him.
How do parents just decide they’re done? This is ridiculous. You go Coop…they deserve a fews kicks in their asses.
Seriously? That beach background looks so fake. They couldn’t dish out the money to film by the beach?
Oh Charlotte, just give in. It’s for a little girl.
Wow, Violet is finally telling the guys. And…wait for it…stop talking Violet. Let them talk. Perfect timing for morning sickness.
They call in Derek with 10 minutes left?! What the crap? This isn’t a special crossover ep. He’s only in it for a few minutes.
Wow, she has a good point. Maybe now that the fathers know, Coop can move out. I would think their relationship was weird, too if I were Charlotte.
Ummmm…really? That was the special crossover? Such a letdown.
Looks like next week has a lot of drama. Looks promising—much better than tonight’s tease.
I’ve had a tough time with Grey’s this season. The only storyline I seem to like is Christina and Hunt’s. The scenes with him sleeping and her reading were too precious. Love them. I wish we knew what exactly was wrong with Izzy. I guess they’re going forward with Callie being a lesbian. George was pretty much nonexistent.
Then we have Private Practice. I love the Addison/Archer dynamic. It’s very sweet. I’m glad Violet and Coop finally came clean. Ugh, I’m still upset that this special crossover event was such a letdown. Like I said, here’s hoping next week’s is much better. All I know is I saw a whole lot of drama—and that’s what I love.
I'm a regular, everyday girl who loves television and this is my outlet. Those who say there's nothing to watch on TV are wrong. There's so much out there but not enough time to watch it all. Want to know me outside of the TV world? Visit me here.
