I need to talk Greys Anatomy (spoilers)

[pugz]

why can't I quit this damn show??

Am I the only one that wants Meredith and Alex to end up together?  Because I want it to happen.  Not feeling Jo anymore and I don't think Alex is either.

[charley]

I never would imagine Meredith not talking would be more annoying than Meredith talking. We are 30 min in and I am so over it.

Yes! That was the most boring, non-episode ever! I think it was supposed to be super dramatic but it was just boring. I don't care about Mer or Amelia at all anymore! 

[matildasun]

I can't decide about Merideth and Alex. I was relieved when Merideth told him she was okay. I really like Alex and just want his character to be happy, and I don't know if Merideth can do that for him.

I thought the non-talking was also annoying.

NO!

alex deserves someone who picks him above everyone else. not someone who falls into a relationship with him because every single other person in their group LITERALLY died or moved far, far away. nope nope nope.

i can't stand mer. i love alex.

TERRIBLE IDEA.

I agree. I still don't love Jo for though.

I need people to date outside their group of friends.

[TrudyCampbell]

I fully confess that somehow this is my favorite show again.

No to Meredith and Alex though! Although I could see the show ending like that and I might not hate it.

Geez, hasn't Meredith been through enough? I'm not sure why tonight's episode had to happen.

[meganew]

I fucking lol' all over the place during the previews for next week: "surviving was a miracle, but the recovery might tear her apart"

WHY? She should be a pro at getting over shit at this point! I mean, things Meredith has lived through and successfully recovered from:

- mass shooting
- plane crash
- surgery in the dark during a power outage
- car crash
- DROWNING AND ACTUALLY DYING JK SHES TOTALLY FINE
- she's lost her sister, her mother, her step mother, her husband, her friend, her other friend, probably a couple more friends I can't remember

But this. THIS will tear her apart.

Fuck I love this show

[noodleoo]

Oh, this is a good place to put this random thought: they keep showing her commuting to work with Alex, Ameilia and her random new sister. Where are the kids? Who is taking care of them? Who takes them to this mythical daycare that they seem to sit in for an insane number of hours? It is not like they ever show a nanny or any kind of help?

And are they saying Alex was taking care of them for the 6 weeks she was in the hospital?

Given how the show started, I'm surprised that I actually like Alex. I never liked Mer, so I'm not surprised I still don't. I miss Christina and George.

QFT. 

[claudiajean]

I haven't watched in ages but randomly turned it on tonight. WTH was that? It seemed like a rip off of ER. And why is Bailey chief?

But mainly, poor Meredith. Hasn't she been through enough?

[isabel]

I had two main thoughts this episode:

1) Get the fuck over yourself Amelia! She's fucking going on and on about how hard all of this was on her. Ugh.

2) It got to the end and I was like, wait, was that really an hour? I just spent an hour watching Meredith lay around in a hospital bed?

Lame.

[sydney02]

What is Meredith not wanting to forgive Amelia for? I must have missed that. I know Amelia was shitty to Mer after Derek died but I thought they later were cool and living together.

[Deleted]

Meredith and Alex have no chemistry. Noooo.

I was starting to wonder if she had sent all the kids to a boarding camp in Switzerland.

[pumpkin]

This was such an annoying episode.
I want to get back to the interesting stuff, like why Hunt hates that new Dr that came back with April, etc. Or did they already answer that and it's just been long enough I can't remember? I know it had something to do with his sister, but that was all.

They answered but I forgot why and who he actually was. It was a brother maybe?

[breezy]

I was annoyed that we're still doing the Jackson/April back and forth. If we're going to keep doing that, Jackson should be shirtless.

Jackson should just be shirtless all the time.

[laceylaplante]

I really think that Meredith and Alex will end up together. After I went back and rewatched the series, it seems like it's been getting set up in the background since the beginning.
But I have the unpopular opinions about Grey's. I hope it happens and I still love the show. Oh, and I like Merideth and don't find her near as annoying as many other females on the show.

IIRC When they had that awful dinner party, Meredith and Amelia sort of lost it on each other and Meredith kicked her out of the house.

[rockpaperscissors]

Agree with pp that Meredith and Alex should just never, ever end up together.  It just seems inherently wrong.  But then again, everybody said the same thing about George and Izzie hooking up so it's probably going to happen at some point.

While sometimes I think she overacts, I really think Ellen Pompeo is awesome this season and last.  She gets nonsense story lines over and over and still manages to make me feel bad for her lol.

[osulori]

I was really annoyed at the preview for next week's episode. I don't want another week of Meredith's recovery, let's get on with what happened to everyone else's storylines from the fall finale!

All of this. I wish I could like this one million times.

Alex would be the default choice, the get me through another night or the next few months until someone better comes along choice, and then she'll dump him and expect him to always be there. He is the eternal kicked puppy.

I think Meredith may very well end up with the new doctor (Riggs) who I think is Hunt's brother-in-law.

Say what you will about Jo but, in her eyes, there is no one better than Alex. 

But like most everyone else on this show, Meredith included, they're blinded by her - well, after all she is the sun.  ^o)

Don't forget the code black episode - one of the episodes when I still liked Meredith.

But yes, ITA, with the rest. Yes, this is the thing that will finally break her.

[mrsjd2]

I've grown to really hate Meredith. All of these time jumps to focus on her leaves all the other characters in this weird place. If I used to care about their storyline it's hard to now.

I love Alex, and I used to like Jo. Before they stopped developing the Alex/Jo storyline and started just using Jo for random whiny scenes. Alex deserves to be happy with someone who is absolutely devoted to him. And I think that could be Jo.

Meredith is angry with Amelia because, in her mind, Amelia is making everything (namely, Derek's death) all about her.

I'm not Amelia's biggest fan, but I'm with her here.,

What she fails to recognize is that while it's not all about Amelia, it's not all about Meredith either (shocking concept for her, I know).

I think the biggest issue between them is the absolute hurt and betrayal Amelia felt when Meredith didn't call her when she got to the mountain hospital after Derek's accident. I totally understand when Mere got the call, that she didn't have time to go hunt Amelia down, but after? She had hours and hours at that hospital where she could and should have called her. Maybe Amelia could have helped - we'll never know now - or even if not, given the ineptitude of those doctors - she, as his sister, should have had the chance to say goodbye to him before life support was turned off.

I won't even pretend to try to decide whose feelings trump (wife or the sibling) but I cannot imagine one of my sisters-in-law doing that and not being able to say goodbye to my brother when there was the opportunity to do so. 

Derek wasn't just Amelia's brother, either. He was her father figure, having raised her after their father was brutally gunned down in front of a then-teenage Derek and five-year-old Amelia. 

But of course, it's all about Meredith's pain. Yet another reason I can't stand her. 

[nahoku]

No shame, I still love this show. I even don't mind Meredith. I absolutely do not want her and Alex together. I love how they love each other as friends. I cried when Alex was holding back sobs when he first saw her.

I had forgotten why Amelia and Meredith were so mad at each other and I just don't care. I can't stand Amelia.

There have been items on blind gossip about Katherine Heigl returning. No. Let Alex be happy! Someone has to be!

Here's my shameful greys confession. I skipped my kettlebell/trx class and Zumba so I could finish watching it this morning. I really need to refill my ADs bc I cried several times during this episode!

[arch01]

All I could think of during this episode was the episode of ER when Carter and Lucy get attacked.

[cleo29]

I wonder if it sucks to have to play a character that becomes so self involved and annoying.

Totally this. It has always pissed me off. Doesn't Derek also have other living siblings? And what about his mom? I can't remember if she is ever mentioned. The only thing I can think of is bc she didn't think Amelia would be able to let go and would try to become hero Amelia or something. more likely that shonda just wanted to get the show on the road lol. I have always liked Meredith but her doing that was a turning point for me in seeing how selfish she can be.
No to her and Alex getting together but I can see it coming. He deserves his own thing. Not just getting wrapped up into meredith's world.
