It’s been two years but I am back with some Grey’s Anatomy thoughts, I don’t remember anything that’s happened because it’s been two years but I am also not binge-watching 17 seasons to find out lol. Maybe one day I’ll really get back into all of Grey’s Anatomy but it’s not the time. Plus there’s been a lot of TV shows I’ve been loving recently that Grey’s has really taken a backseat but I’m determined to get caught up again so let’s dive in!
I did read my last recap/thoughts post so I get the gist, so we are in COVID times, Meredith had COVID but she’s fine – but also I know from reading online she leaves next season so let’s not get comfortable with seeing her again lol. Maggie gets married, Link and Amelia are over(?), Jo is getting a baby presumably adoption my blog post didn’t say and probably many more things I’m missing but they seem like big things to start with.
- I thought Teddy and Owen were already married lol it’s been too long honestly who even knows with them
- Is this new plastics surgeon our answer to Christina Yang after all these years? I miss her
- Who is Nick??? I’ve never seen him before lol – apparently he was around in season 14…well I watched season 14 in 2019 and I don’t remember him haha
- I admire Amelia sticking to her guns on the marriage thing but my heart breaks for Link for sure
- So like were they really hinting at Meredith’s departure this early? She’s goes to do the Parkinson’s research? But then Amelia doesn’t leave so…idk
- I love the resident Olympics that’s so fun – gives me old days vibes
- Love seeing Schmitt thrive and everyone helping out ugh so cute
- So Meredith isn’t leaving just yet. I mean I knew that it’s next season but what makes her finally leave?? Other than Ellen Pompeo wanting a change lol
- I forgot QUEEN ADDISON is back this season omg I loved her so much. She’s iconic
- Addison bringing up Derek right now is so rude I was doing so fine on not crying. That lasted THREE episodes
- So Schmitt is the clear favourite which is fine but like show the others every so often
- I guess Maggie just isn’t in this season at all?
- I’m all for Amelia’s flirtation with Kai. It’s cute
- More Station19 crossover that I don’t need. Cool
- I knew Nick would be Meredith’s new love interest but eh. I need her to have another Derek epic love it feels like she’s been through a lot of love interests recently which I guess is fine but idk not as interesting
- I love some togetherness shots of the cast being cute. I tell ya despite the fact they’ve gotten rid of as many people as they’ve brought in, they still always feel like a family. Even if it takes a while to warm up to some of them. I know if they get everyone back for a finale I’ll cry like a baby
- I knew they’d to the Link and Jo friends to lovers but why is it so damn obvious lol
- Schmitt got too confident too quickly…and my heart breaks for him
- We really love a tragedy don’t we…if Owen survives I’ll actually be shocked
- Owen’s alive but he spilled that tea to Hayes and he can’t take it so he’s leaving?? Bro he is not the one I need to exit the show they better find some reason for him to stay
- Megan better not jump off the deep end like this show has definitely had more heartache than anything in this season I swear something depressing happens every 5 minutes. I need more good moments. Especially when this is after COVID jeez.
- I’m not gonna lie I was hoping for Jo and Link to remain platonic because it seems so impossible for us to have those relationships in Grey’s like I just need a Meredith/Alex kind of vibe again but we’ll see there’s probably going to be a lot of breaking up and making up in their future
- I hate Maggie’s weird dream fantasy about Ellis because of that letter. It’s so dramatic and we all know that everyone in the Grey family has parental issues
- Winston’s brother is definitely a scam artist
- I am sad that Hayes left and everyone’s forgotten about it 5 minutes later, but I guess that’s the nature of the show now. Oh a character is leaving? No big deal. I guess he didn’t really serve a purpose other than being Meredith’s love interest for 5 minutes lol.
- So the hospital is going to shit as the residency program might be cut, a classic Grey Sloan struggle lol. Brings me back to the days when Izzie cut the LVat – we love the chaos
- Schmitt’s mum better be okay and he better recover this is so much trauma
- Richard being high is such a cliche storyline lol the doctors have already eaten weed cookies once – I don’t need it again
- Oh okay so Meredith is leaving, she’s already decided this season and then next season is when she really jumps ship. I see. Plant the seeds now so it doesn’t hurt as much when she’s really gone?
- Not Meredith just making eye contact with Bokee while she is working on surgery on the hate crime victim and me bursting into tears omg
- Yeah that hate crime hit hard. Thankfully I’ve never experienced it but I know it’s a real thing for many people of colour
- Jackson and April are back! For 5 minutes but it’s nice
- I can’t believe they would show me a Derek flashback when I am VULNERABLE
- Oh they wanna do a whole montage of all the trauma we have been through the last 18 seasons. Great. Cool. Wasn’t like I wasn’t already crying. Amazing.
So there we have it, I have officially watched 400 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. Wow. I can’t believe it’s been that many but also I can I mean we are on season 19 now people. I can’t stress enough how glad I am that I binged this series when I was at uni because there’s no other way I would have made it to this point with this show.
I am interested to see how they write Meredith out now though considering she’s just been handed this Chief job. Also they never mentioned Megan again after her son recovered from his surgery so I guess that’s just fine now? And Schmitt just jumps back in as if his mom wasn’t injured? I assume she is fine too?
So we leave this season with some questions, but there’s already a lot of season 19 out so I’m jumping directly into that to see if we get some answers. Though realistically, I doubt it. They seem to pick up and drop things quite quickly on this show, for example COVID doesn’t exist there anymore? I guess in real life people don’t really talk about it anymore but still, I expected to see at least one person in there suffering from long COVID or something.
Anyway yeah, probably be back soon with more Grey’s thoughts, now I’ve been binge-watching it again it shouldn’t take too long to get caught up.
