Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

This is long over due lol. I forgot I had two episodes left to finish the season so I left this hanging for a while but I finally watched them! So here are my thoughts on season 19 of Grey’s Anatomy:

  • Not Link sleeping with an intern and them them turning around and rejecting him basically lol fun
  • Owen and Teddy are back and Teddy is on edge about everything that’s so fun haha
  • Kai and Amelia are super cute I hope Kai sticks around. But I also hope they don’t change their mind about kids because I think that’s valid and I don’t want them to just suddenly be about kids just to be with Amelia
  • Loved everyone dancing making reels about sex ed
  • So Meredith isn’t leaving because of the job in Minnesota which would have made sense but instead she got stuck as chief of Grey Sloan and looked like she was staying. But now Zola needs a special school because she’s actually a child genius so she’s moving to Boston to cure Alzheimer’s? Sounds like Meredith Grey lol
  • Also Nick moving to Seattle to run the residency program for Meredith and now she’s just leaving? Is he leaving too? What’s going on, this is all dumb
  • So I know Maggie is also leaving this season does her leaving involve divorce from Winston?? Because I see that
  • Yay its been 5 minutes and all the interns are hooking up except maybe not??
  • Oh another way to be like “Meredith is leaving” burn down her house hahaha I swear this show
  • We love to see growth in Meredith not begging Nick to love her since we already had our iconic “choose me” moment with McDreamy. But is she purposely shutting Nick out now? The man moved state and uprooted his whole life for her once and he is definitely going to do it again if she lets him lol
  • We really are passing the torch to the new interns, Meredith’s house and all, it is a new generation. Do we need it though? Like yes, this will always be a good comfort show for me but how many more seasons are we going to get through before we call it quits?
  • So like…are they ever going to address the issues going on in Owen and Teddy’s relationship? Like they haven’t been good since Owen broke the law and Teddy has been raging at him. I mean she was being tough on him as they worked together, then they had sex and it seemed magically fine?? But then in that Halloween episode last season she seemed annoyed at him again and he fell asleep when she said those nice things. And now Owen is pushing for her to be Chief but still are they okay again? Are they bad? I just need answers!!!
  • Also amazed that Owen got away with a slap on the wrist for what he did like bitch if he was Meredith Grey this would have been a 10 episode plot line or some shit. Or he would’ve been written out. I’m amazed he’s still around lol
  • This season I feel like every patient they have is dying and I hate it. Like all the people we are routing for all gone, the author, the football player, the woman Bailey and Addison were trying to transport for an abortion like…its so depressing. Worse than the COVID season
  • I haven’t learnt any of the interns names and I know it’s going to take a while to know them but I was rooting for Amelia’s nephew and your other girl to get together, but naturally the fiance shows up and ruins everything lol. It’s never easy
  • I am actually surprised Jo and Link didn’t immediately get together to be honest, but it looks like that’s growing.
  • So Owen gets his medical license back just like that, cool. Maybe he is the new Meredith, he’s getting away with a huge illegal thing with nothing and is back to practicing medicine like nothing ever happened. Oh and him and Teddy seem totally fine now?
  • The focus on abortions and Addison this season is really hitting hard. I mean it’s just a reminder that this is something going on in real life and it’s just as ridiculous. I hate it, I hate that it’s not just a fictional plotline made up. And in a perfect world, Addison alone would be able to make abortion legal worldwide because she’s an icon but we don’t live in that world.
  • It’s been a few months and I forgot I still had two episodes left of this season to watch. Oops.
  • Okay so we all knew that Simone was not going to marry that guy and was going to get with Lucas. She just took a really long time getting there lol
  • When I saw everyone getting on Katherine’s private jet and the turbulence started going I started getting trauma flashbacks to the last time so many doctors were on a plane together. I don’t need that again. RIP Mark, Lexie and Arizona’s leg lol
  • So Kwan has went rogue and resuscitated Maxine who had a DNR…yikes. It’s not the first time an intern has done something stupid. I hope Maxine is okay though she was really nice, I understand why Kwan would want to save her life but yeah…not a fun time
  • OMG the guy who broke like all his bones, how could we not talk about him? I really like him. He was cute and fun flirting with Jo and everything. I mean not fun for Link but fun for everyone else lol.
  • Thank God Link finally admitted his feelings though because it was going on too long. If he didn’t say anything then Jo and that guy probably would have walked off into the sunset.
  • Well…maybe they would have if he didn’t need emergency surgery and the interns didn’t take over after Teddy COLLAPSES. Yeah the season finale really was a wild one there.
  • I don’t want Teddy to die, I really like her and we need her. Owen would be even more insufferable without her. But it’s clear her toothache was way more than that. I guess we just gotta sit tight and wait and see what’s going on with that
  • On top of that Lucas thinks he can save the patient on the table? Who is the broken bone guy – I don’t remember his name. But does that mean he’s dead?? He didn’t deserve to go out like this. I want justice for him.
  • I’m not even surprised that Meredith has come up with a completely different way of thinking about Alzheimer’s and is about to discredit everything Derek ever worked for like isn’t that just how she is. But also does that mean she’s back for season 20 or do we just enjoy this little guest appearance and not see her again?
  • I also loved seeing Bailey get her Katherine Fox award, she deserves it. Not that Maggie and everyone else didn’t but I feel like Bailey needed some good in her life.

This concludes my thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy season 19. Not going to lie, I had planned to get through the season quite quickly after season 18 and I started out strong and then Disney+ didn’t have the last two episodes of the season by the time I caught up and I kind of forgot about it.

But we finished it anyway! Besides, it’s not like the next season is going to be out for a long time what with the writer’s strike and everything. And even when that resolves who knows what’s really going to happen to the characters. Like at this point I don’t really make predictions about the show anymore, it’s been running so long that I can’t be surprised about what happens.

If anything I kind of want the end lol. Not in a bad way or anything but 20 seasons is a lot and I’m okay with letting go. I suppose I could just stop watching but it’s comforting to go back to Grey Sloan every once in a while. But yeah, for now I will go back to bingeing Below Deck and finishing my Desperate Housewives rewatch.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 18 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

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.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 17 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

So they went with the COVID storyline. Yikes.

I mean it makes sense for them to cover something like this, but right now? While it’s happening? Very real, dark and depressing. Especially when Meredith is sick, I mean our girl’s been through a lot and now COVID? It’s wild.

So here are my thoughts on season 17 of Grey’s:

  • So Teddy and Owen are on the outs, not even surprised. I mean we all know what happened.
  • DeLuca is back on the mend, that’s nice to see. I was worried he was never going to get back to himself
  • Trust Meredith to be right in the middle of the action, I expect nothing less
  • Kind of sad that Link and Amelia are stuck at home with all the kids, but I guess someone has to be, and Amelia had that baby
  • Oh my God, Jo and Jackson? Weird af, I was feeling the second hand awkwardness and I hated it
  • Bailey is being her natural high alert, social distancing self and I get it. She might be overkill but at least she taking all the right measures.
  • Oh God. Meredith. No.
  • BUT DEREK. I CRIED. I mean I totally had this spoiled on Facebook for me but I still always cry for McDreamy.
  • So Nico and Levi be hooking up on the sly. What’s going to come of this? I feel like it’s not going to be just a hook up for Levi
  • Wow so Jo and Jackson really done the deed, I don’t know how to feel about them together. I mean sure neither of them are ready for a relationship, but like if that’s what it is going to be in the end…I don’t know
  • Maggie is having a cute time with her boyfriend with the Facetiming and all, I guess it just sucks they can’t be together. But it is a reality that is very true for a lot of people.
  • My heart is breaking for Tom, I mean he is also suffering from COVID, but everyone is focused on Meredith. I know his symptoms didn’t show right away but still…someone care for him
  • GEORGE – again spoiled on Facebook. But honestly…how DARE THEY. They can’t toy with my emotions like this honestly, if they bring back Lexie, McSteamy and all…ugh I’ll actually not cope
  • Also how come Meredith was able to reach George and not Derek? Also sneaky how they threw in why Meredith can see George as older, ya’ll could’ve just acted like he was the same or not addressed it.
  • But seriously if Meredith dies this season then the show ends and not only will the virus have claimed so many lives in real life, but it will also have claimed a fictional character that I am just not ready to lose to something real. Like MEREDITH GREY cannot survive 17 seasons of crap just to die now, I won’t accept it.
  • I just hope there’s hope for her clinical trial but honestly, my hope is very low.
  • Bailey’s mum </3 my heart broke for her. I think I’m going to cry at every episode this season and I hate that
  • On the bright side, Tom is okay! Hooray! Also are he and Teddy friends or what is going on because I think it would be nice for them to be more than that but who’s to say…maybe Owen will magically come around again
  • RIP DeLuca – I am only upset on behalf of Meredith because honestly she does not deserve this. I also think it’s rude of the show to kill him off after he worked so hard to get his mental health in check and was trying to stop that child trafficker. He does not deserve this
  • If Meredith reaches Derek, she’s going to die right? That’s why she can’t? Oh God I can’t handle that
  • Seeing Derek again is enough to melt my heart honestly he’s a babe, I miss him
  • I didn’t think I was going to cry at DeLuca’s funeral but then they showed that clip of him and my heart broke
  • I’ve been crying every damn episode but like this time for happy reasons, Maggie saving the day, everyone happy dancing, Meredith off the vent and MAGGIE GETTING ENGAGED yassss we love to see it
  • Grey’s is definitely getting so real this season with this Black Lives Matter episode…damn
  • We love Schmitt thriving under Meredith’s voice haha what a king
  • So Jackson is leaving…he’s having some awakening and I’m not a huge fan of it. It seems so random. Like I 100% agree with his cause but it just seems so strange for him of all people…is it just me?
  • People have been saying Greys is very “preachy” this season and I agree. I just feel like the issues are being thrust into my face rather than handling it in a less direct way.
  • Oh and Tom is leaving too? This is sad. Honestly I felt like he was a better fit for Teddy. Sad that isn’t working out
  • And yes I did cry when Meredith came home. I was totally fine and then tears – this season is wrecking me lol
  • I am so sad that Jo didn’t get to adopt that baby I would have loved to see her have single mom vibes
  • Also Bailey’s husband has cancer? What is Station19 doing…
  • Nico’s change of character all of a sudden is so sus – like first he’s not about commitment at all and then next thing he’s just like “I wanna make you tea and watch Lord of the Rings”…sure Jan there was literally no development at all he just became totally different over night?
  • But for real how could they not explore Levi getting with that vaccine trial guy. Also love that they just kind of skipped ahead and were like “oh yeah vaccine worked Levi is fine”. I mean that could have been a good storyline.
  • This season wrapped up too nicely…like okay yes we love happy endings but like…we are still in a pandemic lol
  • So yes Maggie and her guy get married – we love that, but girl the ANXIETY I felt watching that wedding scene. Too real. We still can’t dance at weddings or any venues in the UK so that’s not it for me.
  • Meredith is fine – obviously, the queen of surviving everything
  • Jo gets her baby! I am so excited to see her as a parent. And I love that Jackson left her his apartment.
  • Also Jo sold her hospital shares to Tom?! Does that mean he isn’t gone? I mean they probably won’t talk about him ever again except in passing…but okay.
  • Amelia and Link are over? Very sad. Honestly I was rooting for them but I know that this life was not what Amelia wanted…still. I like Link as an actor – biased from his Nashville days – so I hope he sticks around. I can’t have more people leaving.
  • There’s probably loads I’m missing but let’s leave it here.

So this season was…a rollercoaster. I feel like my bullet points are not as good as they normally are lol this season was so disjointed for me because I was watching it on and off for ages. Like I remember in the early parts of the season, it was the height of COVID and the show made me even more depressed about the state of the world because it was affecting my shows too. So I had to give it a break.

I hope that in the next season they move on from the COVID storyline, but at the same time I don’t know how they move away from it like everything is normal again because the world still isn’t back to normal. That’s why I think it was going to be hard for them to do a pandemic season, because the show is officially confirmed to be in real time and so they can’t just be like “oh COVID is over” because it ain’t lol. So yeah I don’t know what they’ll do in terms of that.

It’s funny that I said I would stop doing these after season 15 because I was binge-ing it yet as soon as I started season 17 I instinctively made started this post. But how can you not? Especially with this season. So I guess I’m just going to keep doing them until the end.

As always I really don’t know how long the show is going to continue, I just hope they end it well. Like I NEED the old characters who haven’t died to come back. I need the Christina – Meredith reunion, I need Arizona and Callie, I need Alex and even Izzie. I just need like the old Grey’s for a minute and we’d be fine. Hell, this season we got MCDREAMY and GEORGE back. You can’t tell me we can’t get the others.

And so that is where we leave Grey’s for now…in the mean time I am trying desperately to find out where and when I can watch the Gossip Girl reboot because I need that in my life. Otherwise I’m just back rewatching the same old shows because I can’t bring myself to watch anything new lol.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

It’s been just over a year since the last time I posted about Grey’s Anatomy. Wild.

I originally did want to watch this season in real time as it was airing but that wasn’t really working out for me so I ended up just watching it on NowTV. So for old time’s sake I thought I would write up another big summary of my thought’s on season 16 of Grey’s Anatomy.

So let’s dive into it shall we:

  • It has been basically a year and I don’t really remember what happened haha
  • Oh the fog! Jackson and Maggie being annoying, right.
  • Well Jackson is okay, I kind of thought he was going to leave but he is staying
  • Meredith is only getting community service for what she did? I mean I saw this on Reddit when the season began but wtf. She always gets off lightly with these things…
  • Jo went to the treatment centre to get help, I remember this, I hope it goes well
  • Side note: I know Alex leaves this season and I am not impressed, he was about to start his good life with Jo and now this 😦 Not a fan
  • Tom coming to the hospital and seeing Teddy had her baby and knowing she got back together with Owen hurts me. He is a good guy and does not deserve this kind of treatment
  • Amelia is pregnant. Interesting
  • Of course people at community service would find out Meredith was a doctor and she be helping everyone. We love that
  • Alex and Richard working in that crap hospital lol fun times
  • Owen really just shocked Tom’s crotch with those paddles I am crying hahaha
  • Wow we love Alex poaching everyone, like Owen has jumped ship lol
  • Of course the website was going to publish every bad thing Meredith said, that’s smart. Her mistake was being naive and trusting them. I’m sure Grey Sloan will find a way out, they usually do
  • Meredith doing jail time lol she needed to spend some time there I think it’s good to see her knocked down a peg
  • Alex’s hospital under a burial ground this is crazy
  • We love seeing Jo’s progress she has come so far from when she went away to get help. So proud of her
  • Schmitt on halloween helping that kid with his costume is adorable. He wanted to be a sunflower. My heart.
  • Zola doesn’t wanna forget Derek and I’m crying because WE MISS YOU MCDREAMY
  • Meredith was never going to lose her medical license – what kind of show would this be if THE MEREDITH GREY of GREY SLOAN MEMORIAL in GREY’S ANATOMY lost her medical license? But damn I cried watching everyone show up for her
  • Also wow of course the doctor that killed Derek would be there, it’s still no “Penny killed my husband” drama but still
  • I actually am kind of excited that Amelia is going to be a parent, I think her and Link will have a fun time with that lol
  • MCWIDOW IM CRYING
  • Ugh they really giving Amelia a who’s your baby daddy storyline?
  • OMG A CAR THROUGH JOE’S – it’s been a while since something super dramatic happened I guess
  • Bailey had a miscarriage 😦 oh no poor Bailey
  • Maggie is being sued for her cousin’s death. Yikes. Thought we’d seen enough of court rooms for now
  • Schmitt having a broken heart I cannot. Why he is like the cutest character
  • This whole Owen proposing to Teddy thing I feel came out of nowhere like why was everyone pushing him to propose? Yes they have kids together and everything but like…idk give them time
  • Also love that they got engaged for five minutes and Teddy already lost her engagement ring lol
  • I really hope Amelia’s baby is Link’s because I need them to work it out
  • Ugh I hate that Alex is MIA and I already know they write him out terribly but the fact they gave him a hospital to run and then he just disappears is terrible
  • Also Catherine buying the hospital Richard works at to get revenge is such a power move. What a queen lol though I’m sad that her and Richard aren’t going to last :/ I thought it would work
  • I feel bad that Tom is always being made out to be the bad guy. Like sure it’s great for Mer and the gang to stand up for better treatment but Tom is a nice guy when he wants to be
  • So is DeLuca just randomly spiraling now with this random nod to his dad? This is a weak storyline, even when his dad came by the first time I thought it was a bit shit…
  • Oh so the DeLuca thing is just to give Meredith a reason to get with the other doctor guy…why can’t she just get with him anyway lol
  • Wow Nico be pulling some manipulative moves over here with Levi. I only want good things for Levi so that gotta stop
  • Oh so Teddy suspects Amelia’s baby might be Owen’s and immediately runs to Tom. That’s shitty because Tom deserves more than to be second best
  • Wow so they are finally addressing Alex being gone and IT IS THE WORST
  • I remember reading about him leaving and how terrible it was with the letters but actually watching it was so much worse like I’m so angry about this whole thing
  • Like if he was gonna leave why could they have not written it in better like before he started at the other hospital and before he got married to Jo?
  • Plus of all the things to run off with Izzie because she had his babies like I hate it so much they tried so hard to make it okay but like to me it will never be. Jo does not deserve this and neither does anyone like I think I would rather he have been killed off honestly
  • There’s just so much issue I have with this
  • In other news we Stan bailey for taking that kid in under her wing so he can go to college and live his best life
  • Okay so DeLuca is a bit extreme and a little crazy but he was right about that woman and the human trafficking, I guess it’s sad that no one believed him…
  • So Nico and Levi are over and Levi is gonna move in with Jo – I think they will be cute roommates
  • Tom is doing something shady by taking money from that rocket guy – I wonder when that will go wrong…because there’s no way that doesn’t go south
  • Wow something bad is happening with Richard?! Nooooo I can’t have this. Honestly this show is putting me THROUGH it this season, after being so angry about Alex and so confused about DeLuca and heartbroken over Richard. I hate them for all these emotions.
  • Also who is that guy Maggie was talking to at the conference and do we love them or no? I think it’s a bit wild and too soon for them to really jump into something but I guess it would be nice to have her have something
  • Oh and Teddy was in a relationship with a woman? I mean I am all for having LGBT+ relationships and I think we need more of them but I just didn’t see it coming. Sad that we didn’t see more of that though.
  • So Richard was acting all crazy because of a rotting hip replacement? That’s wild and I love/hate they resolved it so quickly. I mean it’s great that Richard is going to be fine and all but also I hate that it wasn’t a very long issue, like sometimes I like the mystery to be drawn out…
  • I feel sad that Richard isn’t willing to give Catherine another chance though…
  • Okay so I know everyone hates Owen (at least everyone on the Grey’s subreddit) but I think it is so brutal making him listen to that voicemail of Teddy and Tom. That being said – how in the hell did she accidentally call him and at that specific moment, like you don’t go into Tom’s office about to call your fiance and then end up having sex with Tom…like you just don’t lol

So those were my thoughts on season 16 of Grey’s Anatomy. I am still very angry about how they decided to do Alex’s departure. I also think it’s horrible how they kind of just had one episode about it and he’s never really mentioned again as if it was nothing, but I suppose that’s how we do things in Grey’s after someone moves away. I mean can you believe Jackson has a child with April? You wouldn’t even know now lol.

But anyway, I am wondering where we go from here, I wonder how long we can keep going at this rate, I mean who knows how long it will be before another major character pulls out? I mean I know if Bailey and Richard leave it’s over. As much as I love some of the newer characters I just don’t see it without them.

Obviously Meredith will always be around, I’m pretty sure I saw a thing that said as long as Ellen Pompeo was on board with it they would continue to make Grey’s but honestly, how long can she continue to go on if everyone really does leave her for good? I mean she’ll always have a support system because she is Meredith Grey but like…how long can it really go on?

I mean I’ll still be along for the ride for sure, but I guess we just see what happens. Maybe in season 17 they can finally get Meredith and the new doctor guy together – I still haven’t picked up his name after all this time but we’ll see if they even keep him around.

I don’t really have predictions for what could happen because let’s face it, with Grey’s you never know for sure. Plus with the pandemic and everything, who knows when the show will even be back. I hope we don’t have to wait too long, but I guess in the mean time it’s back to trying to find something new to watch.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

Here we are this is it. The last season of Grey’s Anatomy I needed to watch before I was all caught up.

This season had a lot going on, although when I think back I think the main focus really was on Owen’s love triangle with Amelia and Teddy. I felt like out of everything this season I was commenting on that a lot lol.

However, the show had a lot of other good things this season and definitely had me crying on multiple occasions. The show is definitely in a good place right now and I am so excited to see what the future holds.

But for right now, here are my thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy season 15:

  • Hi Chris Carmack! Our new ortho God – replacing Callie – it’s been a while since we had someone in that department
  • Who is the Asian guy with him though? Who also has a thing for glasses – hi we see you
  • Lol okay but Teddy coming back and going to Owen’s and Betty answering the door and her freaking out and everything – I did see it coming but I wish she had stuck around…
  • This definitely isn’t the last we’ve seen of Teddy but like I need Owen to know he’s gonna have a child!
  • Honestly, I was rooting for Amelia and Owen but if he can be with Teddy? I wouldn’t be mad about it…
  • Alex didn’t get on the board, but it’s okay because Bailey just made him Chief? Lol can’t wait to see where this goes
  • Yasss Jo Wilson coming up with the innovative ideas – excited to see where this goes
  • Meredith having all the dreams about all the hospital men lol same girl same. But also, I guess it’s time for her to get back on the horse. But also RIP Derek we still love you and miss you, I see Meredith retired the ferry boat scrub cap last season and everything ugh my heart
  • Alex as chief for one day and already spending all the dolla and firing that intern for the second time – love that
  • So Jackson just left out of nowhere – cool, cool I know he’s not leaving the show but when does he come back?
  • Also Jo is the only one to get married and actually change her name – cute
  • C’mon Meredith with the shopping, excited to see where this goes
  • Okay Meredith dating Ted Mosby is something I would have never imagined so thanks Grey’s lol – but seriously he was basically the same guy on Grey’s except he did software and then he said that one thing and ruined it all, classic Ted
  • Link vs DeLuca for Meredith’s affection huh? Interesting lol
  • YASS glasses and the other guy kissing in the lift – I support that 100% I hope they get together
  • Catherine with cancer :/ gosh darn it nothing is going well for Richard…
  • Plus Richard going to that bar and smashing up everything – loved that, I mean yes he got arrested but I stand behind it
  • Maggie and Jackson are over now? That didn’t last long…
  • I mean I understand why Maggie would be angry that Jackson was talking to everybody but her but at the same time she wasn’t exactly talking to him either…
  • Also Teddy you totally had a chance to tell Owen and you still didn’t come on girl
  • Oh my gosh and also when Meredith was walking through the hospital on the Day of the Dead episode and they had to have George come out of nowhere and everyone else I cried like a baby – like GEORGE still not over it…Lexie and Derek and Mark too – AND THE DOG just hit me right in the feels. They had no right
  • I cried when Amelia was hugging Betty when she came back – I’M AN EMOTIONAL WRECK THIS SEASON – but seeing Amelia loving Betty like her own child, so beautiful
  • Love that Kim and glasses are having sex in the ambulance during a storm while everyone else is stuck in lifts because the power lines have fallen – you better keep those two safe or I swear to God – also yeah I caught the Asian guy’s name in this episode but still not glasses? My bad…
  • Okay so Teddy drops the bomb and now her, Owen and Amelia be stuck in that lift – ready for the T to be spilt honey
  • COME THROUGH DeLuca throwing his hat into the ring – we love a good love triangle. Though nothing will ever be as fun as Derek vs the vet from the early days lol
  • I LOVE that Alex was the one to catch glasses and Kim lol I love that he gave them advice about rooms that lock – I see you Karev, I see you
  • DeLuca speaking Italian to Meredith ugh I love it. And I loved even MORE that she spoke Italian too – I ship it
  • BUT we can’t discount Link because he’s still playing
  • I hope that they can save Catherine because so far all of Richard’s great loves have died and I just don’t know how he will survive if Catherine also dies…
  • Owen now has to decide if he wants to be with Teddy or Amelia and at this point I really don’t know who I want him to be with because he’s good with both of them. And he kind of has children with both of them so like…what’s he gonna do lol
  • Okay so Owen chose Amelia and he and Teddy will always be friends? I guess I can be okay with that. Especially because it seems like Teddy is getting cosy with Tom
  • I hope Bailey and Ben work things out, I mean she’s getting help for her problem and she working through stuff but they so cute together
  • Also yasss Meredith and DeLuca – when I first heard about these two I wasn’t sure about it but…the show has made it grow on me
  • Okay so Betty’s parents are now in the picture and they almost took Leo away from Owen – man that would have been heartbreaking, it’s sad that Betty is going though…
  • Meanwhile, Teddy and Tom are becoming a thing and Owen is not cool with it lol
  • Ooh DeLuca’s dad has arrived, I wonder what trouble this is going to bring…
  • Not really trouble but a baby in a bag? I don’t know if this is going to be genius or the start of his mental decline
  • Also love Catherine and her family having food in the limo – it’s cute, love a good family moment
  • I 100% stan this Schmit and Kim relationship it is too cute for words I can’t even deal
  • Owen and Amelia officially over…kind of sad about it because I wanted Owen to have a good partner after Cristina. But at least he has his baby which is super cute so yay for Owen! And he even has another baby on the way so double yay!
  • Jo finding out about her biological mother…I wonder what this will lead to
  • So DeLuca’s dad sticking around didn’t last long, didn’t think it would tbh at least he didn’t really put a baby in a bag though – still seems super crazy
  • Look at Bailey advocating for those who need help with their mental health – yasss queen you tell Alex to look after his mum
  • Amelia and Link? I mean from the start of the episode when she ran into him at the conference I KNEW something was going to happen between them. It’s just so soon after Owen, I don’t think this will be anything good either lol
  • Okay so like I know that Teddy is with Tom and everything but her moments with Owen and the baby this season have been too cute so I need more of that
  • The episode where Jo is helping that patient deal with her injuries from rape was so powerful. I don’t really have other words to describe it.
  • I just hope Jo feels she can open up to Alex about everything that happened with her birth mum, although I totally understand that she needs her own time to process and heal
  • Love that Alex was getting the interns to do all his Chief paperwork lol he truly was a great Chief
  • Meghan came back just to call Owen out on his shit and to get some help – interesting. I mean I know his life was messy but I didn’t know if he really needed to talk to someone about it but there ya go
  • Also Amelia’s other sisters are crazy – I almost forgot that Derek had other sisters haha at least she also has Meredith and Maggie, they good ones
  • Btw Link is such a cutie standing up for Amelia with her family maybe this is the good relationship Amelia has post-tumour
  • Okay I know Jo is going through this thing and doesn’t wanna talk to anyone about it but I’m super worried about her I think she needs to go to therapy it seems to be working for Owen
  • Jackson asked Maggie to move in with him and she is freaking out lol that’s fun
  • Jo is definitely having a breakdown right now someone help her please
  • Right okay Owen who you going to choose because as much as I like love triangles I want this one to end
  • DeLuca told Meredith he loved her and she blanked him – it was sweet but definitely too soon for her
  • Bless Meredith for helping Jo get back on her feet. their relationship has grown so much! I remember when Meredith hated Jo lol
  • DeLuca taking the fall for Meredith gosh darn it man is it possible to love him more? What an angel
  • Also come through Teddy and Hunt! They better make it work or I swear I’m done with them
  • Please tell me Hunt, Schmitt and that blood donor girl make it through the fog alive…we need people to be saved we don’t need more death please and thanks
  • This season finale had me all over the place
  • First of all, Owen and Teddy having their baby – yes so about this, excited to see their family life in the next season. But also super sad that Tom is going to have his heart broken I mean he was just sitting in that apartment all day building baby furniture for a woman who is about to dump him and he doesn’t even know :/
  • Maggie and Jackson went camping and it was a disaster but I could sense that coming. I guess this is the end of that relationship – but also Jackson went out in the fog and never came back and I kind of want him to stick around on the show but something tells me this could be his exit?
  • Amelia deciding to find out who she is without Owen is smart. I think it’s good she’s not just going to jump into this relationship with Link because it would just be another cycle of on again, off again and I’m ready for better things for Amelia
  • Is Meredith actually turning herself in and going to jail? This is going to be interesting. I really don’t want her to go down for this but honestly with the way this show goes she will probably get away with it. I mean Bailey reminded us all of the Izzie Elvat wire situation and they seemed to be okay with that? Lol wild times
  • Jo is getting the help she needs and I am proud of her. My heart breaks for Alex though not wanting to let her go but I think this is going to be good for them.
  • Also yes they got the blood donor to save that child so that was great thanks guys
  • And once again, Kim and Schmitt prove to be the cutest couple on the show.

So here we are guys, I’m all caught up!

It has been a real rollercoaster. But I have loved it a lot. And I’m excited for the next season already!

I also think this brings an end to these Grey’s Anatomy blog posts – it’s been fun but I am excited to move on to posting other things on my blog, and while I will still be following the show I feel there is no need for these posts to continue. This is just something I wanted to do to share my thoughts when I was behind, now I can livetweet with everyone else lol

But it has been great, and I do like when I have regular content to post here so I’m sure I’ll be back with another blog post soon enough, it just won’t be Grey’s Anatomy related. Now if you’ll excuse me…I think I need to find a new show to watch.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 14 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

Grey’s got it’s groove back! So after me saying the last season wasn’t great, I actually really liked season 14.

That being said the show did not do well this season when writing out two of its main characters. If there was anything to fault this TV show for it would definitely be for the way it decides to get rid of people. Some people have had great exits and others you can tell they didn’t really think about…

But they are good at bringing in so many new people you kind of forget about the old ones…

That being said if there was ever like a good reunion episode where they just brought everyone back I wouldn’t be mad. Even if you could just bring George, Derek, Lexie, Sloan and everyone else back from the dead like that would be cool, I wouldn’t even care I need that lol.

Anyway, this season I enjoyed. I liked seeing all the people there for Owen at the beginning and the innovation contest being brought into Grey Sloan. I love seeing the doctors excel and get competitive. And I’m even more excited to see what season 15 brings, but for now here are my thoughts on season 14 of Grey’s Anatomy:

  • So Owen’s sister is back and is played by the actress that plays Scottie in Suits – hi how are ya? Also guess they couldn’t get the actress back who played Owen’s sister in his imagination that one time.
  • It’s so weird to see Teddy back again after all this time, I missed her, she looks great. I can’t believe someone that left the show actually came back AND she sticks around! (Yes I looked it up) excited for her to be back
  • It’s so great to see Owen with Riggs, Teddy, his mum and his sister – it’s cute to see him have people, I feel like he’s been lonely lately because Amelia is being the worst
  • Like hi your husband’s sister just came back and you are dealing with stuff but you should be there for him because he’s your husband? Come on guys
  • DeLuca has a sister? Nice. I’m glad it didn’t take Arizona long to get over the fact Minnick ghosted her lol
  • I could sense a Maggie and Jackson thing blooming at the end of last season and when April told Maggie that’s how Jackson felt it confirmed it – BUT they are being super awkward around each other now – I guess Jackson wanted things to play out a different way
  • Okay so Amazon Prime just don’t give you subtitles for what DeLuca and his sister say in Italian so…that’s fun? I like to know what people are saying even in another language – I don’t care if you can get the gist I feel like I’m missing out
  • Update: They do provide subtitles when it’s important to the story otherwise it’s just DeLuca and his sister yelling at each other in Italian lol
  • Yes Jo and Alex get back together! Finally
  • I loved the female energy in episode 2 with Bailey throwing her heels out, Meredith and Amelia doing badass surgeries like yasss girl power
  • AMELIA HAS A TUMOUR – damn – now we see what’s going on
  • Okay but Harper Avery dying was so random lol
  • So Riggs definitely leaves with Megan right? That’s how this goes? Eh ain’t gonna miss him now that she’s alive and he’s got no reason to be working there he can go
  • DeLuca’s sister is all about spreading the joy and orgasms lol I hope she sticks around
  • Okay I’m going to say no she doesn’t because Arizona is like “I accidentally broke up with her and told her Sophia’s coming home” and she’s been on Tinder so I guess that’s over
  • Actually she does stay and gets with Owen lol DeLuca hates his life, every roommate he gets his sister sleeps with them – messy messy
  • Love that Jackson is rich now and is just like “just bought a boat bitches”
  • I really like when you see all the guys together – we’ve had a lot of girl bonding on the show recently so I think it’s good when we see the guys together too
  • So I guess that’s both Megan and Riggs out of the picture – I did kind of like seeing them both in the army with Owen and Teddy – that is a spin-off I could watch – those characters together are just great
  • Also love Meredith on the cover that magazine – slay queen, slay
  • AND a Harper Avery nomination yassss – so proud of Meredith
  • So because Jackson’s mum told Jackson said he and Maggie are siblings that’s stopping that right? I mean I was thinking about this when Maggie came to dinner I was like…Catherine and Richard are married and Maggie and Jackson are their children so…yeah okay let’s not have that a thing I mean it’s not really bad but since they said siblings now I can’t – I mean sure they did it on Gossip Girl with Dan and Serena but I just could not see it be a thing on Grey’s lol
  • I cried like a baby watching Meredith get her Harper Avery – she deserved it, she been through so much – Derek would have been so proud :’)
  • Wow so the hospital has been hacked and everything is going to shit – great cool – love a disaster
  • And Jo’s husband is back at the worst possible time – of course
  • Also can’t believe Ben is quitting surgery to be a firefighter now lol make up your mind bro
  • So Jo’s husband comes back asks for a divorce, gets hit by a drunk driver and dies…wow lol I mean he totally deserved it but all that stuff happened so fast
  • Come through hacker intern who saved the hospital – but what did the FBI end up doing then? lol
  • I can’t believe they hired that glasses intern – he’s such a mess
  • And then there’s April who is totally losing her faith – sleeping with that intern, no good will come of this
  • Jackson and Maggie are doing the dating thing? There’s definitely feelings there so…are we on board with this? I guess we don’t have to be because Maggie is currently dating some guy called Clive lol
  • It’s so sad that Bailey and Ben had to give Tucker that talk with the police 😦 I mean I know it’s the reality we live in but it broke my heart
  • Are they ever gonna explain more of a backstory for DeLuca and the intern or what lol
  • I see Hunt and DeLuca’s sister are out and Arizona and her are back in just like that – I wanted more for Hunt guys he still needs someone good
  • Oh and Bailey and a heart attack? So not cute y’all I’m glad she’s okay
  • Love when the doctors are competing against each other – like a good healthy competition
  • Wow April has gone totally off the rails – reminds me of when Cristina decided to work at the bar haha
  • Yass Alex and Jo finally engaged – they so cute
  • So DeLuca’s intern finally said I love you, now what happens?
  • So Maggie’s bf was married lol awkward. Luckily Jackson has swooped in – are we here for this or are we not? Still on the fence
  • Meredith can not give up on her invention just because some “aunt” came over for her own agenda – that is not the Grey way
  • Teddy and Hunt were almost a thing…so close… :/ I definitely was happy crying when they were together though like please make this a thing
  • So everyone is okay with the Jackson and Maggie thing – okay cool I guess I can get on board
  • I knew Meredith wasn’t gonna give up on her idea, thank God Jo talked some sense into her
  • Also it seems really weird that Sofia randomly decided to move back with Arizona…did anyone else feel this?
  • Another thing is why hasn’t anyone done anything about April yet like I know people have tried to talk to her but like can they try harder lol
  • Okay so April has found God again and everything is okay, I’m glad it kind of resolved itself but at the same time I thought it was going to take longer
  • I can’t believe that Alex and Amelia couldn’t save Kimmy 😦 I guess they can’t save everyone but it was so hopeful in the beginning
  • What did Jackson do to ruin the Averys? He definitely should have looked into that lawsuit
  • DeLuca’s girlfriend leaving because she ran a red light and almost got deported is a wild one. Though not that mad about it because their relationship never really developed much at all – seemed like a filler thing
  • Hunt looking to adopt is super cute, it’s about time he gets a kid, he deserves happiness in his life
  • Wow that intern thinks he’s so big by suing for wrongful termination – mate just accept you lied and moved on
  • Yasss Amelia stepping up to be a sponsor – she’s come so far
  • Alright so Harper Avery was a terrible privileged white guy that sexually harassed a lot of women – I should have seen it coming but I didn’t. At least now the foundation is going to do well because Catherine is getting the credit she deserves for being a boss ass bitch – we stan Catherine Fox!
  • They used Sofia for a crappy plotline to have Arizona leave the show? Um No. Unacceptable. She needs a better exit than that. And Callie definitely deserved a better exit too like what is it with this show and its crappy endings for characters? I’ll always be grateful they didn’t kill them off but at the same time EVEN STEPHANIE THE INTERN WHO WAS ON LIKE TWO SEASONS had a better write-off than this…
  • And they think that they can have April almost die and then just decide to leave and go off with Matthew the end? Nah again not the best exit. I mean I KNEW as soon as I seen Matthew that something was up. No guys.
  • I can’t with these crappy exits.
  • On the bright side, I am so glad that Alex and Jo’s wedding happened, maybe not the way they planned but I still enjoyed it
  • Also Teddy is back and she’s pregnant!!!! I love this. I can’t wait to see where this goes…

ONE SEASON LEFT GUYS.

It’s been a long journey and I’ve loved it so much. I mean normally when I binge watch TV shows I have to take a break from watching them because I get sick of the characters but not with Grey’s – the only time I’ve went a day without watching Grey’s is if I’m with my boyfriend because he started to watch it with me in the beginning but we were getting through it too slowly so he let me watch on my own. He’s literally only seen the first couple of seasons lol.

So yeah, I’ve been watching Grey’s what feels like non-stop for the last few months and I can’t say anything bad about it. If you want a binge-worthy TV show this is it AND it’s not even like it’s short AND IT’S STILL GOING. So I mean it’s a win win situation.

But yes, one season left to go – the big one season 15. It sounds weird but like this seemed like something I wasn’t going to get to when I first started watching. I mean you hear the show has a load of seasons and you feel like you’re not gonna catch up to watch the rest of the show but here it is.

Once I watch season 15 I will finally be able to watch in real time with everyone and I’m so excited for that because then I can stop avoiding spoilers! It’ll be so good.

Okay, I’m going now, I’m excited for the new season and what it holds and you bet there will be one more of these blog posts coming your way very soon!

Grey’s Anatomy Season 13 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

Here we are another recap for Grey’s. You know, it’s going to be so weird when I’m not doing these anymore. I have predicted that I will be caught up by the end of season 15 and then after that, I’ll be watching the show in real time with everyone else.

It’s been a wild ride we’ve been having through the seasons, while also trying to balance my final semester of uni work… but I think it’s been good. I have actually really enjoyed having a long TV show to binge watch over this time, as I think having to find some new entertainment after one or two seasons would have stressed me out.

I’m feeling kind of reflective and sentimental in some ways because I just finished my dissertation and that was a journey…but anyway enough with that – that will come in a later blog post lol

Time to share my thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy season 13:

  • Alex beat up DeLuca and now he’s pressing felony charges – eek. So much fall out and nothing good.
  • Maggie finally asked Riggs out but Meredith told him to say no. Definitely gonna be ugly when Maggie finds out about those two. Messy messy.
  • The clinic still exists! And Alex is working in it. I wonder how this DeLuca and Alex thing resolves itself.
  • Okay but for real Meredith just tell Maggie about Riggs
  • April and Jackson actually being good parents and cute is exactly what I need
  • Amelia and Hunt are working on the marriage and getting to know each other that is cute
  • When are going to find out what happens with Alex and DeLuca because they are dragging it out – I mean it’s only been 4 episodes but I’m impatient
  • Also, I hope DeLuca gets some friends, I feel like he doesn’t have any – I guess Jo is there but I don’t know, I don’t want him to be alone, though sometimes I forget he lives with Arizona until they bring it up lol
  • So Amelia and Hunt were okay and now they aren’t – she definitely has to tell him about the baby situation – he would totally understand
  • Oh my God Murphy is back! I definitely did not see that one coming, I mean normally when people leave they don’t return. I totally forgot she existed, to be honest…
  • Side note: I looked up that Callie just doesn’t come back – she just straight up left for New York and that was it – kind of sad because I’ll miss her… Why is it when someone leaves the show it seems so abrupt? Like it wasn’t even like she got a real send off it was just Arizona being like “go to New York” and she did. The end… Not a fan – I shouldn’t have to Google if someone has left the show for good, it should be clear from the show’s context. That being said I’m super glad they didn’t just kill her off – had enough death thanks
  • Lol April on Tinder – of all the people I didn’t think she was gonna go there
  • So Amelia told Hunt the truth and that didn’t go well but when you just yell at him “I don’t wanna have a baby” that’s probably why…
  • So this woman is just gonna come in and take Richard’s job? Not cute.
  • Jo finally told Alex the truth – good. I knew he would understand. He’s a good guy. But she should have told him sooner and saved all this fall out.
  • Lol this woman makes it so easy to hate her – love that everyone is fighting for Webber
  • Also good to know Amelia just ran away – like she does – I need her to be good with Owen and for them to be cute because they never really have good moments, I mean they do it just doesn’t ever last
  • Minnick is not going down without a fight – which means I actually had to look up her name so I could stop referring to her as “this woman” gross
  • I can’t believe Bailey made April interim chief of General Surgery and took out Meredith – that’s how you know they came to play
  • Also, DeLuca is a really decent guy – like he’s attractive and charming and he just dropped the charges on Alex like damn boy – you a fave
  • So everyone be fighting then and Minnick just on her merry way doing things – ugh she’s annoying
  • Do I like Minnick with Arizona? Eh… we see how it goes but I knew Richard was going to find out eventually, Arizona was trying too hard to keep it secret
  • And Meredith needs to decide if she wants to get with Riggs or not – I’ve kind of accepted Meredith is gonna move on but they’ll never have that epic love like McDreamy and Meredith
  • This Maggie’s mum cancer thing is not gonna end well I can already sense it
  • Yeah see, she dies :/ why do people’s parents come on the show only to get ill and die? Like was it so hard for Maggie’s mum to be okay? She already lost her birth mum – not fun
  • I also think about how it must be when you’re ill and you’re around all these doctors like aren’t you lucky to be having dinner with a bunch of them and something goes wrong?
  • Also what was with that episode with Jackson and his dad? Is that a filler or is there something more gonna happen with them?
  • So Meredith and Riggs still not happening? I feel like he’s being super patient but is it really gonna pan out?
  • And can Amelia please decide what’s going on with her and Owen it’s kind of annoying
  • Of course Meredith is on another dangerous flight – this is not cute after what happened the last time guys
  • Finally Meredith and Riggs! Woo
  • But also she can’t get rid of that tumour that her and Derek drew – it’s like throwing away the post-it you just don’t do it
  • I also guess we aren’t getting more out of Jo and Alex this season? It’s kind of been lulled down lately…
  • Just as I say that Alex goes looking for Jo’s husband WHO IS WILLIAM SHUSTER FROM GLEE HAHAHAHAHA wow
  • Sad nothing actually happened between him and Alex though – I mean I’m also glad because at least Alex isn’t going to jail or anything but still…now what happens between Alex and Jo?
  • WTF rapist in the hospital with Edwards – she sets him on FIRE AND THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION
  • Damn Edwards is such a badass – you know what I ain’t even mad she leaving I think I’m glad they didn’t just kill her off which would have been the easy thing to do but she survived and is a queen
  • Also Megan’s alive?! Okay I spoiled this for myself so I always knew this was going to happen lol but still so random
  • This means Riggs and Meredith can’t be together – did the show know that everyone was gonna hate Meredith with someone who isn’t Derek and so decided this wasn’t the time lol, either way, I am okay with it
  • Poor Owen though, his life is just turned upside down lately – like they literally went this whole season with Amelia and Owen being married but like not really married because Amelia left the house ASAP lol and now his sister is actually alive?! So crazy…
  • And Minnick got fired yassss – I mean okay I am sad about her and Arizona a little but eh time to move on

So to summerise, this season was all about Minnick taking over but not really, Meredith being wishy-washy about being with Riggs but it doesn’t even matter because Owen’s sister is alive so that’s over and I guess some other things that kind of faded into the background after a while aka the whole Alex thing.

I gotta say this season was kind of meh, I feel like they knew it because they decided to throw in an exciting season finale lol. But I guess that’s okay – not every season can be a winner. I guess I was just expecting more from it, it did have promise but then was kind of more less the same things over and over again.

Also yeah Murphy came back for like 3 episodes and now she’s just disappeared again? Why bring her back if you are going to get rid of her lol. Random.

But yes, the season wasn’t the best, but we are in the home stretch. Just two more seasons left! I’m excited but also I will be sad when it’s over because I don’t know what I’ll be doing with my life then…And I mean that literally because I predict I’ll be caught up in a few weeks and I’ll have finished uni then and I will just have all the free time but no more Grey’s to watch…

I guess I have to figure something out, but for right now I shall treasure the time I have with Grey’s, see you after the next season.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

The first season without Derek…

I guess it was okay. I mean I think the main focus kept being on the same people and I was kind of…over it?

Sounds weird because I haven’t ever been bored of a season of Grey’s but this one kept feeling like it was interesting enough to keep watching but it was definitely missing something.

Probably just that we lost two main characters in the last two seasons and the show hasn’t yet fully recovered.

But here are my thoughts on season 12:

  • Bailey as Chief! The first day wasn’t great but she’ll get there
  • Love that Amelia, Maggie and Meredith are living together
  • Alex and Jo made their crappy place a nice home real quick
  • April is determined to fight for Jackson but I don’t know if that’s gonna go well
  • Yeah so Jackson moved out lol they don’t last… (might have seen that when I was Googling to see if April was leaving and never coming back because of the army)
  • Wonder how long Jackson can crash on Bailey’s sofa before she’s like “Nah time to go bro”
  • Maggie sleeping with that intern lol yikes
  • That was the most awkward dinner party of all time – but I do love when all the doctors get together outside of work and hang out
  • Like you can’t have a party and invite the woman that killed Derek ya know :/ I felt bad about the whole situation Callie didn’t know, no one else knew…
  • At least Meredith is trying to rise above, I don’t know if I could so yay for Meredith being the bigger person
  • I guess she’s becoming a member of the cast
  • Side note: I don’t like the new interns as always lol
  • Maggie and her guy though I hope they work out – I totally forgot she even went out with that guy from radiology because it was mentioned twice and then never brought up again, nevermind the fact they dated for six months?
  • Also love that Amelia has a “jumbo box of condoms” in the bathroom and wants to share – safe sex for everyone
  • This new guy is causing PTSD for Owen so I already hate him
  • Love that Meredith is being Owen’s person – “do we hate him” “yes we hate him” “okay” – that’s the kind of person you need in life lol
  • April and Jackson aren’t talking but they had sex – yep everyone does it, they’re too awkward to talk to each other but I can’t have this iffy status with them because it’s annoying
  • Okay so Jackson wants to talk and April doesn’t – they yelling and…what? I hate that this one episode had so many cliff hangers
  • So Owen had a sister?! What is up with that I know that the new cardio guy is related to him but is it a trans situation? Is it a this new guy is his brother and caused his sister to die? Like there’s a lot going on…
  • And because Owen doesn’t want to talk about it and Amelia is being shut out – but Meredith is there for Owen, Amelia is going off the deep end and drinking… super cool
  • On top of that Arizona is trying to find someone new to date and I think it’s cute she’s trying and also cute that she is using Richard as a wingman lol
  • Of course Meredith is almost beaten to death. As if she hasn’t been through enough in her life
  • At least all the doctors are there for her love them
  • Amelia getting sober again yay!
  • So Hunt had a sister and she was with Riggs and his sister died so he blames the guy okay…
  • It was kind of amazing seeing them work together though.
  • I hope Amelia and Hunt figure out there stuff. Just like I hope Jo and Alex cut the shit and get together again
  • Lol Richard finding out about Maggie and DeLuca we knew that was gonna be a fun time – I like that he was kind of cool about it in the end though
  • They really love all these flashback episodes don’t they. I feel like we’ve been having too many lately. Just tell me what happened with Jackson and April in order – though from How to get away with murder I know Shonda Rhimes loves a good rewind
  • Wow this Jackson and April episode takes it way back to the beginning and I can’t tell if they had planned this all along so filmed those scenes years ago or they filmed them new because Jackson and April’s hair changes over the years lol
  • Oh my God April is pregnant again but she just signed divorce papers. Eek. Jackson needs to know sweetie…
  • I love that they are including Richard more by having him be friends with Arizona – it was an unlikely friendship but I want him included in the fam because he’s always around but I always felt he was a little on the outside
  • Arizona just went ahead and told Jackson about April dang it this ain’t gonna be good
  • I don’t want Meredith to be a sad widow forever but like I am not ready for her to be dating someone else, like for me Derek just died and I’m still not okay with it
  • Also yeah I’ve been wondering for a while why Meredith and other people have been treating Jo like crap? Like she’s genuinely nice, sure that thing with her and Edwards was awkward and in that moment Jo seemed real shitty but like she has good intentions
  • I knew that Jackson’s mum would have some ulterior motive for talking to April about the baby – this is going to be a war
  • So DeLuca and Maggie are over because DeLuca doesn’t know how to communicate, Owen and Amelia are over because he was drunk and she’s sober so that’s not a good space for her and Meredith and that guy just can’t be right now because she’s not ready – that’s totally fine I’m all here for the Grey sisters and their power, I just love when they are in scenes together, also Alex is cool too
  • I kind of like that Penny is growing a spine she really needs to stand up to everyone else
  • Ben is so out of control – cutting into that psych patient and giving that woman a C section in the hallway – he’s also like really scary when he was yelling at Bailey I was like “NO DON’T HURT HER” like this ain’t good someone stop him
  • Oh and April with the restraining order? I did not take her for that type of girl but I guess she wants to protect the baby…so messy though
  • Okay Jackson and April are being civil to each other again, they can put the lawyers down – I knew they would work it out
  • Meanwhile Callie wants to jet off with Penny to New York and take Sophia without asking Arizona. Now they are lawyering up – it’s gonna be a big custody battle
  • I am also pissed at Ben for being suspended but then deciding to get his old job back like wtf I don’t think he should be allowed in the hospital either after the whole situation
  • I also can’t tell how we feeling about Riggs anymore do we love him, do we hate him? He seems okay apart from cheating on Owen’s sister…
  • Arizona won the custody battle, damn. Now Callie and Penny have broken up and Penny is going to New York alone because Callie can’t leave her daughter. I wish they had worked something civil out. I mean I don’t think Callie should have taken Sofia to New York but at the same time I think that they should have been able to share custody – especially when Callie was only going to be away for a year?
  • Meredith just started kissing Riggs and I am so not okay with that what the heck
  • Amelia just asked Hunt to marry her lol okay. And Jo said no to Alex 😦 I know Jo and Alex work it out but like if Jo could form words to explain herself to Alex that would be great
  • Jo is already married? Didn’t see that one coming
  • YES BEN YOU SAVE APRIL’S LIFE – oh my gosh I was worried but then I was like no he can redeem himself and he did!
  • Amelia and Hunt made it down the aisle – finally. I hope they actually stick to it because they’re relationship is honestly non-existant because they never talked and just ended up having sex every so often yet they getting married so yay?
  • Arizona decides to let Callie take Sofia to New York omg so they all happy
  • And finally…Maggie likes Riggs but Meredith slept with him so what now?

Yeah so Meredith moving on after Derek is not something I am a huge fan of. I mean I know it was going to happen eventually but like McDreamy was her big love, so to have her get with someone else so soon is just not my thing. I know it’s boring for the show if she didn’t have new love interests but doesn’t everyone else have enough drama to have Meredith without some for a while?

Aside from that I’m not sure what is to be expected next. I’m sure Owen and Amelia won’t be in wedded bliss forever, and people are gonna find out about Meredith and Riggs for sure…

I’m not even sure who’s the next to go but I guess we see, only a few more seasons to go and I’ll officially be all caught up! It’s been a wild ride but I’m glad I’m in the home stretch 😛

Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

Okay so I guess my primitive Internet search to find out when Derek leaves was wrong. I thought we had a couple more seasons with him but we don’t. Not anymore… he’s gone. And I cried for like three episodes straight after that because it was just the worst.

Aside from that this season has been…I don’t even know to be honest, I felt like it was okay, I kept wanting the best for Derek and Meredith because they were fighting and I didn’t need that. We had Maggie on the scene as another long lost sister of Meredith’s and then we also had a bunch of other things that I don’t quite recall.

Honestly, after the whole Derek situation it’s all I can think about but luckily, I’ve been blogging as I’ve been watching so here are all my thoughts on season 11 of Grey’s as a whole:

  • Don’t know how to feel about Meredith’s new sister – I wonder when she’s gonna tell Meredith anyway because they got off on the wrong foot and were fighting the first time they met lol
  • Also Richard needs to be like “I’m your dad tho” because she’s gonna find out eventually
  • Can they just have Bailey and Karev on the board? Then there would be no fighting
  • Is Arizona actually doing a fellowship? I honestly just wanna know if her and Callie are gonna have a baby or not the back and forth is getting annoying
  • Okay they aren’t having a baby?
  • Richard finally tells the girl the truth and she doesn’t even give him a chance to explain – nice
  • Meredith is so not about having another sister and her and Alex’s friendship is kind of cute lol
  • Alex didn’t get his seat on the board? Man I’d be pissed, especially because Cristina did choose him :/
  • So Derek is mad at everyone for his choice and it ain’t cute – though not surprised he felt like he didn’t have a choice but he did – even if it wasn’t the choice he wanted he made it
  • Trust Derek to be the one to tell Meredith to embrace her family – we stan a husband who wants the best for his wife
  • Now we just need Richard and Maggie to talk and make things right
  • Callie and Arizona finally ending it. I’m sad about it for sure but I think it was the right thing. It was downhill for so long and so I think it was their time – though honestly their time should’ve been when Arizona cheated but that’s just me
  • Callie and Meredith as friends is fun. Remember when Callie hated her for sleeping with George lol they’ve come so far!
  • So Arizona’s mentor has a brain tumor…great…
  • Everyone finding out about Derek’s sister’s drug addiction – yikes though how did everyone not know before?
  • Derek has hit rock bottom 😦 poor guy honestly I’m on edge about anything that happens to him because we don’t have a lot of time left with him
  • It’s cute that Meredith brought Maggie around to the house with everyone. I love the O.G Grey house
  • Jo being jealous of Alex and Meredith is hilarious
  • Are Derek and Meredith really calling it quits because my heart can’t take that – YOU ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME LEFT TOGETHER PLEASE MCDREAMY COME BACK
  • There’s something wrong with April and Jackson’s baby 😦 NOOO why can’t they just have cute babies and they be the one couple where things are going right?
  • I think it’s cute that Arizona wants to save Herman – too bad she doesn’t wanna be helped
  • Oh she changed her mind – I hope she gets saved – no one likes when the build-up is big and then someone dies :/
  • Okay Meredith and Derek are making it work – of course they are, they have the post-it – they are cute and amazing and it’s gonna be fine
  • Also Meredith and Cristina used to pause during sex to text each other back? Lol that’s actually the kind of friend I need in life
  • When Meredith, Maggie, Amelia and Miranda are all bonding in the 3D printer room – I liked that scene a lot. So much female power in this show and I love it.
  • Cue me crying when Owen is standing in the vent room by himself thinking about Cristina. I miss her too Owen 😥
  • April and Jackson said goodbye to their baby 😦 I wonder what will be next for them
  • Maggie volunteering to look after Meredith’s kids was pretty cute
  • So Meredith didn’t go to see Derek and she just had some alone time and I think that’s fair – I mean you gotta have alone time with no kids or work
  • Arizona and Herman are becoming friends and that’s cute
  • Is Amelia really flirting with Hunt? Is this gonna be a thing?
  • After hyping up this brain surgery they better save Nicole’s life because if she dies I just can’t take it
  • Nicole is alive! But she’s blind 😦 so close. But it was a great episode and the important thing is that she’s alive and Amelia kicked ass in that surgery. Derek who?
  • Derek better not be cheating on Meredith because I swear
  • Yes Amelia and Owen are totally being a thing – I just want someone good for him, Cristina and him have been through a lot
  • Ben better except his trans sister – sure it’s something no one expected but he better be a good brother
  • I think it’s cute that Jackson is trying to revive the Plastics Posse. Mark would have wanted it that way
  • Derek is back! I mean I’m proud he didn’t sleep with that girl but he definitely should have stopped that kiss
  • So Hunt and Amelia are on the outs, that didn’t last long.
  • DEREK NOOOO
  • OH MY GOD
  • I THOUGHT WE HAD AT LEAST A COUPLE MORE SEASONS WHY
  • I cried like a baby
  • My heart
  • I can’t believe them. This was the worst way and too soon after Cristina I can’t be okay with this.
  • Did you think that not having Derek around a lot this season and having Amelia come in was REALLY gonna prepare us for THIS?!
  • NO
  • Gosh
  • Then there was the whole time-lapse thing of Meredith disappearing to have her third baby, I wish Derek had been around for that they didn’t give them enough time 😥
  • And April and Owen went off to the army for their trauma training and Jackson was left alone…
  • And Amelia was trying to hold it together but it wasn’t really working but Owen comes back and saves her from taking drugs again that was a whole thing and now they don’t even look at one another :/
  • Alex being the hero we never knew we needed calling after Meredith and trying to hold down the fort – what a cutie even hosting Christmas at his house
  • OH AND ALSO – why couldn’t they have gotten Cristina to come back for one episode to be there for Meredith in her time of need. Of all the reasons for a character to come back, this would be the time?! I wish they had gotten her back just for one episode.
  • Meredith better not sell that house, Derek built it for her and she should live in it 😦
  • Richard and Catherine finally made it down the aisle! Super cute
  • So April and Jackson are breaking up? Honestly I’m really annoyed about this because they barely got a chance to be together and also I really did want them to be cute and have babies and everything :/
  • Jo and Alex moving out into their own place? Looks a lot like the place Cristina and Owen once moved into but Cristina was able to fix up in no time at all lol

So another season down…honestly not sure how to cope now Derek is gone. Like how do we just move on from this? He was Meredith’s big love and they were supposed to be that couple that no one else could compare to because they are the best. But now…now Meredith is a widow with three kids, thinking about selling the house and trying to move on from things…

It’s just not good. But I have to keep watching. I can’t just get to now and quit. A lot of characters have left the show and I knew from the beginning that only Meredith and Alex really stick through it for the long haul but still…I’ve become attached to everyone so anyone leaving is just devastating now…

But anyway, I guess we see where we go from here. I’m not aware of anyone else leaving anytime soon so I don’t need to be on high alert for that. That being said I think it makes it a little easier knowing when someone is going to leave, because then you can prepare to some degree. But I think I should really stop spoiling the show for myself and just enjoy it lol

Grey’s Anatomy Season 10 Thoughts

~ Courtney Shek ~ Leave a comment

2018-09-07_1847

Hi.

So this is the season where Cristina is leaving. And you know me, every time something came up with Cristina I was like – is this where it happens? And then you know I knew Burke was gonna come back for it and I was like “well how does he fit into anything?” but overall I think it was fine. I mean, I could have done without seeing him again to be honest but aside from that I’m gonna miss Cristina a whole bunch.

Also, my housemate was on season 9 the last time I spoke to her so I’m not even surprised if she finished season 10 before me.

But here are my thoughts, I feel like my main focus this season was savouring the time with Cristina we had left but there was some other stuff going on too:

  • Cristina and Hunt keep having sex and I expect nothing less from them lol I don’t want them to be broken up
  • Callie running away to Meredith’s – man I’d be the same
  • I know looking back Arizona did deal with Callie having Mark’s baby which is a huge thing to process but like technically Callie and Arizona were broken up when Mark and Callie slept together which is better than Arizona literally cheating when they were married :/ complicated relationship
  • Omg Brooks is gone :/ I did kind of see it coming, I had no attachments to her so can’t be too sad
  • Too bad no one has anything nice to say to her
  • Also everyone freaking out about Richard was giving me anxiety but I knew he was gonna be okay, but also I would definitely give someone a head’s up that I had chosen them to make medical decisions about me
  • Look at the interns sticking up for one another. Cute.
  • April actually giving up on getting with Jackson and agreeing to marry Paramedic guy. I don’t know how this will go especially because they haven’t even been dating long lol
  • Wait, Richard didn’t wanna be saved…oh now this is a turn. Or is he just angry about the tube feeding? Either way, Meredith has grown a lot since season one she has feelings and cares for other people, THAT INCLUDES YOU RICHARD. Gosh. She was not just gonna let you die
  • Jackson hi-fiving April instead of hugging her was such a slap in the face
  • Callie standing up to Arizona and being like “No I ain’t going to therapy” is good. I don’t want her to go back there right away
  • Also Meredith and Derek be struggling with this baby and it’s showing lol they thought it’d be fine because they adopted a toddler but they really didn’t have to deal with a baby – I love them looking so domestic though
  • Okay Meredith and Derek in competition and being cute and stuff at the gala honestly I love them so much
  • Wow Arizona and April getting drunk in a supply closet is not something I could have imagined ever haha “Can I try on your leg?” – I mean I wish she had
  • Alex’s dad situation – I knew there was a reason he was so distracted…
  • It’s nice to see everyone dress up fancy every once in a while
  • Also that girl hitting on Hunt was cute and all but like my heart definitely broke for Cristina
  • I also love Cristina flirting to get that dolla and laughing in the guy’s face like yasss werk girl
  • “I have rebounded to the McDreamies” – definitely not a bad way to be Callie
  • So Meredith’s priorities have changed and she ain’t a happy bunny – is this where the marriage problems start?
  • It’s not because the McDreamies are just too perfect and of course Derek would step up to allow Meredith to shine because he’s just a babe
  • Jackson’s mum is always a fave when she comes around, judging Jackson’s girlfriend lol
  • I know Jo was trying real hard with Alex’s dad and that’s cute but seems like a waste
  • Callie dancing in her underwear is a mood and I love it
  • Murphy thinking she’s in love with Arizona is hilarious like girl you ain’t nothing special soz
  • Oh the Alex dad situation was a waste :/ I feel bad for him though because ALEX IS ALWAYS GETTING HURT – I remember when I was like stop sleeping on George – now it’s time to STOP SLEEPING ON ALEX – he deserves good things
  • So this is how the Cristina thing starts – she called out Meredith and then Meredith called her out and now…the friendship is…at a bump :/
  • Arizona sleeping with Murphy even though she just broke up with Callie? You ain’t even divorced! You should not just be jumping into bed with the next girl you see this isn’t cute
  • Ben just deciding to quit being a surgeon is the worst thing I have ever heard – if you don’t have the drive to stick the residency then what you even doing why go in the first place – of course Bailey is gonna be mad
  • Gah of course Callie wants to give Arizona another chance, but I won’t allow it – she needs to know Arizona been sleeping with an intern
  • I love that they don’t all sleep with each other, it’s just that they bring in new interns to sleep with lol – like Cristina and Alex? Ew and Meredith is with McDreamy so she ain’t sleeping around – April and Jackson already had their thing
  • Alex’s dad is back! Is this a thing? Is Alex gonna get his dad back and it’s gonna be cute? Or are they gonna kill off his dad because the show has already done it to George and Meredith…
  • April’s sisters are annoying af
  • Bailey has OCD? I did not expect that. I mean I guess it was triggered by the whole disease thing and Ben quitting residency and all that but poor girl 😦 It’s weird to see Bailey off her game
  • JACKSON NO YOU DIDN’T WAIT UNTIL APRIL’S WEDDING DAY TO SAY YOU LOVED HER GOD DAMN IT – but also I love he’s finally doing it like I didn’t see her with the paramedic either lol
  • Finally, Ross had a breakdown – it was bound to happen. Do I feel bad? Eh, he needed to be taken down a peg. Do I feel bad about how everyone is treating him since he came back? Yes, a little, I mean he didn’t deserve to be beaten by Alex, it was rough. But he has to learn from his mistakes – they all do
  • So Jackson and April ran away and got married – cute
  • Arizona and Callie are buying their house and making it work
  • Alex’s dad has died…and he also asked Jo to marry him?
  • Cristina and Meredith are working through things which is cute
  • Derek couldn’t say no to the president and Meredith is pissed lol
  • The interns are filing complaints against their superiors because of sexual harassment – we’ve had this before. When George was running around getting everyone to say who they’ve had sex with lol don’t see it lasting
  • Also Ben is back as a resident yay! That was a busy episode
  • See I told you Alex would be pissed all his friends were on the board eventually – I mean sure this is about them all being married and he can’t date his resident but still
  • YOU CAN’T BAN RELATIONSHIPS AT THE HOSPITAL THAT’S WHAT THE WHOLE SHOW IS ABOUT lol
  • Wow I had no idea that Jackson’s mom had so many rules about her grandchildren
  • Also if April and Jackson can’t agree on how they want their kids raised then the marriage is totally screwed
  • As if they could ever get rid of Webber too like he’s staying forever and that’s a fact
  • The episode where they show the what ifs for Cristina and Owen break my heart – I wanted them to work out so badly but it seems no matter what things will not be good between them :/
  • I wonder if Jackson and April really will resolve the kids and faith thing because so far it’s not looking like it will
  • OH MY GOD – so Cristina doesn’t win the Harper Avery because she works at the hospital that the Harper Avery foundation supports – IS THIS REALLY WHY SHE LEAVES ugh not a fan
  • So I’ve known Burke comes back to take Cristina away this whole time but like seeing him again is so weird – I just can’t believe Cristina is actually going to leave :/ this makes me so sad 😦
  • Jackson putting his beliefs aside for April and supporting her raising their child Christian is super cute – they will have a cute baby
  • So Callie and Arizona aren’t going to have another child after all that? Hmmm…
  • Would it really be Grey’s if they didn’t try to get rid of at least one intern per season – bye Murphy, it was nice knowing you
  • AS IF Derek thinks he can move to D.C. not today Satan, not today
  • They had one last dance party and I cried like a baby – CRISTINA 😥
  • Cristina put Alex on the board but Webber already told Bailey that she could be on the board…wow I can see this being a fun battle
  • I think it’s cute that Ross decided to go with Cristina, and another intern bites the dust
  • Meredith has ANOTHER half sister…great :/

And so now that we’ve said goodbye to Cristina Yang, there’s only one big exit left on the show that I know about and it’s McDreamy. Am I ready? No. No I’m not. He’s a babe and I just can’t imagine him being gone and Meredith left with the kids like…ugh my heart.

But I have to think positive because he doesn’t leave for another few seasons so I have to enjoy his presence while it lasts, and stock up on tissues to prepare for his departure.

In the meantime, I hope Callie and Arizona get their surrogate, Alex comes back to the hospital and we figure out what the deal is with another mysterious relative of Meredith’s showing up. I’ll be back with another post soon.
