Another season down!

So my housemate started watching Grey’s about the time I started season 9 and she’s already gotten to season 6. I think this is ridiculous and also I think I need to step up my game otherwise she’s going to catch up with me lol. That being said it’s nice to have someone to talk to about Grey’s.

Anyway, this season had a lot going on. Like I think more than usual. I mean it all started with the aftermath of the crash and just kept evolving from there. A lot happened, all the characters have grown. And as always I had a million and one thoughts on everything lol.

So please enjoy my thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy season 10:

• Crying from the first episode – great this season is gonna be great
• I am so annoyed that Sloan is gone – HE HAD GREAT MOMENTS
• Also can we talk about how we got a WHOLE EPISODE dedicated to Sloan leaving but Lexie died instantly and she got no flashbacks…like hi what? I know Mark has more history with basically all the characters but that was still a bit shady – Lexie was Meredith’s sister
• Also Arizona is alive! But she had to have her leg amputated did not see that one coming.
• Derek’s hand 😦 I don’t want this to be another Burke situation – this better be fixed!
• BOOTY CALL BAILEY – I can’t even deal lol
• And Meredith is the tough attending, who knew?
• But more interns who I don’t like at all – gross…
• Honestly having Mark appear in the episode directly after they killed him off is just mean
• Cristina better come back I swear to God
• I am so glad that Meredith and Derek are living in the dream house
• I’ve never seen Arizona angry before – this is so weird but also I get it – who wants to have their leg cut off
• I get it April, if I was around Jackson I wouldn’t be able to control myself either – you get it girl
• Bailey being annoyed at everyone is always a fun time
• Can we talk about Cristina sleeping with Rex Van De Camp lol I don’t know his doctor name but this is just weird
• I wonder how Hunt would feel if he knew she was sleeping with someone else are they even actually divorced?
• Also Cristina being friends with the old guy – love that
• But also she gotta come back to Seattle Grace please and thanks
• Okay when I said I wanted Cristina back I didn’t mean kill off her friend come on guys that’s mean
• Hunt honestly is such a cutie – like he fights for everyone and wants what’s best for them. Sure he cheated, but like overall he’s a pretty good guy – I can’t believe the lawyers wanna go after the hospital for what happened
• Derek gotta get his hand back I miss him
• Bailey pushing Arizona is fab – we love when she’s got schemes
• Alex and Cristina living together? I can’t imagine how this is going to go lol
• Hunt asking for divorce – ouch – I mean I know he’s doing it so Cristina gets money and everything but even so it’s harsh because Cristina was just going to get back together with him – is there a happy ending in there for either of them?
• Also Teddy is gone which is kind of sad because I liked her – I don’t know if I mentioned that in my blog post from last season but she was great
• Meredith is pregnant again! Yay! I hope they have the baby – their family is so cute I can’t get enough of it
• Bailey’s Christmas wedding – who would have thought? lol
• Adele! I can’t believe she’s gone – poor Richard… I know he was kind of getting on with Avery’s mom but he totally feels guilty for not visiting his wife 😦 Poor guy
• I was literally sobbing at Bailey’s wedding just because Richard was having flashbacks
• Cristina decided to get the divorce from Owen but they still going to be together? I can get behind that
• Are we really making a big deal about these interns because I don’t think I like them, except the one that has that friendship with Karev I guess
• I’m glad that Arizona and Callie are powering through – I need them together forever
• So now Cristina, Meredith, Derek and Arizona are rich…cool
• Also seems a bit weird that Callie wanted to have a dinner to celebrate I mean, sure they won but like still doesn’t feel great when Hunt was at fault
• Derek’s hand is getting better yassss
• Oh no…the hospital can’t go bankrupt…no one can get their money if this is what’s going on…
• Also side note, I’ve noticed we’ve completely forgotten that the hospital has that free clinic after Izzie donated all that money – unless they did something with it that I don’t recall
• Efficiency lady really… ew
• Bailey snapping at Derek about the money wasn’t cute, how were they supposed to know the money was going to come from the hospital?
• Meredith’s baby is kicking and it’s super cute
• They are closing the ER and selling 😦 this is gross
• Everyone sneaking a kid into the trauma center to save his life is nothing come on it’s so not like the time Izzie almost killed her boyfriend to get him a heart – leave them alone
• OH MY GOSH THEY ALL GIVE THE MONEY TO THE HOSPITAL I SEE IT NOW
• THAT’S WHY THEY RENAME IT SLOAN GREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
• April and the ambulance guy are cute – look at her getting her romance on
• DEREK’S FACE ON THE LIFT DOORS AHAHAHAHAHA
• Derek’s face on everything – honestly love that
• Of course April finds the only other person out there waiting until marriage and doesn’t tell him she had sex with Jackson
• You know it’s real when Bailey is thinking about walking out
• SOMEONE TELL OWEN IT’S BREAKING MY HEART SEEING HIS FACE
• Everything is crumbling and I’m crying because the hospital is going to close but I know Grey and everyone are gonna save it but can it happen like right now
• Avery’s mom really doing this – “momma just bought you a hospital” UM….
• This whole half the doctors own the hospital and are on the board of directors thing is kind of weird…like you know Alex is really pissed that he ain’t part of it
• I hate that Meredith is the one talking about how Derek should off her if she gets sick when I KNOW Derek is the one that leaves 😦
• Oh no…what did Bailey do
• Okay so it was the gloves, not Bailey…she didn’t know but she still mad about it
• Owen is gonna adopt that kid isn’t he – he feels connected to her
• Can April and Jackson be friends again or is that just not gonna be a thing
• Jo dating that guy Bailey had a thing with ages ago – did not see that one coming – but also just get with Alex already plz
• ARIZONA CHEATING UM NO. GET OUT. CALLIE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS
• Meredith had her baby and all is well with her. Sure she almost died but like would it really be meredith if she didn’t almost die?
• Are Cristina and Owen officially over now? I wish she would’ve been okay with the kid
• I know Arizona is still pissed about her leg but God damn girl that doesn’t mean you can cheat. Callie has a right to be angry with her.
• Is April gonna marry that guy or what. I mean you can’t just agree to marry him and then just decide “but Jackson is the one” – the guy arranged a flash mob for you
• Yasss Jo and Alex make it work
• I know Richard is gonna be okay but can someone please find him

Another season done and dusted. Honestly this one was a roller coaster from start to finish. Like first we lost mark, then we almost lost the hospital, Bailey got married, and killed patients, Arizona lost her leg and cheated, Meredith had a baby!

I think this has been one of my favourite seasons. So much has happened and it’s been super dramatic like all seasons before but I don’t know. I think I just really enjoyed the storylines this season.

Now on to season 10! I’m excited about also not excited because I know this is the season where Cristina leaves and I’m not ready for that. She’s Meredith’s person and we need her. But I guess we see how it goes, I better stock up on tissues.

Another season down. Only six to go and then I’m on season 15 and watching with everyone else. That being said I’m probably gonna be caught up at the end of season 15 which makes me upset because that just means waiting forever for season 16…

But yes, this was a long season of Grey’s and this is probably the longest one of these blog posts I’ve made yet. I did think of slowing down on the bullet points but then that went out the window with the last couple of episodes lol.

So here’s my thoughts – looking back we have come a long way this season, and I can’t even imagine what’s to come next:

• Meredith got fired. And everyone still hates Alex. This is gonna be a good season.
• April is not going to be able to control everyone else but it’s cute that she thinks she can.
• McDreamy plz talk to Meredith again you guys supposed to be the OTP…
• The Chief stepping down and Hunt stepping up is so weird – like I never thought about who might be Chief next but I don’t think it was gonna be Hunt. The last competition for Chief of Surgery was so much fun…
• April is finding her feet! Yay!
• Bailey being sassy to Hunt is everything
• Love that Cristina and Teddy don’t know how to take out an appendix – y’all as bad as each other
• Also can Meredith and Derek have their baby back – that was cute – them almost breaking up and not having a baby is not
• It’s been a few episodes and like where is Lexie? I know she younger than the rest of them but where did she go?
• Also that episode that focused on the guys instead of Meredith and Cristina was real cute
• Love that they can’t build a deck
• Oh my God Lexie appeared! Only to be shipped away by Jackson…alright then
• Of course Jackson’s mom is a surgeon it runs in the family
• Bailey’s old man appeared and she dumped the new one. Okay so she getting back with the old one? Plus I also thought she wanted him to wait for her so…it wasn’t clear
• They talked about George </3 gah I miss him
• Why are Meredith and Alex always in the accidents? Like Meredith drowning/putting her hand on a bomb…Alex getting shot? What’s up with you guys
• So Teddy’s husband is gone… RIP but also knew he wasn’t going to be around long because the actor is a major part of Scandal the other Shonda Rhimes TV show…
• Jackson has finally decided to end it with Lexie because she’s still kind of in love with Mark Sloan lol surprised that they lasted this long
• Also Lexie’s new fringe is not cute, I didn’t like Meredith’s either. Let’s not make this a trend.
• Okay having Meredith and Derek keep Zola was the best decision they are the cutest family
• And everyone moving out of Meredith’s – gonna miss that crazy house lol

 

• OH MY GOSH they are doing a what if episode – I am so for this here are some thoughts on just that episode:
• First of all Ellis and Webber can’t even deal
• Callie as a heart surgeon and not with Arizona can’t even
• Bailey! SO SHY
• Cristina and Meredith are not each other’s person omg what is this
• Derek and Addison together and she pregnant – omg can’t
• CALLIE IS WITH HUNT HAHAHA WOW – so unexpected
• MEREDITH IS WITH ALEX AND HE IS A DORK – this is too weird
• Lexie the druggie with dreadlocks – she looks ridiculous
• Alex and April doing it on the side hahahahahaha
• Also Charles is still alive? And they briefly mentioned Izzie and George – I wish they had got them back for one episode…
• MCDREARY I’M CRYING
• Okay but like overall that was a really fun ep – ya know imagine if that’s how the show really was – I’d die

 

• Surprised Teddy hasn’t forgiven Owen for Henry – like she’s chill with Cristina? I imagine they work it out
• Sloan and Lexie are they gonna get back together or what’s the deal – he’s with that other girl but Lexie just wants to tell him – and girl I want ya to tell him too – you both make an exit this season and I imagine you do it as a couple
• Are Cristina and Hunt over? I mean at least they trying counseling…
• Derek accusing everyone being racist just because he didn’t do Zola’s hair is hilarious
• Sloan trying to get Avery laid is cute lol guess they are real good friends now
• HUNT CHEATED or damn this is not good and the last thing I expected from him wtf
• Okay but Sloan as Chief in that suit with the earpiece – I love it
• Also I see we remember that Callie is a genius when it comes to studying and she helped Meredith so yay!
• I can also see that Teddy is so not handling this whole Henry thing very well…
• The boards! They all so close to being doctors – BUT ALSO THEY ALL GONNA LEAVE?!
• I mean I know for the purposes of the show that probably isn’t gonna last but come on guys
• Also I can totally see why they drop Lexie because she’s younger than all of them so kind of just lifts out
• APRIL AND JACKSON – I died. Like what’s going on there? I guess not a lot since April failed her boards but like…that could be something I could be behind
• Cristina and Hunt officially over because Cristina has decided to go elsewhere? I guess she made her choice. But I think besides the cheating Hunt was a keeper.
• Also can’t believe Meredith and Derek aren’t even gonna get to live in that house – we’ve been waiting for this house 8 seasons and now they gonna leave?!
• I also need to take some time to feel sorry for Richard after his wife fell in love with that guy at the care home – I mean he was a saint and he didn’t deserve that. Heartbreaking – but him and Jackson’s mom though…I see that
• Bailey got a proposal from her man! It probably wasn’t the best in the middle of that O.R. but hey I thought it was cute
• THERE WAS A PLANE CRASH OH MY GOD
• Even though I knew about the plane crash I was still shocked
• YOU DIDN’T TELL ME EVERYONE WAS GONNA GO DOWN
• MEREDITH
• DEREK
• CRISTINA
• MARK
• LEXIE
• ARIZONA
• WHAT THE HECK
• Of course I cried – like they all stranded out there, Lexie is gone, the rest of them barely holding on…
• THIS AIN’T RIGHT

And so here we are again at the end of another season of Grey’s Anatomy. You know…you think I would get used to all the traumatizing things that happen by now but apparently not.

This season seemed to be a long one, lots of stuff going on. But maybe it’s because I’ve been busy lately and haven’t been able to watch as much as normal lol. Even as I’m writing this I know I have uni work to be doing but I needed to get my thoughts out there.

I’m so ready to start in on season 9 too. I need to see everyone get rescued and be fine. But I guess that has to wait. The struggles of having responsibilities and other things to do…that being said I should also get back to reading, kind of haven’t been doing that either…

Anyway, I should end this here otherwise I’m gonna ramble forever – I don’t think I’ll ever get the hang of ending blog posts…but I will be back very soon with another Grey’s Anatomy blog post that’s for sure.

I have just finished season 5 and I am an emotional wreck. I’ve been writing this post as I’ve been watching so there are a lot more bullet points this time around. They are also probably not in the best order because things changed in the show and as they did I had new thoughts so may be a bit messy but that’s kind of how I feel the last couple of seasons were.

So let’s just dive right in because why else would you be here?

• Burke and Addison left with no warning?! This annoyed me.
• First of all, Burke, that’s so rude. Just walking out on Cristina and not coming back? Wow. Did not expect this from you.
• Then my fave Addison, ugh, you went to that spin-off in LA and I don’t know if I can ever forgive you. I don’t know if I will even watch the spin-off even if it is just for you because, well…it didn’t look that great from what we saw on Grey’s Anatomy…but we’ll see.
• Alex and Ava – that was a journey. But also hey Elizabeth Reaser hey, guess this is what she was doing before Twilight. Though honestly, I had a feeling it wasn’t going to work out, that girl didn’t seem to be very stable…then it turned out she wasn’t…sorry Alex.
• So…George and Izzie didn’t work out which sucks, but are they even still friends? It seems like everyone is ignoring George since he failed his intern exam and once again he’s in the background – WHY CAN’T WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE GEORGE?
• Izzie and Alex 2.0? I definitely thought George and Izzie were going to get together…just not right now…
• It’s a bit confusing.
• Callie is with Hahn and I didn’t expect it but you know I am rooting for it. They seem so unlikely to be together and yet there they are – ugh, cute.
• Also amazed they managed to keep it a secret for so long with the way gossip spreads in that hospital.
• UPDATE on the Callie and Hahn situation – I wrote the last two bullet points before I watched season 5 – WTF I can’t believe they did Hahn like that. No. Unacceptable. She was a good character and should have stayed.
• McSteamy is actually a decent guy – where’s his love interest?
• Okay he gets with Meredith’s sister? Um…No I don’t like that.
• It’s cute they try to squeeze in moments with Sloan and Lexie but it’s legit not working out well at all. Also can’t believe Lexie moved into Meredith’s house and left George living in that crappy apartment alone.
• I hate that McDreamy and Meredith can do that on-again off-again thing that makes me love them when they are together. But when they aren’t together they become really unbearable so like…I don’t know if I can be okay with this roller coaster.
• This new trauma guy is not my favourite – that’s all I gotta say.
• Yo Hunt trying to kill Cristina in his sleep because of PTSD – damn, I mean I see them ending up together and working through it but that’s scary.
• Meredith’s sister and George? Lol no. Let’s not make that a thing.
• George passing his intern exam! YAY! Now can he please go back to having bigger storylines because I like him.
• He’s still in the background I’m so mad.
• Izzie seeing her dead fiance and having sex with him? Yikes. Who wrote this…
• So turns out Izzie is sick – this is starting to make sense…but also I did read about her leaving the show and this is probably how it’s gonna go down.
• This new heart surgeon woman does not fit in with the team…not a fan.
• Die and Deth? Haha kind of love it but also why is Meredith’s friend crazy thinking she can just have the interns take her appendix out like???
• So Sadie didn’t last long – not surprised tbh.
• Honestly, all the new interns are just kind of annoying?
• YASSS MCDREAMY PROPOSED!
• Also yasss Callie for being the LGBT representation we need but her and the Addison replacement, Arizona? I don’t know how to feel about them – I guess I’m just mad that they got rid of Hahn and replaced her with this new girl…
• Izzie and Alex getting married? I seriously thought Izzie and George were the ones…
• GEORGE IS GOING TO THE ARMY? NO GEORGE – guys I already know he leaves the show and I googled and they kill him off ffs. He couldn’t just have a happy life?
• This is so sad because he was a great character and then they just threw him into the background.
• I broke down like a baby at the end of season 5 – like Izzie in the lift like when she was going to meet Denny and then it opens and it’s George – IT REALLY GOT ME. And I’m not okay with this at all…

So that’s where I’m at. Not sure where we go from here or what to expect in season 6. I know for sure that George is the one that doesn’t survive and I know Izzie leaves later in the season, but aside from that who knows?

I feel like the show is currently kind of messy in terms of characters and storylines, it’s almost exhausting to keep up with the way they write out characters and bring new ones in. And I don’t even like all the new people they throw in, so I don’t know how this is gonna go, I mean you can’t watch a show if you don’t like at least one of the characters…

But for right now the plan is to soldier through, I think I’ll get over George in time, he was already so in the background that when they did shine light on him it was a miracle…but now the question is, who else is leaving the show?

I could Google it but then I’d spoil the show more than I already have, so I guess I just keep watching.

No doubt I’ll be back very soon with another season recap so stay tuned!

I am finally going to watch all of Grey’s Anatomy. This is something I’ve wanted to do for the last year or so, mainly because the show is produced by Shonda Rhimes and I already love her shows Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, so I naturally thought this would be the next step.

And as usual when I watch TV shows I have a lot of thoughts on them and because the whole world has probably watched all of Grey’s Anatomy already and would not appreciate me live-tweeting the whole thing, I think it’s better to collect all my thoughts in blog posts as I make it through season to season.

These are not going to be really long or full of insight or anything, this is just the mind of a girl that watches way much TV and gets emotionally involved with fictional characters. So I’m doing it in bullet points to make it easier.

I have just finished season three and here are my thoughts on the series so far:

• Meredith doesn’t deserve McDreamy. He’s so wonderful and she doesn’t see it and that bothers me.
• Cristina and Burke broke my heart. I didn’t see them being more than a fling and then they got right up to the wedding and Burke walked away?! Damn it Burke. Though when you really looked at the relationship you could see the flaws.
• George. Wow. There’s a lot I can say about George. First of all, WHY WAS EVERYONE SLEEPING ON HIM HE’S SUCH A GEM. He’s a good guy and doesn’t deserve what he goes through. Especially that whole Meredith situation.
• George and Izzie? Unexpected. But they’d be cute together so can they make that a thing?
• What even is George’s relationship with Callie. He kind of fell into it and doesn’t communicate with her and she just kind of throws things at him. It’s doomed to fail. Unless George finally gets it together and stands up to her more than he currently does.
• George and his failing his intern exam. Oh George 😦 you been through so much. Why couldn’t he have just passed with everyone else?
• I think Meredith maybe should have just stayed with the vet…
• Meredith’s dad is actually the worst? Not to mention he’s the same actor that plays Cyrus Beene in Scandal and he’s not a great guy in that either.
• Why are everyone’s parents dying? That’s not cute.
• Addison is actually a fave of mine and I kind of have a crush on her.
• But when Addison went to LA and they were trying to set that spin up thing off I did not appreciate it – we had other things going on people! I don’t have time for the spin-off.
• Izzie and Denny were really cute and it killed me that he didn’t survive.
• Alex is actually a decent human being? Who knew? But also he deserves to get with someone if everyone else is.
• Why am I still shocked when everyone sleeps with each other even though this is exactly that kind of show? Like I never saw Alex and Addison coming, and Izzie and George was also a wild one lol
• McSteamy was a great addition to the show just because he’s McSteamy though he could be nicer to interns.
• Bailey is a babe and I love her.
• I got so upset when Meredith was practically dying but also I was annoyed I got emotional even though I know she lives – the shows been going on for 15 seasons, I think I would know if they killed off the main character or not.
• I loved seeing the attendants fight over who was gonna be chief because we never see them like that.
• I was relieved that they didn’t use Izzie’s money as an excuse to write her out of the show – I know she leaves eventually but like I didn’t want it to be so soon.

Those were some of the main thoughts I’ve had on the show so far, if you could not tell I am loving this show. There are so many characters and so much drama that I am more than ready for.

So expect more updates as I progress, and I’ll continue to try and avoid spoilers on the internet at all costs. Now, onto season 4…
