The latest episode of Grey's was so uninteresting that I didn't even read the full AfterEllen.com recap - just read the first and last pages, where most of the Calzona stuff was - but I loved this:
I only kinda disagree with the Alex bit because as much as I dislike the character, he's definitely one of the more realistic ones. He's gone from being a stereotypical jerk in S1 to a stereotypical jerk who actually secretly cares a lot about shit... all without ever being portrayed in a stereotypical manner. I don't get why every female character feels the need to "make him less of an ass," though. Leave the man alone! (Somewhat relatedly, downgrading George to a character who just passed charts/made offhand comments once in a while is how Shonda Rhimes managed to make TR Knight frustrated enough to leave.)
Anyway, idk why I'm suddenly commenting so much on this show when I've probably never liked it less. I think it's because I'm actually watching it on a week-by-week basis instead of watching the whole season at one go like I usually do, which would mean that my thoughts would be too messed up and numerous for me to ever bother writing a post on them. Because I'm too lazy to set up filters or anything, apologies for the fangirl spam, and I've never held it against any of you for scrolling past these posts so y'know, do what you gotta do heh.
Is it just me, or was this episode really boring?
I hate when people criticize and don’t give suggestions to help make things better, so below are some of my ideas for making Grey’s less boring:
- Fire April. IMMEDIATELY!
- No more storylines that focus on Alex. He can walk by and hand someone a chart, but that’s it. No more dialogue. I get it. He’s a douche and has been for seven seasons.
- MORE CRISTINA! Even Cristina just staring is more interesting than anything else going on with the show right now.
- MORE CALZONA just being CALZONA. No drama needed. Just have them painting each other’s nails and feeding each other bon bons. Wait, maybe Calzona needs a spin-off called Eating Bon Bons with Calzona. Mark can be there too, in the background. But, like Alex, he has no dialogue.
