| Lay Your Hands On Me |
'Lay Your Hands On Me', which is what is possibly, the 4th season finale of Grey's Anatomy, will hence forth be the known as the one where everybody turns single.
It was the long awaited return of my favourite television serial, even though, I must admit, the long wait and depressing, messy story lines have sort of dampened my enthusiasm for the show. I find myself not as great a Grey's Anatomy fan as I was two years ago.
As always, this entry is going to be laden with spoilers. *SPOILERS GALORE* people!
So where do we start? The breakdown of Bailey's marriage? The breakdown of MerDer? The breakdown of every ounce of respect I had for Derek? The breakdown of Izzie's and George's "special friendship"? (Oh wait, that was last week's episode!) The breakdown of Cristina's robotic tendencies? The breakdown of Alex's 'bad-boy' tendencies? The breakdown of Lexie's and Hahn's isolation? There's just so much to talk about.
Let's talk about Bailey's marriage. I honestly find it extremely cliche that they are rehashing the old career woman struggling with career and marriage storyline. Because, it is honestly over used, and didn't we have a similar storyline about balancing career and marriage in the Chief's own story? And didn't we already see how it ended? And now, we are having a total re visitation of that storyline, And lo and behold, its probably going to end in divorce too. How sad. But then again, this storyline is extremely realistic, and if it gave the producers to use Bailey as this week's special voice-over, then I'll live with that. Because Bailey's voice over was cool, because she's cool. And hot. All at the same time.
The breakup of MerDer. AND SO, it ends, again. Like Rachel and Ross from Friends, these two soul mates are once again, separated from each other. I was reading online forums the other day and someone actually counted the number of episodes that Mer and Der where actually a couple, and believe it or not, these two were only an official couple in around 19 out of over 80 odd episodes. Like what the heck? And now, they have broken up again. Its quite sad really. And Derek really ended up in my bad books today - What is up with Rose? I can't stand her, she honestly looks like a horse. And the two of them have zero chemistry. But anyway, I think Derek's a real disappointment, and all this is nothing of Mer's fault - the whole idea of building a house together just after she said that she didn't want him to date other people is totally off and completely illogical. He is jumping the gun. And after Mer says she doesn't want to build a house with him, he goes off and asks horse-faced Rose out for dinner. Like wtf? He just wants someone to fit that role of loving girlfriend for him. Just wait for Mer to be ready, you piece of shit.
So George's mom thinks he is going to hell because he broke off his marriage to Callie, and he committed adultery. Well, guess what? I think he is going to hell too! But I never knew Momma O'Malley is such a traditional woman. And now the whole George-Izzie thing seems to be spiraled out of control and completely destroyed already. Which is good. But I foresee that George is going to move in with Lexie and they'll end up hooking up and sleeping together, because despite George's appearance, he's also a player, and has managed to become friends and then sleep with three attractive girls in Seattle Grace hospital. O'Lexie is just waiting to be born.
Cristina has feelings. For a baby no less. I think this aspect of Cristina's really like me. I do not like children, and at this point of time, I do not foresee me ever having children of my own. Just like Cristina. But then again, when the time calls for me to show some heart to poor injured/sick children, I'll still let my feelings show. Because sick children and the sick elderly are the two kinds of patients that deserve the most care and don't deserve being in the state that they are in. And whoever said Cristina is a robot is so wrong because her relationship with Burke proved to all of us that she's far from being a mechanical robot - she's passionate and fierce about her feelings as well. So she rocks my socks. Big time.
So Alex has a dark secret that he isn't willing to share. Dark dark secret that turned him from a sweet boy to a bad man. We'll just wait and see if he's going to spill. And how many of you saw hints of a return of the fabulous Alex-Izzie coupling at the end of the episode? Its so obvious that Alex will always have a soft spot for Izzie and I think they were actually meant for each other. Just that lots of strange people like Denny and George turned up along the way. Maybe it'll be the second MerDer! Who knows.
And finally, Lexie's no longer so alone anymore, with Mer being semi-sisterly to her and George 'proposing' that they stay together. Which is about time, because the poor girl's been alone for far too long. And Hahn finding a friend in Callie. I love Callie, because she's a girl who is so natural and not afraid of being herself, no matter how abrasive and drastic she may be. And Hahn's also somewhat similar - she's also unafraid of offending people with her no nonsense attitude, like how she did to Miranda. She's obnoxious, but she does it with style. Sassy. So Callie and Hahn - going to be just like Callie and Addy (who is sorely missed!) I think.
That's all for Grey's watch this week. Til the next episode (or even season!).
Time to start packing for the big move. Sigh.Labels: grey's anatomy |
