We suffered a mass murder


Well Grey's is back, and I think it will be a banner year. I can't put up with another lackluster season just because they have feature film worthy finales. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's premiere. It didn't drag out their grief and it got back to the hospital, which is why people tune in. Below are some key observations from last night's episode.

Christina and Owen getting married- I don't like Owen. I just don't. But I did enjoy seeing a more vulnerable side of Christina. Although I did get the feeling that she was only marrying him because she is afraid to ever be alone.

Mark and Lexie- they are my fave couple on the show right now. He gets hotter each episode, and I have always been a Lexie fan. She, to me, was the best part of last night's episode. I wanted to see more of her breakdown. She was GREAT in that therapy scene where she started spouting off her photographic-memory account of mass murder. And she really stuck it to Alex in the kitchen.

Derek resigning as Chief- I feel that they rushed this story. We were only 10 minutes into the season premiere and it was as if the whole last season (i.e. Webber getting canned because of the drinking) was erased. It was almost as if Shonda said, "I call Do Over!" I like The Chief being Chief, better than Derek being Chief, but I wasn't completely on board with how it was done. Why would the Board reinstate him that quickly after all the alcoholoc stuff from last year. HOWEVER, maybe I missed this: Had he been performing as interim Chief during Derek's rehab? If so, that makes more sense. But still the whole Jerry-Maguire-esqe "I quit" was a little odd to me.

Meredith's miscarriage and the such- I love that she had a miscarriage. I am the devil!! But Grey's is definitely for dark and twisty, so it's okay. I read that Shonda had Meredith suffer a miscarriage so that Meredith could decide whether SHE wanted babies. I love that. It's better than her being pregnant or there being another baby. Sometimes I don't like people having babies on TV. Not yet for MerDer anyway. And I love that she hasn't told him. It's that pregnant (no pun intended) tension in every conversation they have. LOVED the scene where he says, "Let's make a baby." Her face. His scar. Genius.

Bailey and her blues- I love me some Bailey. I wanted her to stay with her hot man. But I like how she resented him for not having gone through what she went through. She knows, logically, that he isn't to blame for playing golf that day. But her heart is jealous and angry, and no one can emote like Bailey. I hope they work it out though, because girl needs some lovin.

The lesbots- I still don't like watching them kiss. Does that make me a homophobe? (my pal TallyHo says this: maybe it's bc kali is so large and in charge) Aside from that, I love them. Arizona is up there with my favorites, and I like her and Callie's relationship- be it friendship or love. I totally understand why Arizona doesn't want to have babies, too.

My wishes- I want Mandy Moore to come back. I think (because I read it) that she will, and that will be the catalyst for Bailey really dealing with her PTSD. I also want Teddy to leave. I hate her.
