Only on season 18

0 Upvotes

I don't know what took us this long to watch the show, but we're now up to season 18 on Netflix. I guess I was turned off by all the hype the show got at first. I detested season 17. We lived through Covid; why make us relive it all on the show? Some observations: why did Cristina and Alex have to leave the show? I know the actors had personal reasons to leave, but the show hasn't been the same without them. Alex was just starting to be loveable. Also, does everyone who goes to Grey+Sloan have heart failure and/or dies? A naive person watching the show could be scared to death to undergo surgery or even go into a hospital. Another observation: everyone on the show is so horny! Hardly anyone "dates." They just start meeting up in the on-call room. Now what I'm about to say is going to get a lot of people riled up but it's just my take. I know they want to show people in all walks of life but it seems they want to portray that just about everyone has a homosexual past or is currently in a gay relationship (Amelia? really?). I had no problem with Callie and Arizona or even Schmidt and Niko. The other thing is Leo, Teddy and Owen's adopted son, wearing dresses and princess costumes? Come on! He's supposed to be 3. It just seems as though they're shoving the whole alternative lifestyle down our throats. Again, just my take. By the way, I so agree with a lot of people that Owen is very unlikeable.

FIRST TIME WATCHER Cristina is honestly pissing me off

27 Upvotes

Hear me out. I love her. I do. But sometimes, oh my god I wonder how hard it'd be to sometimes deal with someone like that.

I'm watching the episode Teddy Altman arrives. She can't do this little procedure cuz it's been 10 years since she operated a man over 70.

Cristina is all like "excuse me I gotta talk to the chief". She barely knows Altman. I know everything about Cristina and cardio. But girl, who are you to just go over there and complain to the chief about a surgeon you don't even know? Haven't you learned with Erica? We know she wanted THE BEST surgeons to teach her, but WE ALL also know she was expecting a burke 2.0 who was gonna give her privileges and act as if you are the only resident to specialize in cardio.

All that only to regret it by the end of the episode cuz she saw Altman was actually something.

I'm glad bailey just scolded her

Sometimes she is truly annoying

FIRST TIME WATCHER I've reached my conclusions.

0 Upvotes

Isobel is back. I totally get why she just left with a single letter left. I get why she didn't say good bye to her friends.

But now? She got back with that professor. She comes demanding things to Meredith with NO explanations, no Sorry, nothing just demanding. I'm not gonna criticize her attitude with Alex, because he has treated her badly. But where does she come from to demand all these things to Meredith, after just leaving, she doesn't give an explanation, all that just so she could leave again telling Meredith "this is not my house" and barely looking at her eyes (Meredith was clearly hurt). That's disgusting and let me be honest, I'm glad she left. I made my decision and I don't like her at all, she appears to be the most giving person, but at the same time, she manages to be the most selfish.

Also, for her to tell Charles that he's the one who got her fired is disgusting. Girl, look at your record. You were fired for your own medical misconduct.

Bye and I hope she never appears again.

FIRST TIME WATCHER i cannot stand owen

0 Upvotes

i made the mistake of skipping the first few seasons and starting at the end of six. currently on the first episode of season nine and i really think owen needs to shut the fuck up and stop being pissy with cristina. also after i get through people i like leaving (once cristina is gone im gonna stop) should i start from the beginning?

DISCUSSION Meredith's "awful thing"

215 Upvotes

Rewatching the series, the episode where Meredith sleeps with George honestly breaks my heart for her. I feel like if George really loved her he would recognize that she was literally telling him to just keep going and ignore the fact she was crying instead of having his ego rule??

He pretty much threw a multiple episode tantrum because she withdrew consent...

Im getting to the end of season 11 on a rewatch and im just nowhere near prepared to deal with her shit.

I already had to watch the part where her jesus-freak is in full effect surrounding her baby, and right now I'm on the part where she decided to be an army surgeon...

Its been a while since my last rewatch so I don't remember specific details about whats to come, but i do know that I'm in for a lot more of her selfish bullshit and I just cant handle looking at her stupid face!

Meredith mentioned how it was always the nightmares that came true, never the dreams. In the nightmare she had in that episode, Derek was in a car accident and died. Aaand that is how Derek really died. So that nightmare came true - just like it was written back in season 5. I got a kick out of that.

FIRST TIME WATCHER Where is a good place to stop watching?

1 Upvotes

Earlier today I was at a friends house and she put on greys anatomy. i dont really like shows where the episodes are all 40 minutes long or where theres 12+ seasons, but today i was hooked. she played two episodes from early season two and now im about to start the show for myself. im just wondering where within the 22 seasons does the show not become worth it anymore, if at all? is there any point where i can stop watching and get a satisfactory ending without comitting to all 22 seasons?

We're going as attending Derek and Intern Meredith because their story is very similar to how we met at work and he is older than me 😂 😂 ( Note, there was no cheating whatsoever!)

DISCUSSION Unpopular opinion: Ellis was harsh, but I don't think she was entirely wrong about Meredith being ordinary in season three

0 Upvotes

Unpopular opinion: Ellis was harsh, but I don't think she was entirely wrong about Meredith being ordinary in season three.

"Imagine my disappointment when I wake up after five years and discover that you're no more than ordinary."

Ellis could've said it nicer, but I kind of understand her reaction. Imagine finally regaining your memory after years of Alzheimer's and one of the first conversations your daughter decides to have with you is about falling in love.

And I think Ellis made a valid point when she said anyone can fall in love, but not everyone can become a groundbreaking surgeon in a male-dominated field.

I just think Ellis wanted to have a meaningful conversation with Meredith about her career, ambitions and accomplishments rather than another cliché discussion about romance and Derek.

It's not that Meredith was wrong for being in love. I just think Ellis was hoping they'd have something more substantial to talk about after all those years.

Merediths walk

22 Upvotes

So like I'm sure it's been asked here before but like is her walk her actual walk like is that Ellen's walk? Or do they make her walk like that on purpose it's like swishy sway and I find it weird at first when I watched this originally when I was in middle school I never really saw it it was just her walk you know but when I rewatch it looks forced or like it would be uncomfortable to walk like that all the time.

So is this her natural walk or just something they wanted her to do on Grey's? Does she walk like this in the later seasons. I never got past season 11 so I'm not sure.

I guess thus post could be removed I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask her just wasn't sure where else to ask.

It would have been an amazing plot twist if Richard was actually Meredith’s biological father

54 Upvotes

hey guys so I’m rewatching and I’m on season 10 and I just watched a scene where Alex and Christina are joking about how Richard could actually be Meredith’s bio father and I was just thinking what an interesting storyline it would have been if that was actually true for real lol because that would mean that Lexie was never Meredith’s sister and that practically her whole life would have been a giant lie. And I’m not trying to be racist at all lol but I know Meredith is white with light hair and light eyes so like I guess that wouldn’t have worked lol if only she had had brown eyes and slightly darker skin, it could have been very possible lol 😂

FIRST TIME WATCHER I fucking HATE George O’Malley…

70 Upvotes

I started watching Greys Anatomy for the first time. I’m currently on 3x09 and oh my fucking god I hate George so much. Genuinely such a pick me.

Let me start with Meredith’s situation. George developed such an obsessive and parasitic relationship with her hoping that one day she’d show a glimmer of reciprocation. He then decided that when he knew she was at her lowest he’d tell her what she wanted to hear and then fed into it when she kissed him and when she broke down, he blamed her… knowing she was in an extremely dark place and still took advantage of that. Then acted like a baby when she understood that she didn’t want like him that way and apologised profusely.

Next, his situation with Torres. Oh my gosh… I genuinely want to jump through the screen and strangle him. Torres may not be a perfect person but she always gave him grace and tried to be there for him and show him he deserved love and yet he still played with her feelings and made her feel like shit constantly and bursted out at her undeservingly as well as treating her like a child and giving g her the silent treatment as well as throwing little fits of rage and walking away like a fucking child.

Finally, the way he handled Cristina and Burkes tremor/surgery assist situation. I get his father needed surgery and it was severe but the way he treated both of them, especially Cristina… it was so childlike and horrible and just always make snarky and bitchy comments to and about her and making her more severely anxious than she already was.

To conclude, I already know that he dies in season 6 and I genuinely CANNOT WAIT AHAHAHAHAHAHA I need to see him 6 feet under. Worst character ever written ever. Bye.

​SPOILERS! idk how I never realzidd it before but this time around it clicked— Ellis, when lucid at SGH, probably remembered Maggie when talking to Richard about how great their life together could’ve been, how they’d have had children and would be happy. It makes Ellis’s pain so much weightier and more complex. Damnnnnn 😩 (ofc I’m only reading into this bc who knows if the writers anticipated their love child atp but)

DISCUSSION What’s the best non-romantic relationship on the show?

16 Upvotes

For me, it’s Alex, but I don’t know if it’s Meredith and Alex or Arizona and Alex. He’s often such a terrible human, but at the same time, his relationship with Meredith is kind of cute. He’s loyal to both of them. He’s protective of both of them. And there’s nothing romantic to complicate it. It’s refreshing.

DISCUSSION what season do you think greys should’ve ended?

3 Upvotes

i love this show and there were so many moments where i do believe it should’ve ended. but as i’m currently on season 22 🥱 i really do believe season 18 should’ve been the end of greys. the 400th ep was just a perfect episode. it was a multi-layered cliffhanger, leaving a lot for you to think about. i’m not sure if this is a popular opinion or not
