DISCUSSION Season 1/22 and My Eyes Already Need Surgery. Thank you! Meredith Grey

• Upvotes

Started Grey’s Anatomy from Season 1. 5 episodes in, cant stop rolling my eyes and tilting my head watching Meredith Grey react to a dying patient with the same face she uses for a bad coffee Seriously?? Man! there are 22 seasons. I am appreciating my own patience. Actually Elena Gilbert from Vampire dairies had two expressions, and one of them was for her evil twin.

DISCUSSION Why is Meredith so awful to Amelia? Spoiler

Post image
188 Upvotes

Doing a rewatch and I can’t understand the animosity Meredith has towards Amelia. Yes, Amelia seems neurotic and annoying at times, but Meredith is just so mean to her. I think it was inexcusable that Meredith didn’t call Amelia when Derek was dying in the hospital. The rest of Derek’s family may have been too far away to make it in time, but Amelia was there, she deserved to see her brother before he was taken off life support. Then there’s this scene where Meredith just stomps all over her. What was the point of making their relationship so contentious? It makes Meredith seem terrible.

DISCUSSION What's everyone's honest opinion on Callie Torres? Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I love Callie, but I have a complicated relationship with her as a character. 😭

I love how deeply she loves her people and how hard she's willing to fight for them. When she cares about someone, she really shows up for them, and I think that's one of her best qualities.

However, her impulsivity and immaturity have frustrated me throughout her arc. I also didn't like how she sometimes seemed to expect Arizona to want children simply because that's what Callie wanted or because having kids was considered the standard. Wanting children is completely valid, but so is not wanting them, and I think that difference deserved more understanding from both sides.

And the custody battle? I hated what Callie did there. I understand that she was hurting and wanted to move forward with her life, but taking Sofia across the country would have had a huge impact on her daughter. Sofia wasn't just part of Callie's life; she had another parent, too. I don't think Callie's feelings justified making a decision that could disrupt Sofia's relationship with Arizona and Sofia's life overall.

Overall, I love Callie's character arc, but I feel like the custody battle damaged the way I viewed her. I still love her, but her impulsivity and immaturity are flaws I can't ignore.

What do you all think? Do you love Callie, dislike her, or fall somewhere in between? And what do you think about her actions during the custody battle?

She was a robot, so they should have told her it was Henry. She would have gave her all in her magical way and if he still died, would have felt less guilty, because she knows what giving everything was from the time she held her fathers heart as a child. JMO

I feel bad for Ava/Rebecca

4 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of videos and comments and posts and stuff about how much people hate Ava/Rebecca (I’m just going to call her Ava because I don’t wanna keep typing that long ass name over and over again lol) and like honestly I don’t get it. Why would anyone blame her for what she did? She was clearly mentally ill and it wasn’t her fault that she became mentally ill. She suffered an extremely traumatic event, physically and mentally, and it caused her to lose her memory. Alex was the first person who gave her any sort of “identity” because she literally didn’t even know her name or what she was supposed to look like before her face got destroyed, so of course she naturally fell in love with Alex, because he was the only person who “knew” her. The accident triggered her to become mentally ill (I think they said she had borderline personality disorder from what I remember) and that caused her to cling onto Alex in a really obsessive way. She trauma-bonded with him, didn’t want him to leave her, so she pretended like she was pregnant in order to prevent that. She didn’t know what she was doing, she was having a psychotic episode. I don’t understand why people talk so much shit and hate on her so much when what she did wasn’t even her own fault

I’m in my first watch, just started episode 2 of season 16. I just do not believe in their relationshi and I felt the same way about George and Callie. It just seemed so forced, just like Meredith and DeLuca. And up to this point, this show seems to be very woke now 😂

FIRST TIME WATCHER surgeons in the ER

16 Upvotes

I'm confused about why they have surgical interns, residents, and attendings working in the ER doing random stuff. I watched all of ER all the way through several times and I got the impressions that surgeons are only brought in to evaluate surgical candidates as needed, that they are too specialized and valuable to deal with ordinary ER stuff. I see them doing tasks that I'd expect the nurses to do. Do I just not understand how hospitals work? Also do they not do rotations with interns at Seattle Grace? (I realize ER is very very old.)

DISCUSSION Why the beach? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

I don’t know if this has been discussed before, I know it’s old news, but it was what officially turned me off greys.

Why on earth, when Meredith was critically ill with covid in S17, did she see Derek and George…on a beach?

This absolutely drives me crazy.

Firstly, the beach was never a particularly important place to any of them. I would have forgiven the show, for instance, if they were on a ferry boat. Some place that held meaning to the characters and symbolism for a liminal space between life and death. But… a beach?

Secondly, we have precedent in S3.17 in Some Kind of Miracle that the afterlife limbo is depicted as the hospital/OR.

Likewise, when Izzie has her near death experience, she sees George in the elevator of the hospital.

These near death visions always centre on the hospital as that liminal space.

And would it not have been more impactful for covid infected Meredith to “wake up” feeling well in an empty hospital, wander the halls to the OR gallery and see… Derek operating on someone? Saying “it’s a beautiful day to save lives?”

Idk it just feels like such a missed opportunity and extremely lazy to set these massive episodes where both Derek and George featured after years of being off the show on a beach.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

Just started watching the show.
I know Addison cheated on Derek but Addison is such a likeable person not to mention gorgeous especially with that red hair. I want to love Meredith but it’s just so hard.
I still can’t believe she’s the main character of the show. I’d choose O’ Malley or Izzie or even Yang over Meredith.

DISCUSSION Bailey Tucker Marriage Dynamic Spoiler

1 Upvotes

Halfway through season 4 and one of the storylines is about Bailey and Tuckers marital issues.

A lot of unhappiness from Tucker about Baileys working hours. And then other resentment seems to have built so they blame each other for things.

It’s sort of a role reversal in a traditional relationship where the husband works a lot and the wife has to pick up a lot of the slack. He has quit his job to care for their child and take care of the home while Bailey becomes a doctor. And he is unhappy with their roles and the lack of presence and involvement at home.

But I am curious about what everyone thinks about their issues and the situation?

Hot take: Cristina is awful to Burke

16 Upvotes

I’m going to get downvoted to hell, but man I’m rewatching greys after many years. I’m appalled at how awful Cristina is to Burke. She is completely uninterested in him as a person, she just loves that he’s a great surgeon. He tries to get to know her, to be close with her friends, to cook for her - and she is weirded out by anything kind he does and actively is mean to him. I don’t think Burke is perfect at all, but he deserves better than this. She can’t even be by his side when he gets shot!!!!!

I know this is probably a very unpopular opinion. I can’t help it!

SPOILERS Watching Karev get arrested makes me teer up every time Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Watching the sequence of events that led to Alex Karev assaulting Andrew DeLuca was incredibly frustrating. While Alex's violent reaction wasn't justified, it is easy to see how anyone walking into that room without context would have completely misread the situation.

This entire disaster could have been prevented if Jo hadn’t kept such a massive secret from the man who wanted to marry her. Alex had already survived a brutal upbringing—enduring an abusive father, a psychotic mother, bouncing through foster homes, and stealing food just to survive. Despite everything stacked against him, he fought his way through high school, medical school, residency, and a fellowship to become a brilliant specialist surgeon.

I feel like a lot of people don't realize how traumatic it is to be put in handcuffs, and be on the way to live in a cage. Experiencing incarceration and the trauma of jail is life-altering, and it's tragic that he put his entire hard-earned career on the line over this avoidable mess. Seeing him do the perp walk through the hospital is absolutely heartbreaking.

While Jo’s past with an abusive husband she was too terrified to divorce is genuinely horrific, the way she managed the truth felt immature—almost like hiding a secret from a high school crush. A truth that heavy is not something you keep from the person you live with, own property with, and plan to spend the rest of your life with.

Rewatching for like the 5th time right now and currently on S6.

I can’t for the life of me understand why they didn’t do more with Christina and Avery. He was flirting with her all throughout season 6 while Owen was treating her like shit. I would’ve LOVED to see them together. I feel like Jackson would’ve been the first guy of hers on the show to actually treat her well and how she deserved to be treated. It annoys me every time. I hate Owen

0 Upvotes

She's certainly good but in these last few seasons she's been more researcher than surgeon. Derek and Christina are great surgeons because they spent a lot of time in the OR being the best. I really hope the writers get the main character in this surgery show to do more surgeries.
