BEST. CONTEST. EVER.
AAAAANNNND.....We're back!
Well its about damn time. I am officially maxed out on Rock of Love 2 (and the season's over) and I need some serious new epsiodes in my life. Thank God for the end of the writers strike!
So I'll start from the end and work backward...
I didn't realize how much I adored Meredith and Derek until the end of tonight's episode. Seeing McDreamy exit the notorious elevator with Rose every morning and pecking her on the lips, made me wish for the days of awkward elevator rides with MG and DS. They belong together. Seeing Meredith try to develop a strictly professional relationship with Derek while Rose stares hopelessly in the backround, you have to know they are meant to be. They are Zach and Kelly, they are Pacey and Joey, they are a couple that will always be meant for each other.
Now on to the contest...
Do we really need the bloody, scalp peeling, intestine dropping gore scenes? I mean, I know its a show set in a hospital...but can't Grey's be the first show to nix all the medical drama? Can't Grey's just be about a bunch of people who wear scrubs, report to a hospital each day and deal with the intensity of dating another person who wears scrubs?
Also, although the contest was really entertaining...did the prize have to be Hannah Montana's pager? That thing had more sparkles than a 4th grader's tap dance costume.
George and Lexi in the Crapartment: I was reluctant for this friendship to transpire, thinking it was just another way for George to have an unrealistic sexual relationship with an attractive intern. However, Lexi is growing on me and her need to steal urine recepticles and turn them into spagetti holders is extremely amusing. If they can remain friends, and not travel down the dark path of a Meredith and George disgustingly awkward hookup...I'm on board with the Crapartment.
Overall, it wasnt an eventful episode but I enjoyed it.
Here are a few more observations:
Who's Who?
I know there are probably only 3 people on the planet who recognized this (my future sister in law included)....BUT the girl who lost a piece of her head...was the rich girl in She's All That who had her face painted like a clown. I know, I really need a life.
Alex: I think he's channeling a Jack Shepherd (Matthew Fox) look. Scruffy, shaved head...and I love it! The ladies will be swooning before we know it.
Patrick Dempsey: For a man of his attractiveness level, he surely spends a lot of time chasing women. In every movie, in every show, he is one step behind the woman he wants to be with...except Rose. She's a weepy lost cause who will get her heart broken.
After 3 years of watching this show, think I have the lineup figured out. 8-815: friendly banter, clever snappy one liners and all around smiles. 815-830: development of new problems, introduction of drama. 830-845: serious drama, serious tear jerkers, make you want to lay in your bed and cry all day outcomes. 845-9: some resolutions, few more one liners and a hope for next week's new episode.
Thursdays are back baby!
