Viewers think they have the power to change the way a show is written - please God I hope not. How about some faith in the writers and where they are taking the characters? Characters need to grow and change and be human. If all the characters stayed the same there would be no reason to watch as it would be the same every week.

Oh yeah, it sounds like there is a chance the writers may be meeting next week since the directors came to a deal this week. That certainly sounds encouraging! Even Patrick mentioned when asked about the writers stike ( at the Car Auction today) that he heard they may be meeting next week! Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope its resolved asap! Lets also hope there is still time for a few more episodes for this season!

I just saw Patrick on the Speed Channel. Gosh, he looked great! He was at a Car Auction in Arizona and he auctioned off one of the cars he raced in last season. Included was one of his racing suits, a signed helmet, 3rd dvd set of GA and racing lessons from him. Wouldn't I have loved to have been the winner of that package. I think it sold for $200,000.00. His hair looked alittle longer than I had seen lately from pics around LA. In other words he was looking HOT! Naturally looking stylish with a grey sweater and scarf tied around his neck. He drove the car on stage and then came to the podium and greeted the crowd with his beautiful smile and told the crowd what was included with the car. After the winning bid he left the stage to shake hands and sign autographs. What a guy!

oliau- I don't think Mark and MER really have to go out on a date. (she really shouldn't lower herself to that and that is something that DER would not be able to forgive her for) I just think that they need to hook up so she can vent to him about DER. He isn't aware that they have ended AGAIN!
Then DER just needs to see her with him and MER just needs him on his date with Rose right after they end it. Won't there be some FIREWORKS!!!!
Once DER and MER strom off or kill each other.
That would leave Mark and Rose together to hook up!
Still think that DER needs to realize he will only be happy with MER and it is probably his turn to land in the hospital so that MER realizes life is short since she seems to not have learned that lesson herself from almost dying!
Maybe if DER almost dies that might be her wake-up call!

i agree! also i'd like to say that speaking our mind (but not demanding spesific storylines) about grey's shouldn't be offensive to shonda, like we're telling her how to raise her baby like s/o suggested, 'cause raising a baby is a private matter but a tv series is being put out there to be judged, and it's left up to us to decide to watch it, make it succesfull, even keeping it from being cancelled!
hell, even the money, 4 which they strike, is made by our passion 4 the show, so i think we have a right to speak our mind

i'm so pissed at derek right now that seeing mer with mark sounds to me like a good idea.
anyway, 4 those who keep saying that merder fans who signed the petition live in a fantasy world, and deny to be realistic and admit couples do break up and so on, i'd like to point out that merder where together and broke up (due to addison) then got back together and broke up again (at ep1.s4) then kind of together and broke up again in the last episode!
that's 3 times!!!
what is less realistic, a couple fighting but coping or a couple portrayed as soul mates but can't stay together more than a couple of months?

I think the story lines are all starting to just be repeats. I really like this show, but I think it needs some new stuff. Not just the same couples and same medical disasters over and over again. I for one am happy that mer and der are not gonna be together for a while. That way when they finally do wind up together, it'll be something happy and not depressing.
i can't breath with you looking at me so just stop!
January 19th, 2008 12:17 AM
ok seriously meredith and derek HAVE to get over this and finally be bright and shiny!!! i'd really like to see them happy together (and by that i mean not Mer happy, but not Der happy, or Der happy and not Mer happy). it's gone a little too far, i mean i know that the writers have to keep the show interesting and not simply make them a perfect couple, but i'm not asking for perfection, just MerDer together for real! i think that out of these four seasons the happiest they have been (continually) was in season one, before she knew about Addison. now addison is gone, and they have no reason to be broken-up!!! so this whole rose thing better be just the thing to kick Meredith in the butt and make her realize that Derek is HERS and no one else's! i'm really really anxious for this to come through so Meredith and Derek can be a real couple with real dates, real talks, real sleep-overs, and better yet a real home!!!!!

While I'll admit I am very sad that Rose could possibly more than just a few dreamy glances and a kiss for Derek, I think it's something he needs to do, and that Meredith needs to experience so that they can see how much they truly mean to each other. Also, in the petition, the writers said something about Meredith was a character that everyone hated and no one could relate to, but I have to disagree. I love Meredith's character the way she is now as much as I loved her character in the very first episode. She is flawed and an emotional wreck, but she is still human. I don't know what the lives of those who wrote the petition are like, but apparently they're pretty good if they can't relate to her emotionally. I have always been able to relate to Meredith's character, and still even in this very dark time for her, I'm sure I am not alone in saying I have felt that way. I'm not trying to stir up things, because the petition makes some very good points, but I feel like when the show fin

you know what the real problem with grey's anatomy this season is, in my opinion, there is no preston burke a.k.a issiah washington. that was the BIGGEST MISTAKE! firing him. the show had a dynamic flow with ALL its principle characters, and once he left the show was never the same. i read an article with patrick dempsey in a magazine and he said it best. the whole situation is sad because preston burke was a beautiful character that didn't get a chance to be explored fully, and the fans lost out. i really believe that to be true. the office politics should have been dealt with and everyone should have moved on, out of respect for the loyal fans and for the integrity of what grey's anatomy was.

I agree with the one person that said that Season 2 was the best. Season 3 was decent and 4 is just seems to have gotten a bit twisted and diluted when it comes to where the storylines are going. In Season 2, it seemed that there was always an interesting twist and turn- Mer and the bomb, Denny and Izzy. Now it just seems that whoever is writing for the show is more interested in keeping the storylines within the charactors. I don't think there has been a really memorable "temp" charactor like (and honestly I'm having the biggest brain fart here, LOL) bomb guy and Denny. Now it's Izzie and George, how confused Christina is after Burke and with the addition of Hahn, and all this convoluted mess with Mer and Der. Like come on, get back to what drew everyone to continue watching the show in the first place. Get back to the EXCITING grey's and not this weepy, depressing version that we have been fed lately. Don't get me wrong, I love this show- it is the only show that I consistent
I finally get it!
January 18th, 2008 7:38 AM
I think I finally figured it out!
I went to the ABC website to see which rerun was going to be on tonight and happened to see the break-up scene between the two of them again. I had a totally different take about it tonight than I did the night I watched it. The first time I watched it I was mad- Here we go again. Same old/ same old- been there done that so stop already. They are NEVER going to get together! I didn't really hear them.
This time I thought- I agree with what MER is saying to DER and I think she nailed it right on the head. DER on the other hand basically admits that the plans were a test and that he KNEW she would fail because she is not ready. SO MER'S conclusion that he just wants to be married to someone is dead on and since she is not ready he is going to find someone that is because DER has not really realized yet that MER is the ONLY one for him. He's sad and pitiful looking because it is painful breaking-up with her but he THINKS that the house, wife,
