@DG are we going in for a time jump? I don't get the time line with this show at all in Disarm it was already six months to the shooting indecent and then in last epi Bailley said its just been an year of her being an Attending. Wasn't she an Attending way bck in s six premier? And lexie said in epi 14 she is 27 and in s5 in the epi where Derek's mom came in Lexie had told Mark she was 24 and i figured MD got married some weeks or months later in s5 finale so that made at least three years to their marriage by now since lex turned 27 now and she was 24 back then u know? So I just don't get whats up with the time line in this show
And ikr? I ld puke if Cristina changes her mind. its OKAY to not want babies you know and Owen can't throw this at her now. anyone who claims to even remotely KNOW Cristina Yang would know she doesn't wants kids, Owen claimed to love her so he definitely aught to have known that, if he didn't then maybe he was loving a painted picture

As long as they are on the show I'll give it my time & my attention...Seems like there aren't many fans of these two left, well I am one of them & I'm not going anywhere!
Same thing can happen to MerDer too you know, Callie & Az had a long, stable & loving relationship 'till the writers ruined it...
I mean really what is it with American TV & gay/lesbian characters?..here in Europe we aren't scared to portray gay people as actually normal & adequate, why is it so hard to do it in the States?
I'd recommend to all the Calzona fans & Shonda too to find the show called Bad Girls (English version, not any other!) & watch first 3 seasons of it & then tell me if we aren't more understanding & respectful & accepting of gay people over here in Europe...

No disrespect taken at all. I don't agree with the acting but I do agree with everything else. The CAM sl feels incredibly forced. I too, am sick of it as it has ruined Calzona forever by permanently attaching Mark to our ass. Thank god for the time jump that way we can over this ridiculous sl.
Regarding other sls, Shonda just needs some continuation. Bailey's sl just pops up every now and again and I think she's run out of things for Alex to do. And as for Cristina, Crowen now has baby fever? Really the only couple on baby mode should be MerDer. That's where that sl makes sense.

@smitri.
i was portraying my assumption of how the writers (mainly Shonda Rhimes) perceive the storytelling process they contribute heavily to. I did not mention my opinion on the relationship potential myself. My opinion on their relationship and them as a storytelling device is that Derek and Meredith's real relationship (real in the sense that they are committed and honest and stable and not cheating on one another) is a wonderfully refreshing portrayal of how relationships can be, as opposed to constant infidelity and dishonesty in many of the relationships portrayed. It actually surprises me that the writers have kept them stable for so long now.
In many ways, I agree with you, Derek and Meredith have lots of potential, but is this only because we have esperiences the journey they went on to get to where they are now with them? Do you think that if a married heterosexual white couple in their mid-30s turned up as two new character, we would be as interested in them as we are

Very interesting analysis of the dynamics between a show and its audience. I found also your point of view as a Christian very refreshing, until I read your conclusion
"We love to ignore the true relationships of our real lives, whether these relationships be spiritual or romantic, and be fixated not on these relationships, but on the characters and storylines that Greys Anatomy so artistically portray. May this observation be a warning to us all."
Do you really think that Grey's characters are for "us" more important than "our" true relationships in "our" real life?! I don't know about you, but that doesn't certainly apply to me!!!
So, I would suggest a small alteration to your conclusion, if I may:
"I love to ignore the true relationships of my real life, whether these relationships be spiritual or romantic, and be fixated not on these relationships, but on the characters and storylines that Greys Anatomy so artistically portray."

So ya while I did want more MD even then but I was kind of happy,because at least the story was relevant and written decently and the actors did a great job telling the story
But with this CAM crap okie don't get me wrong I know you are a CA lover and I am not trying to disrespect your feelings here. but I don't know I seriously am unable to gulp that story line in and I really feel Sara and Eric both are delivering their worst acting ever jcAP still delivers well but Sara and Eric are just, I don;t know its like not only is the story crap the writing shity but the actors too are doing it all

Shonda and the writers are slowly ruining this show. I completely agree with you regarding MerDer. They have been ignored and sls glazed over the entire season. There is so much great potential drama from them yet Shonda insists on selling the audience this CAM garbage of a modern family sl.
I am a fan of both MerDer and Calzona and it pains me to see MerDer's sls not respected (the way the miscarriage was deal with was absolute crap) and addressed correctly. While CAM is given most of the screen time but are written straight into the ground. The characters have been twisted and bent to suit a ridiculous plot. Shonda has lost it in my book.

Strangely enough I liked this episode, not all of it but enough bits & pieces for me to like it.
I loved Mer in this episode, she was absolutely adorable & so very funny whether with Alex or Cristina or Lexie...& I loved Lexie too, I always liked her & I'll never gonna stop liking her,.. however writers do make a bit of a loose girl out of her, she does like to sleep around a lot, but than again she's young so she should enjoy herself while it lasts,.. not with Avery though I can't stand him, everything about him gives me so much more creeps than even Dr. Stark does.
April was hilarious in this episode I enjoyed watching her a lot, Dr.Stark is a bit old for her & let's face it quite creepy too.I mean my husband is 21 years older than me & we have a very good relationship, my grandad was 29 years older than my grandma & they were ok too, however I can't see this Stark-April thing going anywhere at all.
Mark was an ass throughout the whole episode ag

They're stretching to give people storylines. I think April and Stark is just strange and offputting. Teddy once again had to take a backseat role because of the absence of Henry in this one. Two examples of characters not having anything written for them to further their development. Jackson and Lexie was predictable and I can't say that I'm for or against the pairing. I like their friendship. They always seemed to have had a bond so I thought it was interesting and no telling where this is going. I have a feeling it'll lead to a heartbroken Avery.Instead of focusing on giving him a temporary bed partner I hoped they would give him a story revolving around his unaddressed PTSD or something along those lines. I love the Meredith and Alex friendship in this episode. Owen and Yang were due for some sort of something but I don't know if the baby thing should have been it.

Okay seriously? If you're not a fan of the way the show is this season, why bother to go online to rant about it? Just don't watch it if you don't care for the characters anymore! Or just calm down because it's just a show (my favorite show ever, but still, just a show!)
I agree that there are quite a few characters and story lines, but I think it makes the show more interesting.
I like that there are the dramatic story lines, like the fight between Owen and Cristina, and Mer's eyesight and frustration over not being able to have a baby, but also funny and refreshing touches like Stark asking out April, which was completely unexpected and hilarious, and Bailey fooling around with the hot young nurse.
Am I the only one who wants Jackson and April to get together? The way he is so protective of her is sweet, and Lexie and Mark belong together anyways.

Decreasing quality, simple as that. It's still a good show, but it's got nowhere near the quality of writing that it had back in the first three seasons. It's simply a good show instead of a great one, and the ratings have started to reflect that. Not to mention that ratings are dropping for most shows as people turn to watching things online and on demand.

February 26th, 2011 6:13 AM
someone explain why the ratings have gone down from 25 million viewers in season 3 to only 9 million viewers this episode. might be due to the fact that season 3 focused on meredith and the interns/residents and their lives. nowadays there are so many characters i don't give a rats ass about some of them (i.e. teddy, april, arizona).

I agree that there are quite a few characters and story lines, but I think it makes the show more interesting.
I like that there are the dramatic story lines, like the fight between Owen and Cristina, and Mer's eyesight and frustration over not being able to have a baby, but also funny and refreshing touches like Stark asking out April, which was completely unexpected and hilarious, and Bailey fooling around with the hot young nurse.
Am I the only one who wants Jackson and April to get together? The way he is so protective of her is sweet, and Lexie and Mark belong together anyways.

Wow. You all need to calm down. It's fiction.

Decreasing quality, simple as that. It's still a good show, but it's got nowhere near the quality of writing that it had back in the first three seasons. It's simply a good show instead of a great one, and the ratings have started to reflect that. Not to mention that ratings are dropping for most shows as people turn to watching things online and on demand.

someone explain why the ratings have gone down from 25 million viewers in season 3 to only 9 million viewers this episode. might be due to the fact that season 3 focused on meredith and the interns/residents and their lives. nowadays there are so many characters i don't give a rats ass about some of them (i.e. teddy, april, arizona).
