Thank you @lara, that was the point I was trying to make, and you were a lot more succinct than I managed to be.

i KNEW people were going to get all 'i hate alex coz he doesn't like george'. yes, george is dead, yes it is terrible how he died. but alex didn't like him. i hate when someone dies and suddenly everyone makes them into a saint. alex is not required to like him just because he passed away. alex is honest- he was not friends with george, and found him annoying. i also found him annoying, self-righteous and kind of pathetic at times. of course i was sad when he died- if you remember alex was sad too, but it doesn't mean he has to pretend to like him
George was not a saint. He cheated on Callie (and please don't give me the whole "he and Izzie loved each other" line, it's still wrong). He continued to hold out hope for Meredith despite knowing she was in love with someone else and then slept with her knowing how emotionally fragile she was (not that she doesn't bear some blame in that). When he failed his intern year, he stopped hanging around with the core group and started hanging around with other interns, then when he passed, he dumped the other interns as friends and went back to the core group.
Overall I really liked George. He was a good character and he was a great counter-balance for Alex. However I think it's unfair to both of them to pit them against each other. So Alex doesn't remember George as fondly as Meredith and Cristina do. I bet Derek doesn't remember Addison as fondly as Mark does. This idea that because Alex is willing to admit that he wasn't George's biggest fan that he's a total ass has been prove

See that is why I HATE alex... that piece of shit is a 2nd rate surgeon at best. I think that he was jealous of george because he is half the man that george was. he was closer to izzy, mer and christina, well loved by mcdreamy, burke, bailey, owen, richard and even cold hearted erica hahn. I really hope that Alex doesn't get the paeds fellowship! I am going to be tweeting to shonda everyday until the finale!
