Can someone *please *tell me why I’m still watching this?
Or am I really just a masochist?
No one? Okay, I’ll start.
I was so mad that they killed off Mark Sloan that I didn’t even cry. And I cried quite a bit for Lexie, even knowing that the actress wanted to leave!
Owen will get on a plane for April but not for Cristina?
I’m kind of conflicted about Alex, but that’s normal. It’s sweet that he cares enough about the kids to want to stay, but he’s also been kind of a horndog.
Not sure I like Avery’s new hair.
I don’t mind that people keep trying to teach Cristina things. I mind that she never, ever considers learning or changing. And I say this as a Cristina fan. It’s kinda unhealthy.
Do not like new Meredith. Too much like her mom. Still codependent with Cristina, but that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who’s been watching since, ever.
Bailey has been so out-of-character for awhile that I really don’t know what to think of her anymore. She’s always been Shonda’s Mary Sue, but it’s getting ridiculous.
I *really *don’t need to see any more angst for Callie and Arizona. Doesn’t anyone remember the car crash? That was hard enough. How much crap does Callie have to go through?
I know bad stuff happens in real life, and art (even TV 
is a reflection of real life, but really. It’s getting silly. How did they get stranded in the woods so long in the first place? How could *nobody *have a phone? ARGH.
I need to stop watching, but my mom watches it, and if I stop watching it’ll be Desperate Housewives all over again. Let me explain: I stopped watching Desperate Housewives with her because life was too damn short. So, she would recap the episodes to me. At length. Sometimes between commercial breaks. Listen, crazy lady, I stopped watching because I didn’t care. What’s so hard to understand?
That said, thank you guys for letting me vent. I appreciate it. 
I really liked Mark and Lexie together, so bah.
I like new surgeon girl, but not so much the rest of the interns. I probably like her because she kind of reminds me of Lexie. Sadly, Lexie was the only female allowed to be a strong female character but not a snarky, rude bitch. You either get Cristina/Meredith/Bailey or…April.
LEAVE, KAREV. JUST LEAVE. No one wants you any more. You take one step forward every season, then two…or five…or ten…steps back.
I say we should bet on how many episodes until Cristina gets tired of nice people and comes back.
I don’t like Avery’s new curly hair either.
Well clearly Shonda Rhimes is a sadist. I was just starting to enjoy Meredith’s escape from the deep dark. This was all very silly. They already had a plot cliffhanger in place with the graduating with which to keep us in suspense about who would stay or go on the show. And there’s was already enough anxiety and character conflict going on. The whole plane crash deathiness was just completely unnecessary and over the top death dark gloominess.
She wanted to leave? Then why was she always talking about how she could be the titular character after Meredith leaves?
I did like the last minute reveal. And I’m glad they are going back to cover the events of the plane crash next week. And I thought for sure Bailey’s nickname was going to be Dr Love.
I was very surprised not to see Addison at 5 o’clock. I wonder if there will be any Private Practice tie in.
Avery looks… thinner. I wonder if he is well. Maybe I’m just put off because I just watched Cabin in the Woods which was filmed years ago.
I rather enjoyed Christina’s riff on this in the finale, which essentially could be paraphrased as “What the fuck? Why does this shit keep happening to us? How the hell can the Worst Thing Ever happen to the same five people EVERY FUCKING YEAR?!?!?!”
I also kinda liked that Christina can’t stand, let alone thrive in, an environment with no competition. And Owen has no problem getting on a plane, and no reason to go see Christina. He went to get April because it’s the one thing he can fix.
Arizona was no surprise, if you’ve ever watched television before.
Apparently Addison will get the news about Mark next week.
Hey TV producers, if you want to trick people into thinking a character is dead until the last 30 seconds, don’t put her actress’s fucking name in the opening credits.
Did they write out Teddy at the end of last season or is she just mysteriously MIA? I can’t recall, though I don’t know why I even care.
Owen fired her so that she’d take the job with CMC.
The Brilliant Surgeon With the Bum Hand is a tired plot line, too.
It’s only been 30 days since the rescue, and I think Arizona is allowed to bitch that long.
I expect Owen to pick up Cristina on his way back to Seattle.
~VOW
She was also in the flashback scene. Or did you mean “as a regular”? Was Mark listed as a guest?
I was angry at myself for watching. I’ve broken up with this show many times, including several right here on the boards.
I couldn’t sleep so I flipped through the On Demand listings. It want it on the record that I did not record it or plan in advance to watch it!
The good news is that there wasn’t one thing in this new episode that I found even a little compelling. It used to be that even in the episodes with weak story the dialog was well written and entertaining. Don’t have to worry about that anymore.
I don’t buy that Arizona, who was so relentlessly perky and optimistic when we met her, would be blaming Callie. Don’t care. Never liked her.
Are all the babies just taking care of themselves? Wouldn’t Callie have brought Sophia to say goodbye to Mark? Did anyone even mention Zola?
I liked Cristina for several years, but haven’t really liked Cristina with Owen. And I loves me some Owen.
