Cristina Burke? Not on “Grey’s Anatomy”

C’mon, it was inevitable. Cristina’s hesitation to step up to the altar with Preston never happened. And what was that nonsense where Mama Burke made her shave off her eyebrows? I don’t even remember her giving an explanation for it. It was too ridiculous to even include in the show, even if it did elicit some amusing reactions from Cristina, who looked a bit like Whoopi Goldberg, who I guess on purpose, really doesn’t have any eyebrows. And what about the end, when she goes back to her and Burke’s apartment and sees that he’s taken all his stuff and split? Was she happy that she was free? Was she sad that she was free? Probably both.
So Rebecca’s hubby, Jeff, finally showed up, in the form of Jason London, twin brother of Jeremy London, also an actor (“Party of Five”). Rebecca actually thought that she and Korev had enough of a relationship that he might want her to stay in Seattle? No way. It wasn’t a “real-life” relationship, since it all took place under unusual conditions and only in a hospital. So let her go back with nice-guy Jeff and find someone who’s more suitable for her. When Korev returned to her room at the end of the show, he was probably half relieved that she was gone, because deep down he knew that he was too much of a man whore to be faithful to her.
With Burke and Yang’s wedding kaput, the only troubled marriage on “Grey’s” will be Callie and George’s, especially now that she got the chief of surgery job. That’s enough to keep us occupied with anguish. But what really bugs me to no end is the whiny Meredith and Derek’s relationship. He really needs to ditch her and find a woman with whom he has a shred of chemistry. He and Addison did, but we all know that’s over now that she’s moving to L.A. for “Private Practice.” Derek, honey, get real and find someone who’s your equal, not some pathetically mixed-up, stick-figure intern 15 years younger than you. “You’re the love of my life,” he told her. Ick!
Thus ends another season of our fave medical show. I’ll be back to “Grey’s” in the fall, check out “Private Practice” and then decide if both of them are just too much in one week.
