"Grey's" Trauma & Drama

Let’s get one thing straight: If one of my best friends called me a “stupid bitch” —and I don’t care WHAT the circumstances were—then I would make him/her beg (BEG!) on his/her knees for forgiveness. But that’s just me. It’s obviously not how Izzie felt when Alex called her that when she was trying to help a broken-down Rebecca. And I don’t think that the Rebecca character should have been brought back anyway. She did her bit as the amnesiac, ferry-accident victim who was brought to Seattle Grace, successfully put back together, fell for Karev and… You know the rest. That’s why I was glad that Rebecca’s real-life counterpart, Elizabeth Reaser, will star in show coming up this fall. Bye-bye, Becky!
How pathetic and sad was it that the high school girl Lola took so long to visit Andrew, her secret friend who jumped into a block of quick just to show off in front of her? I know the power of peer pressure, but c’mon. In this severe a situation, I would hope that older teens would rise above it.
Looks like Geo will no longer be “the Chief’s bitch,” as someone referred to him, now that Dr. Webber granted him permission to retake the intern test and he’s sure to pass it. It took two hard realizations—that his power as Webber’s personal assistant was really no power at all and that he flunked the intern test by one crummy point (thanks to the prying eyes of the annoying and immature Lexie)—to get him out of the intern bullpen and out on the field with the Izzie, Mer, Cristina and the rest of the gang.
It also seems that next season will hold a stable romance between Mer and Der (Deredith). Sorry, but if I were Der, I would have chosen Nurse Rose over Mer. Rose has her emotional act together and doesn’t whine or lisp. Yes, Derek’s thinking of selling of his gorgeous piece of land was a sign of a solid committment to Mer, but jeez…. He didn’t HAVE to consider getting rid of it just to prove his fidelity. Unspoiled pieces of property that magnificent don’t come up for sale often. Thanks goodness he kept the oasis! Another cheer: that Derek had the sensitivity to talk to Rose about the ending of their relationship, instead of just unceremoniously dumping her.
Also this fall: perhaps a romance between Callie and Erica? Did you see the look in the eyes of Sloan, an allegedly reformed man-whore, as he watched the duo lock lips outside the SGH entrance? Was he grinning because he was happy for them, or was it due to (this is more likely) his fantasizing himself entangled between them in bed?
So ends Season Four of our fave medical show. I can’t say it was the its best year whose lowered quality can’t be blamed on the writers’ strike. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that the 2008-09 season will be a bit less silly (no injured deer being treated in the back of a pick-up truck) and a bit more on track with its previous seasons.
Let me end the 2007-08 season with a piece of trivia many of you probably already know. The show’s title was taken from the illustrated reference book “Anatomy of the Human Body,” by Henry Gray. It was published in 1918 and continues to be a valuable research tool all these years later.
