I know what you mean. McDreamy has kind of been an asshole lately. Come to think of it, he always has been. What was up with choosing Addison the first time round? I think I just love him so much because he is soooo beautiful. Nobody should be allowed to be that good looking.

The more I think about it, the more I think Mer's holding up remarkably well given whats happened to her and Der's being an asshole.

But see, that's the thing - she was coming out of that, after she nearly died and her mother did die. She was being perky, and learning to be functional, and being attentive to Derek, and starting a relationship with her stepmother. And he was the one being a dour jerkface because the Chief told him he wouldn't be promoted because of his relationship with Meredith. But instead of talking to her, he shut her out and treated her like crap and made her unsure of herself, and then her new mom died, and her father turned on her. I'm totally on Mere's side on this, but maybe that's because I'm a little dark and twisty myself, but as dreamy as Dempsey is, McDreamy himself has been a total self-centred ass - more than Meredith has, and with less justification. In my humble opinion, that is.

Rach: Im sooo sick of Mer and her bleak outlook on life. Granted, things have sucked a lot, but she has Derek! He's kind of being a dick as well, I guess because he's feeling a little ignored. I dont know. My outlook is that you can only take refuge in the "I was raised by wolves and have had a crappy childhood hence my inability to love" argument for so long. Sometimes, you just have to stop making excuses and get on with your life and overcome your inability to love.

Maybe its harsh. I dont know.

Isaiah is taking meetings, i.e. probably will not be coming back next year. (Phew.)

I'm giving the show, like, 4 eps to dig itself out of its current hole next season, and then I'mma gonna bail.

I actually stopped watching Grey’s. I really like all the actors on it still (except Isaiah Washington, who I can’t separate from all his offscreen drama, which is also why I don’t like Jordin Sparks but that’s beside the point), but I think it was on at the same time as something I liked and Alex was more interested in watching (30 Rock I guess?), and I figured I’d catch up on downloads, but then I didn’t really miss it. (I’ve always hated McDreamy though.)

Jaya - see I totally understood what was going on there. Earlier in the episode, she told Cristina that she had to get married, because that would prove to Mere that dark&twisty people like her could find happy endings. Mere's been getting better, but she still has issues, mostly in that somehow she is undeserving of or unable to have a happy functioning relationship, because she was raised by wolves.

So when Derek asked her that - 8 hours after he rubbed his little flirtation in her face, which didn't do anything to make their relationship seem particularly healthy or stable - she couldn't answer right then. Because (irrational or not) she needed Cristina to get married. To prove that it was possible for people like her to have the happy ending.

Rach: What does it mean to ship a couple?

I sort of see your point about how McDreamy is being a little self-absorbed. But, having said that, so is Meredith. I totally understand her for wanting to go drinking with her friends instead of talking about her feelings with McDreamy. What I cannot forgive is when he asks her, point blank, whether or not she sees a future for them she chooses not to respond. What the hell is that? Here he is, saying that he loves her and wont give up on them and all that other good stuff, and there she is, appearing not to care? I understand she's been through a lot and her life has been a world of suck lately, so why is she pushing Derek away? Is she supposed to be one of those people who sabotage their lives bcuz thats just who they are?

I hate Christina. She annoys me. Everything about her seems so fake to me, especially her rare moments of allowing herself to feel human.

Im going to pass on Heroes. Just bcuz I know I'll get sucked in and that will be another weeknight gone.

Bren - you're a star. ;)

JVR - I gots Heroes on homemade DVDs, if you want to borrow'em and save yourself the download. :)

Grey's finale bit the big one. And I'm sorry, my McDreamy love is severely suffering, what with his intense fuckwittery. "You should be afraid that I met a woman, and flirted with her, and that was the highlight of my week. Never mind that fact that in the last month, you nearly died, your evil mother died, and right as you were on your way to non-scary functionality your lovely newly-found stepmother died, and your estranged father blamed your for it and smacked you across the face! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEE AND HOW YOU'RE NOT HAPPY ENOUGH FOR ME!" Like, seriously. The couple I'm 'shipping right now, more than anyone, is Mere/Christina.

I am really going to have to watch Heroes...Im hearing too many good things about it not to! And besides Lost is on hiatus now anyway (bastards). How many seasons do you think Heroes is going to be around for? Maybe I will wait it out since Im pretty sure I'll be watching Private Practice.

What are your thoughts on Grey's? I really want you to make a post on that. I cant believe the stunt theyre pulling, having Lexie Grey on the show. I am waaaay too emotionally invested in that show, especially McDreamy and his dramas. I love him.

Rach: I put it behind a "more inside," which I probably should have done in the first place.

Jaya: Yeah, more evidence that I am a huge nerd. Daddy issues are like the oldest issues EVER.
