Last night Grey's Anatomy was so annoying and stupid and such a waste of time! We all knew the liklihood of Meredith dying was slim to none and I found the whole "heaven" scenes so unbelievable and cliche. Plus all the Meredith "crying" - aka crazy sucking-in-air noises - was irritating. I'm very disappointed in the show right now.
Here's what the co-writer of the show, Marti Noxon, blogged about this episode:
It was a challenge to write and shoot for so many reasons. Not in a digital-ferry-crashing-into-a-digital-dock way, but still… This, again, wasn’t a typical Grey’s. Half of it takes place… where? In Meredith’s head? In Heaven? We decided, for obvious reasons, not to get too specific. And we knew Meredith had to go on a journey. But, get it wrong and it’s “Touched by an Icy Blue Surgeon.” And Denny and Dylan? I’m supposed to touch the sacredness of Denny and Dylan? I think not. All will agree that I basically punted that stuff.Yeah, well, Marti - you got it wrong. Very wrong. It WAS "Touched by an Icy Blue Surgeon" and it sucked butt. You should never be allowed to write for Grey's again. Apparently the head writer/creator Shonda was too sick (something about being anemic) to finish the third part. It WAS her idea to do all the dead/heaven stuff, but maybe if she could have finished writing, it would have been better. We'll never know and now this stupid, trite episode is cemented into Grey's history forever.
The only bright spot was Sandra Oh's performance. Cristina was the only believable, true character in the show last night. McDreamy was okay too, but his reaction to her waking up was a little bit of a letdown considering how concerned and anxious he had been. They just have that stupid your-mother-is-dead conversation. AND can I just say that the Ellis-Meredith goodbye scene was sooooooo lame. It was so predictable and cheesy. Ugh, I really hated this episode!
I did love the Denny-Izzie moment at the end, but Izzie is just pushing her luck with George. What does she want him to do? I'm all for being honest with your friends, but her "I believe" speech was a little too much at the most inappropriate time. And now that she's told him how she feels she needs to let it go and be nice and happy for George and Callie.
Shonda and team better make this right. And never do the death-in-your-head thing again. Ever.

I absolutely hated this episode. That third installment in the 3-part series was completely unnecessary and in my mind it didn't need to be aired. What a waste of time. How was I supposed to suspend my disbelief when one character kept bleeding through her stomach every 5 minutes? Dumb. And by the way, when Meredith's mom told her to "run" - it completely threw me off because it was akin to the whole "just walk to the light" theory and when one does that, doesn't it ususally mean one is accepting death, not coming back to life. I don't know. I'm so annoyed. The only part I enoyed was when the dog materialized out of thin air. And yeah, Sandra Oh was good. But otherwise, ugh. Gag me with a spoon.
I'd like an FYI sent to me. Thanks.
