Grey's Anatomy 2008

I love that Marilyn Gray and Dr. McStreamey

 

So Patrick Dempsey has bladder-control issues?

 

That's why he can't buy himself love.

 

I don't think Christina is going to sleep with Hahn or Callie, but I do think the writers are trying to hint that Callie and Hahn might have something going on. It is, of course, ridiculous to think that Callie would just all the sudden decide she's a temporary lesbian, but that's how it works on TV sometimes.

Might I suggest for all of you who either like or cannot stand Grey's but thought it was good once: Brothers and Sisters. Sunday nights on ABC.

It's a much better show, with much better characters, and while it is soapy and a little over-the-top, the characters, while somewhat self-absorbed, are not narssistic and intolerable. The the come-to-Jesus monologues the characters deliver are not filled with idiotic, thump-you-over-the-head metaphors about zoo life, and you actually care about their fates.

 

Happens all the time, DD. See also "the college lives of 90 percent of girls."

 

It's nice to see that you can make a more thoughtful post when you put your mind to it, although your argument ultimately comes down to "it's stupid because I say it's stupid." There's nothing inherently stupid about women sleeping with each other, even if they haven't had a relationship with women before. It happens on TV all the time.

It's great that you enjoy the show, but you need to take a chill pill and treat others on here with respect. Acting like an asshole isn't cool, even if you're fired up about a TV show.

As a side note, if you are going to stop watching a show that you seem to care a lot about just because two women on the show sleep together, you probably are homophobic. It would explain the irrational outburst too. Remember, it's just a TV show. God will not smite you or the actors for fake TV sex.

 

It's called reading comprehension. I said I wasn't going to watch the show if it happened because it would have jumped the shark. I have no problem with people of the same sex dating each other or even sleeping together. Someone who wants to throw out the word homophobe in an argument like that when I stated the reason I wouldn't watch the show anymore is the true asshole in the conversation. Have a pleasant day.

 

See, this is why I wish I was younger. That only happened in porn (and among members of the volleyball team) back when I was in college in the 80s.

 

Never happened at my school either, and I was only there 3 years ago.

Edit: To clarify, I didn't know anyone who was a recreational lesbian. The lesbians I know were lesbians long before they got to college and are still lesbians today. Same with the gay guys I know. They were gay in high school (though some didn't come out until college, when they did, admitted they had been in high school, too) and they're still gay now.

 

As long as we're talking about entertaining new shows:

Eli Stone is really entertaining, with a lot of originality. Dude has a brain something or other, and sees musical visions. Jack Bristow has a job again, and that's good enough for me. Throw in George Michael, some nice musical numbers, Natasha Henstridge and the incredibly fetching Julie Gonzalo, and that's a show that I hope comes back for fall.

And spup: the shark tank was in the rearview mirror the moment Meredith fell from the dock last season. Near-death bullcrap trumps the "Lesbians!" card every time.

 

I agree, and I was damn-near ready to give up on the show, but when it came back this year, I think it came back stronger than last season. And I know I'm not the only one on this board who wants to forget season three existed and agrees season 4 is much stronger. Before the strike, several people felt that way.

 

It has been better. There's was little chance it wouldn't be.

The return episode last week, though . . . eh. Formulaic. Maybe they'll be smart and really pursue things like the new McSteamy romance, but we'll see.

I will say that, along the lines of Philosopher's point: the way the writers have been, the easy cliche would be to have Callie and hahn be in a lesbian relationship. The harder sell would be Yang thinking they are in such a relationship, and throwing herself at hahn, thus humiliating and disgracing herself as someone willing to do anyone and anything to get ahead.

It would be cheesy, but at least it would be outside the box thinking to go to plots about people unhappy about things other than who they're sleeping with that week.
