"Grey's Anatomy": A toxic case of self-importance

Total Recommendations (0)

"Grey's" returned last night for, apparently, one new episode to help launch ABC's newest, sure-to-fail drama, "October Road." (I'd like it to succeed just because it has Donna from "That 70s Show," but I don't care enough to actually watch it.) It's been a couple weeks since we last checked in with Seattle Grace's interns, but not much has changed. They're all still talking about me me me me me me me.

Seriously. Last night's episode made me realize that at this point I don't really like any of these characters. Izzie continues to be a horrible bitch to George about the Callie marriage and thinks that Alex just HAS to be into her because she's, you know, Izzie. (Alex has apparently taken over George's room in Meredith's house.) Christina's ex-professor/ex-flame comes to the hospital, which sets of Burke's jerk meter and he basically pouts and sulks because he's not the first authority figure she's slept with. It's more complicated than that, yes, but essentially he's being a whiny bitch. Christina tries to comfort him in the lamest way possible and just pisses him off more, and I am really, totally done with this couple. They are incompatible. Just give it up, already. Meanwhile, George finds out that Callie is actually rich, and this sparks a huge fight between the two of them in which Callie tells George that the reason Izzie hates her is because Izzie wants George herself, and then George basically dismisses this because Izzie is pretty, which in turn suggests that Callie is not. And ouch, you idiot. Callie throws him out, he goes to Meredith's, and he and Izzie get drunk and wake up in bed naked together. Sigh. Meanwhile, Meredith seems to be totally fine after being literally, clinically dead for several hours and goes back to work and it's never mentioned (despite the fact that everyone talks about her mom's death, so the Meredith Is Dead episodes couldn't have been that long ago --- days at most). Derek works on some boring patients and fights with Addy and McSteamy and is boring some more. Meredith is forced into dinner with her dad and stepmom and ultimately enjoys herself despite her dad's stupidity. And Alex continues spending more time with the pregnant lady he saved from the ferry accident, and man, this is a boring storyline.

So to sum up:

-Meredith is fine after being dead. No ill effects whatsoever. Back to work already! Nobody even mentions it. Whatever, show.

-Derek continues to be boring.

-Addison got like five lines. Bring on that spinoff.

-Alex continues to make googly eyes at the badly deformed, pregnant amnesiac instead of Addison. Again, whatever, show.

-George somehow ends up banging Izzie, which makes three hot women he's slept with besides being a total dork (and I love dorks). A third whatever, show.

-Callie's insecurities are ruining her marriage, and only in television would someone discovering that their partner is rich become a problem. A fourth whatever, show.

-Izzie hisses at Callie for being rich (...yeah, I don't know) when literally five episodes ago she found out Magical Heart Patient Denny was a millionaire, and she herself was worth $8 million until she donated it to the hospital. A fifth whatever, show. (Also, is ANYONE on this show not outrageously wealthy?)

-Christina and Burke continue their death march to the aisle. Give it up. Please. I already hate McChokey, do not make me hate Christina.
