Grey Fantasy

I must admit that like the majority of TV viewers, I’m a HUGE fan of Grey’s Anatomy. I actually planned this week around last night’s season premier. I grabbed a few drinks after work and headed home to wait for 9 pm. Even Puddy knew he shouldn’t call until after 10 pm.

The drama is a little ridiculous. They’ve got gun shots nearly killing the best surgeon in the world who may never walk again, a torrid love affair where the crazy kids can’t admit their feelings, a heart transplant patient proposing to the pretty doctor before his sudden death. I’m sure the public can relate to all the intense situations. Take my life, for example, working in a boring corporate world where I make it a habit to accomplish as little as possible and not get fired, nights out on weekdays causing dark circles under my eyes the next morning, and the frustration with Acropolis for applying too much cucumber sauce to my gyro. The blister on my heel caused by old shoes I haven’t worn in awhile reminded me of the episode where the RA made the heartbreaking decision to tell a man quarantined due to the plague that his wife just died.

I think I also enjoy watching the show because I like to invent scenarios of how they could kill Meredith. Since she’s the main character, my dream will never happen, but I can’t stand her so I think they should at least consider my ideas.

1. When she ran out of the hospital because it was too difficult to choose between McDreamy and McPlayed-Robin-in-Batman, I pictured a wrecking ball slamming into Meredith as it casually swung by the hospital doors.
2. While lying next to Izzie comforting her about her recent loss, I imagined a piano falling through the house landing directly on Meredith. Izzie would be unharmed or end up with a few splinters in her forearm and end the episode playing the piano.
3. As McDreamy and Meredith consummated their love that has to be real this time because his wife is in the next room, I pictured Addison (wife) opening up the door of the hospital room with enough force to pull Meredith from her husband’s arms and crash her through the glass window.

We know drama.

I’ll continue to watch, hoping and praying (if I prayed) that one episode will satisfy my fantasy.

And speaking of fantasy…Dr. Alex is HOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
