apparently meredith and her anatomy can't swim

i have been a true-blue fan of grey's since the beginning, but i have to admit last night was stupid. first off, to get knocked off a dock by a half dead guy is plain idiotic. common sense: stand on the other side of him. secondly, who the hell can't swim!? third, you're in seattle for god's sake! hypothermia!? this isn't the north pole. besides, mcdreamy can swim and get you and he doesn't get hypo? whatever. stupid. like, he has 1% more body fat than grey. and fourth, she was drowned for like 35 minutes of the show and she'll probably get revived next week. whatever. stupid.

the genious of grey's was in its portrayal of reality. its ability to take real life stuggles and pain and paint them in an emotionally compelling way. but lo and behold, they all go the same route. by season 3 you have to get stupid and overly unrealistic. i think the drama has gone too far and i'm gonna stick to the office.

PS why the hell did she wake up dead to that random bomb dude and denny!? stupid.

yeah, i used to really like grey's too. started from the beginning, then this season i gave it up. A lot of shows start strong like that. I even bought the soundtrack. oh well. The office and Scrubs just keep getting better.

reluctantly, i admit i watch the show with my wife. i have a real ax to grind with network television and medical dramas, but grey's is different. i thought the whole premise of her drowning 2 feet off of a dock lame. even if she can't swim, there was a ferry accident and all kinds of crap floating in the water to grab onto. i was kind of hoping the grey character wouldn't make it (she is the least interesting character on the show to me), but no such luck.
