She’s free?

I was very underwhelmed by the “Grey’s Anatomy” finale last night. I even stayed up after hitting the bars to watch it. I wish I had just waited and gone to sleep instead. Granted, it had its moments but the previous week’s episode was much better. I liked all the minor characters’ emotional arcs. But Mer/Derek and Burke/Christina…zzzz. I just didn’t get the ending at all when she’s crying and tearing off her wedding dress. I didn’t really understan who the hell this Christina was or how she was supposed to be acting in this episode. Maybe that’s what they were going for, but I definitely was not entertained by it.

Season 3 just can’t live up to season 2 because Meredith was finally with McDreamy. There was no more tension, so now they’ve gotta bring back that whole are they together/are they not dynamic to get the story moving again. I stopped caring about certain characters, which is a bad sign. Plus, tons of stuff was just swept under the rug for next season like the whole George, Callie, Izzie love triangle. And that whole running for chief business was just a joke, since Richard’s gonna stay anyway.

I just can’t keep up with it, but oddly, I’m kinda psyched about the spin-off. I loved Merrin Dungey as Francie on “Alias”, and you know that Taye Diggs is just a really sweet bonus. I can imagine myself leaning back in a home theater chair and really enjoying this show. It’s way more upbeat than the original “Grey’s Anatomy”. I welcome the change, despite the ridiculousness of “Grey’s Anatomy” even warranting a spin-off.
