Eureka!

Cristina's Victorian Romance?

Okay, so I'm re-watching 5x14 [Beat our Heart Out] right now. And I came to an immediate realization.

Upon first watching, I thought 'why the hell is this creepy music playing every single time that Cristina and Hunt lay eyes on one another?'. And then, it made sense.

At the beginning of the episode, when Cristina and Meredith are talking about Ellis's journal, Cristina says:

"...it's kind of...uhm.. hot. Actually. but like chastely hot...it's all stolen glances and illuded exchanges. The thing reads like a Victorian romance novel.."

And it clicked.

Cristina and Hunt are comparable to Ellis and Richard in the respect that they're hiding what they have. Meredith, for the most part, is the only one who knows there is something going on there. And now, there is the introduction of this woman who spooks Hunt, which leaves me to think that maybe he isn't so honest about his love like as we'd like. They're hiding from everyone.




Every time their eyes meet, there is the music. They walk together, their hands brush. It's a small gesture, one that nobody else would think anything of. Yet, it speaks novels with the brush of their fingers. This is Cristina's Victorian Romance, complete with cheesy music.



I only caught on because I listened deeper into the music, and I was like 'this is something they'd play in Pride or Prejudice' and it fell into place.

Now maybe I'm completely wrong in this assumption. Or maybe someone else caught this before I did. But I had an epiphany and I had to share it somewhere, with people I know would understand it just as I had.

The more I think about it, the more I find myself comparing Cristina to Ellis. And I don't know necessarily if that is a good thing, but Cristina circa the earlier seasons had the same drive for her work, the same kind of cold attitude towards her relationship with Burke. I just wonder if maybe there is more to Shonda's Cristina than we're catching onto.

But maybe I'm just overthinking. What do you guys think?

Meredith Grey Is Freaky: A Serious Film

Meredith, Stop Drowning

Why I Don't Care If Izzie Stevens Dies

After the realization that Izzie is sick and the news that Katherine Heigl is leaving Grey's Anatomy, I felt it was necessary to compile this list.

Reason #1

"You want to see it? You really want to see it? Fine! Let's look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? What are these? Oh, my God! Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine hauling these things around?

Before I comment, let me show you a screen capture of this scene (1x04)

So by "hauling these around" did you mean grandma boobs, Izzie? Because honestly, I'm not impressed. Frankly, I'm offended by the fact that you not only spoke of your breasts, but you showed them to me while they dangled in those sacks you call a bra.

You may be thinking, "Hey Ash, aren't you being a little harsh?"

No, I just googled grandma bra:

Familiar?

Reason #2

Season one episode seven. Remember how Izzie freaked out about Meredith sleeping with Derek? Annoying much? She's just jealous the best she can get is a washed up athlete, Alex, Denny, George, and then ghost Denny (somehow).

I'd be annoyed if I had to live with that too, Meredith. You don't need to oil any bedsprings. Your wild and crazy sex-capades are welcomed with open arms.

Reason #3

"It was me. I cut his LVAD wire."

Wait, how is she still a doctor? I guess she totally "paid" for her mistake by laying on the floor/standing in front of the hospital for forever and a day. (insert sarcasm).

Reason #4

Okay, Okay, Okay. I know she used the huge sum of money she received because of Denny's death. But does anybody recall how she put it on the fridge with a magnet for a while? Really? I'd deposit that shit right away. Don't be stupid. Like, "Oh hey, a kajillion dollars. Hang it on the fridge like a depressing report card".

Reason #5

Gizzie. WHAT ON EARTH? Really? Way to take my two least favorite characters and make me sit through the disgustingness that is George and Izzie. Way to be a total home wrecker, Izzie. Not that Callie and George weren't gross enough. Gizzie definitely tops them.

*Listen for gross slurpy kiss sound*

Reason #6

Remember season four episode twelve? The competition? Hey, remember how Izzie convinced that guy he was going to die for the sake of the competition? Oh yeah and remember how his hospital bill was through the roof due to her unnecessary and expensive testing?

"Trust me, I'm a doctor.....p.s. that will be a kajillion dollars. You can make it out to Seattle Grace Hospital. Oh by memo, you should write 'Izzie Stevens shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine'. Hah! Isn't competition fun?!"

Reason #7

Izzie not only sees dead people, she has strange and very audible sex with them. Either she's legit a ghost whisperer or the best masturbator in the world. Most uncomfortable pairing besides Gizzie? Deadzie. That's a shipper name for Dead Denny/Izzie. I don't know if this quite counts as necrophilia, but I will qualify it as such anyways. Yes, the whole thing is most likely some sort of schizophrenia due to (hopefully) a brain tumor. I've got my money on brain tumor. I really hope I cash in. Anyways, this whole thing with Denny is just disturbing. The only disappointing thing the writers didn't explore? What on earth does it look like from an onlookers perspective? I have very disturbing images in my head now. Thanks Deadzie.

I don't know if "awkwardly disturbing" covers it.

Reason #8

I am so sick of Katherine Heigl that it makes me want to jump through the screen and kill Izzie myself. I don't know if it's her piranha teeth or her crazy nose that does it visually for me. But I know for sure that her diva personality is my emotional drive to murder Izzie. Let me just list three reasons why she's not as good of an actress as she thinks she is:

1. The Ringer

2. Knocked Up

3. 27 Dresses

Yep, she's going places. *rolling of eyes*

I couldn't find a really good photo of her teeth, so I'll just use a pretty similar set of chompers:

So, I'm for sure staying tuned for the rest of season five (as if i wasn't already). I think I'll go all Wizard of Oz and dance while singing, "Ding dong! The witch is dead!"

So I'm an ass, big deal.

It's About Freakin' Time

Us Magazine Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight will soon take off their scrubs for good, their Grey's Anatomy costar confirms.

When Us Weekly asked James Pickens Jr. (a.k.a. Grey's Dr. Richard Webber) on February 7 if Heigl is leaving the medical drama, he said, "Yes, she is." And he continued, "Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best."

Does anybody else think it's time to celebrate?

The Seattle Safari?

It's episode 5x13, you're Meredith Grey. You exit the prison facility with swollen eyes and tear stained cheeks, the gate slams shut behind you and across the street you spy the love of your life. Derek Shepherd embodies perfection. His hair is pushed back away from his beautiful blue eyes, which crinkle at the corners as he smiles at you reassuringly. He may not understand you, you say, but you wanted to show compassion.

It's sweet, it really is, Mer. Emmy Worthy. But for me, the scene was completely and utterly distracting. Why?

Derek Shepherd's massive vehicle. And no, that is not porny in the least.

For those of you who watch the show regularly, you know that Derek Shepherd is a man's man. He loves fishing, living in a trailer in the woods, chopping down trees and dressing in flannel. Okay, well maybe he doesn't chop down trees but let us feed the lumberjack fantasy! He is so manly and into the outdoors that he even owns a Safari Jeep. Before we go into the details, let's travel back in time to season 3, episode 7- Where The Boys Are.


It is completely and understandable to own a Jeep in Seattle, Washington. You live in the mountains, the terrain is rough, and it rains. Well, yes, you may need a large vehicle for such conditions. But I wasn't aware that living in Seattle gave you the right to a vehicle suited for the rugged terrain of an African Safari.

But then you need to ask yourself the who, what, when, where, and why? It isn't as if you just show up at your local car dealership to find a car like that. It is aged. So definitely through a collector of fine cars. But I still have further questions. For instance, did Derek buy this car when he was living in New York? Because I don't see anyone driving that down the streets of Manhattan, despite it's jungle like qualities, or parking it outside their million dollar brownstone. So I'm assuming it was a Seattle purchase. But what interest do you have in a car like that when you're living in a city? When you're living in a town free of wildlife.

It's not like you drive down the street, 'Oh, hey if you look out the window to the right you'll see the Space Needle... and to the left? A wild pack of hyenas devouring a young gazelle.'

So D-Rack, why the crazy wheels? Do they suit your uber crazy lifestyle? Do you drive across the wilderness and hunt lion in your spare time? I see no practical use for such a car. If they were trying to add to his outdoors-y appeal, why not just provide the man with a simple 4x4 of some assortment? An SUV would do. But this is taking it too far. It takes him from Derek Shepherd; fisherman to Derek Shepherd: Crocodile Hunter.

They always say don't sweat the small stuff, but I can't help but be distracted by such a out of place car. I wonder if Meredith has ever questioned his choice in automobile. Maybe they use it in some sort of roleplay, something with Jumanji. Maybe he dresses up as that creepy guy with the long mustache and chases her around the house. I mean, some people are into some freaky shit. There is no practical use for the car. Unless there is a Safari somewhere in the North Western United States. In which case, I will feel like a colossal idiot.

Safari in Seattle anyone?
