re: walk on water

i've received a request for my thoughts on last week's episode of grey's anatomy. you love me! you really love me!

so here it is:

as i mentioned in one of my previous posts, i hate 3-part episodes. it just means that the first episode is all about building the setting, and you KNOW all the excitement is going to happen in the last three seconds before the end. i was tempted to just record this week's episode and watch it right before next week's episode. but i didn't. because that would take will power, which i don't have.

i don't understand why the writers always want to put meredith in peril. sure, i guess it's good for ratings, but since it's called grey's anatomy, of course they won't kill her off. so it's suspenseful but it's not.

does anyone else think that the crushed pregnant woman's face looks like meredith's step-mother's face? pats on the back to the make-up people - i couldn't even look at this woman's face even though it wasn't real. ugh.

richard's hair. oh dear, richard's hair. at times it looked like it had a purple-ish hue! i think that grey hair is attractive on men (what a double standard!) and he should have left it as is. perhaps he will take mcsteamy's advice and put in highlights? my hairdresser was telling me about how he has male clients that flat-iron their hair. ha, the chief should grow his hair and then borrow meredith's flat iron. that'll definitely have the ladies calling.

and WHY can't burke and cristina ever be happy?! there are snippets of their happiness, but it doesn't usually last long. and it seems burke likes to use his position of authority to punish her - when she wanted to get the donor heart for denny in season 2, he let alex come with him even though she asked first...i can't remember the reason why, but he was mad at her so he didn't let her get the heart with him. and this episode, he wouldn't let her scrub in because she didn't tell meredith about their engagement? stupid burke. why don't you go cry in the corner by yourself while everyone ignores you - wait, you already did that. tee hee. there need to be more happy moments between them otherwise their romance/engagement/future marriage won't be believeable.

that's all, folks. until next time...
