My Name is Kris and I Blah-g

I think I will have to rewatch this episode. Either I was tired and missed everything or there just wasn’t much there. One minuted it started and the next it ended and I was left staring at the tv screen thinking “uuuuuuuuuh, what just happened to the last hour of my life?” That doesn’t bode well for this show that I love. BUT, I did not get much sleep the night before and I wasn’t hitting on all cylinders last night. Or could it be that I was distracted by the diamond anniversary ring I got from the hubby for our 10th anniversary!! Okay…back to the show…Let’s see..we have a new group of interns and George has made the decision to give it another go although I don’t think it was explained why. Last season ended with him cleaning out his locker and meeting Meredith’s half sister, Lexie. Is Lexie the reason? I dunno. Is it Izzie? It can’t be Callie who is just more annoying than ever.The rest…. Meredith, Cristina, Izzie and Alex return from what I guess is like a month’s long vacation? They let them all take that much time off at the same time? Weird…We find out that Meredith and Cristina went to Hawaii together on what was to be Cristina’s honeymoon with Burke. Alex pined for Ava/Rebecca and got some sort of weird lounge singer hairdo and goatee. And Izzie spent the time alone trying to figure out why George was ignoring her after her declaration of love. Bailey is back and pissed because the Chief gave her job to Callie who as zero respect from the other residents and sucks at her job. It’s obvious that the Chief has a soft spot for Bailey and maybe perhaps is planning to groom her for some other more important position later in her career? Maybe? I dunno. I just hope that Bailey doesn’t spend all season eating sour grapes about this stupid thing and we can see her making other people miserable besides Callie. She’s miserable enough on her own.I guess the most enjoyable part of this season opener was getting to see how the interns of yesterday had turned into badass residents and are doing all they can to make the lives of the new interns miserable. Cristina is on her way to being Cristina again. She spent some time pining for Burke which is understandable and next week she gets to have a confrontation with her ex-future monster-in-law and hopefully this will close the door on the Burke thing. I thought that Burke’s character was good and the whole thing about Isaiah Washington was dumb and unfortunate but it’s time to get over it.I am a little concerned about being overrun by too many characters. We have all these new interns and will they be just background filler – people for the residents to pick on? Or will they matter? Is Lexie the only one we’re supposed to care about?Finally, Derek and Meredith decide to break up but not before they can have break up sex. WHO does that?! And then we’re supposed to get excited about the “sex scene” but then it was a let down. Just a moment of breathlessness and then it goes all slow-mo and shadowy as they kiss and then it’s over. Mmm-k.So, I guess based on what I can recollect of this season opener, I was a tad let down. I hope next week is better. I will rewatch the episode sometime this weekend…maybe my opinion will change.
