It took a while and a trip to the ER but I finally had time to catch up and re-watch the season premiere and episode 2. The first episode wasn’t as boring as I remember. I will chalk it up to being distracted that night but after rewatching the episode, I did see some things that I did like.
I think that if they keep up with the new residents acting badass around the new interns, it could be fun. The fact that Cristina is calling the interns she is responsible for by numbers instead of names is classic Cristina. I liked the fact that George will be worshipped by the new interns – at least for a little while. He’s just been a whipped puppy for the past couple of seasons. I liked that Alex admitted to Cristina, of all people, that he missed Ava/Rebecca and she, in turn confessed to missing Burke (who I actually don’t miss as much as I thought I would). I liked how McSteamy needs his friend more than he needs women. But, I’m still annoyed with the show’s protagonist, Meredith. Will she ever get over her father’s abandonment?
Episode 2 was even better. My favorite part was the exchange between Bailey and Alex. She needed to chew him out and needed her to do it. Bailey is my favorite character on this show. And it’d be a shame to have her wilt under her envy of Callie getting the Chief Resident position. Ugh. Callie. She’s not very likable. I don’t even LIKE to hate her.
So, after 2 episodes, I’m not too disappointed although I still miss Denny and am not sure what to think about Izzies sudden love for George. Unlike other fans, I don’t have a problem with her being in love with George – eventually but Denny isn’t even cold yet. So, it almost seems forced. What if George leaves Callie and then she realizes that all she wanted was his friendship and attention – not necessarily a romantic relationship? That’ll turn George gay really fast – maybe that’s the intent?
