There has been much rumor and speculation about this episode. Between the writer dropping hints (it takes place during Meredith and Derek’s wedding) and the rabid fans in various forums and blogs predicting the outcome, it’s been a virtual frenzy and build up which ultimately led to disappointment for some people. I am not one of them. My expectations weren’t high to begin with. I enjoy the show simply because the characters are fun. The dialogue is witty and it’s one of my guilty pleasures in life. For others, however, this show IS a way of life. They talk about the characters as if they were real people. As I read some of the reaction to tonight’s episode, I was like c’mon, seriously? SERIOUSLY?! (yes, I just said that) Was anyone really that surprised? I wasn’t. So they gave the wedding to Izzie and Alex. Woopdie Doo. Honestly, I thought the gesture was touching. I was most disappointed with how short the actual wedding part was. All this build up and then a wee lil’ wedding ceremony and then Izzie shaves her head. So, for that, the episode was a big MEH!
The only other thing that bothers me about this wedding was that I am not totally convinced of Izzie’s love for Alex. I can understand Alex’s for Izzie. But this girl has been a collosal pain in the butt since the very beginning of this series. Most of the drama seems to center around here which is puzzling considering the name of the show and I just can’t get past how she moves on from Denny, jumps to George and then ends up with Alex. Does that happen??? Denny was supposed to be this great love of her life and she explains tonight that when you’re supposed to be with someone there is a certain funny feeling you get in your stomach and it’s all exciting and stuff. She says that Denny didn’t make her feel that way but Alex does. He does? Since when? Very weird for me. I suppose people do move on from the whole death thing. I admit that there are times that I wonder myself what the future holds in the whole romance department. I seriously doubt there is a future there. That part makes me pretty sad because I’m not what you call old. And this single life is certainly one that I have against my will. Grrrr… So, I dunno…she moved on pretty fast, in my book. And Ijust don’t see that relationship she’s got with Alex as being all that believable. Of course, it’s just a TV show… so whatever.
