Grey's Anatomy, Season 6. Yawn.

OK, no beating around the bush here. Here are my thoughts on last night's 2 hour season premiere of my beloved show, in list format. That's right. The show was so boring, and I'm still so deafened by Heigl's scenery chomping, that I can't even be bothered to write in complete paragraphs.

1. I'm so sick of this "Ohh, isn't it ironic when the doctor becomes the patient" bullshit. Enough already. Izzie as a cancer patient is worse than a Tori Spelling Lifetime movie. I just don't care.
2. Hasn't ER done enough with melodramatically killing off its doctors? Brain tumor on a beach, crushed by a helicopter, died saving people in a fire, stabbed in the ER, blown up in Iraq... thrown in front of a bus. Oh wait, wrong show. It's so easy to get confused these days.
3. Really? George was hit by a bus? Right before he joined the army? Come on. And nice use of the passage of time, by the way, so that by the second episode, we can pretend like George never existed. And is checking his freckles and such really the only they have to ID him?
4. RIP, George O'Malley. May you live on in TV heaven among the likes of Mark Greene, Dana Fairbanks, and oh, those are the only ones I can come up with right now, but every other TV character who died before their time.
5. Bad acting. Just plain bad acting, across the board. Poor Justin Chambers did the best he could to keep up with Heigl's scenery chomping, but he was helpless.
6. Note to network drama writers: please don't use curse words when you know you're not allowed to use them. "Freakin'" is really not a word people actually use, unless they're in one of those sitcoms with a token African American character or something. You're writers! Find another word that's more powerful, so that I don't have to listen to Katherine Heigl say "freakin" like a freakin white girl every two seconds.
7. How pregnant was Ellen Pompeo? Sheesh.
8. I'm really confused by the living arrangements on this show now. Does Arizona live with Callie now? Didn't Mark already have an apartment? What happened to the apartment Lexie shared with George? Are Izzie and Alex really going to live in the trailer?
9. OK, OK, I'll talk about actual content. Sorry, I don't remember there being any.
10. All that said, I will continue to watch this show. Because once upon a time, I got attached to these characters, and I want to know what happens to them, for better or worse. I still think Meredith Grey would be excellent as my doctor, and Alex is my broody boyfriend. I would never date Callie, but I wouldn't mind having a drink with her. Don't let her anywhere near me if I'm in the hospital, though. She, and especially her drag queen makeup, would make me cry.
10.5. I know I live in the past, but I still miss Erica Hahn. And Addison.
