My Love For Grey's Anatomy: Explained


Grey's Anatomy popped into my life as a recommendation from a friend, who noticed that I had loved Red Band Society, in its short bid on Fox. I never though I would enjoy a medical drama as I don't really care for bloody surgeries and massive crush injuries that always seem to be flooding my screen whenever I choose to sit down and settle in for a nine hour marathon of Grey's.

But that ship sailed....

I also loved the way that this show incorporated love and work. I am NOT a fan of love stories and love dramas and pretty much anything love related(just ask my sister). But somehow, this show's ability to make the drama work-centric and love-centric made it highly amusing and addicting. But nonetheless, in some episodes, the scenery is just a little much. Also, as pathetic as this sounds, Grey's gave me something to watch when Law and Order: SVU went on break for a month and I was in search of another show to devote my attention to, because yes, I just needed a show to watch all the freaking time. 

definitely....

Grey's Anatomy provides me with constant comic relief, and many of the people close to me are familiar with the frantic running towards them with my laptop open and ready to show them the latest most amusing clip I see...and they tend to get a little annoyed when they get about ten a day. Grey's has also managed to knock me to tears on several occasions. One being when Izzie's(a surgical intern) boyfriend whom she was going to marry died on the table of the OR after undergoing a risky heart transplant with a ton of complications leading up to it. Another being in Season 11, when Derek Shepherd(McDreamy) managed to get hit by a truck, and die. 

and I have never cried for a show before.....

Grey's Anatomy gave me new music to obsess over! In the musical episode, Song Beneath the Song, the cast members sang the songs that have always been iconic for the show, like Chasing Cars and How To Save A Life. This has provided me with lots of music to obsessively play in the car to the precise annoyance of my parents who have to listen to it, since of course, I zipped to the iTunes store and bought the playlist from the episode. 

and I play music over and over again....

Overall, Grey's Anatomy has taught me a lot(when it comes to medical garble), and given me the best comic relief when I need it the most. The love story intertwined with the sick and injured coming into Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital makes for one of the best shows I have ever watched. In the words of Derek Shepherd, it's a beautiful day to save lives.

Law and Order Special Victims Unit: S17E18 Sheltered Outcasts Review

Image
Sheltered Outcasts was released on March 30, 2016. This episode was decent enough, and it had a good line of suspense. A quick recap of this episode, Detective Carisi is deep undercover in a homeless shelter, where known sexual assailants are housed. The investigation into the shelter is triggered by a serial rapist the detectives need to catch. Detective Carisi was roughed up by some men in the shelter, but survived. The man of suspicion is Richie Caskey, a man who Detective Carisi thinks is a good man. In a shocking turn of events, it turns out the rapist is Caskey's lawyer, and that was figured out after the shelter's therapist was raped and murdered, and another victim IDs his voice while standing in the middle of the squad room with Olivia. This episode was a good episode, I didn't see much of Dodds Jr. so I'm not sure what is going on there. It was great to see Lieutenant Benson back in action, after being transferred because of a sex trafficking ring that her boy...

Grey's Anatomy Season 13 "Don't Stop Me Now" Review

Image
So last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy was our first one back since Meredith and Nathan officially became a "thing" after their experience on the plane. I was eager to see how they would play Maggie, given her previous liking of Riggs and how he turned her down. This episode was unfortunately very predictable, which I don't really like when it comes to shows, I enjoy suspense. This episode opens with Meredith in front of a mirror rehearsing what she's going to say to Maggie about her and Nathan, with Alex getting ready to leave around her while being forced to listen to the role play. They finally decide on one in the hospital bathroom, but the plan is foiled when Maggie figures out the newest couple at the press conference that was being held to honor the achievements of what happened on the plane. She's annoyed, hurt and angry as we expected, moving from ignoring, to rudeness, to tears. Maggie finally seems to forgive her at the end, when she agrees ...

Law and Order: SVU S17E11

Image
Townhouse Incident aired on NBC January 13, 2016.  This episode could quite possibly qualify as one of the worst SVU episodes that I've ever seen. A quick background of this episode; Olivia's regular babysitter Lucy, is having a problem with her family, and was complaining to Olivia. Being the good person that she is, she heads for the townhouse, only to be taken hostage along with two children and their mom. This is evidently traumatizing to her, as she wasn't able to stop the sixteen year old girl from being raped by Joe, one of the hostage takers. In the end, the snipers take out Joe as he exits the townhouse with the intent of running off with Benson. It gets one out of five stars from me, and here's why.  The producers of SVU are overplaying the "Olivia Benson in trouble" and my guess is that they are responding to the rave reviews that they received out of the William Lewis season, where Benson is taken hostage twice in season fifteen. This episode also ...
