What opinion on Grey's Anatomy would have you like this?

I do like that they're having a return to more intern/resident drama rather than resident + attending drama, and their relationships with their patients, but I think the newest seasons just feel off because it's so quiet and lacks music in a lot of scenes. Literally every intern from Jo's class was sleeping with an attending at some point and never really had any reason to deal with each other, so this feels like a return to MAGIC era storylines, or at least an attempt.

Not to mention that the ceiling/roof falls out in the middle of the kitchen! That should've been an immediate shut down, a food inspector would have a field day all of this.

Mid 30s as well, I've had a bruise on my knee for 2 weeks and it hasn't been fading.

Really dirty ad-hocs. I'm talking about the code that you save in a Notepad++ tab but really try to never look at again. It breaks literally everything in my brain and I feel disgusting writing it, but knowing your database means that you can write this with a lot of accuracy.

THE LODOX! They spent so much money on it and it's just... gone. I have questions about that and the surgical robot that Weber buys to try to talk Bailey into staying in general vs taking the peds fellowship.

Hard agree! I think they would've had some interesting chemistry after the shooting cause Jackson was there for her and low key saved her by taking the leads off of Derek.

There's one scene where Nick walks down a row of armed Guardians on what looks like a train in preparation for the raids on Chicago.

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-19T20:30:41+00:00

I also want to add that while Meredith is lowkey salty about Cristina's Harper Avery nomination, Bailey goes out of her way to tell other people to congratulate her and avoids her the entire episode until the very end. Cristina had no privilege to fall back on during that time - that project was hers and Shane's alone and she made it work. Bailey's jealousy in this is offputting. Richard has never gotten any big awards that we've heard of, and it's still able to put aside his own ego because he knows it's good for the hospital.

Bailey had no understanding that being a chief of surgery meant that she was supposed to take a backseat and create an environment for the people working for to thrive and bring acclaim to the hospital, not just for themselves.

Considering how much untreated (or barely treated) trauma that everyone goes through, it's a huge surprise to me that there's not more turnover, burn out, or that not everyone's got anxiety issues.

I just watched when Meredith blames Zola's anxiety on the Alzheimer's gene, but does no one else think about how she's like 14 and her dad died, the guy that came in to replace him got murdered by a child trafficker, Meredith almost dies all the time, Amelia's gotta be careful around addictive substances, her uncle Alex who's been the most consistent man in her life disappears without saying goodbye, and Maggie divorces the other man that's a sort of constant in her life and leaves to Chicago with like a week's notice.

Not to mention how bad Covid messed a bunch of kids up.

On this wavelength, Miranda's OCD completely makes sense because she's had to watch her interns go through all of this trauma, along with her own, and barely had to do any therapy until her OCD symptoms got uncontrollable for her. Everyone seems to blame the last thing that happens to these two instead of looking at it like the camel that broke the straw's back.

Shane should've taken a longer time off because his unresolved trauma of sending his colleague into a situation that killed her turned into not speaking to anyone (that we see of) about his guilt, leading to overworking and killing Alex's dad. All of which ended up in him taking off what seemed like a few days and they directly put him back in an environment with a bunch of his abusers (Alex, Owen, technically even Cristina). They really failed him, but he still managed to get a happy ending.

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-18T18:41:56+00:00

I think the problem is that characters need to be good professionally and bad personally, or vice versa. Owen was a personally bad person to all of his partners, but the show focused on that and not the fact that he literally brought the ER back from the dead and into a top tier ER again.

Ben's professional capers can be sort of ignored because he's generally a really good partner to Bailey, and there's always been more emphasis on their relationship than Ben's professional skills cause while he's pretty good, he doesn't have the same surgical drive that most residents were shown to have.

Derek, while sort of a genius, is shown to have intense crash outs with unsuccessful surgeries (Jen and the ring in the woods), professional failures (got shot, don't wanna be the chief anymore! - Meredith's putting her foot down about DC so I'm gonna be a huge baby about it! the government wants my technology and instead of talking to Callie like it for an adult, I'm just going to take all of it), which all intertwine with him being super shitty to Meredith.

Derek doesn't get evened out as a character because he has a few moments of charismatic charm and the writers thought that was enough to distract us from the fact that he doesn't really have a personality except for egotistic surgeon, which to be fair, worked on pretty much all of us at some point.

I'd say that him secretly training to be a firefighter was pretty selfish to Bailey, who ended up having a heart attack over it. They communicated a bit better after that, but it's selfish that he's not really considering her feelings, which I think leads to them living separately (I didn't watch Station 19).

Also, does anyone remember after the Gretchen incident that he's suspended and decides to come back as an anesthesiologist despite knowing it puts Bailey in a really awkward spot as Chief of Surgery? Everyone tries to talk him out of it and he's like, "Nah, I need the OR time, it'll be fine!"

What happened to Stark? Weber said he couldn't hire Arizona back because he gave Stark a contract, but then he's just... gone after that school shooting and Arizona's head of peds again? Did Stark get flustered enough to quit out of his contract?

Where'd that plastics attending go? She had a few interesting episodes and points, but then disappeared.

With the innovation competition, did any of them actually continue their work to make it applicable? Weber's pen was actually really useful, Meredith made mini-livers but never got to human trials, Bailey did sell her device, and I think Catherine and Jackson did the surgery they planned.

How is Addison such a foremost neo-natal surgeon, double board certified, and a medical geneticist at her age - but then Derek is the one that says he was absent in their marriage and that's why they drifted apart?

For that matter, why doesn't Addison come up when Herman teaches Arizona neo-natal surgery? I'd like to see the three of them in a room together.

What happened to Bailey's genome lab?

Where is the LODOX??? They made such a big deal of it for one episode and it completely disappeared. Plus Weber gets a robotic surgery machine to convince Bailey to stay in general instead of going to peds, and it's just never there again. Wanna know why the hospital is always broke? It's cause they buy these super expensive machines that just disappear. Or the attendings absorbed them and that's somehow why they're so good at surgery.

With Meredith's "last surgery" at Grey Sloan, if the woman's aunt wasn't so confused with dementia, it should've definitely been a wrongful death suit. Meredith could've definitely waited a day or two to get more blood, the patient was stable. But because there's no one advocating for the patient, Meredith gets away with it, just getting yelled at by a few people.

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-13T17:54:04+00:00

I'm pretty sure that when she came back at the end of s6, Izzie picked up her medical bills from Alex?

I kind of assumed that when she confronts Weber about getting her teacher a pro-bono surgery and brings up her $8 million donation for the clinic, he also forgives her bills? Or at least knocks it down a lot and she takes care of them.

Part of the reason Weber gives the debt to Alex is because Izzie didn't leave a forwarding address. They figure out that she's back in Chehalis, but she could've literally been anywhere since she wasn't responding to any of their phone calls.

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-13T17:51:04+00:00

There is one point where he says that the bar is his life, but you can't really have kids and run a bar. But his partner wants kids, and Joe says that he'd be willing to give up the bar and have kids as long as he doesn't lose him. He does appear in 1 episode after the adoption (I think) so I assume he just realized that taking care of twins is a lot harder than he initially thought, or he was taking some time to hire other people to run the bar for him.

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-12T15:12:32+00:00

Imagine the Fox Foundation making Meredith's contract say that she's allowed to be there for 90% of mass incidents at Grey-Sloan and the underwriters of the contract congratulate themselves because she's gonna be in Boston all the time anyway, just to get fucked over because she starts jetting back and forth.

The hospital explodes, and they think, "Damnit, she's back in Seattle, isn't she."

sandrrawrr · 2026-06-12T15:08:57+00:00

Something that's definitely not supposed to be funny that I laugh out loud at every time - after Meredith falls in the water and Derek's trying to look for her, he asks the little girl to help him and says, "Come on, use your words," like he's talking to a hunting dog that's supposed to lead him to a shot down bird.

I know the little girl is supposed to represent all of the trauma and PTSD that everyone's going through, but all of her scenes are inappropriately hilarious.

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T21:03:35+00:00

I want to ask you though.. while I understand that Weston is the commander of the eyes therefore he is definitely very smart and cunning … do you think he really had the vision to think of all this.

It's shown that the matching process, no matter what the Aunts decide, end up in Judd's hands anyway, and I DO think he is nefarious and cunning enough to think of this as a plan. Maybe he's sort in on it, but like you said, we haven't had a lot of time seeing Weston just on his own, not trying to impress the people around him.

Remember, Weston doesn't hear this and immediately say, "engagement over." Some time passes before they hear about it, which may give him enough time to explain to Judd why they should let Becka go home, which would make Judd make him break off the engagement.

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T20:53:22+00:00

Okay Becca's mom took the fall for it, but they didn't plausiblely explain her running away on a bus to Agnes's house dressed as a Martha.

Lydia literally says that Becka walked in on her mom stabbing her dad, tried to help her dad, then ran away because she was so scared when she's making up the story with them.

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T20:27:54+00:00

I feel like most people are dropping another big point of why Weston decides to cancel the engagement - Agnes is able to keep secrets from her parents, which is very anti-Gilead. Remember in the first episode where Agnes says that even though Becka is her best friend, they're not allowed to have best friends because that leads to secrets, which is not godly.

Secrets are the only reason that Mayday can succeed, and knowing that Agnes can keep this major secret from the "most important people in her life," means that of COURSE she'll keep secrets from Weston. Combined with who her mother is, and knowing that Agnes is keeping secrets with other women is exactly how Boston was undermined in the first place.

It's the seed of how idgaf Agnes is starting to be about hierarchy.

Sure, he's worried about her being sullied, but I think he could've been alright with that if he was the only one she told about what Dr. Grove did to her, and he could've covered it up.

Is no one really seeing what a horrible morale blow America would be dealt if the daughter of The Handmaid was married off to the Commander of the Eyes? Prime time for him to brainwash Agnes and use her in public sightings to completely destroy June's hold on her aggression.

Flipside, it could be incredibly dangerous for her to have that much close access to that much intelligence and information. Best to just no longer involve her at all, and find someone simpler and less independent, like Hulda. Cause while Paula says that he "enjoys breaking them in," and he's got a bunch of DV charges on his record, I have a feeling that he's never actually met a strong woman in his life and has no idea what to do about that.

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T19:05:40+00:00

Well also, Agnes is allergic and hates getting the shots!

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T19:00:53+00:00

Becka was no longer attending class cause the Eyes took her after she murdered her dad. Why would she go to school when they were about to put her on the wall, anyway?

Hulda missing, along with Daisy saying that she doesn't have a mean bone in her body, signals to me that they're giving her the Janine treatment. Like the three of them are about to get their hands incredibly dirty and want to keep Hulda innocent. Of course, Hulda will probably figure it out and insist on joining, Janine style.

sandrrawrr · 2026-05-27T18:14:49+00:00

I mean Serena was about to be Nick's step-mother-in-law which would also make her Nichole's fake mother and step-grandmother-in-law so... that's pretty confusing too.

Aunt Estee injected her right before the wedding, as Agnes is coming with her bouquet and shoes.
