Can't get it right today

I found this letter to Grey's Anatomy on my last skim through College Candy, and I couldn't agree more, especially after watching my first episode of Grey's this season. It's just tragic, to be honest. They used to be edgy, dramatic and, to a point, believable. But now? This past episode kicked off with some doctor I had never heard of (probably caused by lack of watching all season) dying. While examining a kid who was - after being told all episode nowhere near dying - apparently only alive by some miracle. This led the chief to shut himself up in the darkness of an empty operating room all episode because he's afraid of his hospital dying. The same way the show's dying, perhaps? According to my family, I missed the big lesbian affair, but really - Izzy's having sex with Denny? I'm pretty sure he died in the second season. And I actually heard her beg him, "I can't choose, please don't make me choose," in terms of deciding between Denny and Alex. Denny's DEAD. It's actually painful to watch. And somewhere along the path of humanizing Bailey, she entirely lost her edge - what made her character. Goodbye, intern-proclaimed "Nazi," hello, doctor nearly sobbing by the bedside of a patient. Christina's fight with Meredith and ensuing awkwardness only makes Christina more irritating, and Derek won't give a patient (albeit one from death row) morphine? Ridiculous. Take my advice - if you want to watch a doctor show, go for Scrubs.
