Methinks she doth whine too much

I was so disappointed by last Thursday's episode of "Grey's Anatomy". It had so much promise and all that happened was Meredith whined, Izzie moped and Derek was a moron. This stuff is the same stuff that's been going on since the first episode of the season!

What the hell did Meredith do with all the time she took off to recover from her appendectomy? It had to be at least three to six weeks. Instead of getting caught up with "General Hospital", she might have picked up the phone and called Derek to let him know she'd given Finn the boot. Did she really think that McDreamy was just sitting around, McDreaming about her? Then she whines about it all day long and when she finally gets a chance to say something, she behaves like she's in third grade. Please. Get your damn hair out of your face, Meredith and act like a woman!

And Izzie has grieved long enough. Laying on the bathroom floor in the prom dress and the muffin baking marathon was more than sufficient. Perhaps her friends should have called for a psych consult after she stood outside the hospital all day long. And this week, she just roamed around the hospital whining about her 8.7 million inheritance and what to do with it. I've got an idea, why not give Meredith a couple hundred to get a haircut? Come on, Izzie, you had the balls to get out of the trailer park and get through medical school debt-free. Get over Denny, put the damn check in the bank and go back to work.

Derek is no longer McDreamy. He's McAnnoying. You love Meredith. Yet you're still agonizing over Addison and McSteamy. Maybe you need a psych consult too. Meredith's revelation in the elevator right after Addison's confession should have made for a passionate, relieved embrace, but no, we have to drag this whole thing out until November sweeps. Sigh.

Even Bailey and Callie (my two favorite characters) were annoying. Bailey caved into that smug doctor's accusations about her hormones and Callie felt guilt over taking a ride on the McSteamy Express. I'm hoping for a better episode this week. The more I watch "Grey's", I find myself longing for the end of the World Series and the return of "House".

Put down the remote and pick up a book.
