Have you been watching this three-part sweeps-inspired travesty?
I’m sure you have, since almost everyone in America is a Grey’s fan. So am I, obviously, or I wouldn’t be writing about the show. But this three-parter is testing my loyalty.
As you know, the character for which the show is named, Meredith Gray, is in grave danger. She spent, by my account, 40 minutes under water during last week’s episode, yet somehow clings to life in Seattle Grace Hospital. Forty minutes is a long time to be under water, but dramatic license is a wonderful thing. So we can believe that, somehow, she was able to survive.
Part three is this week and Meredith is, according to the promos, without a heartbeat as she desperately tries to hold on.
Please.
It would be a great thing for the show if they killed off Meredith, but does anyone honestly think that’s going to happen? What then? McDreamy’s Anatomy? Don’t think so.
Meredith will pull out of this and we’ll all wonder why we wasted three weeks of our lives watching. The show used to be better than this.
