I love Grey’s Anatomy. Even during its annoying phases, I have always been a fan. I watch it religiously every Thursday night and loved George O’Malley.
Admittedly, I was wary of Season 6 since they had just killed George off. What could they do to make this show worthwhile? And the fact that Izzie was still there annoys me so much.
It was a confusing season, filled with both the worst and the best episodes. I have to admit now, the introduction of Dr. Webber’s return to alcoholism and the merger with Mercy West was a good and needed step in the right direction for the show. It gave the show new problems, new depths and new blood to investigate.
I like the introduction of Teddy Altman as the new cardiothoracic attending, as Owen’s “gift” to Cristina. It added a new depth to Cristina– she’s finally growing up. The fact that Owen used to like Teddy and vice versa was troublesome for Cristina, but she wasn’t willing to give up both because she recognize they represent different sides of her, the personal and professional one.
I must admit, I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a story line between Meredith and Derek besides the pleasantness of their lives and Chief Webber. All that changed at the end though.
Out of all the Mercy West residents, I like Jackson Avery. He’s held his own and there’s just so much that can be used about him. I just wish there was more time and opportunity to get to know the other residents.
***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!***
This now leads me to the Season 6 finale. I think this was their strongest episode in Season 6 and the strongest finale since Season 1. It led to people making the right choices for them and growing just a little bit more.
I liked the romance between Callie and Arizona and I’m glad they decided to get back together. But I’m worried the magic might fade again soon for them, after adjusting to the shock and trauma. Owen choosing Cristina was pretty good. I didn’t think they had chemistry before, but they do grow on you. Speaking of Cristina though, nice play on her playing the surgeon. All those times working with Burke and Teddy has paid off and she can hold herself up. And operating and not killing the Chief, not bad.
I wonder what’ll happen to Mark, Lexie and Alex. Now that it’s been revealed Alex is still hung up on Izzie, what will their future be? Or will Lexie go back to Mark? Looking forward definitely to Season 7 in September.
So what were your favorite Season 6 moments?
