you're my person.

In which I happysigh over tonight's Grey's Anatomy and how it reminded me why I used to love this show so much. <3


+ THAT FIRST SCENE. OWEN D:D:D: I was afraid they were writing him out of the show or something, which would suck because I love this arc. But Owen? If you ever touch a hair on Christina's head again it will be on. THAT WAS SO DISTURBING. I kind of didn't even want her to stick with him, even though it was sort of romantic that she did, it's one of those things that you know would only work on TV. PTSD at the level that he has it is so dangerous. :/ So I was really glad that at the end, it didn't work out and we got to see just how scared Christina still is, and that Owen's getting help of the non-shagging variety, because he needs it. Big time. Also, how awesome was Callie and Meredith's protectiveness of her? LOVE.

+ I liked that George got more than two lines even if he was an asshat.

+ I like that Derek shaved that ridiculous beard.

+ I love Callie Torres.

+ The whole Izzie thing, and Alex's reactions to it were perfect. The subplot with the old lady was every bit as touching and the way it gave Alex perspective was great. It was really heartbreaking seeing him cry, and as much as Izzie has annoyed me these last couple seasons, I don't think it'd be the same show without her so I hope she pulls through.

+ Miranda Bailey might be my favorite character EVER.

+ Actually the elevator thing was kind of lovely. Meredith is much more bearable in relationships when she's strong like this, and I think the role reversal where she's being strong for Derek rather than needing him to save her and make her better every time ... it really helps their dynamic and makes it more palatable to me. So yeah, even the MerDer didn't detract from the epic of tonight's ep.

Why, especially?

Because the last scene was Meredith and Christina being each other's person. AS IT SHOULD BE. Even though Mere just got engaged for real this time. And no matter what, no matter what man they're each with, or what else is going on, it ALWAYS comes back to them. They always put each other first. It is so rare to see that kind of relationship between women on TV. Their BFF-ness is probably the best thing about the show. And a perfect cap to a great episode.
