Review
I can’t believe this series has been on the air for three years and this is the first time I’ve watched it. I was impressed with the way
the writers were able to keep the medial aspect of the show real while helping us to connect with both doctors and interns. It’s like a
tame version of a soap opera with a mix of medical terminology.
Defining Moment
As I watched Grey’s Anatomy, Season 3, I couldn’t help but feel as though I were giving into a guilty pleasure. Premarital sex, love
triangles, forbidden love, and so much more.
I was hooked on the love triangle between Callie, George, and Izzie. First, I couldn’t believe he didn’t know he had feelings for Izzie,
then I couldn’t believe Izzie decided she had feelings for George only after sleeping with him over a drunken stooper. And finally, I
felt sorry for Callie who thought she’d finally found love—only to be severely hurt. Her entire demeanor changed as she watched her
relationship with George die and in her I saw hundreds of women who try desperately to hold onto relationships that have long been
over—hoping to rekindle that one moment that brought them together and hoping that in doing so their dreams would be fulfilled.
And then there was the relationship between Burke and Christina. Christina clearly loved Burke, but his constant need to “try and change
her” continued to build a wall between the two of them. In his mind, he had vision of what the perfect mate would be like and he truly
believed that he could mold Christina into that vision. Then, on the day of their wedding, he realized that he could no longer continue
to make Christina into his vision—that if he truly loved her, he needed to let her be who she was and he couldn’t do it, so he left her
at the alter. And in him, I saw countless men and women who are never satisfied until everything is done their way—relationships,
business transactions, and children. Some become abusive verbally, other become abusive physically, and others just destroy every
relationship that comes there way—even the good ones.
Christina’s character is strong and will one day make a brilliant doctor. But she’s got a lot of baggage that keeps her distant and
sometimes cold when it comes to her patients. And the end of her relationship only adds to that. When Burke left her at the alter she
was confused, stunned, dazed, and left wondering if she was relieved to be free or scared to have given her heart only to have lost
the man she loved. In Christina I see women who try so hard to forget the past that they become stuck. Sure they succeed in their
careers and even their finances, but despite how successful they become, there’s just something missing and until they deal with the
baggage in their lives, there will always be something missing.
And let’s not get started on Meredith. Talk about complete craziness! Her parents screwed her up so badly that she has only allowed
one person in—and that one person is just as screwed up as her, emotionally. Meredith is smart and has the potential to be a great
partner—and one day, mother—but she can’t see it and therefore destroys every good relationship that enters her life. Her depression,
untreated, nearly kills her, destroys the best thing that has ever happened to her, and leaves her in a self-destructive mode.
In Meredith I see what can happen to people who don’t reach out, who live with untreated depression, and who allow the past to rule
their futures. In Meredith I see lost hope.
Your Task
Grey’s Anatomy offers lots of material for adults to open of conversations with their teenagers about trust, honesty, love, premarital sex, love triangles, friendships, depression, suicide, and even hope. If there’s an area in your child’s life that you feel could be opened up by a conversation starter, search the episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, watch the show together, and then ask your child what he/she thought about it.
