Claire I agree 100% with your comment, as well as your last post I read on the homepage. Grey's has just about lost me this season. Apathy is the absolute correct word. I used to be angry at what they have done to this show, now I just don't care anymore. I still adore the old season 1 & 2 Grey's. But if episode 11 ends as miserably as season 3 finale did, I for one will not be back if and when there is a season 5.
I interpret what PD was saying (in that interview on the above link), is that he wants the MerDer relationship to be settled one way or another. He implies that he has talked at length to Shonda, to either go forward or end it. I think he will be relieved if she goes either way. I know his original statements were always wanting MerDer together, but every time he discusses them he sounds really frustrated with the off and on thing, and wants it resolved.
Apparently from what he said about PP, there was conflict among the cast over Kate's leaving. Obviously they kept that pretty much in-house, which is how the other conflict should have been handled as well.
I'm sure many of us would love to see MerDer happily married and becoming parents together. I just don't think its realistic to expect bright and shiny from dark and twisty Shonda.
How anyone could pick Matt Damon over PATRICK is mindboggling to me! I don't get that at all! But he came very close and is absolutely the SEXIEST MAN ALIVE for all of us McDreamy fans!
Kathy--I want to give you a great big THANK YOU for always providing links to some totally awesome MerDer pics I'd never see otherwise! you're the best!
I think Shonda made these comments because of the interview with Patrick Dempsey in this week's TV Guide. I was very surprised that PD said he thinks Derek needs to move on from dating co-workers. He even joked about Derek and Cristina hooking up. Mainly he was talking about his difficulties last season with MerDer doing the same things over and over, and not going forward or having any depth in their relationship--the same complaints we fans had. I just think Shonda is trying to ressure fans that no matter what else they are hearing, Meredith and Derek are not over by any means.
Just wanted to let those of you know who are Burke fans, or Burke-Cristina fans, that we still have a very active Bang thread on this site. Some very nice people there to chat with who have not and will not forget this great actor and couple! We talk about all things Grey's, but share a common interest in Burktina.
