This is Shonda we are talking about. If she put out an episode without Cristina and included everyone else than I’d have to take that as a slap in the face to ALL THE CRISTINA/BURKE FANS.
And this would be strange to you Gloria? Cause it would not be strange nor surprising to me in the least if she did anything to insult or not take into consideration the love fans of this couple. It would not surprise me at all, cause if she does not think a couple belongs together then that is all that matters, vs. if she does believe they do belong together, that it also ALL that matter, does Gizzie ring a bell. The only reason Gizzie is ending is because ABC stepped in I'd bet my farm on it if I had one, and that little comment from Gizzie about how it is the wrong time and not their chemistry is all Shonda and her sticking to her guns that SHE believes Gizzie belongs together. The woman has NEVER supported Burke and Cristina, NEVER, it is not where she wanted Cristina's story to go and Burke before IW was cast was not even supposed to be a factor past season one with the original actor who was supposed to play him.
But she is most disrespectful to the fans of this pairing, she does not get, that it's not OK to tell us how this couple did not belong together because they were so unhealthy and Burke really did not love the real Cristina. She honestly thinks cause she says it, somehow that is how we'll see it. She should just STFU and write her crap if she's going to do what she's going to do, but don't add insult to injury and talk about it as if it was meant to be and the only avenue the storyline could have gone because she perceives the characters in her mind a certain way. This is where her ego comes into to play and it also shows how crappy a writer she is, cause if you listen to her on the podcast or read a blog of her, you'll be reading or listening along, well I will, and she's spewing her bullshit and I'm like OK, yeah you thought you wrote it that way, but that's sure as hell not how I saw it, that was not my perception. So her writing is never strong enough to even persuade me even remotely toward the middle of the line of her way of thinking and that's a bad writer. It would be fine if this were a novel, but on screen it's just bad writing because it does not get me to think as much as it frustrates me and takes the joy out of watching.
She does not get that, that behavior and commentary from her on this couple is NOT how the fans saw them and she gives no respect for that and that's insulting. Yes, she sees the couple one way but it's not OK for her to try and manipulate us or have a nasty enough ego to actually tell us what or how we should see characters and pairings and this is what she does at every turn. The woman acts like she loathes fans of Burke, fans of Cristina and most of all fans of the pairing. At least that is what her writing tells me. She also has the nastiest ego, ego is fine, I like it especially in women, but when it messes with the direction of the character I'm invested in I don't care. Her ego is nasty enough to actually put out an episode without Cristina and not comment on it cause she does not feel the need to explain herself let alone to fans of Cristina. Have you ever listened to her podcast? The woman has said like two words in four years that were supportive of the pairing and supportive of Cristina the individual character. Heck Betsy Beers has said a few more words than Shonda in support of Cristina. She hates the character because she originally just wanted her to be some friend of Meredith and that was all and to pretty much not have ANY storyline except listening to Meredith. But ABC needed some extra seasons and that is why they brought in Addy and they went with Bang seeing that IW and SO had chemistry. But that was NOT the original plan at all.
Now she thinks she can put Cristina right back where she orginally wanted her and I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SHONDA'S CRISTINA, SHE DOES NOT EXIST. Now if Shonda would just get that I'd be a happy watcher of this show again, Cristina became SO's character and she put a stamp on the character, and included things that Shonda never intended to include. But now that Shonda has "burned it all down" (insert me rolling my eyes), she thinks she can take folks back to the vibe of season one, yeah, sorry, you CANNOT go back.
Wait, you can go back, but IT SHOULD ONLY be to learn from the past, to correct the wrongs from the past if possible, to find a sense of peace so that you can move on DUMBASS SHONDA. UGH, she's nauseating, her writing that is, just horrid it's not even good creative, character driven writing by IVY League standards, and Ivy League school is exactly where she spent her undegraduate years. Speaking of pasts, I would like to go back further into Cristina's rather than watch her coddle Lexie in another freaking episode, or try to get Meredith to dance so that they can get their minds off their troubles, while I get saturated with precious airtime being used on Gizzie.
AND, one last bitch, if I hear Cristina referred to again as kickass or a survivor, I am going to f-ing hurl. They have that BS spewed out in the dialogue just to give themselves a freaking pass, so as NEVER to actually delve into Cristina's issue and vulnerabilities to have her deal with them and I am sick and tired of it, it's total bullshit and this is season four already. She's not kickass, THAT's MY FACT, MY PERCEPTION and I love the character enough and am interested enough in her growth, happiness and well being to admit that. I don't care if she EVER utters a funny line again for freaking comic relief on this lousy show, I want her issues dealt with and I don't give a you know who how they arrange that. Their the damn "gifted" writers of the supposed #1 drama on t.v., figure it the hell out.Get to work if this strike EVER ends and figure out how to get an emotional trouble Cristina where she needs to be.
To me a kickass woman, is not only efficient at her job and takes no prisoners, BUT even more importantly she is honest and in touch with her emotions and know she has issues but does not sit on them and let them contiue to stunt her, hell they just had Cristina say to Meredith something about "knowing you issues and dealing with them are two entirely different things". I found this line out of Cristina's mouth to be a crock by the way, and just the writers once again caring more about Meredith than they do my Cristina as to have her utter something so introspective, when I know damn well she has grown but STILL is a far cry from uttering such introspective, mature, intouch with your feelings kind of advice. But they had her say it cause they wanted it to be said so Meredith could hear it and Meredith could not possible come up with this conclusion YET I am to buy Cristina coming up with it?! F-ing insulting asssholes these writiers. I'm just sick of them not truly caring about the well being of this character in any way, it's all about her onliners and them bullshitting that kickass line to describe her (insert me rolling my eyes once again), I just don't buy any of it and it is NOT how I see Cristina at all.
