Watching Grey's re-run

Why do I put myself through this emo-ness/drama-ness over and over again?

Grey's Anatomy is one drama series I can watch over and over again and yet still having me at the edge of my seat cringing for the drama to stop but yet at the same time want more... so Dr. Jackal & Mr. Hyde this emotion... so much the confusing-ness.

Because I had nothing at all to do today at work and the internet was already getting boring, I though why not just randomly choose one episode of Grey's to kill time? I ended up with season 5's 2 episode long finale. Why? Why did I do it?

George... Izzie... Grey's had come a long way since season 1. It's not anymore all about Meredith. At first, you will think that without her, what's there to this show but later on along the way, you will in the end fall in love with every single character, big or small. Without them, I don't think this show would had been such a hit. But of course, the show IS named after her so... ya... you get the point.

Anyway, season 5's finale ended with both George and Izzie coding (will not explain the whole details on how they got to this stage... interested, go watch. I bet you'll be addicted! :P). According to greysanatomyinsider.com, half way through the ending of season 5, there were rumors of George (T.R. Knight) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) planning to leave the show. Reason was T.R. Knight complained that he was not getting enough air time (which was true as he did appear a lot lesser in season 5 - only 48 minutes for the first 9 episodes to be exact compared to 114 minutes for Sandra Oh's Christina character) and Katherine Heigl was targeting more Silver Screen acting after her good reviews form "The Knock Up" and "27 Dresses".

But this Shonda Rhimes lady is one brilliant writer. She saw this as a very good opportunity to make fans like me grip to the edge of our seats even more. Are they really leaving or are they not? Yes? No? Maybe? The best and most classic way to end a character - death. So this is where you get both Izzie and George in limbo for the closing. If you think that was torturing, ha! We then had to wait for another 4 months for the next season to air! 4 freaking months!

Because people like me just can't wait 4 freaking months, I'm thankful that we have the internet! greysanatomyinsider.com is where I get my juice news. So it looks like T.R. Knight is really leaving... what will Grey's be without sweet ol' George? Who's going to talk sense into Izzie? (Yes! In case one didn't die!) Izzie and George are best friends... It's sad... plus, I just found out that Ellen Pompeo (Meredith) is preggies and is taking break from shooting season 6. WTH?? Grey's with out Grey? How is this going to work? The spokes person for the drama series actually quoted "But (at least) we have Lexie Grey." Huh?? What? Lexie? Puh-leea-se!!

See! That's the thing! So full of drama.... like a love hate relationship I must say. I hate the fact that the original cast changing, but at the same time, I'm eager to know how will season 6 be like. No George and lesser Meredith... hmm...

Oh! I was also just thinking. Remember Burke (Isiah Washington)? Christina's fiancee who left her at the alter on their wedding day? Well, he left the show just after 2 seasons because of some conflict with T.R. Knight, so I wonder, will he then come back? Since T.R. is gone. No more conflict. I even thought of how he can fit in. He's back for Christina! Woohoo! Then now Christina will be in deep trouble. Just as things were getting on with Owen, BAM! Hello Burke! Besides, Seattle Grace is still missing a cardiac surgeon. Plus, Christina will be in so much dilemma without Meredith to give her advise! See How cool is that? I can be a script writer too... haha...

Oh well, no point with all my crap. We'll just have to wait for the season 6 premier on September 24. Can't wait! :)
