All I have to say is, oh my God.
If you have not seen this episode, I don't know what you are waiting for. I'll admit it, I was not the biggest fan of seasons 8 and 9 of Grey's Anatomy, but this winter finale is making me dread the next ten weeks before I can find out what happens next.
Obviously the part that had the most people on the edge of their seats and biting their nails, was the last scene. Not because Jesse Williams (Jackson Avery) is one of the most attractive people ever, but because the scene itself, and the way it was written, was so cute and sweet. I thought it was really well done by the writers and the director how they had Jackson stand up first for only a second, then doubt himself and sit back down. The audience could see the self-conflict he was facing. It created a moment for me, and I presume others, where my heart stopped and I half-wished that someone one day would love me enough to stop a wedding for me. Plus, no one could turn down a declaration of love from Jesse Williams. If it had been April, not Jackson, to be the one who shared her love, it would just seem like "typical April" who can't make up her mind and is just trying to find a way to "re-virginize" herself. Personally, I am pro-Japril or Apson or whatever everyone is calling them these days, and I hope they end up together.
Speaking of romantic gestures, Alex's impromptu, semi-proposal to Jo, I found to be a little out of character for him. He for so long has been the insensitive bad-ass afraid of commitment who has only dated "crazy chicks," that it just seemed unusual for him to lose his whole persona in this one instance. I agree that some of the best scenes of Alex Karev are when his honest and compassionate side is shown, however, this was too drastic, and sudden, a change. I do not want what happened to Dr. Bailey to happen to his character, for him to morph into a whole new person, losing what made him Alex Karev in the first place. Bailey is no longer "the Nazi" or someone to be feared, she has lost her edge. Frankly, I am bored with her story lines, especially the OCD issue and how she is upset with her husband for deciding to leave medical school. I am not proud of it, but I contemplated fast-forwarding through all of her scenes.
Everyone assumes by about the third season of a show that it will not be as interesting or well done, and by the tenth season, people would just assume it to be plain awful. It seems almost inevitable that Grey's Anatomy should have reached their peak by now, and maybe they have, but just because as of now I would say Bailey's storyline is not the best, or Callie and Arizona's, overall the show has held it together nicely. Clearly it has, because it is still holding the number one ranking of my favorite show on television. I'm going to have a very difficult time these next ten weeks waiting for the show to return, and of course, to hear April's decision.
