Gray Grey’s

i have watched grey’s anatomy from the beginning. i have seen every episode of every season and haven’t been this disappointed yet. For 3 seasons viewers have been waiting for McDreamy and Meredith to be happy and together. why, after only a few episodes of them being together, are they already trying to pull them apart again? this is the thing about television writers that i don’t like. they love to mess with the lives of our favorite characters. mcdreamy and meredith deserve one season of non-threatening relationship drama. take christina and burke for example, for almost the entire show these two have been together. we have watched them overcome obstacles and fall madly in love with one another. yes they have their drama but i don’t think i’ve watched one episode of grey’s and actually feared that christina and burke might brake up. you just sort of know that they will work out whatever problem they have in the end and surprise surprise they always do. but meredith and derek can’t ever get that kind of a break. i understand the whole dramatic effect that television needs but why not mess with burke and christina? why not give them something worry about instead of meredith and derek all the time. it just gets to the point where it’s not dramatic anymore between them it’s just old. i think it would better serve the writers to focus on christina and burke or even focus more on the addison/alex/mcsteamy love triangle (that only lasted like 2 episodes - there was such a build up of addison and alex and with in like 3 minutes they did it and alex was an ass and that was that). I just don’t like what the writers are choosing to focus on. The battle for chief is a great idea but why put derek and meredith’s relationship in the middle of that. i know it creates conflict but derek is the romance guy. he’s the one that does the right thing, that treats meredith right and takes care of her and suddenly he’s throwing away everything he’s done to get her back in order to be chief? the mcdreamy that i know would never do that, it just simply wouldn’t matter. if it came down to chief or meredith derek would chose the girl - mark would chose chief, even burke, but not derek. it’s just not in his character to do that. so why are the writers doing this to him?
after asking myself these questions over and over again i decided that maybe i was missing something. something from one of the previous seasons that i just didn’t remember. maybe derek was extremely work oriented like burke and i just forgot because i wanted him to be with meredith so badly. so i went back and re-watched the second season. i was right. derek is not the man the writers are making him out to be. yes his work is important to him but they’ve always made it seem more enjoyable for him instead of a job. his relationships were what he put most of his energy into - addison, mark, meredith, etc. but now suddenly he’s all about the job and burke is all about wedding cakes. i dont understand why the writers are messing with the dynamics of the characters but they shouldn’t. they need to let the characters be what they are and create drama somewhere other than meredith and mcdreamy. people are starting to get tired of meredith and mcdreamy and if the show is going to be successful for a long period of time then they have to focus more on the other characters in the cast.
I also have a problem with the izzy george relationship but that would need to be a whole other blog in itself.
I fear the worst for Grey’s. Please don’t ruin a good thing!
