Dear Shonda Rhimes,
i love you, you know i do. you had me at the very first sight of mcdreamy. you had me through the Meredith and Derek good times. and the bad. you had me through the Cristina and Burke good times. and the bad. you had me when you turned Coach Taylor into pink mist. you taught me that Addison is a total rock star. you had me with all your ‘seriously’s. you had me at Callie O’Malley.
i loved you so much that i stood by you through the rough patches. i forgave you for George’s hair (anyone remember George’s hair!) i forgave you for the Meredith/George romp. i forgave you for the travesty that was Denny and Izzy. I forgave you for dragging out the horrible 8.7 million dollar storyline. and i even forgave you for your latest blip – the whole Meredith dies and comes back to life bit.
but last night you went to a dark, dark place. this was a new low. George and Izzy? Are you kidding me?
this, my dear Shona, may be unforgiveable. you crossed a real line here. and…to add a little salt to my wounds, Bailey was on screen for all of, maybe, a minute and a half last night. please, please, please…for all that is sacred in Shondaland…stop with all the Seattle Grace inter-staff sexytime. (did i really just say that?). you are going to run out of people for these interns to hop in the sack with.
on a good note, i enjoyed the premiere of October Road last night. sure, it was campy and predictable and cheesy and schmaltzy. it was Beautiful Girls meets Dawson’s Creek meets One Tree Hill meets Sweet Home Alabama. it had a great soundtrack. and it had my.jake.from.one.tree.hill! yay. it will likely get cancelled, but i’ll enjoy the cheese while it lasts.
love, Ali
