Well, that's interesting.

I had a Grey's Anatomy epiphany over my coffee this morning. I don't actually tend to drink coffee though, which should prolly tell you all you need to know.

It just occured to me that the way people most feel about Meredith from Grey's Anatomy (i.e. aggravated, annoyed, ready to choke a bitch) is the way I feel about Izzie from the same show. I don't hate her per se, I just don't like her. At all. Except for rarely -- whenever that rare occasion occurs.

Everybody needs to just to bow down before Bailey, really -- but that's kind of a given.


Now on to important things: I wrote SGA, BSG (twice!) and HP/O11 last week. What do I focus on now? Got some pretty pictures to bribe me with? Music? Crack? I'm always good for crack. Speaking of crack also, I can't imagine that there's anybody reading this who hasn't already found their way to seperis's SGA-does-Oz WIP, Crimes Against Humanity, but if you're not, WHY NOT? Guns! Assassins! Blowing shit up! Prison riots! *sighs happily*

No! But... Izzie... and Denny... dislike... impossible...

How can you dislike Iz?

And, side note, I was trying to explain why I watch a show where I dislike the main character so much and a friend translated my inarticulate raving into, "So, it's like Buffy, then? Hate the title character love the friends and enemies?"

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That's interesting, because hey, there was a reply there. I dunno where it went. More importantly I don't remember quite what I said, but I feel fairly certain that it was a rousing WORD in regards to Buffy -- who I should point out I did like until season three when Faith came along and Buffy tried to go all holier-than-thou. Yeah, I never forgave her for that one.

Izzie annoys me on an intrinsic, I-am-right-and-everyone-should-listen-to-me-while-I-tell-them-how-to-live-their-lives-even-though-I-can't-run-my- own type way.

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

I guess my thing with Izzie is that, yeah, she's kind of lacking in the whole being able to run her own life and being a little bit of a meddler, but I've had friends who secretly knit me sweaters. I've been the secret knit sweater friend.

And, wow, that metaphor was horrible. Alas.

Oh, I know, the s3 Buff was about when I started watching regularly versus dabbling, so it was really hard for me to rewatch and like her in 1 and 2 when 1 had bitchy Cordy and 2 had Dru and Spike.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

just keep in mind, Z IS Christina. Does it all become clear?

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

Ah, now it does. The world suddenly makes much more sense.

Would that make you Burke? You're Burke! *points*

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

lol I'm not nearly that cool or calm, more like Bailey minus the baby

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Would that make you Burke? You're Burke! *points*

She is Burke only in that everyone is really impressed with her skills. And she is too. Personally, I see her more as McSteamy. Ethically unsound, but killing people with the hotness everywhere she goes. It's disgusting -- but you know, who is going to kick McSteamy out of their bed?

Why is there no McSteamy/McDreamy either? I am so requesting that for next yuletide

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Dude, Bailey made me cry last night.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Bailey rocks.

[danielleleigh.livejournal.com]

wow. I feel exactly the same way as you. When I went to watch season 1 again on DVD I loved everyone pretty much except Izzie who drove me nuts. I think it might be a personality thing, who knows.

I agree whole-heartedly about it probably being a personality thing, at least it is for me.

[fivil.livejournal.com]

Oh, I must catch up with GA. The last episode I saw was like from a month ago or so.

But I've been meaning to ask you, how do you feel about the whole Meredith/George thing? Oh, and don't worry about spoilers for episodes I haven't seen, I'm not spoilerphobic at ALL when it comes to Grey's Anatomy.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The whole Meredith/George thing made me sick to my stomach. She used him -- but he knew that she was going to use him anyway and HE LET HER do it. That's just -- that's diminished the George love for me a lot, because even if someone else doesn't respect you, shouldn't you respect yourself? The fact the she cried during the act and it was horrible -- well, that's just proof of three things a) there is so such a thing as bad sex b) bad sex is never just kind of bad. It tend to be majorly bad. (There's SO a story in there) and c) which prolly should've been 'a' they both knew that having sex was a bad idea and they did it anyway. What did they think was gonna result? Babies and flowers?

[fivil.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean.. It made me enjoy the show a lot less, to be honest. I'm pretty open to all sort of George ships but the way it happened, god, just so wrong on so many levels. I felt awful for George and yet his actions frustrated me for the reasons you mentioned.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

It's weird to like nearly all the characters in a real way, where they feel like human beings.

I don't watch actual television that's about real life. It's weird to do that. I dunno. When Denny dies I will probably stop watching.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Uh, that was fucking weird, I was trying to reply to your earlier comment, but the post didn't include my reply and then when I tried to delete that it deleted *your* comment. WTF El Jay?

Anyway, it can't be an sort of surprise that I don't like Izzie, I mean really.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

no, it's not in any way a surprise, she's too blonde and pretty for you to like her, however, I *AM* surprised that you don't hate Meredith. She seems like a very normal target of rage for you. People never stop surprising me!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

no, it's not in any way a surprise, she's too blonde and pretty for you to like her,

I like Kara! She's blonde! But she's not pretty, she's hot, so. And capable. I like capable -- big shocker there. I don't like the meddler thing. As for Meredith there are things she does that make me crazy, see comment above about the Meredith/George fiasco, but you know at least she's trying to hit bottom. At least she's not out there telling other people how to run their shit. I have no truck with the married man thing though, that makes me see red.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

1. I have no ethics when it comes to that sort of thing (re: married men and so on) because I am a radical social anarchist, as you well know *insert my laughing at myself that this is actually not even a JOKE*

2. Kara is NOT pretty at all. She's sort of weird looking, really.

3. the use of the word meddler makes your position quite clear.

Z: I am the boss of me!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

How can you say Kara's not pretty? That's like, well, okay, strictly from a semantics POV (people always want to ignore semantics), I suppose I could agree. I certainly think she's incredibly attractive, but pretty and attractive are't the same thing. You can be smokingly hot and not be pretty. Kara has character though, and I prize that over being pretty any day.

I vote Ari! *cough*

Or Chief! Or Helo!

Re: shameless

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhhhh. Look at the pretty.

[rozza.livejournal.com]

The only females I like are Cristina and Bailey. Oh and Callie, but she's not a regular so she doesn't count. This show, to me, is the "Bailey, George (although not so much, lately, cos he's acting or was acting like Meredith), Cristina, Burke, sometimes Alex, and McDreamy ONLY because Loverboy was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid" show. Meredith and Izzie? They're too Ally McBeal for me. Like, no. I don't really have any feelings for Addison cos that would imply I actually gave a shit about the whole WWDC (Who Will Derek Choose?) thing.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I will only care about WWDC if they put McSteamy in that potential choice category.

[rozza.livejournal.com]

Oh I'd be all over that. I'm having some kind of slash resurgence--suddenly, I just really really love it again. And you know, he's coming back next season for what, 13 episodes minimum? Hunts for fics.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Stop lying. For real?!

[torchthisnow.livejournal.com]

Hey, my favorite GA woman (aside from Bailey, natch) is Addison, so I'm all about the unpopular GA opinions. I don't give a good fuck about McDreamy's! Agonizing! Choice! He made his choice, now everybody should get the fuck on with their life.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I don't give a good fuck about McDreamy's! Agonizing! Choice! He made his choice, now everybody should get the fuck on with their life.

*That* I agree with. I like Addison. She rocks.

[dirty-diana.livejournal.com]

I don't dislike Izzie, but I think that may be more because I find KH hot and less because her character is not frustrating. Plus I'm rooting for Alex the way I always root for the sulky underdog, which makes it harder to like her also.

But yeah. Bailey rocks.
