Grey’s Anatomy
Grey ’s Anatomyis in its fourteenth season and at this point , the operating surgeon at Grey Sloan feel like kinsfolk . If you ’ve watched the show from the rootage , you ’ve gotten a chance to see some of the lead graphic symbol ( those who ’ve void expiration , transference , or expiry ) grow from babe doctors to leading appendage of their champaign . You ’ve also seen them uprise from baby people to real go members of reasonably level-headed romantic relationships . And along the direction , they ’ve also become action at law star , come through any figure of natural and human disasters along the elbow room .
Grey’shas always been a brilliantly blown - out representation of the human experience , peppered with some of the most clever and twee talks on video . But that does n’t entail its without flaws .
While we adore the Shondaland flagship more than we loved McSteamy teaching his girl Spanish , no show is perfect . Grey ’s Anatomydoesn’t do anything pocket-size , so some of their misapprehension are as forte and glaring as an ambulance crashing into an emergency room – not that that means we ’ll stop catch anytime soon . We put together some of the mistakes we have to overlook to keep on roll in the hay this show .
Here are15 Things Wrong With Grey ’s Anatomy We All pick out To Ignore .
15. EVERYONE WOULD’VE BEEN FIRED OR BE IN JAIL BY NOW
Grey ’s Anatomyis a nighttime soap , so obviously they ’re going to take some dramatic license in an cause to both keep characters in high - stakes position , and also still able-bodied to practise medicine . However , it ’s startle to call for a somewhat jumbo suspension of disbelief to believe certain physician would still have their jobs .
Remember that metre Callie pull up stakes a sponge in a snowboarder who later got an contagion that be him both his legs ? Then there was that sentence Bailey performed an unauthorised procedure on a untested son because she thought she knew better than the parent . Oh ! And call up that time Izzie swerve Denny ’s LVAD wire to put him at the top of the transplant list and he got the nitty-gritty , causing Dr. Hahn ’s patient role to die ? And then Denny pass away anyway ? And lease ’s not forget about the cabal of interne who work on themselves !
14. THE TIMELINE
The cock-a-hoop pause of disbeliefGrey’sdemands of its audience regard its timeline . If you ’ve negociate to conserve ignorance about operative internships , maybe do n’t read any further . What you ’re about to learn will confuse and upset you .
The first three time of year ofGrey ’s Anatomytake place during the doctors ' one class operative internship . 12 month . That means Meredith catch some Z’s with Derek , pick up about Addison , wear out up with Derek , sleeps with George , sleeps with Derek again , and cuts Christina out of her wedding dress in . One . Year . Also , George marries Callie , log Z’s with Izzie , divorces Callie and joins the army in . One . Year . Izzie Stevens hates Alex , dates Alex , falls for Denny , dates Alex again , fall for Denny again and cuts his LVAD .
All in just one exclusive year .
We wish we could explicate it off beyond dramatic logistics , but frankly , the only resolution is just not to think about it too hard .
13. DEREK SHEPHERD WAS ALWAYS KIND OF JERK
WhenGrey ’s Anatomypremiered in 2005 , Derek " McDreamy " Shepherd soared into our spirit and judgement with his gorgeous blue eye , fabled hair’s-breadth and adorable fixation with ferryboats . His love affair with Meredith Grey remained a cornerstone of the show for the first one-half of its run , but if you take a faithful look at the character , you ’ll recognize he does n’t deserve any of this .
There ’s the obvious , " I like this subordinate and I ’m sad , so I ’m just going to block to assure her about my man and wife . " Then there ’s , " My wife slept with my best friend , so I ’m just going to move to Seattle and give her the silent treatment instead of actually end our marriage like and adult . " Oh , and the classic , " My married woman messed with my Alzheimer ’s study , but instead of being empathetic to her history with the disease , I ’m run to shut her out emotionally until I feel better . "
12. SEATTLE GREY SLOAN WEST MEMORIAL IS A DEATH TRAP
When a long - running show swear on high - stakes drama as much asGrey ’s Anatomydoes , thing can start to get utmost – especially when it comes to any very particular episodes . Each " Major Television Event " must top the one before it in ordering to maximize narration impact , and after 14 season , thing have catch ridiculous . We ’re wondering why any of these people are still ferment at the infirmary or even living in Seattle .
There was the caravan crash , the ferry crash , the plane clangour , the ambulance crash , the bomb , the shooting , the swallow hole , and the super storm , which included a busbar crash , a world power outage , two electrocution , and Meredith ’s parking brake C - section .
The latest in the Series of Unfortunate Events that is lifespan at Grey Sloan ? Hackers break into the hospital processor and maintain the computers for ransom . Everyone who ’s stayed work there for longer than five days has a death indirect request .
11. MEREDITH WAS NEVER REALLY A DIRTY MISTRESS
Meredith spiraled down the drainpipe after get wind Derek was married , partly because she genuinely matte up guilty for sleeping with someone else ’s married man . She invariably relate to herself as a mistress , and when Mark Sloan showed up , they go so far as to form the " Dirty Mistresses Club . " The thing is , Meredith was n’t really send adultery because she thought she was sleeping with a single man the entire time .
It was believable that Meredith would feel brokenhearted and betrayed when she learned of Derek ’s marriage , but the guilt trip she carry along with it never made any sensory faculty . It made her seem histrionic and self - pore to joke - wail fracture up a marriage when , in period of fact , the marriage offend up long before she entered the impression .
10. AMELIA AND OWEN’S MARRIAGE MADE NO SENSE
In the season 12 finale , Amelia Shepherd and Owen Hunt impetuously decide to get married after deciding life is too inadequate to waste time take a relationship tardily . That might ’ve made sense for a couple that had at least plant the ability to pass a workweek together without breaking up .
Amelia and Owen discovered a partake attraction after bonding over their past trauma .
From then on , the " relationship " was a series of false start after Derek ’s expiry , Amelia ’s lapsing , and her eventual realization that she require to cultivate on herself before entering into a relationship . Then seven episodes later they get married .
Amelia and Owen were n’t a functioning couple long enough for anyone to believe in their romance enough for this wedding to make gumption . surprisal , surprise , they scarce even move in together before they end up split up . Here ’s hoping it stays that way .
9. BAILEY’S DISAPPEARING OCD
After three of her affected role get fatal post - op infections within workweek of one another , Dr. Bailey is taken out of the operative rotation until the cause of the infections can be found . While finally the perpetrator is discovered to be wrong surgical gloves , Bailey is so agitate that she develops obsessive compulsive disorderliness that threaten to prevent her from operate ordinarily in the time to come . She ’s forced to deal with it after Owen Hunt face her and he and Derek assert she essay psychiatric helper .
It takes some coercing , but eventually Bailey faces her illness , agree to medication and gets back to work . Which would be fine if it had n’t happened over the track of three installment . Obsessive driven disorder can be plow and handle with medicinal drug , but Bailey ’s popped up for what seemed like a few weeks and then vanish , never to be heard from again , the hour she got on medicament .
8. AMELIA SHEPHERD’S DEUS EX MACHINA TUMOR
This time of year , Amelia Shepherd was diagnosed with a massive psyche tumor that ’s apparently been originate for quite some prison term . The discovery came after a season of specially erratic behavior from an already volatile character . After marrying Owen at the end of season 12 , Amelia spend most of season 13 treating him like trash and becoming another wife who would n’t have a baby with him after previously having been very enthusiastic about starting a family .
Amelia kept labor Owen out inexplicably until finally their marriage fell aside , but her sudden , intensified unpredictability matt-up like an arbitrary storyline given to a character who ’d run out of material to do . But instead of writing the character off the show , Grey’sgave her a brain tumor that conveniently retcons the retiring several years of her personality as neoplasm - based and not reality - based .
It ’s very , very contrived , but hopefully Amelia will come out of it less pesky .
7. RICHARD WEBBER’S ONE TRUE LOVE(S)
Grey Sloan’sresident forefather figure is a hopeless romantic . He married his first married woman on Valentine ’s Day , he showed moony - eyed disappointment when his 2d married woman would n’t permit him purport to her , and sweetly handle for his former love , Ellis Grey , after she was stricken with Alzheimer ’s .
At one peak or another , all of these women have been " the love of his life . "
First it was Ellis , his star - frustrate operative soulmate . Then , after Ellis died and Adele developed the same disease , he seemed to recollect that she was his terminal - all , be - all . ultimately , his current married woman , Catherine Avery , seems to be the one he ’s been waiting for his whole living .
While we ’re certainly not question the musical theme of having more than one lovemaking in the span of a lifetime , Richard Webber seems to treat every woman he ’s with as though he ’s never loved anyone else .
6. APRIL AND JACKSON WERE NEVER REALLY BEST FRIENDS
April Kepner and Jackson Avery defend one of the more tumultuous supercouples onGrey ’s . After a fraught courtship that fundamentally involve a lot of casual hookup , followed by a band aid marriage , the two flow aside after the loss of their baby Word . legion time during the line of their relationship , Jackson claimed that the two were good supporter and that ’s why they ’d had such a connection .
The matter is , Jackson and April were n’t really besties . They were certainly friends and share affection for each other after their transfer to Seattle Grace from Mercy West , but George and Izzie , they were not . The two shared almost no plot line that were unique to them until they started sleeping together , making the idea of them being BFFs something the show slapped on to justify their romance . Frankly , April was probably better friends with the guy she ditched at the Lord’s table .
5. ARIZONA WAS TOO ABUSIVE TO CALLIE AFTER THE CRASH
The trauma of the plane crash combined with the injury of losing her leg put Arizona Robbins in a thick depression , and since she blamed Callie for the loss of her ramification , she took out her anger on her partner . All of that ’s apprehensible , but the sheer degree of venom Arizona unleash on her partner was so extreme it stopped making common sense after a while .
Arizona verbally abused Callie on a regular basis , screaming at her at domicile and in front of hospital staff . Her genial state made sentiency , given what she ’d been through , but the show never convinced us that Arizona would ’ve been so far blend that she ’d defy to see that Callie made the amputation call to save Arizona ’s life . The pediatric surgeon regressed to a cruddy toddler - alike state , and we just did n’t buy it .
4. CHRISTINA SHOULD’VE REAPPEARED BY NOW
Sandra Oh leftGrey ’s Anatomyat the end of time of year 10 , and as far we hump , neither the character nor the actress has attend back . But Christina Yang is n’t on Mars , she ’s in Switzerland , and there have been several major event that should ’ve at the very least warranted a phone call , or at the very least a reference of one .
We refuse to conceive that Meredith would n’t have told Christina her whereabouts in the yr after Derek ’s end , or that Christina would n’t have come to Derek ’s funeral . We understand the logistical problems with bringing back Sandra Oh , and it fix sense that even if she were available , that Oh would n’t require to slip tending from the current form members . But Christina Yang go from being aGrey’slynchpin to essentially ceasing to exist . Throw us another text transcript , Grey ’s !
3. MAGGIE WAS A SOAP OPERATIC ADDITION
Kelly McCreary ’s Maggie Pierce is a an adorable formal of anxiety and a welcome accession to the cast . However , the circumstance of her arrival elevate more than a few brow . While it ’s not the most ridiculous retcon , the estimation that Ellis Grey and Richard Webber had a lovechild that grow up to become a genius cardiothoracic sawbones who also handle to find a occupation at Grey Sloan is something that would feel more at home onScandalor , frankly , General HospitalthanGrey ’s Anatomy .
That said , it is a credit to Shonda Rimes that Maggie ’s character is now such an organic member of the dramatis personae . Her family relationship with Meredith and Richard do n’t feel lenient , and we ’d be lie in if we said that it did n’t make us smile to think that Richard finally gravel to be a pop .
2. APRIL WAS WEIRDLY HORRIBLE TO JACKSON AFTER THEIR SON’S DEATH
After the destruction of their Word , Samuel , April and Jackson went through an acute grieving process that would finally terminate their marriage ceremony . April was so devastated that she really leave Seattle for a class to work as a field surgeon in Jordan . Then , after she came back and attend how much pain Jackson was in , she left again , despite the fact that he said it would be the oddment of their kinship if she did .
We ’re not disputing that horrific tragedy can bring out uncharacteristic sides of people , but April ’s refusal to even acknowledge that Jackson might call for her with him was improbably selfish . For someone as kindhearted and bonk as April , her blind pip regarding Jackson ’s feelings did n’t finger in line with her eccentric . Honestly , we would ’ve been behind most of her behavior if she ’d testify any sense of awareness of her married man ’s feeling .
1. ALL THE INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONS
Yes , Grey’sis a romance and not a aesculapian documentary , but the sheer amount of incompatible fuck that gets had on this show is laughable . Subordinates regularly catch some Z’s with their superiors with zero professional ramifications until time of year 10 . That ’s veracious , ten year after Derek ShepherdandPreston Burke each kip with their interns , resident Leah Murphy filed an anonymous harassment call and then Owen Hunt thought perhaps they should institute an anti - fraternization regularisation . You mean ?
Then there ’s just the absurd logistics surrounding the amount of privacy Dr. cope to get in club to have all the out or keeping lovin' . We ca n’t recall the last time we saw someone sleep in an on - call room without getting interrupt by or for a crotchet - up . And why , after 13 seasons , are their still people who a ) do not remember to operate the door and b ) are there still people who enter without knock ?
