Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Station 19

But mostly Amelia Shepherd

[greys-anatomypp]

I like how Amelia and Maggie both live in Meredith’s house like they aren’t attending surgeons who definitely make 6 figures and can definitely afford their own apartment like normal adults

[bigxrepvtation]

So, I've never understood very well. In private practice there are Amelia and James, happily together. Then Amelia appears on Greys. Alone. Was she escaped from her marriage with him? Bc I'm not sure to remember...

[greys-anatomypp]

They were engaged when Amelia joins Grey’s but she calls off the engagement.

“Amelia takes out her personal problems on her colleagues”

I swear to god if they bring more drama to Amelia and Kai when we haven’t even gotten anything with them since their last drama…

[greys-anatomypp]

this is giving private practice intervention episode vibes… I’m genuinely scared

[kaysav608]

Um I feel like Theo is the absolute WORST person to be captain he’s almost out of control! What’s yalls opinion on this??

[karmaisgreys]

Does that count as a musical episode

[karmaisgreys]

Straight from that greys episode to my Private Practice rewatch

[greys-anatomypp]

I feel like a lot of the hospital management drama would be resolved with they just had a deputy chief of surgery. Like it would help the workload of the job and the morale of the Chief if they had a VP to fill in for them and then also make the line of succession way more obvious…

If they’re kinda trying to recreate MAGIC with the new residents, which one is gonna die first?

[greys-anatomypp]

If each one of MAGIC got their own set of interns, who were Callie’s interns?

[greys-anatomypp]

something that makes no sense is Burke and Cristina scheduling their wedding for the day after the intern exam. Like why would either of them ever think that’s a good idea? I cannot fathom Cristina being okay with that… and I think Burke would have been reasonable enough to not think that’s a good idea either??

Like it just seems like so unnecessarily stressful for no reason? Like why couldn’t it have been a week later? Or a month? For what reason at all would they have to schedule right after a massive exam that’s so important to her career? Like having to deal with wedding planning while studying?

[greys-anatomypp]

Remember when Charlotte goes “Violet hates babies” while testifying on Violet’s behalf for her to get custody of Lucas?

LMFAO

[h3llofaday]

I got so much respect for Amelia and Christina bc if my husband let his weird army friend who’s obviously in love with him scream at me for being a “horrible wife” bc I have a job and priorities that aren’t him I woulda killed someone

[misguided-ghostz]

Are we not going to talk about that Schmidt basically killed Tessa by being dismissive of the interns who already knew the patient and knew she needed surgery right away.

[greys-anatomypp]

did anyone else realize Dixon from Station 19 is the dad of the Quints in Season 2 of Greys??

I know there are so many duplicate castings but for some reason this one in particular feels so bizarre to me. Guess it’s a testament to his acting ability.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE

———————————————————

I know people are saying the Meredith’s send off epsiode was bad. But I really liked it. I know a big part of the disappointment was that there weren’t any nostalgic flashbacks. But I thought it was nostalgic, just in a more subtle way than maybe we were expecting.

When Mika’s house van gets towed, it reminded me of when Alex was living in Derek’s Trailer in the parking lot and it got towed.

When Simone closed up Tessa, it was like Izzie closing the organ donor in Season 1.

interns competing for a surgery is a motif that’s happened countless times.

Helm teaching Mika in the bar reminded me of when Cristina was bartending and when Callie and Meredith came up with the pickle idea.

Amelia calling Lucas Shep? Derek’s nickname around the hospital was Shep ! (the episode where the anesthesiologist was drinking on the job)

And Meredith’s speech to Nick was a really great call back to the original pick me, choose me, love me speech, but updated to the character that Meredith’s become.

The interns moving into the house together? If that’s not classic Grey’s, then what is?

And Meredith reading the book/ ending monologue of the episode — it completely reminded me of “He is not the sun, You are”

importantly, she’s making this move to Boston for her child. A huge component of Meredith’s motivations throughout the entirety of the show has been to separate herself from her mother, both professionally and personally. And by moving for Zola’s health and happiness, She’s choosing her children in a way her mother never would have. And I don’t think it’s a simple coincidence that it’s Boston she’s moving to in order to be the mother she had, when Boston is where they moved when Ellis was pregnant with Maggie and literally did not choose her child.

Would I have liked a few more explicitly nostalgic scenes? OF COURSE!

Sure, the episode felt… normal and I think we all wanted it to have a little more oomph. But I think it made sense that the episode wasn’t just a compilation of flashbacks. Because Meredith’s not DYING, she’s just moving on. Life goes on. The carousel never stops turning.

[greys-anatomypp]

rewatching the pilot and Lucas Adams is literally George O’Malley incarnate.

I actually feel a little better knowing that the worst Grey’s Anatomy episode (that Alex episode…you know the one) was written by a lady who was a chronic liar. Watching it I knew she was crazy. Now it’s just being validated
