Shut Up Meredith Grey

Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy premiered last night.  Overall I think there is potential for a good season, but still much of the episode made me think "ehh."  After last season's shit train of episodes however, the show can only go up.

The Bad:

1. Meredith shut up already.  I wish the icicle would have punctured Meredith's vocal chords instead of Cristina's stomach.  I know Meredith is all dark and twisty.  We get it.  Be with Derek, stop questioning everything, and shut the fuck up!

2. Stop making Karev such a douchebag.  It is the same old story.  He opens up to Izzie; she likes that about him, and then he flips out and reverts to his douchebag self.  Enough already, let Alex and Izzie be together.

3.  The Chief -- so annoying last night.  Sure I understand the rankings are important but stop acting so ridiculous.  

4. Callie, WTF -- no need to go crazy during the experimental surgery  I know the point of that was so Hahn could come to the rescue.  But please, a little more composure.  

The Good:

1. Lexie!  Absolutely love her.  She is my favorite character.  She delivers lines the way the other characters did in the first two seasons.  She is refreshing, funny, and a character that I root for 100%.  How funny was she reading the love letter to betrayed wife Sarabeth.  Haha:)

2. Army doc who performs a tracheostomy with a pen.  Fucking awesome.  What a BAMF!  I'm also loving the chemistry between him and Cristina.  I hope he returns to Seattle Grace soon.  

3. Cristina, still gotta love her.  Her interns are so stupid and she lets them know it all the time.  She's hilarious.  But seriously, next time you see an icicle coming at you, trying moving out of the way.  Just a thought.

Grey's still work to do if it wants to regain my confidence as a viewer.  The show lost its mojo last season, and I think it's trying too hard.  The writing seems forced.  I hope Grey's gets in the groove pretty soon though and stops going all ER (extremely ridiculous) on us.
