Same here, I used to love it but got mad ans stopped watching it after every character was killed or dead somehow ...they lost the magic without Derek, George, Izzie, Mark, Christina and even Lexie. Done, they started to make room for non important characters and the story began to ...fade? Whatever, I got bored and that was it for me...I do watch random episodes when there's nothing on the TV and nothing to do Yeah, especially after Mark died... He was my favorite, if I'd have to pick a favorite among those characters. But it's so weird, because every TV series I watch, I like the characters and then I have my faves of course, and then there are these few, maybe one or two, that I just dislike. But with Grey's Anatomy, it's more like I dislike all of them, but I have a few, like two, that I kinda like. But even tho they are up in, what 12 seasons? I still haven't gotten to like the characters. I think they're mean to each other, I think they make the weirdest decisions ever. I wouldn't wanna go to a hospital like that. And I don't know why they made Miranda Bailey chief, she's the most horrible chief ever, and she is so corny it's cringeworthy! And she's horrible to her husband. She has a hot husband, but she acts all schizophrenic around him, being an asshole to him. I just hope he'd leave her. And April Kepner, I can't even... I just wish she'd leave that poor Avery cutie alone and leave the show. Ugh. My friend told me Grey's Anatomy is out to beat ER's record of being the longest running primetime medical drama, with 15 seasons. So if that's true, it could explain what Gery's is doing. They don't have a good show anymore, because they're just making episode after episode to get up to over 15 seasons, so they don't care about the actual story. So then as a huge huge ER fan, I'd have to dislike Gery's even more, lol. Not that I think it would count to just have the most seasons, you'd have to have some quality seasons too, and not just quantity. ER changed cast like 3-4 times during those 15 years. Grey's still has pretty much the same characters, so they can't really evolve and get new stories, like you could do with brand new characters. Well it's called Grey's Anatomy, so I guess they can't really get rid of Grey form there, lol. Not that I like her either, I think she's so mean, cold and insensitive. I agree, but I do see they changed almost every character becuase everyone´s dead or "gone to another city". I do agree about the quantity and qualitu tho, why keep on doing so many meaningless episodes with no interesting story behind just to get at 15 seasons when they loose the audience? I know they lost me...and you...and so many others that got tired of the same all same all  They shouldn´t get rid of any principal character like Derek, they started getting under my skin when they killed George, I still can´t get over it, I used to get up until 2 am to watch the new episode of Prison Break and then Grey´s, that day I was all excited and my friend got another TV company so she saw it like an hour earlier, called me and told me George was dead and that was it, that was the beginning of the killing the good ones and after the plain crashed episode when Mark and Lexie died it was the end for me, I just didn´t want to keep on watching so everyone else would keep on dying...after a few years I tried to start watching it again and the story was so...meh...plus I couldn´t stand April being around Jackson, she´s so annoying! so anyways, that´s why I don´t watch it anymore...maybe one day after watching all the series I want to caught up with (like the 2 last seasons of Pretty Little Liars, Sons of Anarchy, Girls, Epitafios, The Walking Dead) I´ll seat and give Grey´s another chance....or maybe not  |

But I meant that in ER they get new students that you get to know slowly, and they are taught by the old characters, and then they evolve and become doctors, and then the old characters disappear one after one. Then there's the same old ER but new character and new stories, so it never feels like the show gets stuck in one place, like I kinda feel Grey's has done many times. Like Grey "needed" a sister, so they "made one up", a biological sister from her dad's side. Then they killed her off once you got to like her. Well then Grey still "needed" that sister, so they "made one up", a biological sister from her mom's side that her mom secretly had. I mean, come on, what? And another thing that I think contributes to Grey's being a disappointment for me, is that pretty much 95% of what happens in Grey's has already happened in ER like 10 years earlier. And I'm telling you it's the EXACT same story, like Grey's just copied it off ER. So there's no excitement for me watching that episode, because I know exactly what's gonna happen and how it's gonna happen, and how they're gonna "save the day". I mean Grey's get a patient, and they have this and that symptom, and I tell the doctors as soon as I see this patient that "ok, she'll have this disease. you're gonna think she has another disease at first, but then she'll get worse when you treat her, and then you'll figure it out, and then you'll treat her like this, and then she'll survive, unless you mess up so that she'll die. Because that's what happened in ER." Then everything happens exactly like I said it would, but it takes the doctors 45 minutes to figure it out, instead of listening to me and get the episode over with in 5 minutes  As an example, two little 8 year old boys , who were best friends, came into Grey's ER, and one of them was shot. I said as soon as I saw the boys that they've probably played with a gun at home and one boy accidentally shot the other. You think the docs listened to me? No, they called the cops, who were looking for some "bad guy" for 30 minutes, until one boy finally admitted that they found his mom's gun in the bedroom closet, and played with it. The mom said it was for protection. The boy survived. The only difference from the ER episode, 10 years earlier, was that the boys were brothers and their dad was a cop, and that's why he had a gun. I mean it's so frustrating. So al these big frightening happenings, like an ambulance explosion or whatever accidents, they have already happened in ER... Another thing with the show is their credibility. ER focuses a lot on real life problems, what hospitals have to go through every day, and how they fight to stay open, and how they don't have money for so many things. They bring up a lot of real issues, about the healthcare system, about insurance, about qualifying for medicaid, about how much donations from medical companies mean. They take up issues on how understaffed hospitals are, and how it takes between 8 to 18 hours for patients to see a doctor, how lots of patients leave without being seen, how the doctors and nurses struggle to have time to juggle 8-12 patients at the same time, how they feel they only have a couple of minutes with the patients etc etc... While Grey's has the finest technology, the best surgeons in the world, and if there are 10 doctors working in the hospital all these 10 doctors treat this one patient throughout the entire episode. Like they are never in any hurry. The whole hospital has like 3 patients or whatever. I guess these 3 people are the millionaires who can afford to go to this hospital, while ER takes care of the others Ok, I guess I'll stop venting my spleen about Grey's for today, lol! |

Yeah, you´re right, Grey´s doesn´t have any excitment in the episodes, they do the same exact thing over and over, I have watched ER just a couple of times but I did see the resmblance as Grey´s copied it. I don´t know if you remember another one, with the main character was that red head was Derek wife and had a clinic too, that was the same thing tho after 1 episode I didn´t continued

Yeah, I remember Derek's wife, Addison. She moved to the show Private Practice. I did watch it at first and thought it was ok, although not THAT special or different. But then I thought they overdid it a bit, or tried too hard. Idk I lost interest in that one too. I did watch a few seasons tho. |

 To take my mind off this incredibly stressful election, I'm off to see Doctor Strange, though I can't imagine it being stranger than today! A friend in Ashville, NC sent me the photo of her Catholic Kitchen "Election Shrine." If you live in North Carolina, with their politics, you need to be doing Voudou with real body parts. Dead saints ain't gonna cut it! ![]() |

On a lighter note, other than our election results, the recreational use of Marijuana was legalized throughout the entire state of Cali and "Doctor Strange" mentioned EM in the movie. I can't decide whether I need to go back to bed, or open a bottle! LOL!

Saw the new Amy Adams movie "Arrival." Like a mediocre David Lynch movie. Well, that's what it morphed into...It ended up being a rift on "Mulholland Drive."

I love a good science fiction movie!! I highly recommend the collection of short stories "Stories of Your Life and Others" by Ted Chiang. The movie is based on the title story "The Story of Your Life". All of the stories in this collection are really good. So the short story yes, movie no. Too bad. |

Been movie binging and every trailer has an EM song in it. Don't know if the song is in the soundtrack, but it's in the trailer. And I'm talking the most diversified of genre movies. EM may be locked in his studio, but Paul's licensing his songs, or verses of them, big time!

Just watched the HBO doc "Bright Lights: Starring Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher." Bittersweet and touching. Never new Debbie lived in Carrie's compound. They were incredibly close and it doesn't surprise me that Debbie died of a broken heart after Carrie's passing. BTW, Carrie's house is an electrician's wet dream...The way it's decorated is a throwback to lava lamps!

Watched the movie Hidden during the holidays and definitely recommend!! It's really good! It's a thriller/horror with Alexander Skarsgård and that's all I'm gonna say, don't read anything about it, just watch it   |
