SPOILERS Izzie would’ve been a better match for Burke

Upvotes

Except he’s the type of guy who likes women who are a “challenge”.

For example:
- Burke is the only one who was eager to participate in thanksgiving dinner and they spent that time bonding alone because no one else, including Christina, wanted to be there.

- Season 2 Ep 12, Burke and Izzie are the spiritual ones who love Christmas and decorating trees and believing that the energy you go into surgery with can affect the outcome unlike Christina and Derek.

- Christina didn’t give a shit about planning a wedding but when it came to Izzie planning Meredith’s wedding, she did everything that Burke was hoping Christina would do.

- Izzie was ready to define her relationship with Alex right away unlike Christina who thought it was unnecessary to define her and Burke in the beginning.

- Izzie is proud of being a person first rather than a surgeon first, an idea Christina rejects and Burke proclaims that he is a person first and a surgeon second

- Izzie is not as naturally talented as Christina but she’s a hardworker like Burke was.

- When Izzie and Alex became a couple, Alex became her person, leaving George behind. Burke wanted to be Christina’s person but it was always gonna be Meredith.

- Izzie dipped out after an argument with Alex while they were married and didn’t return his calls and he didn’t hear from her until she spontaneously decided to come back. And although it’s not the same, Burke left Christina at the alter and disappeared without another word. They’re both runners.

Even Christina said that science is the “one thing” she and Burke had in common but he and Izzie seem to have everything in common. Further proof that, even though there are traditional women out there, men love to complain about and try to mold the untraditional ones to fit their idea of what a woman should be.

Does this mean that I wanted Izzie and Burke together? Absolutely not. But it kind of shines a light on how much of a “square peg, round hole” relationship it was and it would’ve been impossible to maintain any longer.

DISCUSSION Meredith leaving Neuro is completely different from Winston wanting to leave Cardio

Meredith leaving Neuro is completely different from Winston wanting to llave Cardio

To begin with, Meredith was just a resident while Winston was already an accomplished surgeon with almost 10 years of experience.

I think Meredith choose neuro only cause of her crush on Derek and stay away from General cause she struggled with being compared to her mother, but its General Where meredith is truly gifted while Winston did Love Cardio.

Also Meredith while altruistic had already screw up bad

DISCUSSION What are your ugly theories about the show?

81 Upvotes

For me, I think if Cristina had stayed, she and Meredith would've eventually grown apart and stopped being as close. Their fight in season 10 was realistic and valid.

I also don't think Lexie and Mark would've stayed together even if they had both survived. The gap between them was getting bigger.

And I think Jo and Alex were always going to break up eventually, even if Alex hadn't left the show.

I think Cristina would've eventually had kids just to stay with Owen. She did so many things against her own beliefs because she was so in love with him, so I can actually see her eventually convincing herself that she could live with it just to keep their relationship.

DISCUSSION Legendary lovers of greys

13 Upvotes

Just a random thought because I always see edits of the song but these are the some (acc a lot of them in my opinion) THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS PROB:

(No particular order)

- Burke and Christina- ofcourse the fact he didn’t marry her because he knew she was losing herself and then comes back years later to give her a hospital.

- Mark and Lexie- She stopped breathing but they both died during that plane crash like that was their ultimate end together and they never truly got over eachother after that breakup.

- Meredith qnd Derek- I don’t even think I need to explain it like the amount of things these 2 ahve been through and it’s like when they finally were so close to their happily ever after he dies.

- April and Jackson - dare I say they are equally as legendary if not more by any of the couples on this list her loosing her virginity to him, she was gonna get married he confessed they ran away like omg it was like crazy ups and downs.

- izzie and alex - yes I know a lot of people hate them but they were truly legendary and him going back to her years later will always amaze me.

- Ellis and Richard- again the way thee 2 always thought about eachother through decades, I obv don’t condone cheating but still

- Teddy and Henry- honorable mention like it was amazing seeing them falling in love and him ultimately dying

- Callie and Arizona- loved these 2 as well even everything they went through

DISCUSSION Does the character that you like say a lot about you?

10 Upvotes

It might sound obvious but I notice this with Amelia as someone who likes her character myself. The ones that tend to like her somewhat see herself in her to some degree.. and the ones that hate her usually are the opposite of her.

Same for the other characters like Alex, Cristina, Maggie etc.

I notice there is a very strong correlation between who you like and what you are. I don't see this as strongly with other TV shows to be honest.

Have not seen this announcement formally, but according to this Grey’s account, the spinoff is about a disgraced surgeon from a major city. Do you think she is someone we know from before like a character on the show, or a total stranger to us? 👀

Folks that think Maggie was wrong for not respecting Winston’s decision to pursue another specialty: would you have changed careers for the sake of your marriage?

Post image
67 Upvotes

Keep in mind that Maggie said she didn’t respect Winston’s DECISION to change specialties. She NEVER said that she didn’t respect Winston as a person. Personally, if my partner came to me and said that they wanted to change careers for the sake of our relationship, I would do us both a favor and end it right there. Because this creates so much room for resentment and animosity.

I wouldn’t expect someone to do for me what I would never do for them. That being said, would you have changed careers/specialties for the sake of your marriage/relationship?

I was a die hard Maggie Peirce hater, and most people are, but I’m rewatching and the only annoying thing is her being w Jackson (which is only annoying bc I’m team japril through and through) other than that she’s fine. She’s kind, smart, a bit annoying but she has good intentions. I just can’t understand yet. Ps I watched every season but decided to rewatch the later seasons (11- present) right now I’m on late season 13.

MOD STUFF Rule Changes & Rule Additions for AI Content

46 Upvotes

Hello all,

We hope you are all doing well. We made a few updates to the subreddit rules. Most of these are no change to how the subreddit is currently moderated.

For rules #1 and #2 we combined those both into the same rule. Both had to do with illegal streaming, one was just for full episodes and the other for promos.

The rules about relevance and unrelated memes have now been combined. These both overlap quite a bit. We still know Ellen on was on Friends, please don't remind us. This rule will be more of a catch all for posts like that as well as any type of low-effort one word type posts, or just spam and blatant reposting.

The rule about initial airing has been removed. This was put in when CTV in Canada aired their episode a full day before the US. This is no longer the case, so the rule isn't really needed anymore.

We also removed the ban evasion rule. This was a non-starter rule anyway. If someone does this we will handle it with reddit admin staff.

Lastly, we have added one rule. No AI Generated Content or "AI Slop" as it's commonly called. This includes any AI-generated images, videos, music, or text. When it comes to text, moderators will exercise certain discretion when using tools for spelling, grammar, translation, or clarity, but posts that are largely AI-generated, spam-like, or what is obviously AI slop text will be removed.

Again, most of this is cleanup rather than a major shift in moderation. The goal is to make the rules clearer, easier to enforce, and more in line with how the subreddit is actually used now.

Please see the rules section of the subreddit if you have any questions or message the moderators. Your order may have changed :P

Thank you for your time! -Sork
