Hey, why aren't that Limahl-guy singing "Never ending story" in the scenes with Izzie & George? Again and again and again and again and again and again...

"Abysmal"
Another painful installment in the Izzie & George-saga. Oh, the emotional turbulence and drama between these two...it's so easy to believe. Not. It's so filled with real emotions and logic. Not. Just like real life. Not. I had my hopes up when it was said that George would move to another hospital. Finally some logic! But Nooooo: in the world of Grey's anatomy the philosophy is: once you've started abusing the audience who loved this show in season one and two - and most part of the third - then just continue to abuse them. This show is now a free fall in stupidity. The passion between Izzie and George (oh my God!) came from nowhere, is nowhere and is heading nowhere. The scriptwriting has sunk to a monumental all-time low(est) and there's no hope in sight. The scene where Izzie tells George that she has no feelings for him, it was just sex and then runs away and sobs in some storage room: that must be on the Top 3 of all-time-bad-scriptwriting. Credibility - que? And, as will all fillerstories in Grey's anatomy (now more known as Filler's Anatomy), this will continue to drag on and on and on and on. When will Izzie and George finally get each other? Maybe after some quarrel, where she runs out into the rain and he runs after? Embracing each other and telling how much they love each other? I'm sure the screaming of NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! from an audience will show up on the Richterscale. This isn't a story, it's an abuse. My sympathies to Callie, even if there is no logic in her supporting/wanting George. George, the actor with one expression (= constipation). Grey's has obviously run out of ideas, since they had to invent the Izzie-George-story and keeps feeding it to the audience. Meredith's fortune-cookie-wisdom is more rigor mortis than ever. No, get rid of George and Izzy a.s.a.p, to save at least some dignity in the show, focus on Christina, Burke, Mark, Allison, Karev and Derek Shepherd - characters who feel real, made of flesh and blood - not stupidity. Build on them and try to build a mature and credible story, instead of giving in to this pathetic, never-ending story with Izzie and George. If you could prosecute any scriptwriter for bad ideas and bad writing, the court of TV-shows would pass the verdict Guilty-without-a-doubt on that story, as well as on the pathetic story (and hey, where did that come from - out of the blue, without any real context): Shepherd has to make a choice between his career and Meredith. Man, this feels more and more like "Lost", season 3, with loose ends and fillerstories lying around everywhere. Obviously there is a lack of real fuel for the show, since it's been running on empty for several episodes now - devoting time to bad stories and scriptwriting, being so full of itself that it almost chokes. Can this show be saved? Watching this episode and realizing that Izzie and George will continue longing for each other, saying they don't looooove each other and then run away and cry, yearning - victims of a passion too big for this world, where the price you Have to pay is to be unfaithful and unbelieavble - I have serious doubts. There is no justification for this story, apart from stupidity (hey, two and a half seasons of Best friends and then, suddenly, Sex-Love-Angst-Love-Yearning-Passion - are you kidding me?????). What's next? Since there's no longer any need for reality or stories being believable, you can expect anything. Either get rid of these pathethic fillers, hire some good scriptwriters or close the show. Now. I say this with a bleeding heart, but the true Grey's Anatomy is gone and has been replaced by this pretend-to-feel-filler, like something out of Body Snatchers. It looks like Grey's Anatomy, has the same actors but it doesn't feel quite right, does it? You're right, it isn't.
