Grey's Anatomy 3x20

Last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was one of those retrospective clip shows that are sometimes used to either catch new viewers up on what’s been happening over the past couple seasons or give regular viewers a glimpse of what’s to come for their favorite characters. “Every Moment Counts” falls into the former category, as there were no new scenes and no clues about the future.

Most of the focus was on the characters and their various sexual relationships with each other. This made the whole thing pretty boring, in my opinion, because these scenes have been freakin’ done to death already. I could have gone without seeing Denny and the whole LVAD wire drama again, and I definitely didn’t need to hear Meredith’s totally pathetic “Pick me, choose me, LOVE me” speech to Derek once more. Ugh. That stuff was craptastic enough the first time around.

Some of the clips did make me a bit nostalgic. I particularly liked the stuff from early Season 1 and Season 2 when the five interns were really interacting with each other and not dealing with their own agendas so much. That’s what first attracted me to this show anyway. It wasn’t McDreamy (or any of the other guys) nor was it the sexual exploits. It was the five interns and their developing friendship as they learned to be great surgeons. That’s the Grey’s Anatomy I want to see again. Will we ever get it back?
