Okay, so this week on Grey’s Anatomy, McDumbass seems to have found himself a new girl, a nurse named Rose who apparently likes to be talked down to by poweful nuerosurgeons. Knowing the massive number of highschool girls who watch this show and drool upon the mere sight of Patrick Dempsey, is this really the message the writers and producers want to be sending out to his fans? That if you can’t get your shit together and submit to housewivery, your man will move on and get with somebody who will and that’s okay. As a matter of fact, it’s your fault that he’s impatient and untrustworthy.
Let’s add up the scoresheet, mmkay? Meredith – doctor. Rose – nurse. Meredith – doesn’t take too much shit from anyone, much less Derek. Rose – not only takes shit but rewards him with an embarassing, nearly one-sided kiss. Meredith- spent her first moments on GA avoiding the McDreamy curse. Rose – spent her first moments on GA revealing that she knows exactly how many of his surgeries she’s scrubbed in on. I don’t even think I need to say anymore.
Is it farfetched that the one who’s willing to ooh and ahh and worship and pander gets the man? No, not at all. In fact, the bigger problem for me is that they’ve ever portrayed this man as worth having.
