Teganjaz Books Presents... Author, Tracy L. Darity

If you are anything like me and my daughter Shaunte, you were on the edge of the couch, eyes covered, mute button near by, screaming at any angle change on the screen. My daughter Morgan thought it was too much, but I think it was the stuff real dramas are lacking, which may account for the huge number of series cancellations this year. If networks want to win the war against these ridiculous reality shows they need to bring the heat. Maybe not so deadly but definitely energizing our senses and making us want to watch.

Now I am going to be honest, as the show went into hour two my imagination kicked in. It may have been the poor-performing SWAT team that came in to stabilize the situation at Seattle Grace Hospital, or I simply needed a distraction to get my emotions in check. Whatever the reason I began to make a list of who I needed eliminated from the show. I mean, since there was a mad gunman on the loose and it was obvious everyone wasn’t going to make it, why not get rid of some characters that add nothing to the show, or; are hindering your favorites from being together.

 Alex (Justin Chambers): I need Alex to go because his part is boring. He is a mediocre male who doesn’t really think for himself. I liked him better when he was chasing skirts and bedding nurses. Alex needs to go so Lexie (Chyler Leigh) can get back with Mark (Eric Dane) without any interruptions.

Dr. Weber (James Pickens, Jr): They’ve stripped him of his duties as Chief of Staff, he can’t perform surgery because he’s an alcoholic, his wife (Loretta Divine) left him a couple of seasons ago, so what’s left for him? But I do love how he talked that nutcase into completing his mission by taking himself out.

Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) and Callie (Sara Ramirez): Of all the hook-ups in Grey’s history, these two have to be the most annoying couple in the shows history. I do not get their purpose. Arizona lacks any type of personality and Callie is so lost and confused on her identity that it is a distraction. Callie can stay if her and Mark could hook-up, but then what would happen with Lexie. I guess Alex could live and they could go off together into the horizon. Hhmmmm.

Owen (Kevin McKidd): This guy is sexy in a creepy kind of way. I like him with Christina (Sandra Oh). Then again, I like Christina with any man who can penetrate her soft side. What I can’t take is an indecisive man. How about this, make Christina and Teddy (Kim Raver) the token gay couple?

Meredith (Ellen Pompeo): I know, I know, the story is actually centered on the life of Meredith Grey, who grew-up at Seattle Grace because her mother was a great surgeon there and life-long love of Dr. Weber, etc… It may not even be the character that annoys me to the nth degree as much as the actress herself. Or maybe it is that mouth of hers. Not the words coming out of it but the mouth itself, the lips, the overbite, the pushing of the tongue to the roof of the mouth. I need her self-centeredness to stop being okay, and for her to, ughhh, I don’t know. Can someone just call in casting so her role can be given to someone else?
