Emmy Material

Grey's! Shame on you! REALLY??! You are my favorite show! Haven't you beaten the proverbial dead horse last season when you killed off all those poor brain patients - slowly, one after the other - in the clinical trials? Except for on the season finale, that plucky virgin/non-virgin poor man's Jennifer Hudson got to live because she SO WANTED TO LIVE, and because she had a nice smile. You did kill off the deflowering boyfriend and the love of her life, however, and that was kind of rude of you.

I so miss the unexploded-bomb-in-body-cavity, man-and-woman-cojoined-by-wreckage-from-horrible-train-accident, how-many-of-the-teeny-tiny-preterm-quintuplets-will-survive storylines. You know, real stuff that actually happens.

Grey's. Seriously. We may have to part ways. It's not you, it's me.

Ok, who am I kidding? I will probably still watch this fall, soley because my neurosurgeon does NOT look like Patick Dempsey (if he did, I would demand tri-weekly house calls). That "doctor", in and of himself, is a fine piece of ... umm? ... entertainment ...

After dropping out of the Emmy race and announcing she "wasn't given the material to warrant a nomination," Katherine Heigl basically s*** in the corn flakes of the Grey's Anatomy writers. And now they're striking back:

*Spoiler Alert*

HER CHARACTER GETS A BRAIN TUMOR.

*End spoiler.*

Did I do that right? Us Weekly reports:

“[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her,” the source tells Us. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”

While I admire the writers for exacting their revenge, I'm a little disappointed. A brain tumor? (Oh, s***, SPOILER!) I mean, is that the best they can do? I was hoping for something along the lines of Katherine's character falling in love with Osama bin Laden. Together they try to make things work while balancing their careers. (He's a terrorist; she's a doctor. Wacky!) And, of course, there'd be several subplots where it's revealed her character hates puppies, freedom and the laughter of children. I should really write a pilot.
