Private Practice/Grey's Anatomy

Only half-watching this two-hour show. It's disappointing. They are trying waaaay too hard to build sexual tension between all the new characters. And what's with the soundtrack?? Let's play random songs during inappropriate scenes such as a woman giving birth. I don't care for this episode at all.

I dislike Addison when she's crying and insecure with men. Has she become the new Meredith? Addison telling a random stranger about sexual tension in the elevator was dumb and even worse when she was acting crazy by talking to herself in the elevator. I liked her character when she was bold, assertive, and went after what she wanted. Instead she's been replaced with a whiny, indecisive, and weak individual. It's not enjoyable to watch.

The best part of this episode is Christina and Burke's wedding. It's amusing to watch her be so uninterested in all the plans whereas Burke takes on the stereotypical female role with his desire to have a big wedding. Their relationship is far from perfect, which is what makes it the most realistic.

I didn't know Merrin Dungey, Kelly from King of Queens, was going to be on the spin-off. I like her so it was a nice surprise to see her.

Anyway, this episode is like a bad soap opera. They've spent more time talking about sex, relationships, and infedility than anything else, falling very short of expectations. Just blah.

Farewell Addison (You'll Hardly be Missed)

Last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy was rather weak with the highlight being the humorous penis fish incident. The speculative reason for the two-hour episode next week is the backdoor pilot for the spin-off, Private Practice, starring Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh). Never been fond of her. She has moments where I start to like her, but it's always overlooked by her stagnant role with dead-end storylines. Last night they tried to create drama by having her choose between McSteamy (Eric Dane) and Alex (Justin Chambers), but that was a major snooze fest. Been there, done that. They couldn't come up with something better than that? So it looks like she will soon be moving to Santa Monica to start a new life (including a baby?) opposite Taye Diggs as the new McDreamy. Doesn't really sound too promising, but worth checking out.
