Meredith Grey Must Die
Though I'm absolutely convinced it won't happen, the lead character on "Grey's Anatomy" is facing the prospect of dying in tonight's episode. As of now she is only (to quote Billy Crystal, "mostly dead").
(Full disclosure: I watch this show for the Mrs., not by personal preference)
How it is that the show's writers have taken a character who is the single narrative voice among an ensemble cast and made her so unlikable is beyond me. The fact is that Meredith has become the least interesting and most annoying character on the show. If, by some chance, she were not to survive from a bout with hypothermia (how exactly she can manage to spend forty-five minutes submerged in the freezing Pugeot Puget Sound and still be even remotely alive is beyond implausible) I won't shed a tear.
I don't have a problem with the actress, Ellen Pompeo, at all. In fact, I thought she was downright adorable in "Old School". But if I don't have to listen to her whining for the rest of the series that'll be just fine with me.
Yes, the show's title is "Grey's Anatomy", but at this point it might as well be "McBeal's Anatomy"
UPDATE:
Dang!
Pugeot Sound? Is that where they make the cars? :smirk:

I know of one case of a teenager falling through the ice of the Red River in Fargo, ND, who was revived after being under for nearly an hour. The cold itself saves their lives because their cells don't use up the oxygen they have.
