Warning: Spoilers ahead!
It's that time of year again, folks! On September 22nd, "Grey's Anatomy" premiered it's 13th season. Just as we suspected, Shonda Rhimes kept our heart rates up as our favorite characters went through some traumatizing stuff (mainly Alex...). Here are 38 thoughts I had while watching the first episode of one of the greatest shows ever created.
1. Oh boy, here we go.
2. Roommate: Where’s McDreamy? Me: WE DON’T TALK ABOUT IT.
3. Wow, what a recap. So emotional. It's been too long, Grey's.
4. Come on, this is ALEX. Baby-holding, heartbeat-steadying, kid-loving ALEX.
5. Roommate: MEREDITH, you idiot! That’ll never work.
6. Roommate: Meredith looks old and sad.
7. Oh Jo, no no no. It’s not your fault.
8. When Richard is, once again, the most oblivious one in the room.
9. Aww, Maggie really cares about Deluca.
10. This is really, really bad. But not as bad as Izzie intentionally cutting the LVAD cord, Meredith holding a bomb in a person, or a live shooter raging through the hospital. Eh.
11. TBT to when Meredith and Alex were 2/5 interns.
12. RIP George. Still not over it.
13. This is way too stressful. Can we get a scene in the baby room, please?
14. Who even knew an eye could be paralyzed? Always learning so much with this show (*real doctors and nurses cringe*).
15. Why is nobody talking about April? She literally just had a C-section in her kitchen.
16. Me trying to explain the difference between Derek and Jackson to the roommates: One is (was) McDreamy and one has dreamy eyes. It's simple. Keep up.
17. What do all y'all smart doctors think is going to happen when Deluca wakes up? Will he say Alex slipped in the rain too?!? Ugh, stop.
18. BRB sobbing because they need to be together.
19. Shonda, seriously why you gotta rip my heart out like that AGAIN?
20. Why do I keep coming back for more?!
21. Man, that accent is really working for Nathan.
22. Remember when Alex used to be a jerk like a billion years ago? But now he's good, WE SWEAR.
23. FINALLY ALEX LISTENS. About time, bro.
24. *SMH* I don’t like where this is going one bit.
25. First Dr. Webber life lesson of the season–-check.
26. He’s AWAKE! Praise the lord. Is it bad that all I care about is if there's hope for Alex?
27. Honestly, so many things could be avoided if these characters would just listen to each other. *Sigh*
28. Ah, "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack is always killing it.
29. It sucks to fess up, but good work Alex. Proud of you.
30. Feels, so many feels.
31. It’ll be okay Alex; you've got this.
32. #Jo&Alex4ever -- if not, I quit. For real this time, Shonda!
33. LOL where are Amelia and Owen and is anyone still at their wedding?
34. Scratch that--Mer is now the last standing intern. Well then.
35. “Best to keep the past in the past” –- there is literally so much past, Mer. Like 12 seasons worth.
36. Okay, try not worry, Alex. So many people should have lost their doctor jobs during this show, but at Grey-Sloan they continue to work!
37. Speaking of, Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan–-moment of silence for the deaths I'll never get over.
38. “The future is ours to choose”-- you’re darn right, Mer. And therefore, I'll choose to watch this stressful, addicting, beautiful, wonderful show every Thursday for the rest of season 13.
This episode was definitely different than the usual Grey's. While dramatic, it was a bit too stressful for my liking. Sure, it could be argued that the show's best moments are behind them, but that doesn't mean I love the show any less. Long live Grey's!
