Grey's is Starting to Suck...And Dr.Hahn is Making That Decline Quicker

Dr. Hahn sucks.

And Grey's is starting to as well.

Tonight's episode was average. Nothing stellar. And it's cause Grey's just isn't as great as it used to be. Which is sad, since this is only the fourth season, it's pretty soon to see such a decline in quality to this degree. Besides some seriously weak storylines, it's almost like they did everything on the first take and didn't take the time to make sure every scene was stellar, the best they could get. That seems to be happening quite often on Grey's. Sub par storylines and acting not quite up to snuff.

And then there's the oh so bitchy, highly unlikeable Dr. Hahn. What's her damage? She's a bitch generally, she's a bitch to her patients, to her colleagues; clearly she enjoys her sour disposition, but that doesn't mean I like it. Are we supposed to enjoy the way she is derailing a fellow woman's medical career? Because that's what she's been doing to Cristina. We were lead to believe earlier on that Hahn cared about being taken as serious as her male counterparts, so her sticking it to Yang every chance she gets doesn't really make much sense. It was okay for her to be upset with Cristina (not that it made any sense, Cristina's the one who got left at the altar) in the beginning, now it's just petty and childish to continue to shut her out of surgeries. The only time she shows any value is when she is in the operating room with her mouth shut. She's just not remotely likable. The best part of the episode was when Bailey told that cold bitch a little about herself. She couldn't even have compassion for her colleague's situation. I'm not saying there aren't doctors out there like Dr. Hahn, but no one really needs to see this character portrayed on TV.

The show wants the audience to forget how great Burke was on here, but you've only magnified just how big a void he's left with the addition of the very cold Hahn. In some ways Hahn is reminiscent of Kerry Weaver on ER. I don't watch ER anymore, but others will remember like I do that in the beginning, Kerry left a lot to be desired in terms of personality and likability, but she was a phenomenal doctor and despite her difficulty getting along with her colleagues, she had a real talent in connecting with her patients. We aren't getting that from Hahn. I think it was probably a mistake to to bring her on a series regular. Not only has she not added much of anything to the show, pretty sure she's sucking what little life it did have, out of it.

Very quickly on the rest of the show. Very happy George got a wake up call from his mom, even if it was too little too late, hopefully he will start to get his act together, starting with ditching Izzie. And they need to scrap Izzie's character and start fresh with what was likable about her in that second season because she has no sense of direction anymore. She's messing with Cristina's career because she's not sure what she wants out of her own? Yeah, that makes sense. Also, glad the dead horse better known as the Meredith and Derek romance has gotten it's final nail in the coffin. I like Rose. But she strikes me as a woman with too much self respect to accept a date from a man for the same day that he broke off a long term relationship. She didn't seem that desperate, and it doesn't make a good start to whatever could happen with her and Derek.

Bottom line - the show needs to get better pronto. It's popularity is on the sharp decline. One interesting thing I've noticed on the boards I frequent to discuss TV shows is that a Grey's Anatomy episode would have around 100 comments by the time the show ended with at least 800 or so views, if not over one thousand. This is all before the episode ended. Guess what tonight's was? 12 comments and just over 100 views. And that wasn't just for tonight's show, that been for the last handful of new episodes that aired. The show needs to do something quick to regain some of their former glory.
