Grey's Anatomy: Why I'm On The Fence About Gizzie

buddytv · 10-15-2007, 10:22 AM

When Grey’s Anatomy was in its first season, all any of my female friends and family members told me was how great it was. When something is hyped beyond reason, I tend to stay away from it so naturally, it took until the middle of season 2 to lose my inner battle and give in to my love for the doctors of Seattle Grace. Since then, I have gone on to have a love/hate relationship with the show, mostly love. I loved the Izzie/Denny relationship and hated that Meredith almost drowned. I loved that Alex found a heart while taking care of Ava, but hated the way they resolved (or lack thereof) the Cristina/Burke storyline. Now, a new storyline has me on the fence: the Gizzie relationship.

sorry, but kind of have to agree.

I love George and Izzie together. They are the couple who make the most sense to me on the show, and one of my all-time favorite couples. This being said, I completely agree with you that humour needs to be injected back into this relationship. They were hysterical together when they were friends. I realize that the angst is necessary to show that they both feel badly about the cheating, but I hope they resolve the triange so that they can go back to having fun. I do feel sorry for Callie, but as in real life, you can't destroy a good marriage. I believe that Callie already knew that her marriage was shaky at best (she asked her husband's best friend to drop him and she constantly "hit him on the nose with a newspaper" as per George. Not a good start.
I for one would be greatly disappointed if George and Izzie don't make it. I certainly won't be watching GA for the Meredith and Derek breakup sex. I love the show and all of it's characters, but I tune in for George and Izzie

I agree with everything except the part about doing the same thing as Izzie in regards to pointing out George's mistake in marrying Callie, and the reason I disagree is because you simplified Izzie's actions. I do not disagree with the idea of a friend pointing out her concerns about another friend's choices, even cutting the bull and getting right to the point of saying that they think the friend made a mistake. I have no problem with the idea of Izzie broaching these concerns to George, telling him her worries and all that. A real friend will do that ... ONCE.

Once you keep harping on it every chance you get, you're not a friend anymore. You're a judgmental, disrespectful turd.

And that's what Izzie was doing.

Izzie would not let up with her judgmental, condescending attitude and, most importantly, her UNBELIEVABLY RUDE comments to both George and Callie about the marriage. She insulted Callie at every turn, she called the marriage nothing but a piece of paper (maybe

(maybe so, but that's NOT her call to make), and she had the nerve to call George out on it--for the UMPTEENTH TIME--while their other friend was in the next room DYING, for God's sake. Izzie has not been a good friend to George in a very long time. Everything about her "concern" for George's marriage has been ME, ME, ME--all because she was jealous that another woman had George's attention. And we have no proof that the marriage was actually a mistake, because the reason George wants to leave her now has NOTHING to do with any of those reasons--he's leaving because he (thinks) he wants to be with Izzie instead. Nothing has happened specifically between George and Callie to support the idea that they got married too soon or shouldn't have gotten married at all. George's current ambivalence is all about him, and him and Izzie--it's not him and Callie.

I can't stand the Gizzie storyline. I'm not understanding why I'm supposed to root for George dumping his wife, who never did a

I'm not understanding why I'm supposed to root for George dumping his wife, who never did anything to him or Izzie, for the one woman who has treated her like crap from the moment they met and insulted their marriage every minute. Am I the only one who can see the total disconnect there? If you ask me, I don't think George really wants Izzie. I think he's confusing a desire to be out of his marriage--for no reason other than that he just woke up and realized, hey, I got married right after my dad died, this must be a bad idea, even though nothing has happened between him and Callie to make him not want to be with her anymore (his sleeping with Izzie is an outside factor, I'm talking about factors entirely internal to the marriage)--for a desire to be with Izzie instead. Izzie is just his way out of his marriage, and once he and Callie are kaput and he's free to be with Izzie all he wants, he's going to realize he didn't want to be with her after all. He just wanted to be free. I

I agree that I want to see more fun and humour worked into their relationship, because the cuteness and fun is what made me want them together in the first place. That's not to say I haven't enjoyed the angsty stuff too, but I think they're going to give us the lighter stuff this season if they are together.

Guest · 10-16-2007, 06:53 AM

I think it's painfully obvious that Izzie is both transferring her feelings for Denny onto George, since he's the next closest thing she has in her life to That Guy she can always count on and with whom she feels like the most important person (she is frightfully narcissistic), and reacting out of her possessiveness towards George and her inability to let go of anything she becomes attached to. Callie has in a sense replaced her as "the most important girl in George's life" and Izzie can't stand it. She has created the idea that she is in love with him because she just wants him for herself, not because she truly wants him.

oH i AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING iZZIE IS TRANSFERING HER EFELINGS FOR dENNY ONTO gEORGE WHEN BOTH sHONDA AND kATHERINE hEIGL HAVE SAID THIS WAS NOT THE ACSE. dO THE HATERS ONLY READ OR EHAR WHAT THEY WANT TO?

Those feelings did not appear out of the blue, I have been seeing them since season 2. Remember that episode Blues fro a soul sister or something like that, the one with the divorce lawyer, they were not fighting like friends, they were fighting like loevrs, in fact the divorce lawyer thought they were lovers. And later she told George only people who loved each other fought like that. How some people did not see the signs in that I will never know.

Then the episode after, the way they did the shots of George, Izzie and Callie, I had a friend who didn't watch the show and she said oh, tose three are in a love triangle, and that is when Denny was alive.

It was obvious for a long time Izzie had feelings for George, she never liked any of the girls he was with, she talked

I love george and Izzie. You are against them because of their name? What a stupid thing to say! How about Meredith and Derek aka MerDer (or some funny people like to call them murder and say they are murdering the show), are you against them for their name too? Or Cage (the nickname for George and Callie, which fits them well as George is trapped in his marriage with her), do you hate their nickname too? If you hate the nickname, just call them O'Stevens, a lot of their fans do, or hey, just George and Izzie, here is a concept for you.

This is a TV show where all the couples have cheated, so I am sorry, but the cheating excuse doesn't fly anymore, especially when the main couple was absed on sex and still seem to be.

Callie and George were a mistake from the start and if George had not been crazy from grief, he would never have married her. So what, is he suppose to stay in an unhappy marriage because he made a mistake and because he and Izzie happened to find out they were in
