Shonda Talks About Drowning on Dry Land
Shonda has posted her thoughts on last night’s episode at Grey Matter.
On Denny, she says:
So, yeah, that was Denny and Dylan.
I’m trying to be all casual about it.
Like I don’t care.
Like, you know, Denny and Dylan, whatever…I’m cool, I’m good.
But I almost hugged Jeffrey Dean Morgan to death when he arrived on set. He was nice about it considering the restraining order he should have taken out against me during Season Two. I was glad to see him. And I was glad to see Kyle Chandler who was gracious enough to fly out here and film on one of his very few days off from the very well-written Friday Night Lights.
See, I miss Denny and Dylan. A lot. So it was nice to see them for a moment, wasn’t it? Even if Meredith is dead?
She’s not dead, Shonda! She’s … mostly dead. There’s a difference.
Shonda was kind enough to discuss everything BUT the death of Meredith. Thanks, Shonda. You evil, EVIL woman.
EVIL.
But this will give us something interesting to think about for the next week:
The most interesting one to watch this episode is Derek. I don’t know if you remember that in first season, he said to Meredith: “You were like coming up for fresh air. I was drowning and you saved me.” It was good to be able to call that back (everything comes back around eventually on this show, I find) and to see what happens when Meredith is drowning. He’s not Mer’s knight in shining whatever – he gets kicked out the trauma room where Richard and Bailey are working on her. He’s forced to sit out in the hall, helpless. And he’s seeing his worst nightmare come true. Because he’s realizing: Meredith has become so important to him and the prospect of losing her is terrifying. Who is he if he isn’t the guy who rescues Mer? Who is he when he can’t save a life?
Wow, I’m tearing up. lol.

I thought she discussed the death (enough for Shonda anyway) on the Podcast. I was interested in those last couple questions she posed, “Who is he if he isn’t the guy who rescues Mer? Who is he when he can’t save a life?” I think there is room for some very exciting character development here, for everyone…Izzie’s little speech…nice!

I am grateful the subject of after-life is discussed and shown in such a positive manner as i believe this concept to be true. Gray’s Anatomy is watched by millions and hopefully this will generate discussion on this topic. It was great to see Denny again!!!
