Okay. One of the things I really really love about House is the awesome quotes. That show's got take me homes in every single episode, and Hugh Laurie has got all the great lines in the show. A protagonist of a hit tv series is supposed to be awesome like that, he/she's supposed to have the coolest lines in the movies, and he/she's supposed to make you go 'Whoa' all the time, and get you going back for more.

Example. House's all time truth, 'Everybody lies.'

Examples:
Why does God get all the credit whenever something good happens?!
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.
Are you comparing me to God? I mean, it’s great, but so you know, I’ve never made a tree.
Like I always say, there’s no ‘I’ in team. There’s a ‘me,’ though, if you jumble it up.
Treating illness is why we became doctors. Treating patients is actually what makes most doctors miserable.
This thing won me second place in the clinic’s weekly ‘Weirdest thing pulled out of an orifice’ contest.
Heart transplant. Immune system’s in the toilet, Mommy builds her little angel a John Travolta-quality bubble.
What else turns you on? Drugs? Casual sex? Rough sex? Casual rough sex? I’m a doctor, I need to know.

…

So okay. I'll cut Grey's some slack, because IN THE BEGINNING, season 1 was totally cool, and Meredith Grey was totally adorable (cute face, cute eyes, cute body, and awesome lines.).

Example from the very first episode: ' I can't think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose… there are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field. '

Sure she's a little bit wordy compared to cutting edge in your face House-isms, but at least you could identify with what she's saying and you can actually go, 'yeah, yeah, she's got a point.'

And then at least, you've got Yang and Bailey's cut them deep lines like these to make up for the drawling, whiney pitch that Meredith's puts us through:

Bailey - I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change.
Yang - You know, I know a liar when I see one because I am a liar.

…

So anyway, the character Meredith Grey has regressed to a brainful of wtf-lame-liners, and the sucky thing about this stupid leading lady is how they insist that she's still THE STAR and therefore they have to subject people who can actually like Grey's Anatomy to torturous earfuls of Meredith's time-wasting voiceovers. Its okay if those stuff she dishes out at the beginning and ending of every episode makes sense. Yup. But when you are reduced to this kind of bull:

' You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true. '

I mean pardon me-lah, but WTF????

I love Yang, I love Bailey, heck, I love Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, and I love the rest of the doctor squad (hot, young, handsome and you wanna have lots more of them, despite how ridiculous it is that the doctors in Seattle Grace all sleep with each other)… but OMG how on earth did Meredith Grey become the leading lady is freaking beyond me.
