How...how...how....is this show still on the air, much less popular? I have been a watcher from day one, but this show should have ended at least 4 years ago and "Let's Talk About Sex" officially puts the nail in the coffin of this show. It has now entered parody territory and is embarrassing itself.
We get it, the writers and likely actors are very upset about the Roe v. Wade news, but my gosh, this whole episode could have been replaced with one of those memes of the screeching person with purple hair and 10 piercings in her face.
Once again the show has given up acting and story arcs for speech making. All the main characters in the episode- Bailey, Wilson, Montgomery, Meredith Grey, etc. All had to just not even bother acting and give a speech about how (insert negative emotion here) feel. Montgomery felt "erased"? WTF?
So to set up the whining, the interns are forced to act in some videos that Wilson and Bailey are putting together to educate teens about sex. Naturally, a bunch of teens (about 30 of them) come to the hospital to watch the videos being taped, because it doesn't make sense to send the doctors to the school. Oh and of course, one of the teen girls discovers she is pregnant while at the film session! Who could have seen that coming? ALL OF US DID! Then, another girl just falls out with a massive ovarian cyst....but of course! Luckily, Montgomery and Bailey, who do not even work at the hospital anymore, are there to operate and save the girl. Also, did you know that granting surgical privileges is as easy as waving your hand? Bailey asks for them, Webber waves his hand and says "you got 'em". Same for Montgomery...easy peasy.
Just when you think this episode can't get anymore embarrassing or hamfisted, they have all the characters dancing in the video! I was so embarrassed for every one of those actors. This show didn't just "Jump the Shark" it blew up the shark. Horrendous!
In other stories in the episode, we have now discovered that Meredith and (the late) Derek's daughter Zola is a prodigy, a freaking super genius! Didn't see that coming either, right? Well, let's grant her surgical privileges! She'll be the next "Doogie Howser" by the end of the season, you can book it.
Also, the great Marla Gibbs ("The Jeffersons") appears as a grandmother of an intern who has Alzheimers and yet only Meredith, someone she has never met, can seem to talk to her. Go Meredith!
Finally, the episode closes with everyone doing the dirty boogie. Owen and the ever irritating Teddy, who have been at each other's throats for 3 episodes so far, get back together when Owen learns that one of the erogenous zones on a woman is behind the knee. So he walks in the room, places his hand behind her knee for 1.2 seconds, then proceeds to throw her around and dry hump her. I didn't know an erogenous zone was actually an easy button! Shoot, I've been doing it all wrong my whole adult life! All I had to do is press the button behind the knee and then sha-bam, I'm getting me some!
This was some of the worst tv I have ever seen. I need to cleanse my brain and watch some old shows like NYPD Blue, The Sopranos, etc. To remind myself that: A. At one point, writers actually wrote interesting stories, and B. There were actors who really gave a crap.
