I've been surfing the web a lot this week reading blogs and articles about the new season. The big question is whether Shonda can get "GA" back on track after a disastrous third season. I can't say it's looks likes she's changing hearts and minds quite yet. Here's a samply of what folks are saying:
At least Shonda sounds happy about the way things are going. But she kind of has to, doesn't she?
And finally, a sneak peak at behind the cameras shows another new addition to the cast. Because there aren't already enough characters, some of which (Karev, McSteamy) do not get enough airtime and good storylines as it is . . .

Hey Paula, I'd recommend giving it another shot. Despite the less-than-enthusiastic comments in the links above, the show has recaptured it's sense of humor in a big way. I think the speculation on the new character coming between Mer/Der is just that . . . speculation. I think she's meant for McSteamy. After all, Addison is gone now. What other storyline does he have now besides his friendship with Derek. While I'm still finding Mer/Der frustrating right now, I'm willing to wait a little longer.

Another new cast member competing for McDreamy? Oh gosh, how original..I should go back to watching this. Oh wait, no. I stopped after the horrid season three. Once Shonda Rhimes lost interest in her key couple Meredith and Derek (and look a new love triangle for Derek/Mer ugh) I lost interest in watching. How could you forget how to write for a couple that had all the popularity you could get for a show? If you think you won't get a answer full of "spin" could you do me a favor and ask Shonda Rhimes?
