The more I think about last week's
Grey's Anatomy episode the less it works for me. I've been pondering this whole "double proposal thing" thing and, let's face it, it's about as gimmicky as you can get. I understand where
Grey's is coming from. Usually, proposals on prime time dramas are major events, with huge build-ups that the audience will see coming from a mile away. So,
Grey's, as it is wont to do, knocked convention on its ass and decided to give its audience two concurrent marriage proposals coming completely out of nowhere. My initial reaction was, "Cool, that's different. Never seen that before." But, after a week, I've changed my mind. Even if something is unconventional and original, it can also be a gimmicky stunt. Which is bad.
The spoilers below give us some insight below into what the answers/ramifications of the proposals will be. I assumed that one would say yes, the other no. There's no way both say yes; that'd be too happy for a show like
Grey's Anatomy. It's hard to like
Burke these days, so I hope he gets denied.
George and
Callie are a couple I can root for, however.
For some hints on what will happen tonight, check below.
