any thoughts on the rest of the episode and THAT ending

i was going to write a post but i’ll just answer here lol

episode 1 thoughts:

did not know maggie had a bf or Jackson had a gf or that teddy and koracick’s sexcapades were broadcasted to an entire OR. i would have rewatched s16 to remind myself of these things before tonight, but i did not want to

also highkey forgot jackson had a kid until his gf showed up 

Jackson and jo are ew. fuck krista vernoff.

honestly so mad that amelink didn’t even have *1* scene. they were the only reason i was watching in the first place

episode 2 thoughts:

i don’t care about teddy or owen or that mess. i don’t. the only things i will say are that (1) i will never forgive the writers for messing up teddy’s character so much that i now hate her; (2) they deserve each other; (3) i’m really upset that koracick can’t seem to redeem himself. 

look i think they’re going to try and replicate the jolex best friends to lovers thing with jo/jackson, and if that happens, i will throw a tantrum. not just because nothing can match up to jolex, but also because i love jackson and jo’s friendship and i need it to stay exactly that way – a friendship

also don’t like merluca. i appreciate the mental health storyline they’ve got with Andrew but i don’t really want to see more of him and Meredith together. part of me ships Meredith x cormac hayes, but also cormac seems too good for her. 

nico still has the personality of a tennis ball. glasses is still annoying. schmico is still a poor replacement for what calzona had. 

irdc about whatever nonsense webber and catherine had/have going on. also webber bringing that mom into the hospital was plain irresponsible. 

i have no idea what maggie’s boyfriend’s name is, nor when/where/why/how that relationship started, but i like them together!

SO MUCH DOMESTIC AMELIA AND LINK I’M IN HEAVEN!!! i adore them and honestly was annoyed that the episode wasn’t focused entirely around them + baby + grey’s kids, especially since some genius decided not to feature them at all in ep 1…also, just for the record, they’re single-handedly carrying the show at this point 😌

on a side note, before i saw an actual child (as opposed to an infant) run out and demand food, there was a split-second where i thought amelia and link named their kid��“bailey” and forgot they have a nephew by the same name. goes to show the level of faith i have in the writers at this point

i have SO many questions about that ending…think she got covid and that’s how she’s seeing derek, but can’t be certain…also ppl on twitter are talking about revivals of other dead/gone people (w imdb screenshots as proof) and i think it might actually happen on this batsh*t-crazy show
