Law and Disorder (1958)

"Right, now listen boys, it's all lined up: we're getting rid of the judge."

"What?"

"Knock off a judge? You must be raving, we'll spend the rest of our lives in clink."

"Here, let me out!"

"We don't have to touch him. Police are gonna arrest him."

"Oh, that's better. Thought we'd turned nasty."

People talk about Batman: The Animated series. And sure, it had some good episodes (I still remember the Two-Face one). But you know what's better? The 1960s Batman show. Burgess Meredith as The Penguin, Cesar Romero as The Joker, and Frank Gorshin doing an amazing Riddler. It's villians were amazing! And above and beyond, it even managed to make Batman and Robin somewhat likeable! Which is a rarity for me! I still rooted for the villians, but I didn't hate Batman and Robin.

Also: Bring Aunt Harriet back into the comics! Madge Blake was a great actress who was unappreciated in her time. We need to bring Aunt Harriet back in honour of her memory. In fact, all batman comics should read like episodes of that show. That show was peak batman, and I don't see why comic writers of the 70s seemed to struggle so hard against it. Screw you, Denny O'Neil. You should've let batman stay fun!

1960s Batman was colorful and fun. Riddler posed crafty conundrums that took a leap of logic while Penguin hid his schemes behind a respectable facade. The show didn't take itself too seriously yet Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin and John Astin played them with panache. Try it for #riddlebirdweek

I can't believe they used to be us.

True friend group goals are Catwoman, The Penguin, The Joker, and The Riddler in the Batman 66 movie… committing crimes and yelling at each other

Unpopular Greys Opinions

Jackson and April deserved a better storyline

April and Arizona didn't deserve to be written off. Their characters had more to offer

I wish Penny stayed. I really liked her character and I think she could have been explored more

Stephanie Edwards was the best resident after Cristina and deserved to be an attending

Leah Murphy shouldn't have done it to my baby Arizona but she had a point. It shouldn't have normalized attendings sleeping with residents

The whole Ben and Bailey storyline where he kills that mom and baby always makes me feel like crying. And it makes Bailey such a hypocrite.

Lexie and Mark are an epic love story because of their ending. If they were still alive, they would have ruined it like they did Arizona, Callie, Jackson, and April. In a way, their death was the best way to end their story.

Amelia had a sad life. But she can be annoying.

Mer, Maggie, Deluca, and Riggs just seemed icky. I know technically they all didn't overlap but it was very weird.

Maggie and Jackson were a complete NO (like why does Jackson get together with all Mer's sisters)

Maggie is such an interesting character. I wish they had introduced her early on. I wish she had met Lexie

[just-an-enby-lemon]

Look at this perfect underated Riddler. Yes, they have little screem time but goddamit if Meredith doesn't makes the best out of it. Look at my baby.

Quietude

Van Gogh, Brooke, and Other Purveyors of Wisdom

Cornfield with Crows by Vincent van Gogh

Youth in Age

ONCE I was part of the music I heard On the boughs or sweet between earth and sky; For joy of the beating of wings on high My heart shot into the breast of the bird.

I hear it now and I see it fly, And a life in wrinkles again is stirred; My heart shoots into the breast of the bird, As it will for sheer love till the last long sigh.

—George Meredith

Intérieur blanc/White Interior by Pierre Bonnard

The Long Small Room

THE long small room that showed willows in the west Narrowed up to the end the fireplace filled, Although not wide. I liked it. No one guessed What need or accident made them so build. Only the moon, the mouse, and the sparrow peeped In from the ivy round the casement thick. Of all they saw and heard there they shall keep The tale for the old ivy and older brick. When I look back I am like moon, sparrow, and mouse That witnessed what they could never understand Or alter or prevent in the dark house. One thing remains the same—this is my right hand Crawling crab-like over the clean white page, Resting awhile each morning on the pillow, Then once more starting to crawl on towards age. The hundred last leaves stream upon the willow.

—Edward Thomas

Sleeping Man with a Book by Yehuda Pen

The Busy Heart

NOW that we've done our best and worst, and parted, I would fill my mind with thoughts that will not rend. (O heart, I do not dare go empty-hearted) I'll think of Love in books, Love without end; Women with child, content; and old men sleeping; And wet strong ploughlands, scarred for certain grain; And babes that weep, and so forget their weeping; And the young heavens, forgetful after rain; And evening hush, broken by homing wings; And Song's nobility, and Wisdom holy, That live, we dead. I would think of a thousand things, Lovely and lovable, and taste them slowly, One after one, like tasting a sweet food. I have need to busy my heart with quietude.

—Rupert Brooke

Random Grey's Anatomy Opinions (Part Four)

Arizona, Callie, Meredith, and Jo's short hair/bob eras were amazing, but Amelia's was so bad. Meredith's bangs era was also really bad, but Lexie's was really amazing (but then again, Lexie slayed in every hair era). Bailey and Maggie's season 19 hair styles were so pretty, and I bow down to the hair hair department for that. Simone's original curly hair was gorgeous, but I wasn't sure how to feel about her shorter and straighter hair, and I still have mixed feelings about it.

Even disregarding my dislike for Owen, Teddy's relationships with Koracick and Henry (say his name, Teddy!) were so much better and so much more compelling.

Eliza was not that bad of a character when she first started and people were definitely being so immature to her, but she did end up a really bad character (especially when she didn't tell anyone that Stephanie was missing).

Numerous dynamics that should've lezzed out at least once: Teddy & Cristina, Meredith & Cristina, Lexie & April, Addison & Meredith, April & Arizona, Cristina & Callie, Arizona & Herman, April & Cristina, Callie & Addison, Bailey & Addison, Jo & Stephanie, Lexie & Amelia.

Everyone guilt-tripping Meredith about leaving the hospital in season 18 was so immature and stupid because not only was it inconsiderate of Meredith's feelings, but it also indicated that the entire hospital would completely collapse without this one singular doctor.

Meredith is by no means the worst character, but she certainly isn't the best either.

While Amelia should've gotten to say goodbye to Derek and she had a right to be upset that she didn't get to, I can't really blame Meredith because her entire world turned on its axis and she was trying her hardest to keep herself together for her kids (and we all know Meredith is a constant mess on a good day).

In the early seasons, Izzie was a great, complex character (besides her really weird misogynistic hatred for Callie), but was quickly ruined when she slept with George and just went downhill after that.

Breaking up Winston and Maggie was a stupid decision because they were so cute, but I do understand that they had a lot of problems because Maggie and Winston did not really seem to know each other after their marriage.

Whenever the show brings out a new batch of interns, the show kind of shoots itself in the foot because it tries to balance the stories of the old cast and the new cast, but with more and more cast being accumulated, there's just not enough attention for the new members, so the general audience cares much less about them (there are exceptions with characters like Jo and Schmitt becoming fan favorites).
