Ask Matt

Question: I was wondering about your reaction when Cristina said "take him" when Teddy said she wanted Owen on Grey's Anatomy. My DVR cut off right at that moment so I couldn't tell if Cristina realized what she said. From what I've read in several synopses, she didn't. I've stuck with Grey's for longer than many, but this one may do it for me. Owen and Cristina have been the best thing about the show recently, and this just seems absurd. Is it that the show has been on long enough, or is Shonda too spread out with Private Practice, too. I kept with Private Practice until the early part of the second season and then gave up. What do you think?—Myra

Matt Roush: Well, I can’t blame you for giving up on Private Practice. And obviously, this question came in before last week’s Grey’s episode aired, in which the fallout from Cristina’s impulsive blurt was thoroughly explored—ending in Owen’s passionate declaration that he wasn’t about to step aside for mere surgery. Gotta think the romantics liked that moment. It’s also another good example of why fans should just let these folks tell their stories and stop screaming about jumping sharks every time someone says or does something they don’t like. This is the kind of show that’s always going to create hurdles for relationships. Even Meredith and Derek fought last week, but they got over it. So should we all. And that’s my Dear TV Abby advice for the week.

Welcome to Free For All Friday, your post for things that you love, that aren't Cristina/Owen centric! Is there a Cristina/Alex fic that you love and think that everybody should read? How about an Owen/Addison? Is there a video you love that's Mer/Der or fan art that's Mark and Callie? Post them here. Did you write a phenomenal and painstakingly long Burke/Cristina fic that you think others might like? Post it here (seriously, make nursebadass happy!)

A few notes:

1. No flaming ships. This is a free-for-all post because we're allowed to love other things. If it's not your cup of tea, bite your tongue and move on.
   
2. No flaming posters. This is and has been a community rule since the beginning of in_the_after. Again, difference of opinions are allowed. If you don't like it, if you flame posters, you will be banned. No exceptions.
   
3. Reply to this post with links. Not with 10,000,000,000 word fics. Reply with links, not 2800x3900 pixel images. Nobody likes it when they can't scroll down or find the comment button because it's hidden by a mega huge picture of a naked Mark.
   
4. Got something exciting happening in your life that isn't related to Grey's Anatomy? Share it!
   
5. Have fun. Be creative. Who gives a crap whether or not you love Burke or Alex or MerDer? This is the Friday free-for-all. Everybody gets a little bit of love. Post away!

Cheers from your mods!

Je t'aime beaucoup!
