"The problem is that we are half through the season and have yet to see them talk about anything. A casual viewer would think they are just fuck buddies, which at the moment is all I have seen on screen, fighting then shagging and breakfast with Callie and Arizona. Heck even Mark and Lexie are more in tune with each other."
I agree. Maybe I buyed too much into the concept of their „mature and great love story” last season but when you compare their relationship as it used to be, to what’s happening to them this year, it’s laughable. Hard to grasp they are even the same couple. I’m not naive and I know that no relationship is perfect nor do I expect them to sail smoothly and in tune all the time. I was defending Oeen when this season started and people were criticising him for not giving Cristina time in OR or snarking about her obsession with surgeries. But the writers never know when to stop and I can’t buy it that the same guy, who last year used to notice every wrinkle of distress on Cristina’s face and dragged her into nearest supply closet to sort things out, now is so absolutly, painfully dense and oblivious. She almost breaks out in front of him and his reaction is to bark out „See what?” and carry on as usual. Come on. There is like zero verbal communication between those two.
I’ve never expected Owen to be „perfect”. He wasn’t perfect last season, was he? Hard-headed man who refuses to get help, breaks out with his fiancee via email and let his mother believe that he is still in Iraq. No, he was not perfect and I wouldn’t want him to be. I only want him to be a man, strong decisive and all, without resorting to agressive fits (like McQueen I believe not everything should and could be excused by his PTSD).
