So . . . it's not wrong to start laughing during yet another Jeffrey Dean Morgan death scene because freaking Snow Patrol kicked in, is it? Because HAHAHAHA oh man. That storyline went down the tubes in a hurry.

The good news is, I only have the episode with Meredith's near-death experience left and then I am done with Grey's Anatomy. Sorry if you're a fan, but oh my god. A little drama goes a LONG WAY. Piling on the drama just makes me laugh, and killing off the heart patient with a random stroke after a successful transplant, which I cannot believe I just typed, and then cuing up "Chasing Cars" is an extremely hilarious way to kick off my birthday. Thanks, Grey's Anatomy!

And I am thinking that Izzie dodged a bullet here, because holy shit, if Denny's that pushy when he's near death, imagine how would have been healthy.

What you said, how Denny could have come across as creepy so easily.

Oh yeah. Especially in his first few scenes with Izzie, before they've really gotten to know each other. I was totally succumbing to JDM's charm, and still thinking in the back of my head, "Whoa, did he just say that to a woman he doesn't even know?" And Izzie's all, "ZOMG, hot heart patient flirting with me," but I'm thinking that if he'd walked up to her in a bar and started spouting that crap, she would have found a reason to be elsewhere in a hurry. I hope so, anyway.

Funny thing is, though, the thing that just totally wrecked the character for me whasn't even one of his creepy flirtations. It was when he was angrily telling Izzie why his life sucks and death is not a bad option for himself anymore. He described himself as "a strong, virile horse of a man" stuck in his wasted body. I just went, "Oh, Denny. Did you just say that with no irony whatsoever? I'm sorry, but we can't be friends anymore." I just, who talks like that?
