I know it is a hallmark of the program, but I do think that there is simply too many different couples being focused on at once, on the program, at this point. I like how they've let Mer-Der to become a sound coupling, without all the drama of previous seasons. I like the drama around these two characters are now all about their careers. So that doesn't add to the cacaphony that I'm referring to. However:
- Lexie/George
- Cristina/Owen
- Izzie/Denny/Alex
- Callie/Mark/Who's Next?
Too much. Personally, I'd like to see them focus on Lexie/George, and Izzie/Alex (not Denny), and that's it. Let the attendings be attendings, i.e., teachers.
