Reviewing “Losing My Religion”(Greys Anatomy)
Well, this wasn’t the easiest episode to watch especially because I had no prior familiarity with the series… I did not catch all names… I will mention the plot when needed… It started out comically with background sound effects/music to that effect. Slowly it started getting more “Soapy”( containing elements of a Soap Opera). The Doctors were planning a prom(I didn’t exactly catch why). In the meanwhile there was considerable drama which is food for plots. “Chief” was trying to figure out who cut the “ellvad wires”(not sure about the spelling). Interviews/questioning began. What struck me here is the impressions that Dr. Yang gave- She seemed very uncomfortable with her work and asked “Chief” how he does it without becoming emotionally invested in it… Meridith’s dog is terminally ill and is put down… Later it becomes apparent that she has to choose between two men she cares for… Denny proposes to Izzy but ends up dying a bit later and Izzy becomes heartbroken and believes she is not cut out tp be a surgeon and quits her internship…. There were more plot happenings but no more that are important to delve into here. I believe the reason this episode is called “Losing my Religion”, is because all of the personal challenges faced vould possibly make one question their faith in God, even if for a moment.
I did not feel a connection to the characters, it feels like the show might be about “who slept with who” or “who is going to cheat on who”. I could be wrong. Unfortunately it seems sex & cheating could be recurring themes within the series. again, I could be wrong… please comment.
