Okay, at this point in my life, there's only one show I watch religiously: Grey's Anatomy. The last two episodes have caused me physical pain. You see, the main characters, the swooping eagles of the show--Merideth, Derek, Christina, and Burke--mean nothing to me. They're interesting in a surreal sort of way. There are two characters I DO care about--Izzie and George. They seem very real to me...they're best friends and confidants, and they're flawed. They don't soar quite as high as the rest, but they do have a depth of emotion that is the anchor of this show -- when George's dad died, I had to consider what my own response will be to my father's passing. When Izzie lost Denny, the man for whom she threw away her career, I had to examine just what I would do if my own beloved were dying and there was precious little I could do about it. So, they affect me. And, secretly, I've always wished they got together. For one thing, I married my best...
