Figured it out

I've been trying to figure out my fascination with Grey's Anatomy for a while. And while Izzie used to be a damned good reason to like the show, it didn't seem like it quite justified the level of rabid attention and emotional investment that I was giving it. And then a couple of weeks ago, it hit me...

The various (admittedly fucked up) relationships in the show, are really just one-dimensional representations of different aspects of real relationships I (and I hope some of you, or I'm going to sound like a pretty big nut job) have with people. I'm not saying I actually have relationships with anyone exactly like those on the show. They are basically caricatures, but some of them ring true, and often you find yourself cheering for the resolution that perhaps you'd like to see.

Or maybe I'm over-analyzing, and I'm actually just a big bag of crazy.
