Grey's Anatomy: Only the Strong Survive (22x01)

Welp. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm even still doing here.

Cons:

I had sort of willfully forgotten the sad state of the romance arcs in Grey's Anatomy these days, to the point where I really don't give a flying fuck about any romantic subplot, and in the cases where I do care, it's because I want them to break up because I think they're terrible together. Let's run these through really quick.

Jo and Link - I know they want me to care, I know they want me to feel something about Link's brush with death. And Jo is a character I have so much fondness for, I want the best for her, so for her sake I don't want her to suffer a terrible loss, but godddd are they boring. There's just no passion or chemistry between them. I had forgotten they were going through a bit of a tiff with Link being anxious about the new babies. There's this really telling moment where Jo says "he's been my best friend for twenty years" and also talks about him being her only family, and it just pinged to me as the show needing to remind the audience why the stakes are high for Jo here. This deep lifelong friendship between the two of them is something that we never saw, we just get told it exists over and over again in the vain hope that one day it will feel true. And it doesn't.

Bob's Burgers: Til Death Do Us Art (16x02)

This one was quite fun!

Cons:

I honestly could have used more shenanigans from the kids inside of the art show. It was funny to watch Louise play with the dart gun and miss the point of the art, but Gene and Tina just kind of wandered around and were weirded out by some of the odd displays. They could have gotten into some more mischief, I think!
