Grey's Anatomy moving to days

It is official. Grey's Anatomy has jumped the shark. If you haven't watched the episode that aired yesterday (15 February) and you don't want to know what happens, stop reading now. I was both delighted and annoyed by the last five minutes of the show last night - delighted because one of my favorite characters returned and his sexiness is wonderful to behold, annoyed because that character is dead. Grey's has always sort of felt like a high-end soap opera, with better-looking characters and far more clever dialogue. But now that they have dipped into that 'the dead come back' well, I fear we can expect the following:
  • The introduction of Meredith's evil twin, who returns to Seattle to kidnap their mother in an attempt to wrestle the estate out of Meredith's greedy grasp.
  • The revelation that Dr. Callie Iphigenia O'Malley is the love child of Dr. Webber (the chief) and Dr. Ellis Grey.
  • The discovery that Christina is a Cylon-inspired robot who is cloned upon death.
  • The love triangle developing between Addison, McSteamy, and Alex takes a dramatic shift when McSteamy and Alex hook up.
So my prediction for the next episode is that Meredith will somehow be saved. Look for the moment when she takes her first breath after almost drowning. We'll be forced to sit through yet another proposal, because it takes nearly losing your loved one to figure out you want to get married, and we'll have a double wedding as the O'Malley marriage dissolves.

If they don't keep Meredith alive, they'll have to change the name of the show ... which is sort of crazy/stupid/impossible ?!?
