Unfortunately I was unsurprised about the demise of the storyline. <BR/><BR/>But fear not! There will be others out there paving the way for good story lines with their acting skills and accurate portrayals of lesbians. <BR/><BR/>Life moves forward, with or without the ignorant. I am no longer watching ABC and Grey's wasn't interesting to me before the Callie/Erica storyline and it's not interesting now. <BR/><BR/>For those of you that love Brooke Smith and want to see an inspiring movie, check out "Iron Jawed Angels." It's an inspiring film about the suffragette movement during the early 1900's in the U.S. (1917-1920) Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>TweyeliteLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216609962750400092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-32012607490382640782008-11-10T00:08:00.000-08:002008-11-10T00:08:00.000-08:00Exactly.I adore, even LOVE, Sara, but it's not eno...Exactly.<BR/><BR/>I adore, even LOVE, Sara, but it's not enough to keep me with the show after what they've done.<BR/><BR/>And I also get this feeling they're going to kill off Erica... so typical,the dead lesbian trope.

The show is not that good that I have to watch it (see 30 rock for example). I don't understand their "reasoning" and I really don't like the way they treated Brooke Smith. <BR/><BR/>And I have said it before, Erica Hahn (besides Bailey) was the only character that was portrayed realistic enough, you won't become a high class surgeon by being indecisive and whiny.nkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213153908654076225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-26622157490731121612008-11-08T18:44:00.000-08:002008-11-08T18:44:00.000-08:00Too sad.
