i was going to write a post but i’ll just answer here lol

episode 1 thoughts:

did not know maggie had a bf or Jackson had a gf or that teddy and koracick’s sexcapades were broadcasted to an entire OR. i would have rewatched s16 to remind myself of these things before tonight, but i did not want to

also highkey forgot jackson had a kid until his gf showed up 

Jackson and jo are ew. fuck krista vernoff.

honestly so mad that amelink didn’t even have *1* scene. they were the only reason i was watching in the first place

episode 2 thoughts:

i don’t care about teddy or owen or that mess. i don’t. the only things i will say are that (1) i will never forgive the writers for messing up teddy’s character so much that i now hate her; (2) they deserve each other; (3) i’m really upset that koracick can’t seem to redeem himself. 

look i think they’re going to try and replicate the jolex best friends to lovers thing with jo/jackson, and if that happens, i will throw a tantrum. not just because nothing can match up to jolex, but also because i love jackson and jo’s friendship and i need it to stay exactly that way – a friendship

also don’t like merluca. i appreciate the mental health storyline they’ve got with Andrew but i don’t really want to see more of him and Meredith together. part of me ships Meredith x cormac hayes, but also cormac seems too good for her. 

nico still has the personality of a tennis ball. glasses is still annoying. schmico is still a poor replacement for what calzona had. 

irdc about whatever nonsense webber and catherine had/have going on. also webber bringing that mom into the hospital was plain irresponsible. 

i have no idea what maggie’s boyfriend’s name is, nor when/where/why/how that relationship started, but i like them together!

SO MUCH DOMESTIC AMELIA AND LINK I’M IN HEAVEN!!! i adore them and honestly was annoyed that the episode wasn’t focused entirely around them + baby + grey’s kids, especially since some genius decided not to feature them at all in ep 1…also, just for the record, they’re single-handedly carrying the show at this point 😌

on a side note, before i saw an actual child (as opposed to an infant) run out and demand food, there was a split-second where i thought amelia and link named their kid “bailey” and forgot they have a nephew by the same name. goes to show the level of faith i have in the writers at this point

“that's why I never take mine off, except for surgery.” — EXCUSE ME? they really are just going to pretend Alex is okay, huh

On that note, I really can’t handle Jo giving Link romantic advice right now, it’s too sad

That being said, I am here for this new Jo & Jackson & Link brotp the show seems to be developing. Jo & Link for obvious reasons, but I’m surprised by how well Jackson works his way into there too…and, at this point, any storyline not focused on his abysmal love life is a good one

 “you call the ER the pit? why?” “…i dunno.” — this was funny. I like this new doctor a lot more than Deluca, and honestly, Cristina has good taste. I hope he and Meredith at least become good friends, if not something more.

“Light a candle.” — okay, not gonna lie, Tom was acting like an asshole tonight, and I didn’t care for it. I wish the writers would figure out something else for him to do besides fuck-up-and-reveal-something-about-his-past-in-the-apology. However, this was a really sweet moment, and Bailey lighting that candle at the end beautifully paralleled the time when the doctors all lit one for Cristopher.

Teddy and Owen’s plot was actually somewhat entertaining, but Teddy definitely can and should do better. Something about Owen saying that he “never should have given [her] that ring” just didn’t sit right with me.

“We’re talking about Owen, right?” So anyway, we should set up a gofundme to buy the grey’s writers some calendars

Amelia and Link better be endgame because they both deserve happiness and that’s that

But I do have to admit that Link has every right to walk away if he chooses to do so; if the timelines really do line up the way the writers want us to think, Amelia should have gotten a paternity test as soon as she realized she was pregnant, and I can see why Link’s feeling like he can’t really trust her at the moment.
