First off, don\u2019t mind the title of this blog.\u00a0 I just came up with it randomly.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t going to be an excerpt of anything like that.\u00a0 Instead, I\u2019m once again talking about that diverse piece of media that we call television.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I started watching two shows that I never thought I would ever watch before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The first one is a pretty popular show that I have finally been convinced to watch, Grey\u2019s Anatomy.\u00a0 I am already on the second season, and why I may not be addicted, I have been doing a healthy amount of binging.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second is a reality TV show that I just finished watching in Earth and Space Science called\u00a0<\/span>Stars on Mars.\u00a0 The show was pretty light-hearted and kept me engaged throughout.\u00a0 It was a competitive show, and since that was part of my class work, it was pretty cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GREY\u2019S ANATOMY\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think everyone has likely heard of the famous medical drama, Grey\u2019s Anatomy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t, the show is about a group of interns, the main one being Meredith Grey, and their journeys as they grapple with life as doctors who basically go through the motions of humanity. <\/span>
<\/span>While watching this show, I already decided that I don\u2019t like a couple of characters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first ones I really don\u2019t like is Alex Karev.\u00a0 He\u2019s one of those interns that are cocky and think they\u2019re better than everybody, all while being vile and making crude jokes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now he does have some moments when he\u2019s an actual good guy.\u00a0 Like it was this one episode when he was helping this kid get from under his abusive father. Karev showed he could be humane in that episode.\u00a0 But I heard that he actually gets some great character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I guess I\u2019ll have to wait and see that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of people likely disagree with me, but I kind of don\u2019t like Meredith. I don\u2019t know why, her personality just seems like a lot to me.\u00a0 I know she\u2019s just stressed with her mother and stuff, but a lot of moments are filled with her projecting.\u00a0 I promise I\u2019m not trying to be different; that\u2019s just literally how it is for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, back after a day because I caught myself doom scrolling with 8 minutes of class left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason I started watching the show in the first place was because YouTube shorts wouldn\u2019t leave me alone and kept giving me Grey Anatomy edits. Therefore, after seeing some interesting cases that I had to watch to finish, I just said \u201cWhat the heck.\u201d\u00a0 If it gets to the point that I need to stop watching them before I become addicted, I know how to stop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I do want to mention one of the interesting cases that I\u2019ve seen so far. \u00a0 In an episode of Season 2, this man was in the hospital because he was eating dolls.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 He was eating doll heads, ten of them to be exact.\u00a0 So, when his body started acting up, he had to go and get surgery to get dolls out of his gut.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t get it.\u00a0 I honestly thought he was a brewing serial killer, especially since he swallowed them with the hair.\u00a0 Actually, the whole Grey crew wanted to<\/span> know why he did it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t ask him until the end of course.\u00a0 The guy said he got a kind of satisfaction from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He asked them if they wanted to know exactly how.\u00a0 I was so mad when they said they would rather be left in the dark.\u00a0 Like, to me that just seemed like lazy writing.\u00a0 Maybe the writers just couldn\u2019t think of a mind-blowing reason for the plot.\u00a0 I mean, you can get real creative with a person who eats dolls. \u00a0 It was like a doctor episode of Criminal Minds for a moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

STARS ON MARS\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Star on Mars is a competition show that I just finished watching on Tubi.\u00a0 The stars are just a random diverse selection of celebrities. I’m talking about famous pop stars to ice skaters in the Olympics.\u00a0 Mars is a space station simulator built in the middle of a desert somewhere in Australia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I did it again, argh, Insta won\u2019t let me work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this Australian simulator, the stars stay there for a month, and each day someone gets eliminated or extracted as they said after doing difficult tasks, until there is one brightest star left in the galaxy.\u00a0 I know it sounds kind of straightforward, which it’s kind of is, but the drama was still there.\u00a0 I mean, there was some drama because people wanted to win so badly that it turned into a whole political game.\u00a0 A great example of that was this ongoing feud between Ariel Winter and Lance Armstrong.\u00a0 I don\u2019t feel like getting into that.\u00a0 But the contestants that were picked were mostly people I didn\u2019t know, so it was interesting learning about these new people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

There were a lot of comedians placed in the game that actually added a fresh humor aspect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there were a lot of sad moments when the crew would eliminate themselves for the people they grew close with or because they missed \u201cEarth.\u201d Actually, the whole time I was watching this, I felt a bit claustrophobic for them, because they\u2019re isolated for a whole month with only the production team as contact outside the experiment.\u00a0 And it didn\u2019t help that they had to work in the hot desert every day.\u00a0 It gave the challenge depth because I knew I couldn\u2019t see myself doing it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s my small talk about what I\u2019ve been consuming lately.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
