Grey's Anatomy

Since I was a child I have watched Grey's Anatomy (as I'm sure many others have) and have continued to be amazed at the work of the television series and how it continues to lay out. Recently there was an article posted about a specific recent show aired, about why many of Grey's viewers are giving the specific show a side eye (http://www.eonline.com/news/589338/why-we-re-giving-tonight-s-grey-s-anatomy-a-lot-of-side-eye-our-rants-and-raves). Many are enraged about the outcome of the revealing of Meredith's past, accusing it to not make sense. In my opinion however, it as just another factor in being a television show.

So many seem to not understand why Meredith supposedly just remembered her mom giving birth to this supposed child and then giving it up until now, but if they were willing to look at the bigger picture of the series itself, they would draw a better understanding. Repetitively in this show different members of the cast face obstacles the often times find to hard to bare, and so instead they embody it and try their best to ignore their knowledge of the situation, much like what happens in real life. In my opinion this was a rough time in Meredith's life and instead of  providing the situation some closure, she decided to hide it in hopes of never having to face the situation at all. In return, considering this is a television show, it was the main source of the viewers interests, it drew people in, which is what many television series strive to achieve. I feel that all of these issues were factors of the show, and other viewers disappointment is rather unnecessary.

These sort of situations have appeared countless other times in the show, and the answer/reasoning behind one's problem is the revealed later on.  Although other people may have hoped for a better outcome or answer, considering the wait and suspension in the whole situation, they shouldn't be near as upset, as it does correspond with many of the other situations represented on the show. I wouldn't worry to much though (being someone who often watches the show myself) I'm sure that one episode gone wrong won't convince it's viewers of many years to not tune in again next week.
