Let's face it, Grey's Anatomy just plain sucks ass without Dr. Preston Burke. Maybe it could've been pulled off if Dr. Addison Montgomery hadn't taken off to L.A. and morphed into some flaky Bridget Jones knock-off. They handled his departure well at the end of last season, but these first few episodes have been presented with giant, infected plot holes because they didn't give any closure to the void left behind.
Don't mistake this as any kind of sympathy for Isaiah Washington. He dug his own grave. (What makes him even weirder is that he played a gay man in Spike Lee's Get On The Bus) But the powers-that-be totally Bobby Knight-ed the situation by letting the whole thing drag on far too long and taking action almost past the point of relevance. Not to mention introducing new characters so irritating they induce both nausea and violent tendencies. Meredith, pretty, pretty please sucker-punch Lexie, just once. If not to avenge your a-hole Dad's abuse, do it to make me keep Grey's on my TiVo.
