    Grey's Anatomy Post McDreamy

    Millions of people were devastated when Shonda Rhimes killed off Dr. Derek Shepherd from her hit television series Grey’s Anatomy. Upset fans vowed never to watch the show again, but Rhimes insisted the show would go on without him. With the new season premiering in 24 hours, discuss what kind of effect Derek’s absence will have on the show, its huge following, and the ratings. Is Rhimes’s writing strong enough to carry the show forward without the McDreamy star who so many tuned in each week to look at?

    • With many deaths that this series brings, I often feel a dark void when watching the show. This definitely changes the dynamic of the show immensely. So much of the story line was about Merideth and Derek, for about 10 seasons I would say. We, at least I did, loved seeing a couple that had to go through so many trials and tribulations end up together and build a life together. All that is now gone. So what is the point? Well, I think the point is that life continues to go on even though our favorite parts of it begins to vanish. – caitlinndwyer 9 years ago

    • First and foremost, Meredith will definitely be effected by his absence. She now is a single mom who has to raise their three children without their father. Shonda's writing is strong enough, as she has proven season after season, but sometimes shows just run their course. It's been on the air for ten years now. Even without factoring the death of Derek, at what point do you just call it quits? Another show that lost its main characters was One Tree Hill. Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton both left, but the show continued on for a few more seasons. At the end of the day, it really just comes down to the fans and if they're still engrossed in the show. – diehlsam 8 years ago

    This is a great list of resources for writers! We were just discussing Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts” in my Craft of Writing class the other day. Thanks for the info and guidance!

    Essential Books for Writers

    I was hesitant to watch this show at first because the pilot episode didn’t really appeal to me. However, after giving it a couple more episodes, I was hooked. I had not reflected on the use and importance of dance in this show. I did think to myself during the episode where Piper and Alex dance at Taystee’s good bye party how strange it seemed for them to be dancing and for things to seem “normal” in prison. Interesting article!

    Dancing in Orange is the New Black

    Interesting article. I hadn’t given much thought to Shamalyan’s work since The Sixth Sense as nothing of his since that film has really impressed me. It is difficult for a director to start out with a hit right out of the gate, just as it is for an author or musician, because the bar has been set and everything from that point on will always be compared to it. Any future work will never really stand on its own but always be compared to the previous big hit.
