It's Friday! You know how i always get excited about Fridays.
To be honest though, my Friday started last night when the new season of Grey's Anatomy began. Haha... This time, a man has been used as a chew-toy by a bear because his brother touched a cub and angered the mother bear. This man - Mr. Robinson eventually died - not before chiding his brother for being reckless and according to him "having an early mid-life crisis by marrying his rebound girl". The younger Robinson was later found to have a huge tumour in his brain that cannot be removed via surgery. Apparently, one of the symptoms of brain tumour is spontaneity. Throughout it all, his wife, a nameless ex-waitress with less than perfect looks, and presumably less than perfect life, who thought she married a man who loved her despite only knowing him for a few weeks before the wedding was standing there, trying to grasp the situation. she's always known she's the rebound girl, but really, did he marry her because he had a brain tumour? She asked Meredith in the end - am i a symptom of his brain tumour?
That is a very neat and powerful line. Is she just a symptom of his brain tumour or did he really marry her because he loved her?
Imagine how she must have felt if she were a real person. She was a waitress who landed a rich and good-looking man, who was good to her and treated her well. In the land of Pretty Woman and the thousands of other fairytale stories, they should have lived happily ever after. But in TV land, she discovers that she is just a symptom. Not even a rebound girl, but a symptom of his ever-enlarging tumour. Argh... heart break.
I don't know if anyone would be able to recover from this trauma fully without some odd psychological scarring. would you?
