Hotep,Last week was the much anticipated Grey’s Anatomy season premiere. Personally, I think it’s the best hospital drama show ever and I’m from the old school where the likes of “St. Elsewhere” (Denzel Washington), Trapper John, MD (The ever so lovely Madge Sinclair), and City of Angels (Blair Underwood) had viewers captivated from week to week. Na mean?
I applaud Ms. Shonda Rhimes, the show’s creator. The chemistry amongst the show’s characters leaves no room for boring moments. For example, one of the most memorable seasons of the show’s existence, was when Dr. Stevens literally killed the one true love she so deeply desired, to ensure he would be the recipient of the next available heart.
This particular episode hit me and my man Chino directly in the gut. Real recognize real. At that point, Dr. Stevens was ride or die, for sure! I’m feeling the show to the point where I thought about writing my own episode… with a death row twist, of course. I would introduce a new character to the show, Dr. Jalen Baxter. He’s an orthopedic surgeon who will team up with Dr. Torres.
All of the females in the hospital would be crazy about him. Dr. Torres even considers going straight just to get a shot at him. In the tradition of the other sexy male doctors (McDreamy, McSteamy and McYummy), the females nickname him “McMocha,” sweet, stimulating and addictive. LOL
Check out this storyline. Dr. Baxter’s first case is a death row prisoner who shredded his knee playing basketball. After several conversations leading up to the surgery, Dr. Baxter begins to see the human being within the death row prisoner. After repairing the prisoner’s knee, Dr. Baxter’s intrigue leads him to do a Google search of his latest patient. What he finds is shocking and life altering.
He realizes the knee he just repaired doesn’t belong to “the worst of the worst.” It’s the knee of a family man who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his wife. Needless to say, Dr. Baxter becomes an avid supporter of the prisoner’s fight for freedom as well as an educator to the hospital staff, about the injustice concerning the death penalty. That’s what’s up!
Holla if ya hear me Ms. Rhimes. I’ve got much more in store. Word is bond!
Yo Chino! This one is for you Dunn

I am so loving the whole Dr. McMocha! That's exactly what this show needs. Love It!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's good Nyse?
ReplyDeleteI hated when Dr. Burke left the show. he would be a tough act to follow and the show is still missing his presence. That's why I think Dr. McMocha would be perfect for the Grey's cast. His personal life experiences and his societal views would be the hot topic at the water cooler on Friday mornings. Word is bond!
Stay Up,
