You don’t want to enrage the people who have been watching one show for almost 20 years. Every fandom has some topics that are best not mentioned if you don’t want to be bombarded with angry comments or downvoted straight to Reddit hell. Sometimes it has to do with what happened on the show, sometimes it has to do with the cast and crew, and sometimes it’s just little everyday things that turn out to be annoying.
Here are 5 things you never want to mention to a Grey’s Anatomy fan, unless you are prepared for a violent attack, as shared by Redditors:
“Grey’s Anatomy”
What could be more annoying than the show’s constantly confusing title? Not only that, but the title comes from the name of the main character, Meredith Grey, making it even more offensive to the fanbase. After all, it only takes a minute to spell check, especially with Google at your fingertips.
“Jackson and Maggie were so cute together!”
The majority of Grey’s Anatomy fans agree that Jackson and Maggie were the worst couple to ever appear on the show. Whether that has to do with a complete lack of chemistry between the actors or the fact that they were technically a stepbrother and stepsister, it doesn’t matter.
“Krista Vernoff was the best showrunner Grey’s ever had”
If there’s one person the fandom will dislike no matter what they say, it’s Krista Vernoff, who made some very unpopular decisions during her tenure. Getting rid of fan favorites April Kepner and Arizona Robbins due to the show’s need to “downsize” was the one that still irks the audience the most.
“Alex’s exit was perfectly written”
Though there are some fans who would wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, others tend to believe that Alex Karev had the messiest exit from the show. Cowardly leaving his entire life in Seattle to reunite with Izzie was not something anyone would have expected from the character.
“The musical episode is the best of the show”
Grey’s Anatomy’s musical episode is known to be so notoriously bad that it tops all lists of the worst TV moments ever. Even the cast admits it wasn’t their best performance, and the show could have done without it. That’s what happens when you mindlessly jump on trends.
