Silly Fuggers…

Go Fug Yourself on Ellen Pompeo:

Although, honestly, if we found out next season that Meredith is actually the Princess of Darkness, it would be sort of an interesting supernatural twist to a show that’s already kind of sliding off the rails. Imagine the angst attendant on Meredith’s learning that her destiny is not to be a surgeon, but rather to serve the Dark Lord by causing chaos and pain at Seattle Grace, and plucking the occasional soul for her Master’s collection.

No, no. People! Someone already DID that show. Set in a geographically impossible Seattle, no less. And Yeardley Smith played the nurse who was the grim reaper for old, sick people after her transfer from the accidental death unit, thus destroying the consistency of the show’s canon and internal theology, if you can call it that.

Sigh. Now I’m all sad about how that show gleefully trampled over its own canon, virtually screaming “suck it, fanpersons!” before Showtime abruptly cancelled it to make room for more highbrow nudity or something.

Hey, speaking of which, it’s the feast of the Ascension tomorrow! I had to explain this to my roommate, namely the part where Jesus hung around for a few weeks after he was resurrected to chill with his followers.
