Looking Out My Back Door

Shonda Rhimes: Genius

I've probably written about her before, but just to underscore it, Shonda Rhimes, creator of "Grey's Anatomy," is brilliant. When she writes episodes, you know it. Part two of a three part storyline just aired, and it was killer on many levels. The ending of part two, with Meredith in heaven, meeting the bomb squad guy who was blown to bits in front of her and Denny, Izzy's love, was sublime. And yet...

I was originally not going to mention Rhimes' genius and just write this: she took my breath away during the scenes when medical personnel were trying to match victims with family members. When one particular person identified his (now) late wife by viewing a Polaroid photo, it sucked the air out of me. I could relate. I know how he felt.

I know.

I know.

I know.
