I'm not ashamed to say I love her, and I'm not the only one. But bring on the snark. We can take it.

Read through the old thread. People started calling her "Meh" because they thought she was boring. Those of us who love her use it because it's easier to type than Meredith.

I don't get the Meh nickname.


It comes from the premiere - people were "meh" about her, and it just stuck.

Aah! JeS 47, you're too quick for me. (Comes from being a beginner, I guess - slow poster.)

I heart Meh. But I heart DrunkMeh even more. In fact, I kind of wish DrunkMeh had her *own* thread. ;-)

I'm beginning to question whether there really is such a being as non-drunk Meh. Inebriation is fast becoming her status quo.

Wanna give a big shout out to all my fellow passengers on the Meh love train. God that sounded lame, even for me.

Its only been up and running an hour or so but is anyone else exhausted yet, from bouncing around a bazillion different topics/threads ? Damm, I need a nap....or a mojito to wake me up. Is the bar tender here yet ? I hear the tips are better in the Spoiler thread.

But she's so much funnier when she's drunk. Though she can pull off the drama too. When Ellis was being admitted, Meh looked so vulnerable and like a scared little kid.

Beffers, can you reserve me a window seat please? I am a woman and I love Meredith because she says things we are too ashamed to say ourselves. I love Meredith because she has no sense of pride anymore and speaks her mind. I do, however, love Inebriated Meredith slightly more than sober Meredith, and blonde more than brunette.

I think I was the first on to admit I love Meredith haha, I can handle the snark, I just find her character to be very likeable.

I co-sign for the love of drunk Meh, as I am a total narcissist too when I drink.

I nominate Ling as tonight's first-shift LoveTrain barback for upping DrunkMeh to "Inebriated Meredith." Hee.

Also with her on the blonde over brunette thing. Dye is your friend, Meh. Dye is your friend.

On the whole blonde vs brown thing have ya noticed how blonde she is in the promo previews for upcoming ep(s) ? It's like they intentionally made her all brown and dowdy in Bring the Pain so that in next week ep she can go out and get one of those empowered I-just-got-dumped-but-I-am-gonna-go-out-and-get-me-a-fabulous-makeover-so-I-don't-look-like-I-got-dumped Makeovers that also have the added benefit of making the Dumper realise what a babe the chick he just dumped is. After 2 weeks of painfully honest, pitiful Meh..I'm all ready to see her bounce back and at least try to stick it to McD and make him realise what a stupid decison he made...in a very subtle female mind game kind of a way..that Addison pulls all the time but Meh never does..so we cut her some slack when she does it.

Does this make any sense whatsover ? My brains are fried from keeping up with all these topics.

I like McDrunky, personally. It sounds hilarious and just so cute at the same time.

I have to join the Meh love train, definitely. She's just a regular human being, trying to deal with a new job, a new boyfriend, a new boyfriend who works with her, a new boyfriend who works with her with a wife, a new boyfriend who works with her with a wife who works with her and a sick mother. I'd be hitting the bottle too. She deals with it pretty well, IMHO.

I heart DrunkMeh, especially b/c she seems to favor tequilla, a choice I totally support. Plus I think I love that she's not your typical plucky heroine. I just always feel like I want to give EP a hug.

Beffers, that would rawk, and I think highlights are a good start. I would love to see her really pulled together and him surprised that she's not devastated.

I believe there has been one episode where I liked Meh. I don't remember the episode title, but I do know it was 2x03. The rest of the time I'm either impartial to her or very, very annoyed. Sorry to burst your bubble and all, but there's something about the character that just doesn't appeal to me.

Okay, so most of the time I hate Meredith. She's whiney and annoying. Until she gets pissed off and chews out McDreamy. Then she's hilarious. And when she's drunk. I like her then too. The rest of the time she SUCKS.

Mostly she just gets on my nerves, but I don't hate the character. At least, not yet. Okay, so I already kinda do. I wish she'd stop moping over Derek because he really isn't even worth it. I would think I'd be amused by her when she's drunk, but I totally wasn't in the last episode. If anything, she was just more annoying than usual. However, I didn't hate her "pick me, love me" speech like some people did. It was kinda pathetic, but people get desperate sometimes, and I think that's understandable, esp. considering so many things in her life are going to shit.

How do I hate Meredith? Let me count the ways (but I don't feel like wasting the time).


I honestly don't know if it's the character or the actress that I don't like. EP annoyed me in Old School as well. When I saw previews for the show I thought I'd probably end up liking the character, but that didn't happen.

I love Meredith; she's vulnerable and tough all at the same time, and she's funny.

I don't care how many posters come in here to tell us how horrible they think she is, they're not going to change my opinion of her.

I don't mean to change anyone's opinion of her because I can see why others would like her. I'm just saying that I don't particularly dig the character, but she's not the worst character in the world, by any means.

She's still Meh, but I feel like with each episode she's growing on me.

Now, what I really want to know, is how she keeps her hair to keep intact like that. Does anybody know what i'm talking about? Its that strand of "bang" that is like superglued to her forehead. It never moves, even when she's walking.

rekkidbraka, I would be honored to tend the bar on the Meredith love train. I will however be honoring Meredith's spirit and be drunk while I am working. Since you also like Meredith, I assume you share her taste for tequila. Margaritas on the rocks or frozen? (I prefer on the rocks.)

Why can't it be both? I'm increasingly thinking that's the case for me, anyway. Most of what grates on me about EP is physical, though, and you can't really hold that against an actress. But god, the annoying voiceovers in her annoying voice.

The show would be so much better if Izzie or Christina were the lead. So sick of every story being some labored metaphor for poor Meh's little life.

The annoying things about EP to me (her lisp mainly and her mousy appearance) are generally physical so I definitely don't hold that against her or the character of Meredith. I also know that she's the lead character so it makes sense for the show to revolve mainly around her, but I don't like them drawing a parallel between her being heartbroken by Derek's decision with a young woman that died after being impaled in a train wreck. It's not anywhere near the same thing and shouldn't be hinted at as if it were.
