The domestic violence was mostly dropped until the mid-season finale, and the Mer/Nathan/Maggie triangle also disappeared after three episodes. The premiere aside, most episodes have felt like fillers to me. And while they were good episodes (not the best, but still good), I wonder what made them to decide to resort to filler episodes when they had so much potential stories ready to be told. Then again, all that new info from the S12 finale was pretty sudden. I know there were nods as to why Jo couldn't marry Alex, but then it was revealed that there was something really crazy which hampered her life. Jo wasn't even her real name too. I feel like that was a big disservice to her character and the audience, in which she had basically been lying for the last few years. Although this storyline was just getting started, it seems merely for shock value. Same with the love triangle. Which reminds me, there's theory floating around that Meredith will get together with Riggs... But years down the line, she will get Alzheimer's and start calling him Derek. Does anyone think this would/could happen?
