Choking back some mcvomit

Well, much to our disappointment, the season finale of Grey's Anatomy was as painfully annoying and incredibly lame as the rest of this past season. If you can't think of any reasons not to care what happens on this show anymore, I can give you a few.

Meredith & McDreamy (but mainly Meredith) are pissing us off.
We thought that if only they'd finally get together, they'd live happily ever after. Instead, Meredith decides that now that she has the boyfriend any girl would kill to have (McDreamy, Meredith, come on!), she's got commitment anxiety or intimacy issues or some other bullshit. Whatever. And then the ever-so-obvious foreshadowing hints towards Derrick hooking up with Meredith's little sister. What an unexpected twist of events! (Disgusting and unnecessary, but still unexpected.)

Burke and Christina DIDN'T EVEN GET MARRIED
AFTER ALL OF THAT? Dr. Burke practicing his vows was probably the most tear-jerking part of the season finale, but Christina never got to hear them. The one couple we could depend on to stay together has fallen apart. And what for these two next season? Will we watch them deftly avoid each other in the halls until a surgery at Seattle Grace inevitably reunites them? (Gigantic yawn.)

Kallie is the new chief.
WTF. Really, Kallie was the most qualified? More so than McDreamy, Dr. Burke, McSteamy, Addison? We don't even like Kallie. She seems to have made George go away. Which brings me to the next point...

George and Izzie...aren't George and Izzie anymore.
I realize that they've both had a hard year and all, what with Denny dying and George's dad as well. But is it me, or do both of these characters bring to mind the words over-analytical, depressing, whiny, and annoying? Where are the old George and Izzie? When is the last time either of them laughed or said something remotely amusing? And if they really are in love, then please God, don't ever let me fall in love. They seem so miserable...
And, finally,

There's a spin-off.
One character that I was actually starting to like, Addison, is going to LA to hook up with the guy from Wings. But I doubt that'll happen until at least the second season.
