Greys Anatomy Season 10 Episode 17 Christina Yang's Bufferfly Effect [VIDEO] Two Different Futures With Owen Turn The ABC Show Into A Beautiful Movie

Greys Anatomy season 10 Episode 17 played out more like the movie 'Sliding Doors' than anything actually occurring. And I must admit, I loved it. After season 10 of Greys has been dull and obvious, repeating the same storylines,  episode 17 of Greys Anatomy was unexpected and gave me chills like it hasn't been able to do in years. Christina Yang is our heroine, and she doesn't not disappoint in this episode.

Greys Anatomy has been going downhill as we all know after a dragged out season 10. It feels like the every episode pathetically moves along by the background music, either light and staccato when we are supposed to find the characters and situations light and humorous, while the dark gritty noise anticipates something interesting is going to happen with a little twist. After 10 season of Greys Anatomy, how dumb do the writers think we are? But episode 17 regained me as a viewer when I was just about to cancel my Thursday night DVR on ABC.

The Greys Anatomy episode 17 was all about Christina Yang's future and how life is like the Butterfly effect. One little change on the planet can sway your entire life. Christina's life wavered between how her life would play out if one of her patients decided to live or if he opted for dying after she saved his life but he was paralyzed from his spine injuries. In the latter Greys situation Christina would be with Owen for life, but Yang would be miserable giving up her life to her children and resenting Owen for turning her into the woman she always decided not be become. It was strange yet awesome to see Christina with children and pregnant. Greays Anatomy had never been so intriguing.

The other Christina goes on to live her life without Owen and Christina thrives. Yet, Owen does not, acquiring a drinking problem and ultimately losing his job due to the sadness of losing Yang.

The path that Yang takes is not known yet because just as she is going to decide to be with Owen, another Butterfly effect occurs, this time with Meredith Grey asking Christina for help, ultimately changing the course of Christina's life.

The little futuristic details were a little cheesy. The clear phones, gray streaks in hair, and futuristic scrubs all felt forced, but I still didn't mind the creativity.

I loved this episode but many viewers feel differently. In an TV show where nothing really new happens, why not have a unbelievably written episode thrown in that focuses on one character that we have followed for years?
