As Season 10 (and the 6th for our favorite character Owen Hunt) approaches, I’m sure we all have our own looooong lists of things we are dying to see written for Owen. (Hey, many of us have enough to fill up 5 seasons of a Cristina/Owen spinoff!) So here’s some food for thought to get the ball rolling on things we’d like to happen for the perfect match for our other awesome and badass favorite character, Cristina Yang. There’s a comment section at the end for you to add yours!
1. More Owen and Cristina TOGETHER! Enough arguing, enough boring separation. The only desirable, entertaining and remotely logical possibility assuming both Cristina and Owen are working at Mercy Death, is resolution in favor of Owen and Cristina being together. (Owen wouldn't be able to stay where his heart was broken daily so let’s get on with the togetherness.) The show has clearly and carefully established over the past 5 years that Owen will never love anyone other than Cristina (and vice verse.) Owen has chosen Cristina every season, twice a season. This couple have been through ALL of the trials by fire. What makes this show electric and what is really exciting is the prospect of a triumphant Cristina and Owen making it through and taking on the world together as a badass team. That’s where your ratings will come from ABC!
2. More logic on the child issue. This didn't need to be an issue but it was made one with a bizarre accidental pregnancy in S7. But it’s well-established that Owen can’t be happy apart from Cristina. And, I argue, if Cristina doesn't want to be the mother of a child who is part of both her and the love of her life, she’s not going to magically feel that way about an adopted kid (no matter how adorable.) Let Owen’s choice for C stand. HOWEVER, Cristina STILL not having her tubes tied knowing birth control doesn't work for her is highly significant (can’t wait for Owen to ask the elephant-in-the-room question about why she didn't and still hasn't) and means that the door is open logic-wise for the wonderfully complex, brave, badass Cristina to undergo further self-discovery about the many possibilities for her life with Owen. Didn't this show say something about change being the only constant?
3. More mentoring. We all loved, and miss, the original Owen/Alex mentorship and were warming up to the Owen/George mentorship when it, too was taken from us. Unfortunately, the Owen/April dynamic is simply not interesting due to the basic natures of their characters and cannot be forced to be so. Alex could still be an interesting mentee (not necessarily in the trauma
realm, but in the general professional sense and being a man sense.) An intriguing possibility could be Owen being something of a professional mentor to – go with me a minute – Meredith (remember, we've been told Meredith and Cristina and Jackson and April are all the same age.) Meredith and Owen? Now THAT could be twisted!
