Grey's Anatomy 3.22 & 3.23: 'The Other Side of This Life'
AKA Dell Turns Sexual Politics On Its Head
When we first meet Dell, he is answering phones as a receptionist at a private doctor's office with predominantly female doctors.
He has a flirtatious relationship with Naomi, one of the doctors who is (according to the actress's IMDb page) 13 years his senior.
He's also really, really pretty. Being Chris Lowell and all.
We've come to this in the show through Dr. Addison Montgomery, formerly of Grey's. I just wanted an excuse to post a cap of the two of them together.
So far, Dell pretty much serves as a receptionist and object of female lust. Got it? Good!
The next time we see Dell, he is the cute boy behind the desk 'tracking Naomi with his eyes.'
'Oooh, cute boy wants Naomi!'
Naomi comes over to give Dell a strict talking to about how she won't allow him to watch her like that
which is pretty much the least effective talking to ever.
'You can't make rules about my eyes!'
Now, we get to the really important scene.
The shirtless scene.
Filmed in luxurious slow motion
all soft and glowy
with a kickin' sexy rock-style song playing in the background sung by a girl.
We've seen this shot before.
It's in dozens of movies and countless TV shows.
The camera focuses on his body as he moves
skin rippling across his muscles
and then poses in one positon
in order that everyone watching can get an even better look.
He's perfectly well aware that they're watching, too.
He stands still for a moment
pretending to rub at some non-existent mark on his surfboard
then 'notices' the three rich, attractive older ladies watching him shamelessly
and flashes them a smile.
The only difference between this scene and a hundred other scenes of a hot body in a bikini being paraded around for the viewing pleasure of others
is that the genders are reversed.
Usually the camera is languidly following a female form.
Grey's Anatomy, for all its post-feminist criticism and sexual freedom, has never been this bold in complete gender role reversal.
See how I broke up that critical analysis with pretty caps of Chris with his shirt off? Aren't I a nice educational poster?
As Dell takes his leave (and what a leave it is, too)
the ladies inform us that 'there's another showing in an hour, and it's wet.'
Now that the sexual objectification of Dell is over, we can move into the real plot.
Having waited until everybody else has left the building, Dell approaches Naomi in her office
and asks her if he wants to go to dinner with him.
When she declines, he gives her his best Disapproving Mom Stance. See, Piz fans, there is a reason to watch this new show!
He tells her that, yes, he's asking her on a date
and then laughs when she says he can't ask her out on a date. 'Yes I can, I asked!'
He looks temporarily befuddled when Naomi starts babbling about foetuses, but must think it's cute or something
because he brings out The Graduate defense. 'Well coo coo ca choo, Mrs. Robinson.'
He leans in, waiting for an answer
hoping
and is SHOT DOWN. Oooh, burn. DENIED.
However, being the young, sexually voracious , coy little thing he is
he hasn't given up hope yet
and is left marveling at the wonders of a real woman.
I am entranced by the way the show is playing this character as the absolute stereotype of a young, sexy, voracious receptionist who is shamelessly parading his body for the doctors and working damn hard to get into the pants of an older doctor who is, as far as I know, still married at this point (though separated or...divorcing...I haven't seen the other parts of the episode yet.) If Dell was a female character on a show full of male doctors who are in their 30s and 40s, we'd all be having a fit. I've been saying for a while, though, that I don't so much mind the sexual objectification of women so long as we can sexually objectify men in the same way, and that's exactly what this show is doing. I'm also kind of thrilled that the person who's been cast in this role is Chris Lowell, who is now pretty much my favourite actor on television, someone who I've already discovered is pretty much the hottest thing on two legs. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy anymore, but this? Is going to be AWESOME.
By the way, for anyone interested, I've updated the Ultimate Boykissing Spam with Will Ferrell & Sacha Baron Cohen, Gee & Frankie, boys from McFly, Lano & Woodley, The Chaser, Grunberg & David Anders, Skins and The Dreamers.
ETA: and you can access some music from Order of the Phoenix here.

Dude, it's the 21st century. It's okay for women to like sex! And really, every single character on the show is sex-obsessed, not just the females, so why did the reviewer single out the women? ::grumble grumble::
Also, other than the gorgeous Planet Earth series, I have never been more grateful to have a TV program coming in in HD, than when I saw this.

Although I've just woken up and my mind is blurgh. I think Harrison Ford was one in a film years ago, like 30 years ago. I'll get back to you ;)
(This isn't to say I agree with you about it nor am I trying to belittle your point. I do find it interesting)
