Grey's Anatomy Parallels: A Study of Owen and Burke Pt. 2

Another attempt to look into the psyche of Cristina in her past relationship with Burke and current one with Owen. I used a scene from season 3 where Cristina tells Burke she's 'in this' then comparing it to the recent scene with Owen in her shower where she gets in feet first. In the first she is trying to convince herself she can be 'in this' with Burke, but with Owen there doesn't seem to be any hesitation. What do you think? Leave comments....

I also think Burke was a over confident, assured person, while Owen is like the lost little boy that needs to find his way home.

I think she also doesn't judge Owen for some reason. I think mainly because he's not her peer, even though he's an attending, he's not her competition per se like Burke was in a wierd way. I think secretly she was competing with Burke, while with Owen there is more of a friendship/unconditional love thing going on.

Shes getting to know what Love means with Owen. He respecs her, he loves her for who she is and does not attempt to change her. She does not hesitate a micro second with owen, nor for the coffee he gives to her, nor when she enters her bathroom and take care of Owen... She follows him in the vent room, she answers a straight yes when owen asks her if shed go out with him. She loves Owen. I myself never really loved her relationship with Burke. I thought that was not love but worship & admiration

You are reading my mind! This is exactly what I was thinking. And Burke had this superior attitude towards her (him being the Cardio God), that Owen would never have. Owen is humble in the relationship with Cristina, he feels lucky to have her in his life, just like she is: tough yet compassionate, competitive yet respectful, distant yet so passionate. Owen belogs to Cristina just like she belongs to him, they are soul mates.

Loved the idea of this clip, great job!

I like your videos! x3

Owen! this time

But I think, that Cristina had lots of better scenes with Burke in season 1 and 2.

Cristina doesn't hesitate at all with Owen. Owen and Cristina flow more naturally together. The Burke Cristina realationship was so forced. Burke wanted her to move in when she wasn't ready. Burke wanted a big wedding and she really wanted a small one.

i think most people dont like burke so they are going to say she should be with owen

[usernumber12341]

the only person burke loved was himself..even when he told her he loved her he had to highlight cristina's flaws..instead owen shows up at her door an tells her she's beautiful...so yeah..owen wins...everytime, everything

I Love Cristina especially when she's with Owen. I hated her relationship with Burke. Burke even had the thought of dating Cristina after making her pregnant and having a miscarriage! His crazy. Unlike with Owen, I think Owen thought her how to fall in love with someone with every little thing he did to her was big changes on her perspective in love and that would really make her relationship with Owen stronger than with Burke. Owen 1 Burke 0

[SoLoCabas]

I must be honest and confess that I loved the character of Burke, and Cristina seemed a bit immature and selfish in their relationship with him (although I love the personality and character of Cristina). To compare Owen Vs. Burke is very difficult, because they are both fabulous but different. Cristina shows the best of itself with Owen. With Burke always trying to prove something (I think by the admiration he felt for him). But Burke was not worse than Owen, just different.

Owen 1 Burke 0! Owen wins. He loves her the way seh is, Burke tries to change her.

[LoVeDeMe4eVeR]

Honestly what people are forgetting is though Burke was cocky and pushed Cristina she never regretted it later, like when they moved in. She was comfortable with Burke. And though she may be with Owen to its not the same because of the fact that he is obviously tortured. I think Burke was best for her because she needs stability which Burke gave and Owen never will.

Omg snap!! yes finally someone who totally agrees with me - why do people lover her Burke's relationship all it was : was being his hand in my opinon and her forcing herself to be this person - with owen you can soo see the love ! I just love them lol
