I can not even begin to express how much I LOVED Grey’s last night. The end I would say ranks up there with one of the top TV moments ever. Seriously. It was a beautifully, romantic moment that we’ve been waiting for really since the beginning of the show. It was so wonderful to actually see that moment in the finale and not just an awful cliffhanger. Yes, there was part of a cliffhanger there but it was enough. More than enough. It was so wonderfully wonderful. And it wasn’t just the last few moments that was wonderful. It was wonderful watching Meredith work through her mommy issues. The moment Rebecca’s story was intertwined with Meredith’s with her once again mopping up blood on the floor of the exact same kitchen, well it was just divine writing right there. And then the story of the two patients. How cute were Mer/Der outside of the room protecting them? And Derek’s anger of disappointing Meredith over and over. His anger was actually awesome to watch. And for Rose to hear it and realize what he was saying. Derek’s fairytale was being crushed and it was heartbreaking to watch. But the payoff was worth it. Meredith got whole and healed and it was just wonderful.
The Callie/Hahn thing was completely unnecessary. I do have to say I liked the writing of that though…the patient not wanting to show her love because she would be made fun of and how they both in the end went for it. I don’t like that it was Callie and Hahn but it was well written.
George…poor guy it was 1 point. But I liked he realized he IS great and now he gets to take the exams again! Yay!
Chief demanding to come home…I agree with Adele…it’s about time he stood up for her!
And poor Alex. My mouth hung open after he called Izzie a you-know-what. What a jerk. He ruined any good vibes I had from him taking care of Rebecca. But in the end, broken Alex broke down and Izzie was there. Izzie’s always there. I love them together so it was great to see the kiss but it was for all the wrong reasons. Maybe someday. Maybe after he goes and visits Meredith’s shrink.
Yang was so funny this episode and LOVED how she told off Hahn. Good to see a not whiny, dark Yang.
And maybe I could write another page on this episode. Because it was just that wonderful. Definitely one for the books.
I sat down to watch it last night when I got home and at 1:30 it was over… I kept wanting to turn it off and go to bed, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t agree more on what you wrote. It was WELL worth the writers strike to see that, however, I don’t think we’re done with the Mer/Der drama, afterall, that’s what keeps people coming back. I don’t think she’s quite healed and whole, but she’s getting there and kudos to Der for telling her that he needed to speak to Rose before anything else happened.
I could’ve dealt without the whole Hahn/Callie thing. But I saw it coming. I think McSteamy might be growing up. And I like that.
I’ve ALWAYS liked Alex and I knew there had to be something deeper there. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of Dr. Bailey when she handed the keys to Izzie. I was proud of Izzie.
And George… poor George, but he was SPOT on about EVERYONE else getting a second chance and that he deserved one. SPOT ON.
I’m glad I don’t have to wait the whole summer for the answer to a question, I think it was nice of the writers to wrap things up for me… however, I always fear that when they wrap them up that leaves it open for the show to not return. But because I know it’s been picked up again, I’ll calm down.
Whew… glad I had someone to share that with…
Heather @ Desperately Seeking Sanity’s last blog post..It’s All True
Yeah, someone else watched it..I kept waiting for someone else to twitter about it or something!
Oh, I totally skipped the whole Bailey getting the big picture thing. That was beautiful and so, so true to real life. I loved her giving Izzie the Denny Duquette Clinic..so appopriately wonderful. (I’m trying to see how many times I call this show wonderful).
I did love Der for talking to Rose first. How gentlemanly of him! I guess I am wondering what happens with that but Shonda Rhimes says their together for good from now on so I’m holding her to it!
I was so afraid that Der was gonna go off and get into his car and have a wreck or something. Guess that could still happen- but oh, I hope not.
Loved how Izzie was struggling so with Alex in the end-not sure what I want to happen there.
Loved the story of the two clinical trial people. What a good love story. And Mer/Der outside the room was so cute! They almost seemed embarrassed.
Love this show! It just keeps getting better and better!!!
