http://spoilertv-greysanatomy.blogspot.com/2009/05/latest-from-kristin_15.html Latest from Kristin Posted by Jenny at Friday, May 15, 2009 Labels: Finale, Here's to Future Days, Kristin, Now Or Never, Watch With Kristin Seriously!? After all that—after the past year of offscreen and onscreen drama regarding the future of Katherine Heigl/Izzie Stevens and T.R. Knight/George O'Malley, two actors and characters in which we all are deeply invested one way or another—the fifth season of Grey's Anatomy ends on a note of ambiguity and helpless uncertainty? Really? Seriously? To recap the key points: * Izzie was getting better. George had a purpose. Yay! * And then there were some setbacks: Izzie is failing, George is John Doe. OK, that's par for the course. That's TV drama. We're cool. * And then it's time to save the day or say goodbye. But wait...what? Elevator? Prom dress? Army dress uniform? Why are they just standing there blinking at each other? WHAT!?! There should just be two choices at the end there: Life or death. Stay or go. On or off. Standby mode is not acceptable! In other news, Cristina loves Owen (yay!), Lexie and Marc have cute commitment issues, Bailey has a broken heart, and oh yeah, Mer and Der were adorably married by Post-It note. That wedding scene was the rare and precious joy we were reminded to cherish by tonight's thoughtful Grey's Anatomy voiceover. Nicely played. Happy Mer is a very likable centerpiece for the show and it's a pleasure to meet her. Is anyone just exhausted by all this, or did you find the Grey's Anatomy season finale exhilarating?

http://www.greysanatomyinsider.com/2009/05/burning-greys-anatomy-questions-for-season-six/ Burning Grey's Anatomy Questions For Season Six Posted on May 15th, 2009 4:31 PM by iheartizzie Filed under: Grey's Anatomy News As Season Five of Grey's Anatomy faded to white, Izzie stood in her familiar prom dress, with George in his new Army uniform staring back at her in the elevator. The presumed afterlife encounter was the last we will see of either ... until September, at least. We've discussed the events of last night in our episode recaps of "Here's to the Future" and "Now or Never," and you all have chimed in at great length with your opinions. We just can't help but wonder, in the aftermath, where our beloved show goes from here. Here are some questions about George and Izzie - who, like them or not, the show and its fans are heavily invested in right now - and those who we know will be back, as we sift through the emotional wreckage of Thursday and prepare, patiently, for Season Six ... * Will Lexie and Mark move in? * Will Arizona be around next season? * Are Cristina and Owen officially a couple? * Where does a heartbroken Dr. Bailey go from here? * The Meredith-Derek wedding - officiated by them, with hastily written vows on a Post-It note - was very touching and sweet. But was it the real deal? * Speaking of Meredith, as Ellen Pompeo's baby bump becomes more visible, is her pregnancy going to be written into the script, or will she go on leave? * If it's the latter, how will Meredith's absence be explained? * Is this the most talked-about episode of Grey's Anatomy since the Season Two finale, which ironically ended with Izzie in the same prom dress? * Is this ambiguity of the ending a deliberate cliffhanger written for that purpose, or the result of the producers' indecisiveness over whether George and Izzie will die - and/or Katherine and T.R.'s own willingness to return next fall? Tell us what you think about these lingering Grey's Anatomy issues or anything else you'd like to talk about as the show gears up for its sixth full season in September. |

http://quackingalone.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/the-rest-of-the-story-greys-anatomy-post-it-notes-are-as-much-trouble-as-black-panties/ Grey’s – The Finale. Happy and sad and puzzling all rolled up into a two hour teaser to keep viewers wondering until next season. I’ll leave the pondering of Izzie and George’s fates to others. That’s not what started me asking about the rest of the story. ‘Twas the post-it vows and Shonda Sunshine’s tease that did that. As you surely know, instead of making a trip to City Hall on a day when two friends’ lives hung in the balance - even if they didn’t know about George yet – Mer/Der decided to get married by writing vows on a post-it note. Mer had suggested the quick trip to City Hall because she couldn’t live another day without being married to Der. He agreed, but later, it was Derek who came up with the idea that they’d write down the vows they wanted to make to each other on a post it note. Then, he said, they’d be married. They decided to vow: (1) they would love each other even when they hated each other; (2) no one could leave or run away; and (3) they’d take care of each other when they were old and senile. Kiss and tender moment and they left and proclaimed themselves married. But of course, they aren’t. I’m sitting in South Carolina where we have common law marriage where they could proclaim themselves publicly married and make it so. Grey’s is situated in the state of Washington where there is no such thing. Mer and Der proclaiming themselves married does not make it so. In an interesting interview with Ausiello of TV Guide, Shonda Rhimes says that the post it wedding “will have big reverberations next season.” Now there, romance fans, is a REST OF THE STORY CHALLENGE. Anytime a man you want to marry suggests a post-it wedding, you should worry. There are lots of shoes left to drop here. One is what they didn’t vow – fidelity. If Izzie and George do go off into the great beyond, likely more doctors will be brought into the mix. They’d provide potential romantic threats for Mer/Der’s unorthodox coupling. There’s the nurse Der slept with a couple of times – what if she was pregnant? There’s Der’s ex off on another show that lots of folks think should return to this one. On Private Practice, Addison has been flirting with a romance with a married man. What if she returns to Seattle determined to get her man back and give marriage another try? In real life, Ellen Pompeo is pregnant and if her character gets pregnant, there would be a lot of social pressure for a wedding and some issues for the couple to deal with like, whose last name would the baby have. There will surely be pressure from staff and friends to make the marriage real which is likely to cause Mer to bow up, refuse and stir the pot some more. Little issues, like last names on medical licenses loom as well. What if there’s another lawsuit or a trial with the one filed last season? Mer couldn’t claim marital privilege based on a post-it wedding. How would I write the rest of the story? Der’s Mom gave the couple her seal of approval and even passed along the engagement ring she’d never allowed Addison to wear. But Mer (which I just do not find realistic) proclaims herself not a ring kind of gal. She’s not wearing the precious heirloom. Der’s sisters don’t like Mer anyway and once they find out she’s not even wearing the ring – they may change Mom’s mind too. Implications? Obvious and many. The family may bring in some of Der’s old girlfriends. They may conspire to show Mer in a bad light. They may push Der to demand a formal wedding which Mer’s decided she doesn’t want because they’re already married. I suspect the social pressure from the hospital will play a part along with some snide comments from Mark. Insecurity on both sides will rear its ugly head because they don’t really have papers on each other. If Mer won’t wear an engagement ring, will either she or Der wear a wedding ring? That’s bound to cause some internal friction between the couple. I can see Der not telling his family about the “wedding” and Mer not understanding. I can imagine his family’s reaction when he does tell them. Der’s family is much more traditional. A post it wedding? Get real. Clearly, they would say, he staged the farce because deep down, he didn’t want to marry her at all. Deep down, they’d say, he still considers himself wed to Addison, or wed not at all. Where’s it all headed? One possibility is that Mer will be pregnant on the show and it won’t be a stable pregnancy – which would fit the character. The medical challenges might bring Addison in for a consult and possibly even some of the temptation for Der I was discussing earlier. Reunion sex is even a possibility given that a pregnant Mer would be moodier than a non-pregnant Mer and Der would likely spend most of his time reminding himself he promised to love her even if he hated her. If Der’s not the husband then Mer would call the shots with treatment. And if it culminated in a life or death decision, then Der wouldn’t have any legal right to tell the medical team to save Mer before the baby. The one with the legal right to call the shots would be the next of kin, Mer’s sister, or her designated “person” Christina or even Mer’s Father. Dramatic implications in that struggle are obvious. It could end with a life or death scenario, with Derrick demanding one thing and the others demanding another. The medical scenario works the same even if Derrick is in a life or death crises. His next of kin would be Mom, influenced by his sisters. They’d have already had the tug of war – was there or wasn’t there a wedding? No Priest or Reverend, no license, no marriage Der’s family would conclude. In Der’s case, he could be lingering in some unconscious state for which his family blamed Mer. They might forbid her from even seeing him, calling for some in the staff to break the rules to get her into his room. With either scenario, but especially with Derrick lying ill and near death, I can imagine a Court battle between either Mer/Der and the family/friends over the wedding that wasn’t. Shonda Sunshine says the post it wedding will cause big reverberations next season. Now if that doesn’t get your writer’s imagination churning, I recommend a long vacation somewhere tropical with moonlight walks on the surf that end in some grown up games with waves lapping at your legs. And other body parts. |

http://www.buddytv.com/articles/greys-anatomy/greys-anatomy-cliffhangers-and-28761.aspx Grey's Anatomy: Cliffhangers and Theories Monday, May 18, 2009 It is not often that I say it, but the Grey's Anatomy finale was nothing short of amazing. Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) voice over - which can sometimes fall into motherhood statements and empty, sentimental rhetoric - was perfect. "Did you say it," she asks in her typical raspy near-whisper, and we see the Chief (James Pickens Jr.), Bailey (Chandra Wilson), and Yang (Sandra Oh) scrambling to revive Izzie (Katherine Heigl). "I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life. Did you say it?" she continues, and we see Meredith looking nervously on George's (T.R. Knight) disfigured face as Derek (Patrick Shepherd) and Sloan (Eric Dane) worked on his brain. If you look closely, you'll notice that Izzie's eyelids moved ever so slightly before she lapses into REM and the elevator dream sequence with George. "This is it," Meredith continues, rather conclusively. Back in the elevator, Izzie is visibly - literally - trying to decide whether she'd go back or not. We see an indecisive look in Izzie's face, and on the next shot we see her back on her hospital bed, still unconscious. And just as the music (Greg Laswell's Off I Go) builds up, everything turns dark. And Meredith wraps up - "It might all be gone tomorrow." The cliffhangers are clear on the season finale of the ABC medical series. Two lives hang on the balance, and Bailey's career is not as secure, too. On the other hand, Cristina and Owen, Callie and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), and Derek and Meredith all appear quite stable. Which leaves us to Izzie and George. Watching the episode again, I can't help but kick myself for not figuring out that faceless guy is George. Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes generously peppered the episode with clues, the most blatant of which is Callie saying "George O'Malley?" right when the camera lingered straight in faceless guy's face, or non-face, for several seconds. Of course, there is also the matter of George's eyes, which should've been readily obvious to diehard George fans. But we were all in the edges of our seats and can't really be blamed for the oversight. The brilliant elevator sequence, meanwhile, is leading me to believe what some Grey's fans have posited: Izzie will survive, George will not. When Izzie walks into the elevator, for instance, she looks grim and unsure. When the door opens and she sees George, her face lights up! And George is smiling, like a welcome, and right there and then, you can see the change in Izzie's countenance - from glee to uncertainty. She looks torn, as she looks over her earthly body and back to George, whose smile also vanishes. Is George inviting Izzie to the afterlife? It sure looks that way. When you watch her face carefully in the dream sequence, it is obvious: she's making a choice. The choice she'll make, we'll see when Grey's returns. And it's an awfully long wait. Has anybody heard if Heigl and Knight are renewing their contracts? Those should be dead giveaways. |

http://morgenwrites.livejournal.com/42680.html She is to the point Grey's - here's to the future/now or never Yeah. Still pissed. Sleep didn’t do a thing. Sooo, fair warning, a lot of this is nothing but me ranting about the “marriage.” Because I can’t seem to think of anything else right now, and I’m so incredibly disappointed by it. Not only did MerDer get shortchanged on screen time for the second week in a row, but they got shortchanged on their marriage too. (And I was patient with it last week. I really was. Because I thought for sure they’d have their moment in the finale. But I swear this post-it crap has me feeling all ready to cut a bitch.) I loved the things they said to each other in that scene, don’t get me wrong. They were very sweet, and it showed how far they’ve come as a couple that they can talk so honestly about avoiding the mistakes from their past. The no running and the no walking out was lovely. As was Meredith when she told him he had to love her even when he hates her. There was something about the way she said it that seemed almost a little shy like a glimpse of that same girl she was who’d “never done this before,” and it had me wanting to hug her. I loved that they promised to take care of each other even when they’re old and smelly and senile, and I especially enjoyed Mer voicing her fears about Alzheimer’s and forgetting Derek. It was heartbreaking to hear them talk about it, but it seems like a very real fear for her to have because early onset IS genetic, and there is a chance that she’ll forget Derek the way her mother forgot her. So, you know, there was that. And they are happy and in love, and it’s all really great, but writing it down on a post-it and signing their names did not make for anything other than a total cop-out. They want to be together forever. Fantastic. I’ve already known that for a long time. It’s nothing new. I know some people see it differently, but in my mind, signing that marriage license does make their commitment more real than the way they went about it. Maybe not to them on a private, personal level, but on a broader scale, yes, it does. It makes the rest of the world recognize their commitment to each other in a way that a post-it note never can. I mean, let’s say that hypothetically they want to get divorced one day. What are they gonna do? Just rip up their post-it? Because that’s really all they’d have to do. Their commitment to each other is easy to walk away from in a way that a legal marriage isn’t. You want an actual divorce, you have to file papers, get a lawyer, pay all kinds of legal fees. Not that I’m rooting for a divorce story down the line, but Meredith is a character who, from the very beginning of the show, has been shown to have some major, big time commitment issues. We’ve watched her struggle with them, and MerDer suffer because of them, for five seasons now. To have her actually step up and take that risk, to sign her name to a real marriage license that carries with it significant legal weight would have been a huge thing for her and an incredibly powerful moment for me as a viewer in terms of the MerDer relationship. I’m sorry, but the two of them scribbling their names across a post-it note during a spare minute at work just doesn’t cut it for me at all. Not to mention that you get RIGHTS with a legal marriage that you just don’t get with a post-it note. I mean what if something horrible did happen to one of them? You’d think, with Izzie so sick, they’d realize the value of a legal marriage more than ever. The part where Alex says “Her future is on me,” well, he’s right. Legally, he has the right to make decisions for her that Derek doesn’t for Meredith, no matter how much he waves that post-it note in someone’s face and claims she’s his wife. She isn’t. Not legally. And Meredith is a girl with a tendency to get herself into situations where she’s drowning at the bottom of a bay or holding live, unexploded ammunition in her hands. Derek needs those rights (and vice versa, of course) because right now, people like Thatcher and Lexie actually have more say over what happens to his “wife” in a worst case scenario than he does. And that’s just wrong. I’m also assuming that’s exactly where season six is going, especially since Ellen’s going to need some maternity leave at some point, and what better way than to have Meredith conveniently incapacitated in some horrific way so Ellen can rest and Derek can angst it out with his post-it when he and Thatcher disagree on how to go about saving his “wife’s” life. (And yep, I’m keeping “wife” in quotation marks until they sign an actual license. Also “husband.” And “wedding.” Same goes for “married.” Because I’m just that bitter.) And the thing is, I didn’t need them married tonight. I would’ve happily waited for the right moment. The post-it note is cute to me only as a placeholder for the real thing. Something to tide them over until they have the time to do it right. And I want to be optimistic and say we’ll get to see them actually get legally married next season, but I really don’t think we will. This is it. They see themselves as married. They called it their wedding, and they told Owen that they had in fact gotten married when he asked about it. Not to mention this handy snippet from the Shonda interview: Will we still get an official wedding at some point? RHIMES: I think they feel it is an official wedding. Ugh. Since they see themselves as married this way, I don’t see them ever doing the ACTUAL MARRIAGE THING. Especially since I’m sure Shonda sees herself as being oh so clever with how nontraditional Mer and Der are. A proposal with no ring! A wedding that goes to another bride! And now, a marriage on a post-it! As a fan, I feel like I’ve just been insulted and slapped in the face. And then maybe had some mud thrown on me too. I suppose at this point, as a MerDer fan, I’m just supposed to be satisfied that they’re together and happy and committed to each other for the first time. But to spend half a season teasing us with a wedding, not to mention using the idea of a MerDer marriage to promote the show all over the place, and then to give us a scribble on a post-it note as the culmination of it all is crappy storytelling in my opinion. It’s trying way too hard to show how MerDer are quirky and different and don’t do things the regular way. Show, you can still have a marriage that is unique and different and doesn’t involve wedding dresses and long walks down aisles without resorting to a post-it. Because honestly, this reminds me a lot of my own quirky, nontraditional wedding I had way back in kindergarten when a boy gave me one of his Cheerios during snack time and we decided it meant we were married. Let’s see, other things I hated about this. (Wow. I really do have a lot of the bitter and ragey still left in me this morning.) Soliciting charitable donations in the name of Meredith and Derek’s marriage. Yes, donating to charity is always a good thing, but there’s something that feels very wrong to me about asking fans to do so for a couple they’ve been rooting for FIVE years at this point, and then giving them a sham of a “wedding” on a post-it instead. Because honestly, while their vows to each other were lovely, nothing’s changed between them. It’s just a slightly more elaborate version of what they promised each other in Elevator Love Letter, and I enjoyed the latter a whole lot more. Just rehashing that sort of commitment as their culminating moment for the season was so disappointing to me. Especially after Mer’s beautiful speech to Cristina (which I originally loved) about making time to tell the people in your life that you love them. That moment is pretty much ruined for me now because the reasoning behind their post-it wedding is that THEY HAD NO TIME TO DO A REAL ONE. Ugh. It’s called MAKING time for a reason, Mer. Yeah, their jobs are important to them, and that’s admirable, but their life together should be just as important. I mean, look what’s happened to Bailey and her husband because they don’t take any time together as a couple or a family. Work can’t ALWAYS get in the way of their lives together. They shouldn’t have to squeeze a “marriage” into a spare minute in the locker room before the next surgery. Their life together and their love for each other deserve more recognition than that. And, I’m sure if they’d asked, the Chief would’ve gladly given them a day off work for their own WEDDING. The reasoning here just felt incredibly stupid and contrived to me. Anyway, now that I’ve gotten all that off my chest (I did say I’d be bitter and full of hate today), let’s see if I can talk about the rest of the eppy like a person who isn’t still fuming. To help balance out the rage, let’s have a theme here! Things I loved: -First of all, Meredith voice over! You came back!!! It always feels slightly off to me to have someone else talking over the opening scenes, so to hear her again was just so nice and reassuring. Also, it was such a cute voice over about her home and her friends and her future “husband.” And, you know, naked MerDer curled up together in all their blankets was lovely too. -PARIS!!!!! Or Alice. Allison. Whatever. I used to watch Gilmore Girls, so she’s Paris to me. -Izzie showing off Alex’s ass to her patient friends. Hee. It IS quality booty, Paris. -Bailey pretending to play light sabers with the new surgery thing and even making helpful sound effects. She’s been annoying me a lot lately, but that was just adorable. As for her latest relationship drama, I don’t know. I get that we’re supposed to be on her side and feel that her husband is being unsupportive and wrong in giving her ultimatums, and I agree with that to an extent. But I also feel that we’ve been shown Bailey consistently choosing her job over her family this season, and they deserve some of her too. I’m not going to fault Tucker for occasionally wanting his family to spend time together as a family. -Meredith and Derek having another work conflict that they successfully kept separate from their personal life. I love how Meredith was so easily able to explain her reasoning to him for convincing Izzie. She has turned into a kick ass communicator, you guys. (I also loved Mer defending Cristina to Derek and Cris’s “I’m gonna leave now…unless you want to apologize.” Hee.) But yeah, this couple. They can argue and disagree and know that it doesn’t do a thing to change their feelings for each other, and that’s a beautiful thing. -I also was really happy to see Mer telling Cristina that Derek did have a right to be angry with her. Because the way she informed her sick and very scared friend that she was not having the surgery? She kinda crossed a line there big time. I’d normally expect Meredith to be a bit more…neutral, I guess. To answer in a way that was similar to George’s advice. However, she was the one in there with Izzie when they ran the memory test. She was the one who had to see Izzie forget everything – her name, her husband’s name – all of it. And for Mer, the memory loss stuff hits especially close to home, so she gets a pass from me tonight. -There was way too much Callie/AZ stuff for my taste tonight, but I did love the moment where Arizona tries to yell at the Chief and starts to cry. Because, um, I do that too? When I get really angry and just want to yell, I usually start to cry and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. It’s incredibly frustrating and kind of ruins the whole I’M ANGRY HERE vibe. So, AZ doing the same thing made me very, very happy. Also, she’s just all kinds of adorable with her pretty, pretty curls and trying to lure Bailey back to peds with the joy. Because, cute kids. Who can resist cute kids? (Future kindergarten teacher here, so yeah. Cute kids get me every time.) -The “What if it was Meredith?” scene between Alex and Derek was deliciously angsty. Derek’s face went straight to devastated the moment Alex asked him that because this is a man with very clear memories of dead Meredith. And to have to think about losing her again… Oh, poor Der. Break my heart. I loved that he answered Alex though instead of sticking to his doctorly brush off, and that Alex went to him for advice. After Izzie, Meredith is the one Alex is closest to, so, putting Derek’s medical expertise aside for a moment, it just made a lot of emotional sense for Alex to seek him out. To seek out the man who loves Meredith. (Plus, you know, the two of them interacting on my TV screen is a whole world of pretty.) Although, Alex? I do believe Derek’s precise words were “I’d ASK her to have the surgery.” Not “I’d order her to have it with lots and lots of rage.” But whatever. Minor technicality. -Minimal Mark/Lexie. Maybe Chyler Leigh can just remain perpetually nine months pregnant for the rest of the show? Either that or they can use this buying a house drama to break the couple up. Because I’m not enjoying Mark as a woman. Not at all. I am enjoying Derek giving him crap for his failed move in with me speech though. That was priceless. -The Izzie/George moment where he gave her advice had me smiling. It was so sweetly reminiscent of the BFFs they used to be, and I loved getting a final glimpse of that dynamic. Also, I really appreciated the advice he gave her. She was getting pushed and pulled in so many directions by all the differing opinions, and he just handled it really, really well. -“Let’s go to City Hall tomorrow. I don’t want to spend another day not married to you.” Oh, Mer. That was perfect. Especially following her heartbreaking confession to him of her Alzheimer’s fears. However, it makes the post-it wedding even harder for me to swallow. One day, she’s dying to legally be married to him already, and then the next, she’s satisfied by a commitment ceremony on a post-it?? Ugh. Give me a moment here to reel in all my rage again. -Okay, another thing I liked! That Owen and Cristina scene on the bridge. I swear, I actually felt a brief surge of shippy feelings for them. (Which get utterly destroyed by the end of the episode, but that’s for later.) Just…they were so cute. With the kissing and Owen’s giddy, almost boyish excitement over sleeping the whole night without nightmares. And that it meant he could be a better man for her. And maybe with her. Such a wonderful moment. I really enjoyed seeing some lightness from them because all their emo angst has been dragging me down, but this! This was perfect! -ALEX KAREV. Oh, Alex. I love you lots and lots and lots. He broke my heart more than anyone else tonight. His devastation over Izzie signing a DNR had me teary eyed. Especially when he threatened to turn all Izzie crazy himself and start cutting LVADS. And then the sight of him bent over her bedside, just chanting over and over to himself “Wake up, wake up, wake up.” I love how much he loves her. How determined he was to get her to remember things. His notes around her bed cracked me up. Especially the “Your memory sucks” one. Hee. (Maybe MerDer could add theirs to her collection?) But more than anything else, I loved the scene where he snapped and yelled at her about how much all of this sucked, and how they only got married because she was about to die so maybe he should smother her with a pillow. Because what he’s going through IS incredibly hard. Not as much as what Izzie herself is facing, but still so very difficult. He thought was in for a lifetime with a woman who has the memory of a carrot. (Hee. Oh, Izzie.) And that she was stuck with the sort of non-life she’d begged him to keep her from living. Not to mention that they really did leap into their marriage because she was dying. So yeah. I love that he got that off his chest and that it was the first thing she finally was able to keep from forgetting because, if she does live, that’s something I’d love to see them deal with next season. What do they do about the fact that they got married before they were ready because they thought she was dying, but now she’s not? It could be a very good, realistic struggle for them. -The planning of the army George intervention was good too. Nice and amusing. I especially loved the Bailey roundup where she gave all her babies their jobs. Mer to play the concerned friend, Cristina to use logic, Izzie to stare at him with her cancery eyes, and, if all else fails, Alex to kick his ass a little so he realizes he isn’t army material. Hee. It reminded me lots of Captain Planet. Only instead of earth! wind! fire! water! heart! we got concern! logic! cancer! smackdown! (Please tell me I’m not the only one who grew up watching that show?) Plotting Bailey is pretty much the best thing ever. -Meredith and Cristina were wonderful together too. They’re still the close as sisters best friends they’ve always been, but it feels they’ve found a much healthier, MUCH less codependent version of that friendship, and I’m all for the new dynamic. I loved seeing Cristina have genuine excitement for Mer over the marriage, and the rooting around in her pockets for old, new, borrowed and blue was wonderful. (Or at least it was until that became the source of the post-it wedding. Hate, hate, hate.) And then Mer pointing out that, if they were George and Owen, this was when they’d hug. LOLOLOLOL GOOD STUFF. Also good? “I love you, Cristina Yang” and “I’m gonna hug you now.” Oh these two. They make me smile. -007. Seriously. Best moment of the night right there. I knew it was George from the moment he was first brought in because I’m a bit of a spoiler whore, so I was on the lookout for conveniently disfigured patients from the get go, but that moment where Meredith realized it still felt like a punch to the gut. Her little scream of oh god was heartbreaking. And the fact that he spelled out 007 in her hand freaking killed me. I had imagined he was trying to spell his name, but he had so much trouble just with those three numbers that I don’t think he could’ve made it through all the letters in George. Plus, just…007. Way to gut me like a fish, Show. Because 007 is from the pilot, way back when he was the sweet, fumbling version of George who botched his first attempt at surgery, had a ridiculously overblown crush on Meredith, and was Izzie’s adorable BFF. That guy. Not the jerk he became after the sex with Meredith and the cheating on Callie. Not the shadow of a character he’s been all season. But GEORGE. The sweet, kindhearted guy we first got to know, and having that reminder of who he used to be made his accident cut like a knife. If it hadn’t been for him writing 007, I really wouldn’t have cared one way or the other, but as it is, I felt for him so much. Meredith slowly saying 007 outloud as the realization crossed her face gave me chills. -“You pulled out my icicle.” LOLOLOL. Oh, Cristina. I think it was supposed to be a serious statement referencing their first interaction and all, but that phrase just sounds so bizarre I had to laugh. A lot. -Derek let Mer drill the burr hole in George’s skull! I freaking LOVE kick ass neuro Mer. And she kicked ass so much in that moment. Seriously, can she just go ahead and declare neuro as her specialty already? Because I’m not gonna by her as any other kind of surgeon at this point. -The sawing off of the perfectly healthy leg. Because, the whirring sound of the saw, and the splattering blood, and what can I say, I’m a sucker for the gory medical stuff. I was equally thrilled by all the blood that came gushing out of George’s skull thanks to Mer and her drill. -Elevator George and Izzie! She will never not look gorgeous in that dress, and George actually looked attractive for the first time ever in his army uniform. And I was so, so glad she didn’t see freaking Denny when those doors slid open. Although, speculation time, George was already out of the elevator and she was still in it. I’m guessing this means he’s dead-dead, and she’s got a chance to return to life. I suppose it could work the other way around, with her already on the elevator ascending to the heavenly hospital and George yet to get on and commit to dying. But, um, I really think George is gone next season while Izzie’s probably going to come back. Because this really is Stevens’ Anatomy after all. I don’t particularly mind the dying cliffhanger either. I was expecting it, and honestly, at this point I’m feeling very whatever about losing these characters. George has been all but gone this season already. And Izzie, I thought I was going to be gutted over her possible death since I love her and Alex together so much, but, um…I’m a little bitter? Because even I’m starting to get fed up with how much screen time is devoted to her every episode, and maybe if she goes, Ellen can start to get some lead actress quality screen time again. So yeah. I’m a little surprised at how calm I am about the possible deaths. Blame the post-it. It has me in a state of bitter ambivalence towards pretty much all of Grey’s at this point. Which leads us to the opposite of the things I loved. The things I hated! -That fucking post-it -New, emo Bailey. If I have to see her have one more tearful breakdown, I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s starting to feel like she can’t encounter a single problem without crying about it, and it makes me miss old school Bailey so much. I know that the end of her marriage is huge and scary, but all the power of that moment was lost for me because we’ve already had so many emo Bailey festivals of sobbing and shaking this season that it now feels routine at best. -Izzie and Denny hanging out on the beach together. I really didn’t need to see any more of that guy ever again. And I was bored to tears during that long talk they had about future babies and the wedding ring and all that crap. But my Denny tolerance is at an all time low after a season of ghost sex and a post-it. -That scene in the boiler room between Cris and Owen. It felt way too over the top for me with the angst and the melodrama, and a lot of the dialogue had me cringing. “I can’t breathe without you” was especially bad. Way too much cheese for me. Also, it sent my mind straight to exam room Mer’s “I can’t breathe with you looking at me like that,” and the original was so much better. I want the Cris and Owen from the adorable no nightmares moment back. I find them so much more appealing than their other incarnation as tortured lovers. -Also, I’m confused. Is Owen actually planning to return to Iraq next season? Because that’s what I thought at first, but is that what she was saying yes to? Clearly, my mind is boggled because I wasn’t quite following that. -Post-it -Yet another episode with nowhere near enough MerDer. A lot of why I’d felt so okay with the way MerDer were handled in the 100th episode was because I was certain that they would have their fair share of story in the finale. But, of course, they were shortchanged yet again, and there went the very last of my patience. Good job, Show. You’ve actually got me kinda rooting for Izzie to die despite my A/I tendencies on the off chance that it’ll lead to Meredith and Derek getting some actual screen time together again. -This new Mark. I do not like. Show, please take him away and try again. He’s no longer attractive to me thanks to his transformation into Lexie’s lapdog. -Everyone completely ignoring Izzie's DNR at the end. I think that they were technically right in trying to revive her because Izzie's fear was living as a vegetable. She had her memory back when she coded, and I think she would want to fight for her life in that case. If they'd decided to ignore the DNR on those grounds, I would've been happy to go with it. But the way they shot the scene felt a lot like they were saying patient's wishes? what patient's wishes? And while I understand a reaction like that coming from Alex, the Chief shouldn't have just gone with it because it was what Alex wanted. It's supposed to be about what Izzie wants, and not addressing that was yet another reminder for me of the Chief's lack of professionalism. -Post-it -Post-it -Post-it And yeah. All in all, I’m feeling kinda bummed out and insulted thanks to the way they handled MerDer. If it weren’t for that, I think I would’ve been fairly pleased with the finale. Anyway, looking ahead to the fall and the “big reverberations” Shonda says are coming thanks to the post-it “wedding,” the only thing I can think of is some sort of medical situation like I mentioned earlier. Although I’m really hoping that the big reverberations are their friends finding out about the post-it wedding and giving them all kinds of crap for it. I’m also feeling a little suspicious thanks to last night’s many, many references to the possibility of Mer getting Alzheimer’s, but I’m hoping that’s just because Izzie’s memory loss was triggering a lot of fears for Meredith and not because they’re planning to go there. I’m skeptical that they actually would ever pull something like that since you can’t exactly have Grey’s Anatomy with an Alzheimery Meredith Grey, but, I don’t know…are Alzheimer’s scares possible? Like Meredith has a day where she’s really distracted and forgetful, and promptly freaks out that she must have Alzheimer’s? IDK. I hope not, but I could see Shonda just eating up all the potential angst in that situation, with Derek wanting her to get tested for the gene or what have you. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they never truly go there though, because if anything gets me to stop watching Grey’s, it’d be Meredith forgetting who Derek is. So, in conclusion, finale, I want to love you. But thanks to that freaking post-it, I just can't. Tags: grey's anatomy, the episode broke my brain |

I still absolutly loved the post-it wedding.....they proved their love to one another, the are commited, they want to be married and they are. It was soooo them and soooo perfect. All they have to do to be "married" is go to the courthouse and sign a piece of paper they don't need a priest there to officiate it. They said their vows and what they wanted to promise each other so in all aspects they are married just for lack of a piece of paper. My aunt and uncle were "married" for like 10 years and had 2 kids before they actually had a ceromony, that's not what makes you a married couple it's the love you share for one another. |

and they will be, just give it time. Like Meredith said, she wants to be married to Derek but there just wasn't anytime during that day for them to leave the hospital. |

to me, the mer-der post it wedding sounded like a message from shonda.. Mer sayin "there isnt enough time" translates to Shaonda "there isnt enough time this episode... because katie heigl complained more so its izzies anatomy now" (ok so that last part was the bitter me lol) Der sayin "theres plenty of time" was shonda's "there is still at least two seasons left, so I hav time to marry them off... because I hafta make it up to my fans who want something more than a silly post it and cuz i had to finish izzie's anatomy season story so katie heigl would be quiet..." (once again bitter...) i do hope there will be time soon |

http://www.tvguidemagazine.com/greys-anatomy/who-will-die-on-greys-1167.html Who Will Die on Grey’s? by David A. Keeps May 18, 2009 04:32 PM EST Did Izzie and George die, or will they be back next season? “We will definitely answer those questions in the fall," says creator Shonda Rhimes. "As with anyone you come to love, you don’t want to see them die, but it’s all part of the circle of life.” Still, she allows, “there are some top-notch doctors at Seattle Grace and although there may not be miracles, there could be some good medicine.” And the Season 5 finale did have a bright side: Christina and Hunt are on again, Callie and Arizona are forging a deeper girlfriend-ship, and Der and Mer had a Post-It note wedding. “I wanted you to feel happy for some people,” says Rhimes, noting that “Meredith, our dark and twisty girl, is whole and healed.” |

I just keep going back to a Shonda quote that she gave after the election "The season is all about second chances" Now I keep thinking about Phillip from the season premier. Callie, Owen, and Derek made him walk again, and Callie was the one who hadn't given up yet. Now Callie, Owen and Derek are working on George. Does this mean he will walk again? Shonda: “there are some top-notch doctors at Seattle Grace and although there may not be miracles, there could be some good medicine.” And George has the hospitals best doctors. He will live. |

I also think since this was the epi where Der seems to have gotten the "magic" back that since he was there, and not Nelson, that this was a good sign for George. |

And I was thinking about Izzie too... cuz if Izzie does die it will leave Der dark... and we do not want that... Izzie was something that made Der come back... you know? By the way... I sent your spoiler to spoiler tv and I said to please give you credit... did you see it? They gave us both... but I meant for you to get it. |

Der will not get dark. He removed the tumour. She flatlines of high potassium. her kidney broke down.And remember she got her memory back. Cris and Alkex know. |
