PLEASE put Christina and Burke back together!!!! The scene with Christina at the end was hearbreaking!! And the song was perfect in that moment. But I am so crushed, because Burketina was my FAVORITE couple. They were the best couple on the show. It was the only relationship that seemed real to me. They had differences, they struggled through them, and they were better people for it. Maybe Christina lost some of herself, but she is a better person. I thought that was the message the chief conveyed to her after the Denny incident, when he was meeting one on one with the interns. He could see she was changing for the better and told her he wouldn't be responsible for making her less human. I just can't imagine watching the show, if they are not at least trying to make things work.

Oh, might I add that Burke & Cristina better get back together next season!

Why is everyone making a big deal about Meredith & Derek? Seriously, come on guys!! Meredith is really annoying & whiney, Derek deserves much better. The real couple on this show IS Cristina and Burke. They're the best. MerDer is way old. I will be upset if he goes out with Lexie Grey, though. But seriously, Burke & Cristina are the greatest on Grey's, no doubt!
Love Mer_Der together

I think this is a good sign for Mer/Der. This is a clip from the televionista article .
As for Meredith herself, she appears to be devastated by Christina's wedding disaster. A woman with poor family role models, she looks up to her best friend, but once the wedding is off, she believes "it's all over." Contrary to what some may think though, Derek has not given up on the love of his life.
Yeah, I hope this is true!

im fr Malaysia, well, my tv version is way too outdated but i manage to get the synopsis fr abc.com...
i hate 2 c de scene whr Lex flirting wit Der, he is Mer's Mcdreamy ok?! plus that smile n friendly look of Lex whn she meets George... Argghh........!!!
stop that will ya! i manage to pull myself together to finish the most heart-breaking epi but oh god... not the friendly, confident & going-to-be third party Lexie GREY!!!
i feel lik drowning myself too... but in my case, i won't have Denny and Dylan to argue and wake me fr my misery of watching Lexie joining the "fun" between MerDer...

hey guys, I'M FROM GERMANY and at first i really want to know, if there actually starts a season 4?? And I agree with all the others, I love Meredith and Derek - TOGETHER, and I hope they will be ok, because they are the best couple, ever! Also Christina and Burke.. But If Meredith and Derek break up and then anytime they are together again, maybe the show lose its authenticity?? But anyway I hope they will be HAPPY TOGETHER at the end...! So could anyone let me know if there are news about season 4 or anything about Derek and Meredith?! That would be nice.. :-) My E-mail: Becca.K@web.de

omg it's just annoying hearing u guys complain and declare that your not watching at anymore! Give it a rest! life is NOT freaking perfect. if u think it is, thats just sad. i liked the season finale and obviously by the time the series ends meredith/derek and cristina/burke will be together. You have to throw a new thing in sometimes. I will say that I DO hate the idea of Lexie Grey though. and it will be stupid if derek has a relationship with her! but besides that, come on, give greys a break. season three rocked. do u guys really give up when a couple things go wrong? Have FAITH!

Just to respond to Alex´s comment. I know ga is suposed to true to but i think it can also be an escape from real life. So why can´t all Mer/Der fans Believe that they´ll stay together & get their happy ending. I.m sure you have a favourite in ga, that you hope will end up happy if their not already,

I cannot believe some of these posts. Mostly from women. Who cares about Derek and Meridith, she is comppletely lost... Their story is old and tiring... You all are sad about that? Then you have no idea about the real show.
This is tv... Too many women on here! this needs to be about real life... Not about fantasy Island where you can sleep at night...
Meredith
May 20th, 2007 11:35 AM
I really hope Meredith and Derek make it; I love them. They are the, first, reason why I love this show so much... But, one thing is for sure: the show was all about Meredith and now, well... not.
I almost cried when I saw Christina in that apartment... so sad. Also, I can't believe George failed his exams! Wonder what will happen.....

I did not like season 3. I just wanted Meredith and Derek to be functional, at least. And I don't want it to be such a soap opera that they have to pull in Lexie in order to make a bigger fiasco. I realize that maybe they were running out of relationship combinations...but that is when you end the TV series on a good note, not ruin everything and start a fourth season of an entirely different show that has the same name.

The comment from the "Televisionista" has restored some faith that Mer and Der will eventually be ok....what does everyone else think?

May 20th, 2007 8:29 AM
I saw the clip from Regis & Kelly where "Mark Sloan" was on last Thursday. He implied in season 4 that Mark and Derek would be working out their differences with each other. I'm glad of that.

As long as the new interns are not the center of everything, I will be somewhat okay. And I will be even more somewhat okay if Derek and Meredith get back together!

"Grey's Anatomy" #3.25 "Didn't We Almost Have It All": Wedding Disaster
A fabulous 75-minute finale leaves happy-ending-hungry viewers foaming at their mouth, cursing Shonda Rhimes and declaring threats of abandoning the superior medical drama. "Grey's Anatomy" however dared to burn it all down to the ground, as it prepares to rebuild from scratch next year.
Over the course of the season, Christina (the impressive Sandra Oh) had morphed into a Burke woman, losing her own identity, trying to accommodate Preston. In the finale, as she stood eyebrowless, begging Bailey to let her cut, Christina was suffocating in her future self.
Ultimately, a romantic Preston who made Addison and other women at Seattle Grace swoon over his vows ("Dump Yang and marry me!) realizes the all dolled up Christina who had overcome her struggle within and was ready to walk down the aisle was not the Christi

MSN article on Greys-Could not have said it better!
"The Grey's we've known is over. So over"
The fourth season of "Grey's Anatomy" will probably begin with an ambiguously single, non-chief of surgery Derek Shepherd finding himself working in a hospital along with an attractive female intern named Grey who he met at a bar the previous evening.
Although the first season also began that way, this new Grey is not Meredith.
In one of the season finale's final scenes, George, having learned that he failed his medical exam, emptied his locker as five new interns walked in, ready to begin the first year on the job. One of them was the same woman who flirted with Derek the previous evening, and she revealed herself to be a character previously mentioned by name but never seen: Lexie Grey, Meredith's half sister.
While echoing the start of its first season, "Grey's Anatomy" will not be returning to where it began after covering a single calendar year in three television season

I some of you think that Mer/Der are bad for each other. But i think bad dosen´t always mean bad. Bad somtimes mean GOOD. So with that in mind i really really hope their together in season 4. If not i´ll be heart broken.
freaky
May 20th, 2007 2:30 AM
the country i'm in has not shown the season finale but based on wat ive read from u guys comments, it sounds bad....everything seems to be tumbling down....on burktina sudden breakup..well, i guess that is to add spice to the show....but i really hope that they will get back together...where....burke will still hv feelings for yang and get back together somewhere in season 4....and the most impt thing is....NONE of the casts leaving the show..its bad enough that addison in leaving....hopefully...none others will...esp burke or george...coz it sounds soooo likely that either one of these 2 will leave...bad bad...

May 20th, 2007 1:29 AM
I agree with Sue up there. Yeah, where did all the fun and humor go from GA? It has nothing but gloom n doom in the season 3. Why break up a great couple after all that they went thru together?
I m talking about Burktina. Cristina changed because she loved Burk, what was so terrible about that? She didn't become less of a surgeon, just softer n more caring? This show has become way too seriouse n unrealistic for me.
Burke Better Be Back!
May 20th, 2007 12:34 AM
Agreeing with Jennifer right now!! But I think Burke & Cristina should get back together as well. MerDer - make up your mind! Either be happy, or don't be together. Anyone else agree?

May 19th, 2007 11:16 PM
Ummm, yeah that sucked! I was totally bummed by every aspect of the finale. There was not a glimmer of happiness or even hope anywhere. At least last year's finale was just one tragedy that brought everyone together. This year it was multiple upsets that fractured everyone. Not happy at all about the Liza Grey thing either - so not necessary. Seriously. We watch this show to be entertained not to get depressed - so let me help you out: put Meredith and Derick back together! and do what you may with the others - just throw up something stable and good - like how they used to be. We watched her evolve over these years and really do great work on herself just to have her crash and blow it all in one episode. It makes the viewer feel very slighted and betrayed - as if their prior investment in the characters didn't matter at all because one poorly written show could blow it all to shit anyways. I'm seriously considering not even bothering next season - you've done your viewers wrong! Darn

I REALLY LIKED SEASON FINALE, I THINK THAT EVEN IT WAS A LITTLE DEPRESSING AND SAD FINALE IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO KEEP US WATCHING THE SHOW, I LOVED THIS SEASON!! IT WAS SOO GREAT AND I THINK THAT GREYS ANATOMY REALLY SHOWS HOW HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS ARE, WE ALL KNOW A COUPLE LIKE BURKE AND CRISTINA OR MEREDITH AND DEREK.. I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON SEASON 4. I LOVE GREYS ANATOMY
May 19th, 2007 10:49 PM
just when I thought it will be a happy ending for Christina and Burke, it has to end that way...on their wedding day. After Burke said his vows during the surgery thing. It's sad to see that maybe they're not really meant to be together. After a whole season of sticking up for each others, it ends up sad. MerDer just wont reach happpiness in their relationship. One is more into it... like it's his life, while the other one is acting like it's just a part of hers. They want to be together, but her issues were too much for her to handle. But oh well, waiting for season 4....

What Burke & Cristina have is very special. Please, please don't let it end. I watch the show for them, because they have a true relationship. Despite all of their differences, they still love each other. They're the best characters on the show, don't let their relationship end!!!
