I'm stunned by the responses here. I thought the violence of this episode was completely over the top and unnecessary. Those of you who have grown up with this level of violent imagery can't even recognize inappropriate violence. I seriously am considering not watching this anymore if I have to put up with this. Violence is NOT entertainment. There are real people who experience these kinds of events and it feels really wrong to toss these images out there just to give people a thrill.

I've been watching Grey's for years, this is the first episode I saw that is completely unbelievable, it ruined everything. how come the shooter got shot once and the policy didn't charge? they went to have some coffee and talk about the great shot? how come there is only one guard in the hospital and he is not armed? so unrealistic it ruined the show, even my gf which is a sold-out fan couldn't believe anything in that episode anymore, a shame.

I loved how all the female characters showed their brave side and came out of this stronger than ever...:)

OMG!!! I loved every minute of it. Just watched for the second time. Didn't anyone notice how they unplugged the monitor on Derek to pretend he was dead? That was my favorite part. Cannot wait for next season.

omg i cant believe no one else has commented about the unbelievable acting in this finale. Derek was amazing you just believed every second of his scenes. and meredith omg it was sooo amazing she better get an emmy. Christina was soo good also. My favorite part of greys anatomy ever was in this finale. The moment were derek and meredith were waiting for april and christina to go get teddy. it was so cute when derek told her kiss me and that he wouldnt die...i loved it soooo much. I almost died when derek got shot...i love mcdreamy
This episode was the craziest thing I have ever seen. I don't usually watch Grey's Anatomy, but I think I am hooked now.
I was sitting on my couch, eating skittles and crying my eyes out while watching this, and like I said before, I'm not even a regular watcher. They did a great job with this episode. The suspense was jaw-dropping, the emotion was tear jerking, the acting was phenomenal, and the overall plot was amazing. I was crying so so so hard while watching this :(

Extremely compelling, but where
WERE the police for so long? And how could Christina and Meredith walk through the hospital and see NO people and not notice? Most disappointing was the notion that a madman shooting innocent people out of grief and anger could change a woman's mind about having children? Callie is such a selfish nag it's painful to see that behavior rewarded. Still, a great show.

I just LOVE how Callie handeld the situation with Mr. Clark and how she comforted that little girl and AZ. And I think that AZ change her mind of this whole baby thing when she saw how fast you can lose someone that you love, and how Callie handled that situation and how she talked with that girl. I think that she realized that having kids with Callie may not be so bad. And maybe she realized that life's better with Callie, and if she want's to keep being with her she actually need to give in on the whole baby thing, or maybe when she heard that Callie was willing to sacrifice her Dream of having kids to be with her, maybe she realized that she has to do the samething! And I just hope that she doesn't change her mind in season 7! Cuz it's about time they move forward as a couple, maybe move in together, and alone, not with Christina, there own place!

I am a big fan of Gray's Anatomy, but this final show was totally unbelievable. Where were the police??? Even after the shooter was shot nothing happened. This could never have happened in real life. The hospital would have been swarming with SWAT teams, police,etc. Very disappointing...totally unrealistic...and annoying. Sorry, but that's how I felt.

Yes, I loved it! But! I just did not get what was going on with the SWAT team! Where were they and what took so long? When the shooter was finally shot, how did the SWAT guy loose him? Doesn't anyone have a means of communicating the shooters location--most of all the SWAT guy who shot him? It left a shadow of UNREAL that in the time that elapsed SWAT was so inept. Yes, I liked the women warriors, but there could have been a woman on the SWAT team too. My husband, in law enforcement, was also left perplexed.

I agree with most all of the positive comments here.
One big point...I loved that the women were really running the rescues. With the exception of Mark, all the main male characters (Alex, Owen, and Derek) got shot. Mark does help save Alex, but it is Lexie who takes the real risk and goes for blood (and almost dies).
Bailey, Meredith, Callie, and mostly Christina (of course!)were the most empowered figures. A nice change - and while I like Owen, I was very glad he didn't ride in to save the day for Christina - she doesn't need to be rescued.
I love strong female characters!
In terms of male characters - it was great to see Richard take his hospital (and himself) back at the end.

Just saw the episode yesterday and I'm still crying. Amazing work. They all really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one. Everyone was just fantastic. Still crying.

Calzona - could not be more happy that they're back! I'm not a cryer, but when they broke up I cried like a baby. they.re my favourite couple in tv. I really didn't think they could work it out though. I mean how can AZ change from not wanting a kid ever to suddenly wanting one. I'm not convinced that's them back on track, they were hardly in season finale, yet it was almost too easy that they're back. I was shouting at the tv in happiness when they agreed at the end :D And I loved Callies bravery and dealing with the situation perfectly with Mr.Clark, poor AZ though, it was like she was in a trance or somehting :(
Alex/Slexie - I've never been that big a fan of Alex, but recently he's growing on me. He's not right for lexie though. It's evident he's still in love with Izzie, Lexie just perhaps helped him get over her and now he;s just relying on her to take his mind off it? Lexie in the heat of the moment said she lvoed him because she thought she was loosing him. She needs to be w

most painful thing to watch ever. derek is one of the few doctors that has not been the patient so to see him in such a vulnerable position with christina operating on him whilst having a gun pointing at her face was the most terrifying thing ever. the thought of meredith going back to dark and twisty was in my mind when derek 'died'. this was really the first time i accepted jackson avery as one of the seatlle grace crew. gary clark was so real i was too scared to move the rest of the night. by far best episode of any series ever, and i will never forget it.

I just watched the finale last night cause I'm from the UK, I had to download it. Words cannot describe how I'm feeling, that was EPIC! The best season finale for Grey's. Season 6 has been by far the best season in my opinion. However, I feel quite nostalgic towards the earlier seasons. As good as the past 2 season have beem, and as annoying as izzie and george were, I miss them. Cause they've been there since the beginning! Up til about season 5, Cristina was my favourite, but then I changed to Lexie. But after last night, Cristinas back at top! I just love how vunerable and funny Lexie is though.
Calzona - favourite couple in tv. Could not be more happy they

i was 8 when i started watching greys anatomy....i was exited to know that ellen pompeo had my name but this year i am 13 i have the same relationship with my ftiend as meredith and cristina have.... I SWEAR ON MY LIFE THAT I CRIED WHEN DEREK GOT SHOT!!! AND IT WAS REAL TEARS LIKE I WAS BEING THREATEND TO DIE...one thing greys anatomy did for me was to have a different aspect on life and this is the only show that makes me remourseful i cannot wait for season 7 ....i hope to see sandra,ellen and patrick in more movies and shows i dont take any greys charater for granted because they are just like us supercalifragilisticexpyollidoshush finale.

Loved the episode very suspenseful and intense i couldn't take the suspense my mother and brother watched it including myself loved when
Mark told Lexie to shut Alex up and took charge of the situation but hated when she chose Alex over Mark after he helped Alex thought it was funny when Meredith and Cristina were walking through the hospital while it was on lock down as if nothing ever happened it was
strange to see Derek lieing on the table seeing as he's never been operated on loved the episode(:

This season finale may have been the best I've ever seen.
Scratch that, it IS the best.
Cristina has always been my favourite character on the show,
and I thought that she was so incredibly brave this week.
First she agreed to be a godmother, something I never expected of her. Then she tried so hard to keep Meredith safe.
After that, she showed that she is an incredibly gifted surgeon,
because 1. she knows the patient and his wife,
2. she has a gun to her head
3. it's an immensely difficult operation
4. the man she loves has been shot too
She HAS to win an Emmy.

This show was definitely a stunner. I've already watched it several times. Best scenes were operating on Derek/Owen's wound cared for. The gun to Christina's head, saying to Owen that she can't stop, Meredith coming in, Jackson's trick, the miscarriage. Wow.
In a previous episode when Lexie had words with April, I was semi-content that April wouldn't become the other woman and there are (in real life) dedicated assistants (usually in politics) like her. After her conversation in the scrub room with Meredith, I could see her extending her loyalty and gofer-ness to both Derek and his wife.
One thing no one seems to think (or no comments anyway) that I think is how terrified Arizona was, both trying to protect the child and make herself small and invisible at the same time. Her fear (I thought) was as great as Bailey's, except that Bailey had to speak for herself and Arizona could inner-whimper while Callie was brave for the whole floor and all the children.
Amazing finale , loved every second of it .
And as much as i hate to admit it I cried too
But , I'm reading all the comments here and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed here.
It's like nobody here would like it if in season 7 Lexie stil went with Alex. What is up with that? Seriously?!

the acting was stellar to say the least. Bailey's freak out, Bailey's crying when she was about to be shot. And i didn't know that I didnt want Charles to die until he was lying there bleeding to death. And Cristina held at gunpoint but willing to be shot than not save Derek. The fact that throughout the whole show I hated Gary Clark and wished someone could do him harm meant that his acting was superb, and YES an Emmy would be well-deserved. I didn't have time to cry I was too gripped at the edge of my seat, fearing that my heart could not take all that suspense. And over a span of 2 hours! I agree that this is by far one of the most memorable finales ever, it affects you even AFTER. They really did outdo themselves this time. I am peeved at April, her character just annoys me. And how cool is Jackson Avery? oh gosh i cant even summarize everything I feel about this episode. MIND BLASTING.
