Absolutely amazing epsiode!
I agree that the violence was a bit much at some points, but overall, this episode was really top-notch. So emotional, such great acting. great twists and turns, and all the various details, such as the chief refusing to drink with mr. clark. I thought Cristina, Bailey and Meredith were especially amazing in this episode, but everyone did an amazing job.
I love Grey's!

It was a terrible season finale. Too violent. It was just a cheap shot at getting ratings up.
I'm blogging about it for my blog The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide.

The finale was amazing. I had a friend watching with me that only started at the end of this season and she is hooked!!!!! I just hate that Mer had to lose the baby but the stress of the day in the real world could have done the same thing. Kudos for the ex-chief for taking back his hospital!!!!! And Christina cried more in that episode than the last 5 seasons put together and operated with a gun to her head! It was emotionally charged from beginning to end and I was exhausted after, like I was there! LOL! There is one thing though.....did anyone else get pissed at the police for locking everyone in there with the shooter?! I work at a hospital and I am going to ask the procedure for on the loose gunmen!!!!! LOL

It was a superior episode with such wonderful acting. I want to watch it again and again for all the amazing nuances. One thing, though, APRIL! Can't stand her, wish she would go away...she is annoying, childish and really a mess. Maybe that's the counterpoint to Meredith, but can she be a little less obnoxiously childish?

glad to see that there will most likely be a baby in meredith and derek's future... and well it was pretty obvious what was going to happen when the promos about her finding out she was pregnant in the first place were spread all through the internet. its common sense, and sad of course, but it fitted with the whole storyline.

@ JDC, Good point about the biological reaction to the pregnancy news. I completely forgot that her joke caused him pain.

@ anuflas and Meredith McDreamy
Yes it was necessary!
I'm not sure she should of told him about the baby because just making a joke over "the worst break-up ever" he went into pain. It may of given him motivation to tell him, but it would of also caused more difficulty and pain since it would of excited him in a biological sense.
The talk was very necessary though. I'm not so sure telling him about the baby, but I just really needed to see Meredith and Derek talking at the end. He will find out about the miscarriage, it is inevitable.
This is Grey's Anatomy though. We know that when season 7 picks up, it will be right where season 6 left off. So maybe we will get that post-op talk of MerDer that most of us want. I'm picturing their feelings about the miscarriage (assuming Derek finds out which I don't know how he couldn't with Owen/April knowing). Meredith will be depressed about it, but how will Derek react? And this cross-over with Amelia and Derek's mom better no

I'm going to sound like a four year old but: Can we keep Avery? Can we? Please? Dude had it more together (and quick in thinking) than anyone else!
I figured out that the point of the miscarriage was to make Meredith realize she wanted kids but it was just unnecessary. It was too much.
I am glad that SR changed her freakin' mind about the baby issue. I honestly don't see where else she could've gone with MerDer.
Also, it was a little aftermath. Meredith throwing away the test was the aftermath. The scene were Mer goes to talk to Derek post-surgery was needed.

A-MAZ-ING finale! Thank you Shonda and the rest of the team for a gripping, gasp-worthy episode. I was on the edge of my seat and holding my breath more than I ever have through any show. WELL DONE! Can't wait for next season!

@liz you aren't the only one. I'm not the biggest Owen and Christina fan. He chose Christina at the end but I have a feeling once the new season begins that he still has to deal with the fact that he kind of betrayed Cris and Teddy and basically dissed Cris's best friend. They may love each other and Teddy may be out of the picture but I still forsee problems with this couple. I doubt all is forgiven from what caused their breakup.
I don't know about Jackson as a boyfriend but they should have more scenes together because they do have great chemistry an unlike George I think he can put up with Christina's unique sense of humor.
Meredith McDreamy
May 21st, 2010 5:12 PM
@ JDC, that was my only issue with the show. I didn't want to see happy go lucky at the end...that's bull...but I did want Meredith to tell Derek about the baby. I really wanted her to tell him right after he was shot to give him motivation to live and in the end when he asks for her and wants to talk about it she has to break the news of the loss. It just reinforces what they all endured that day.
I'm glad the Owen/Cristina/Teddy triangle is over because I can't take that anymore. I hope Owen treats Cristina better.
I want to see more Avery....fast thinker and he gets along perfectly with Meredith and Cristina so he's a great replacement for the other two who are no longer around. I do see a reason to get rid of April...she's ANNOYING and I'm sick of her (ok, so that's MY reason for getting rid of her LOL)...
I hope Alex wakes up and realizes that it's wrong to stay with Lexie when he still loves Izzie. I'm not a Mark/Lexie fan but it's clear Alex doesn't care for Lexi

I think that in this last season we have seen the big love that Mer has for Derek.I have adorated and sadded the moments with Derek,she 's great in moment of misscarred ,but Shonda after that it happens you can continue her life...naturally Mer and Derek 'll see the life in another way...i hope that when Shonda says that "the beginning of the baby story" i 'll do a "Carpe diem" Mcmarriage and Mcbaby.Mer isn't glad when she loose her child ,because she wanted her child,i understand that she strong woman but i think that she has had so much emotions in this final season.

For me all final was about brave
- brave to try save a life altough circumstaces
- brave to deal with situation when you can do anything
- brave to do what you need do and don't thnik of yourself
- brave to put your life in a danger to protect someone you love

"Q: Talk to me about the decision to have Alex call out for Izzie after he was shot.
Shonda: I really wanted to find a way to deal with how much Alex is missing Izzie. It felt really poignant to me that if he was lying on a table dying he’d be calling for her.
Q: Lexie confessed her love for Alex, but some fans aren’t buying it.
Shonda: I don’t think she could have possibly made a decision in that moment. The thing I think is interesting is that Alex made his decision. When Alex called for Izzie - when in your hour of need you’re calling for another woman - I think he made his decision.
Q: In other words, hope is very much alive for Mark and Lexie?
Shonda: Yes, there’s definitely hope."
THERE IS HOPE!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!! I LOVE MARK AND LEXIE!!!

This finale was missing something that is really bothering me.
I wanted it to end with Meredith and Derek. Will she ever tell him she was pregnant? Word has got to get out eventually since Owen, Cristina, and April all knew about it. April will tell him for sure.

Am I the only one who's sad that Owen didn't pick Teddy? They're meant together:(. And Christina should have a change with Jackson.. the guy is so HOTTT and he definitely wants Christina.

That look that Owen gave Christina at the end when she was operating on Derek was so hot! How could she not love him?
Kevin McKidd is a great actor! I'm so looking forward to season 7!

"So there may still be a baby in their future?" "Definitely. For me, this is the beginning of the baby story." YAY!!!!!!!!!11 there will be a Mcbaby!!!!!!!!
Meredith: Get this baby out of me safely and you can have whatever you want.
