I'm not upset with Shonda, she's a writer and with writer's you have to trust the story. I'm not saying we can't argue, lol, but I'm interested to see what happens after this. However, Lexie and Mark were my absolute favorite tv couple and was looking forward to this hype about them getting back together...this sounds crazy, but when Mark started to go I almost wanted him to go so he'd be with Lexie (that's how much I love that couple). I know I have a pathetic addiction to it. Anyway, I think the haters need to breathe its going to take a lot of us super fans at least a few days to settle of the story, but it is going to be rough to see what happens afterwards
I love greys
May 18th, 2012 6:36 AM
I hated the ending!!! But what's the twist!!! The creator needs to stop killing ppl off the show already.. Greys is turing into another ER ppl losing interest.. Ok mark didn't check for a pulse maybe she passed out ... But unlikely but it can happen you know how them writers are... Guess we will have to wait till september.. But all honesty Greys is losing there umph and interest..

Lexie is really dead, Shonda tweeted that both Chyler Leigh and Kim Raver were leaving the show. At least Altman didn't die.

I believe not is all it seems to be. The flash of surgical lights above Mers head at the start and the constant sound of wind chimes both at the crash and the hospital are making me expect little Grey to not be dead come season nine. Remember Mer saw visions of dead people before when the saved her after the ferry accident so maybe little grey died at the crash because she lived in real life and the crash was Mers dream

I don't agree with some here, there is no cliffhanger, they are all stable for now, and i guess that if the 5 actors got their contract renewed, all characters will make it. And I'm still waiting for the unexpected from Shonda, what is it really ? Lexie was the one in the worst shape, and she died just in a few minutes, after an unoriginal speech. And even if I liked Lexie, I didn't even cry cause it was too bad writing. For me, this is the worst season finale we've ever had.

So Shonda tweeted it was the perfect time for Lexie to go? Ehm .. ? She was in the middle of her residency, she recently got into Neuro and she started bonding with Derek. Both, Lexie and Mer kept talking about being sisters, and yet they barely had any screen time together this season. I was really hoping it's not gonna be her and by killing her off, they basically ruined the couple with the biggest fandom and Mark's character.

I for one am glad I was wrong and everyone in Seattle was safe. I'm very sad for Lexie, I cried like a baby, but when it looked like Mark was going to die I was way more scared... Although now it seems pointless for Meredith to have bonded with Lexie for a few years just for her to die, it just seems weird. But seriously, only on TV people survive plane crashes at all. Well, considering the contracts, we knew it was gonna be one big cliffhanger. And it is. It was a finale out of necessity and it watched like one.

Am I the only one to hate this finale and to have found it really stupid ?
Shonda has to learn that drama can be created out of death. There was no need to kill Lexie, she could have gone in a more creative way. Besides, even if she was not necessarily my favorite storyline, I think they rushed a lot in to ending her part in Grey's : her love story with Mark was unfinished, and it feels exactly like that.
Btw, I'm not sure the rest will survive, have you noticed Arizona has been caughing blood since the first 20 minutes ? Stupid finale, expected, unoriginal. I'm really disappointed.

I think it was right for Lexie to die. Especially when choosing from her, Arizona (who has a wife and a baby!) and Mark (also with a little baby). But she sould have gotten a better end. I mean - her death just sorta dissapeared in this LOST Anatomy and it while it had some good acting and emotions, it felt forced and staged. "We are meant to be. Now I shall close my eyes."
Christina was brilliant though. You gotta love her. And I hope Alex does not leave.
And... I still worry about Arizona. It´s never good to spit blood. Mark´s gotta make it - it would be crazy and kinda odd to kill the whole pairing.
Also, I loved how they mentioned the past a couple times - Geogre and bus, shooting, bombs, drownig, cancer - wi really did have almost everythign by now. I´m only waiting for the huricane in S9.
Lexie was supposed to get all of the things Mark was mentioning - marrige, children, happines, love - she hadn't really lived her life - it's NOT fair it just isn't....

Personally I think this made sense for the story. If Shonda had to kill somone killing Lexie the sister of Meredith and the love of Mark and the sister of Derek really - she had an affect on the most characters. She also didn't have a lot of places to go if she had made it to another season. We can't have three happy couples on a Shonda Rhimes drama right?

Looks like I'm alone in my opinion but I'm glad lexi died out of all the characters she's always been in the background and never really bought anything to the show and the only storyline she has is the on/off relationship with mark. I don't think any character needed killing but as they went that way I'm glad it was her. I did enjoy the episode but it can't compare to georges death at all.

Lexie was my favorite and the reason I kept watching. The way she was written out wasn't satisfying at all - sure, dying often appears to be good drama, but in her case it just doesn't feel right to me. I'd have wished for better since this means I am bidding farewell not only to this particular character but Grey's altogether after watching for many years. Not because I am angry; it's just about time I spend less time in the phantasy world of TV. So in a way...thanks for helping to detach. And all the best to Chyler Leigh!

Lexie has had like 5 mins each episode this whole season. disappointing after last season saying she wasn't going anywhere. bah-humbug

Last comment from me, I just keep forgetting. I truly believe Shonda and the writers never wanted this couple, with how M/L have always been treated like a halfhearted afterthought when they didn't have to be. Shonda just couldn't wait until so much as half of an hour in before killing Lexie. She wanted Slexie over with. I don't want to hear or read Shonda's patronizing excuses. I don't blame Chyler, but I will indeed always blame Shonda for wasting the time of the characters, actors, and fans for three years. There's no excuse for three years of bull crap.
