What an incredible last episode. I know most fans are angry with Shonda Rimes but I think it was still a brilliant episode - even though I blubbed through most of it. Can't wait for next season, hope MerDer (my favorites) are okay and they can have their own baby and that no one else DIES, especially Mark. R.I.P. Lexie.

@K120 Yeah right? And we haven't heard Chyler say anything about it yet, we can all just assume that she wanted to leave because of her family but until I hear her say it herself I'm not believing it. Maybe she didn't really die and it's a dream or she passed out. And maybe Shonda told us that Chyler was leaving and not coming back to throw us off. I mean she can't make us think she killed off a character then say " It was so hard to make the decision to kill Lexie, but don't worry Chyler will be back next season." LOL. So maybe there's hope? Less than a year ago Chyler said she wasn't going anywhere, she said that if Ellen didn't stay she would gladly take her place. Did she really change her mind from saying she would be the head of the show to not wanting to be on it at all so quickly? I don't know I'll keep hoping, I don't want her to die, she was the only reason I watched GA.

Still hoping it's a dream, lol. Maybe Shonda and Chyler will realize how much the fans will miss her and Chyler will decide to come back.... I'm hoping it will be a dream or she just passed out or something. I know its unrealistic, but a bomb, a flood, a shooting, cancer, getting hit by buses and now a plane crash( and I think I forgot a few lol)all happening to a small group of people is already pretty unrealistic to me. So it being a dream or Lexie waking up and surviving by some wonderful miracle wouldn't be the most silliest thing to happen in Grey's Anatomy history, it is t.v afterall.

There may be some that disagree with me, but I hope to see the series continue for many, many more seasons. Grey's has come an INCREDIBLY long way since the first episode, and I don't see its success dwindling in the future. The series may need some big changes to keep it new and exciting, and I think that perhaps Shonda thought it was best to let Lexie's increasingly stagnant character leave the series. Whatever the reason, I trust Shonda's judgment. Maybe I'm just too emotionally attached to the series, but I'd find it hard to imagine a life without Grey's.

Hmmm... What to say, what to say... I have seen every single episode of Grey's Anatomy, and haven't missed a single second of a single episode. I own all available sets on DVD, as well as the board game (which I can easily answer the majority of the questions in). The plot with April was just heartbreaking and so sad, and I was equally shocked at the firing of Altman. I wonder who will take her place, and who Cristina will choose as her next teacher. Speaking of Cristina, I have a feeling that the plane crash will cause a turnabout in her and the other remaining residents and will change their mind about leaving Seattle. I can't imagine Grey's without Cristina. I'm still devastated by the loss of Izzie, truth be told. Grey's has really changed my life, and the way I view it. Never before have I seen such good characters, story, and acting. Grey's is truly a magnificent show that can teach a lot of things. I am with Grey's for the long haul. There may be some that disagree with me, but

I really feel like this should have been the last season. This show has had an amazing run and this season has felt like a well-written farewell. But the plane crash was a cheap way to force the show to keep going. As much as I would hate for the show to end, I would rather it end than watch the writers beat a dead horse. This show should've been given a proper ending and they had the perfect opportunity to do it. Now I'm afraid we can probably anticipate a mid-season cancelation. Part of me just wants to unwatch the season finale, imagine that everybody leaves and is happy and just cut my losses there. But I know I'll end up watching next season just to see how they wrap it up.

I think the finale is not fantastic and I agree that the flashes to the hospital in between the scenes at the forest are pretty annoying. Though not fabulous but this is freaking season 8 and the fact that they can still end the season on such a high note is just incredible. Great writing cast.

I am so Incredibly sad that you killed off Lexi of all people!!I so agree with everyone else...It should have been Owen,April or Arizona,but NOT Lexi!!!!Her and McSteamy belonged with each other and you owed It to yours and her fans to let us have that...Let us see them get back together and blossom as a happy couple.I've gotten really bored with all the other couples on the show...It's always the same old boring thing...I want spicy passion dammit!!Not that I don't love Meridith and Derick,but there getting boring like an old married couple.I was still not over the whole George thing and then you go and do this?I understand Izzy she's a horrible actress anyways but George...now Lexi??Ugh I'm so disgusted I'm pretty much done with you Shonda and Grey's...I will not be back next season :0(
egrey if next season goes like the last season, with all the weeks off and lazy writing it will be January before the last three survivors get rescued. about 3 episodes. September November and then the January one
Yeah it was lazy writing, almost as bad as the alternative reality crap episode "What IF" in Mer's Dream. I was all excited andthen at the end of it, I was like "Umm that was it? that's all there is to it? WTH?" I really hope next season is better than this one.

This episode was anti-climactic and at best mediocre for the following reasons:
1. The holes in the way a real crash with surgeons on board were too many and too unbelievable. For starters I am sure there was more medical gear on board in the compartments.
There would be more than one flare gun and it is rare that one doesn't work.
The fire was pitiful and there was no wood at all. Where is the pile to keep them going through the night? A whole group of brilliant surgeons didn't think of this? Especially Derek who is supposed to be an outdoorsman? Give me a break. Horrible.
Over four hours to find a downed plane in a heavily wooded area makes no sense. The wreckage would be unbelievable and the path it would have created in the forrest/side of a hill would have been immense and unmistakable to a helicopter flying overhead.
2. The writing was lazy. Lexi? She must have wanted off the show and this is personal opinion, but if I have to sit through one more episo

I refuse to accept lexi´s death!! until september i will hope that she is aliave, tell i´m a dreamer i really don´t care! it´s worst than the time that george die!
RIP: Lexie Grey while i will miss her comedy and her love/hate relationship with her sister, it was time to go. When it came out that Chyler asked for the extra time off at the start of the season i was ok this isn't gonna end well. Then as the season went along i personally could see the writing on the wall. So personally was prepared for it, I like the pairing of Slexie but i'm a bigger Mer/Der fan.
So
Meredith has lost her sister
Derek has lost his little sister and his work buddy who's gonna do Neuro now?
Mark has lost the love of his life
Cristina has lost 3 (aka the number she gave lexie as an intern)
Also did anyone else hear Derek say ROSE at the end ekkkkk NO. overall solid season.
I was right after George,I didn't really care which one got killed. but I am starting to think Shonda has a thing about nice guys finishing last and dying grisly deaths. I dunno why you peeps don'tlike April now that Lexie Izzie and George are gone she is the last truly good hearted one left.

I am sad about Lexie dying as she had a sweetness that no other character did; but that's not what annoyed me about this ep. That would be the doctor's complete lack of survival nous. Not one of them is capable of starting a decent fire - that would get them noticed and provide life saving warmth - and keeping it going? Seriously? I'm no outdoorswoman and I still could have done it. So, what, now they're going to die because they are useless? Lazy, lazy writing.
On the upside, Christina was awesome as usual. Sandra Oh really is unbelievably good.

I loved Chyler Leigh's portrayal of Lexie. Lexie was funny, adorably cute when she was flustered, vulnerable, sexy, and spunky. I'm really going to miss her. I was so hoping that her and Mark would get back together. Her sudden death will mean so much Sloan, Meredith, and Derek. They will have a lot to deal with in the coming season.
I hope we don't have to wait too long to see Chyler in another wonderful series.

This is the first time i have cried about a TV character in a long time. A few minutes after i went hysterical and started laughing at anything, before seeing Mark and then I cried again.
I could have dealt with any death except for Meredith or Lexi. But Shonda said it would affect everyone at SGMW and Lexi fits that perfectly as she has been involved a lot with every character. My hope now is that Mark dies in the opening episode of next season because i dont think i could take watching him suffer for most of next season.

I didn't think it was good at all. I felt nothing when Lexie died because I was expecting it. It would have been WAY more dramatic if they fought to save her. In general the episode was slightly boring. The whole plane thing is so unrealistic and hard to believe that I didn't even try. I feel like it was just an excuse to find a way to solve some tricky problems like keeping some actors and losing others. It was annoying watching them walk aimlessly in a forest trying to save themselves. This is Grey's Anatomy, not survivor. What happened to all of the surgeries? I feel like GA is losing it's roots. Go back to the wonderful mix of medicine and drama and it'll be MUCH better. The only great thing about the episode was Ben and Baily! Love that couple!!!!! I hope April leaves soon. I can't handle her and Avery together any longer... April is annoying and Avery is wonderful, not a good match at all.
Meredith: People change, but they don't change.
