OK so who is on the plane?? i think i saw somewhere where it said 8 went down only 7 will make it?? Mer, Der, Mark, Lexi, Yang, Arz, & the pilot are on the plane.. thats SEVEN... did someone else get on the plane without anyone knowing?? Like ALEX since Arz bumped him from his spot?!?! And after the last episode when they were showing clips of the season finale, you see Arz sitting in a chair by the front of the plane, & movement in the cockpit... but then you see Arz pinned under a piece of the plane a few clips later??? so was her sitting there before or after she was pinned?? Also... i have a feeling it may be Chief Webber that goes cause he has been giving Alex really helpful tips that a Chief prob shouldnt give out?? Or i thought it may be Callie who dies some way, which would leave Mark & Lexi getting back together & Lexi help raise the baby???? i really hate to see anyone of them go!! If anyone, it would be April just because i dont have the connection to he

Everyone has their favorite characters and reasons for wanting them live. I think it is a little silly to argue over who should be killed off since it is all subjective. While I have my favorite characters, I can honestly say there isn't any character on the show that I dislike. Wish they would all stay but maybe a couple characters leaving will provide an opportunity for those that are staying to get more screen time and keep developing their characters.
I don't think it will be Arizona that dies. Grey's is all about the drama and while Callie and Arizona had a couple sweet moments in last weeks episode they haven't had a lot of screen time this year because of the focus on the original characters and the amount of screen time they had in season 7. I would think that if they killed Arizona, Shonda who want a real tear-jerking opportunity to exist and that can't be fully realized because Callie was not on the flight. That opportunity exists in the death of Lexie. Both Mark

I always dread watching Grey's Anatomy finales because they're always such a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
I really really hope it's not Lexie because i'm fond of her character and the dynamic she brings to the team with her quirky way. And was hoping for her and Mark to make it.
Having said that, with all those shudders she kept getting in Migration episode made it seem like someone was walking over her grave and hence it would be the logical death.
However I think it might also be April because she's sorta gone a little wild, so perhaps its not any of the guys on the plane.
But another unexpected death would be Arizona's which would set up Karev taking over the role in Peds and feeling guilty. It would also tie in with Arizona's fear of loosing people and asking Callie never to leave when in fact it turns out that she's the one who leaves ultimately by dying.
I'd be honest and say i'd prefer April to die, simply because both Arizona and Lexie are more tied in with th

What if Shonda Rhimes decided to be SUPER dark and twisty and kill Derek off the show? I know he signed a two year contract extension but what if he'll be used in flashbacks as Meredith enters another chapter of her life post-Derek? Patrick Dempsey has been vocal about wanting time for racing and I wonder if this is a possible solution. I'll be devastated if McDreamy was killed off the show. I'm assuming it's not him but what if it is?

When Shonda said "it" was going to be "unexpected and shocking", was she referring to the actual death, or just the situation as a whole? Though many people already called it on the plane crash, so it's not "unexpected and shocking" to them. Shonda can exaggerate things and play word games, she may not have been referring to the death itself after all, when I go back and read it. Lexie's death isn't going to be "unexpected" by the look of the promos, just peeve the Slexie fans off if she does die. Mark would be more unexpected. Ausiello said he was "safe", but unless he's actually watched the finale and knows for certain that Eric Dane hasn't gotten out of his contract... All I know is, I don't want Lexie or Mark to die, I do NOT think that either of their deaths are "necessary". That should be Teddy/Jackson/April, or even poor former Chief Webber.

I'm sure it's not Lexie, or even Arizona. Come on, the promo videos are made just to make us think something that is not gonna happen. Shonda said it'd be surprising, that'd be way too expected after such a promo to have Lexie or Arizona dying. And I'm quite sure it's something else than we have talked about here.

I am so excited for the finale and really hope that Arizona doesn't die. I am however worried about the whole 'Shonda wrote the finale without knowing which of her stars would be returning' thing. Does this mean that Derek will stay missing and then at the start of the next season they can bring him back now he is staying? This also makes me worried for the originals on the plane. I think this finale will have another major cliffhanger, everything won't be resolved and then we will all have an even longer time to stress over it!! ;)

IF (and is repeat, IF) it is any one on the plane (because Shonda is sneaky), I'm leaning towards Lexie. Both she and Arizona would be devastating, but Arizona's death would just be heartbreaking and uncalled for; Lexie's would propel the show forward. It would create a reason for MerDer to stay in Seattle, life change for Sloan...Not to mention, writers love to kill off a character once they realize their purpose.

And in a shot at 5 seconds in, damn near the same on as the one at 16 seconds has chirstina mark and mar in it it must be were lexi is trapped and at 16 the only reason christina would hug mark is if lexi dies. so for me it is up in the air between Meredith and lexi, i do understand those who have pointed out aprils sad disposition but the hugely religious girl that she is would under no circumstance sink to killing her self

I wish people would quit bringing up about what Chyler "said" about "becoming the next Grey" if EP left, I'm tired of people spreading false information and getting people's hopes up. One, a journalist asked her that, Chyler didn't "confirm" that she would, but only "if" Shonda asked her to, and then Shonda herself later basically said that was never the plan when Chyler was brought to the show, she would not be "replacing" Ellen/Meredith. Two, that was quite some time ago when Chyler was asked, so since then she could now have different ideas about what she wants (she doesn't get much to work with now, season four was her best work and I say this as a Slexie fan) and have worked something out about getting out of her contract or whatever. I wish I was wrong, but everything seems to be pointing to her exit.

May 13th, 2012 9:03 PM
So here's a pretty far out scenario that might please the McLezzies in the global audience: Grey's Anatomy as Greek drama/comedy. (works for me)
...Then the two of them (Sara and JCap) can drop the pretense of being straight and run off together to the Greek Isles where they can start a lesbian production company that would not only save the Greek economy but would validate the long lost lesbian poetic heritage of Sappho, thus contributing to the final demise of the patriarchal domination of the planet...(which Callie rightly warned Bailey of in her speech about the house built on the minefield surrounded by bears that have knives...Come to think of it that does pretty much describe the global condition du jour).
As a Grecian goddess in disguise, (as they were often depicted in Greek drama), Callie gives Bailey the responsibility of saving the planet! The anger and hatred between Owen and Teddy would destroy the hospital and then the planet (hatred, anger, violence etc. that c

My final thoughts are designed to please not only all the McLezzies out there but to provide Shonda with some spin-off ideas. (Read Mary Renault's "The King Must Die" for a pretty interesting view of an early Greek matriarchal society. Films like "Alexander" perpetuate the myth of male dominated warrior culture that is bringing the world to ruin as we speak.)
So here's the fantasy /Alt reality scenario that actually is a reverse parallel of the show's AU (since JCap and not SR has the husband and kids in "real life"). If not a movie treatment this would/could make at least interesting dream-sequence episode.

The labor of love and social committment that being half of Calzona has been accomplished by both actors. But depicting what a loving, committed, adult lesbian relationship looks like for the sake of educating the world public could still be served by having Sara and JCap finishing off their contracts.

May 13th, 2012 8:46 PM
It makes little sense to kill off Sara Ramirez's character unless she wants out of the McLezzie couple and is ready for the big screen or wants to go back to Broadway. She has gained so much world wide popularity on the little screen and has paid her dues (as we say in show-biz). It also is true that the road to Carnegie Hall is created via practice, practice, practice. (I know, I've sung there.) So the movie producers out in Hollywood might be knocking at her door (as well they should be IMHO).
The big screen?, maybe. Broadway...? doubtful. She is still young and beautiful enough for close-ups so Broadway can wait (but keeping in mind what I just said about the importance of practice, she'd better keep that voice in well-oiled condition...)

May 13th, 2012 8:44 PM
Well, since Meredith was just in the plane crash it keeps up the suspense over who survives by having Callie narrate. As to who dies in the crash, maybe none of them. Someone back at the hospital and we've all read the speculation on that. So what do we know for sure? The promos don't show anyone dead at the crash site though Lexie appears the most injured. So assuming they all survive and the writers are going to milk this for all it's worth and that there has been typical foreshadowing, what's next?
Arizona begging Callie never to leave her, and Callie stating that she won't and whatever Arizona can't do she will... Well, when the crash survivors get back to Seattle there will be at least an episode for medical treatment/recovery options. There was only one for Callie's recovery after the car crash so there could be at least that much for Arizona's and the others. And that also gives JCap some easy scenes in bed after giving birth IRL.
Now the foreshadowing could be a

Of course Callie could come to the rescue with a helicopter search for the crash site (helicopters are a classic deus ex machina in films). Then the helicopter could crash and....No wait...no one survives helicopter crashes....REWRITE...
NICK & Callie get on the helicopter, rescue Arizona, fly off to Belize where Nick donates some last breath sperm to his childhood sweetheart. Arizona is pregnant with Sofia's little sister.
