Grey’s Anatomy Finale: *%@#$%^!
I’ll be replacing this with a better write-up when I get the chance. Like “Ugly Betty,” I wanted to get something up for people to comment on. Holy moley what a season finale. I don’t even know what to think!
Burke dumping Christina and then just taking off, what da hell! I did not see this coming. If anyone was going to do the walking out I thought it would be Christina. I don’t know what to think. I wonder if they wrote it this way after not knowing what the actor’s fate with the show might be after the F word incident.
Callie told George she wanted a baby . . . Izzie told George she loved him . . . then George found out he failed his exam! His choices, leave or repeat his whole internship. What what what! Okay again, I wonder if this was because they didn’t know if TR would stay or go (everything is saying he stays, along with Isiah, at least what I’ve read). So did he fail on purpose? I’m hoping they’ll find a scoring error next season to fix this!
McDreamy gave Meredith the big “you are the love of my life, but you keep leaving me” speech. Um hold on there cowboy, you fricken dumped her to go back to your wifey-poo, so shut it! Meredith didn’t seem to be able to give him an answer, but kinda did as she told everyone in the church, McDreamy included “It’s over.”
Addison basically made her case for leaving in this episode, as she didn’t get the job. Meanwhile she urged Alex not to screw up again and let Ava/Rebbecca get away. Will he be able to stop her from going back to her boring husband?
How did Callie get named Chief Resident? No No No! I felt so bad for Bailey! Then in a not so surprising twist, it seems the Chief is staying on as Chief. He tried to give it to McDreamy, but he told him no and he should stay.
Then of course we found out bar slut is in fact Meredith’s half sister Lexie. Of course!
So I don’t care if Burke comes back, but I want George back ASAP!!! Too much left unresolved there. I think Cristina and Burke may be better off now. Everyone deserves someone who truly WANTS to marry them. Of course Bar Slut was going to be somebody, how could she not be?
I hope the Alex and Eve thing is resolved next season early too. I like that one, even though he was a little bit of a jerk for a while. He’s male, what else could he be?

Ok so I watched Grey’s Anatomy last night and it left me so freaken confused! I know they always do the cliff-hanger in all but c’mon! Most shows let you think you know what direction the show is headed for next season- but not this one! I wonder if the producers even know where it’s headed! lol Ok I’m sorry – I had to vent. Thanks!

OMG I didn’t realize bar slut was the same girl in last night’s episode… oh my.. twist and turns….
It was a good show…..

Overall I was pretty disappointed with the finale. To me the best part was with the chief and his wife.
I was shocked that Burke dumped Christina, but it all sort of lacked those jaw dropping moments you hope for in a season finale. I just hope they get all the George/Izzie/Callie junk resolved b/c I don’t like thier storyline.
I do think there is potential for a huge conflict with McDreamy/Meredith/Litle sister. Maybe it will force Meredith to live her life for once and stop whining!!!Thanks for letting me vent!!!
Dustin, I love the Days site and now Primetime dish!!

So confusing… I did not walk away from that show in a good mood, made be feel yucky!
That said – great acting from the actress who plays Christina. I can’t beleive Burke walked out, what a creep! He pushed her from the beginning, he knew from day one he was pushing yet he waits until the girl is standing there in the dress to leave – JERK!
I don’t like the character of Meredith, she has some serious flaws and is a big complainer, that said she has been through some stuff and what Derek did to here was unforgivable. He knows her, he knows what she is like, if he couldn’t deal w/ that then why did he come back to her after Addison? Bring back the vet! Meredith was actually happy when he was in the picture. The chief and his wife – GREAT! I like George and Callie as a couple, can’t stand what Izzy is doing to them. It just isn’t right. Who in their right mind would try so hard to break up the marriage of a person they call a friend and proclaim to love? I LOVED IT when Callie dropped her little bomb about trying to get pregnant and being named cheif. Izzy needs to go down she is being rotten! I think George failed his test because he was so worried about Meredith and also his problems w/ Izzy. Isn’t that nice, Izzy works George into such a fit he can’t pass his test but she manages to pass hers. I’m glad I don’t have friends like that! Alex – go after the girl. I know I’m not going to like Meredith’s sister. If she ends up w/ Derek I’m going to stop watching the show. Disgusting!

I was so disgusted with that episode as well. I mean the whole thing left me feeling disheartened. Why could there be nothing really good in it? I mean pretty much all of it made you sad and upset it was happening. Ugh what I disappointment. I think that they show is getting too big and the writers aren’t putting enough effort into writing good storylines. Also I think it’s way too early for a spinoff. It’s only been on 3 years…and the only reason it got such a big turn out is because people were watching because they like grey’s…most of my friends hated everything that had to do with the spinoff…I might watch the inital episode and decide after that but who knows…i’m just disappointed with grey’s and their writers in general right now.
05.18.2007 at 9:17 am
OMG… what an episode…. i agree that there was nothing good going on, but i think it was a pretty good finale with the cliffhangers… hands down the best moment was when Bailey choked up and asked George if she failed him… it made me choke up, so we have already been told that Burke will be back? right?
05.18.2007 at 9:39 am
i completly agree with Amanda although none of you pay attention to detail when merediths father came and abandoned her merediths sister was there to and she said “come on dad lets go” then when she met derek i reconized her plus isn’t she the one who had a baby??
as for izze go away you are ruining a good couple and how can you get over denny that fast!!! george and calli trying to have a baby is cute and calli getting named chief res that was shocking i though bailey was going to although i also thought bailey was going to be chief!!! and george failing we all knew someone had to fail but why george why not izze or alex???
and alex that was sad because when he got there rebbeca/eva was gone i think he will start chasing after her.
meredith and derek are over as we all know i want her to go back to the vet and maybe get to together with mark (mc steamy)
as for the chief and his wife that didn’t really make sense how could she have been pregent with his kid if they had been separted for a few months?? although it was really sad
and burke and christina big shocker i never saw that one comming.
the one thing i loved about it was calli telling izze all that stuff about how they were trying to have a baby and how she got named chief res i loved that!!!!
05.18.2007 at 9:43 am
Mariah,
No, MEredith has 2 half sisters. The other had the baby, that is when the step-mom was bragging about Laci, who was in med school.
There was a big discussion that week on here as to whether she was or wasn’t bar slut 🙂
05.18.2007 at 9:57 am
I was not too happy with this finale as well, there is way too much sadness in this show. I was with Meridith that Christina had to get married for a happy ending for all!!! Well we didn’t get one and now we have a very long summer to wait!!!
To address the two sisters the one that came to get the father when he was going off on Meridith was the daughter with the baby. I had to rewind several times to see that the two girls had different hair styles. But I think we all knew that the girl in the bar was going to be a pivotal part in the following episodes. I would love to see a Meredith overhaul to her character. She needs some happiness she is too gloomy!!!!
George was a total shocker!!!!! I don’t even know what to say about his whole story line, other than his serious side has brought out a sexier George! He better stay on the show!!
05.18.2007 at 10:39 am
Okay, was that not the most depressing season finale ever. I have never been so disappointed in a finale.
First off, Burke’s true colors showed last night when he left Cristina. He has been pushing this big wedding from the beginning saying how Cristina is the one, and then to dump her at the wedding- wrong move. Although Burke has been trying to change Cristina, so this could end up as a good thing for her.
With Derek and Meredeth, I have been waiting for them to get back together since the finale of the first season with the intro of Addison. And they finally do during the mid-season this year, and then the writers pull them apart again. And of course, the one girl who ends up flirting with Derek at a bar (like when Derek and Meredith first meet) happens to be Meredith’s half sister. Of course…..
Loved Calli and George from the beginning. Was on the fence about who George should be with when the introduced the Calli/ George/ Izzie triangle. Still am, but I would love to see some resolution to it all early next season. I would be happy either way as long as George makes a choice, although from casting details it looks like he chooses Izzie next season. And here’s to hoping his failing exam grade was a mis grade as he does not deserve to fail after they let Meredith retake the test after she failed.
Alex and Rebecca/ Ava are cute. Like the relationship the have. Hope they get together.
Thought Bailey deserved the Chief Resident position and when Callie got it, I thought she was going to get Chief of Surgery, and then the Chief takes it. Not so happy there as him and Odele seemed like they would be getting back together- which was the one good thing I liked about the finale.
Here’s to hoping Season 4 is way better as the second half of season 3 was lacking its usual high energy and potential.
05.18.2007 at 11:52 am
I was not happy with the ending of the season. I have been waiting since Christina and Burke got engaged to see the wedding. I felt cheated when at the end of the show the wedding did not happen.
As for Izzie and George. I want them to get together. I never liked George with Callie
05.18.2007 at 12:47 pm
I am so shocked at all of the disgust. I thought it was a great ending. I loved it.
So much drama!
05.18.2007 at 1:00 pm
I was speechless after seeing so many cliffhangers. Now we have to wait until fall to see what happens. I like cliffhangers, but they give me a headache!
05.18.2007 at 4:25 pm
I love all the actors, but I hate how this season ended!! I was left completely frustrated. Almost to the point of not watching again-but I know that won’t happen. First of all if McDreamy gets together with Lexie, I will be more upset then I was last night. I really hate that they brought her into the show. I liked someone elses comment on hopefully this will get Meredith to actually take charge of her life and stop with all the whinning- yes I know alot has happened to her this season, but really she has always been weak in spirit. Everyone else, I just hope things get resolved quickly, which we all know they won’t- this is TV. I’m still not happy about the finale every time I think of it! Couldn’t Shondra leave us a little bit of happiness.
05.18.2007 at 7:42 pm
i think the actors on this show is fabulous. But this season finale was the worst. they couldve made this just another episode. What just because Burke and Christina didnt get married and because they announced the new cheif made this episode worthy of a finale?? I think not. And i really think that Izzie is way out of line for telling george that she loves him. After all how long has Denny been dead?? 5 months?!..please Izzie slow down. And her and george make an ugly couple. He belongs with Callie she loves him way too much not to be with him. After all when he wasnt with her Izzie paid not attention to him in a romantic notion. That season finale was so bad that i could actually wait until the next season starts. Dustin you should do a recap of Smallville which was 10 times better than Greys last night in my opinion ( with wayy better cliff hangers).
05.18.2007 at 9:31 pm
I am so glad to see I was not the only one who was completely disappointed in that show. I want George and Callie together. Meredith to stop whining and her and Derrick to finally be happy. I liked them happy for about the minute they were. Did not find it boring so the show did not need to break them up. Like Amanda said, I just feel yucky.
05.18.2007 at 9:53 pm
Wow, a lot of picky people around here. Christina’s meltdown was not only fabulous acting, but we’ve finally seen that she truly cared about Burke, not just being a surgeon with a partner. She didn’t even know until he’d left how much she really wanted him, I think it will be interesting to see how this unfolds next year. Bailey choked me up too, when she talked to George, and I thought the Chief had lost Adele too (wipe tear). Certainly not what I expected but is that not what we really want in a show? How much fun is predictability? Good job on the site Dustin 🙂
05.19.2007 at 8:13 am
I also felt like the finale was too depressing. I mean, they could have thrown in a few more happy cliffhangers to go along with all the bad ones. I am a huge george and callie fan!!! I am glad to see so many here. I can’t stand Izzie’s character. She should still be grieving over Denny, HELLO!!!! She has a new movie coming out and I can’t even watch it because I am so mad at that character (which I guess means she is a good actress)!
05.19.2007 at 8:34 am
I want to know how was it the chief’s baby or what was she tring to do. that whole thing was crazy to me. I so hate Izzy she really needs to go back to the trailer park – she is trash going after a married man who is already emotionaly unstable. Loved Callie rubbing Izzy’s face in everything. I think Izzy’s eyes were the size of a grapefruit.
05.19.2007 at 5:10 pm
The chief and Adele have been apart for only a few months. She may have found out that she was pregnant just after they broke up. She was about four months along when she lost the baby. They knew that it was a boy.
05.19.2007 at 11:23 pm
I thought it was an interesting show. I’m calling it the `do over’ episode because it set up several of the characters with an opportunity to do things over and do them better. Starting with the Chief.
05.19.2007 at 11:37 pm
I have only watched Greys starting this season – I have to say that I was as disappointed as everyone else at the finale. The writers needed to give us some hope. First to address the whole Derek and Meredith thing – Derek was a dog – he distanced himself from her when he thought he would not get chief. Then basically said she should make the choice. I hope that Laci pursues Derek and schemes to get him and hurt Meredith, and then Meredith grows some and Derek and her are better for it. As for Christina and Burke they needed this time apart and she needed to realize what he means to her. I think Callie should dismiss George – Izzie whines too much and Bailey should get more story lines.
05.21.2007 at 12:36 pm
Ok, everyone is freaking out about the season finale when all in all it was a classic Greys episode…Depressing and cliff hanging. Think about it, season 1 Meredith finds out Derek is married, and season 2, Denny dies so this cliff hanger was brillant because there were more than 1 cliff hanger. I have to admit I was outraged when the episode aired because how can they do this to Bailey?? Bailey made a better chief resident than Callie..I think Callie is leaving, I’m not postive but she finds out eventually about George and Izzy and of course she’s not going to stay after that. I also think the chief is going to give Bailey a big ole explaination for not making her chief like, If you dont’ spend more time with your family you are going to lose them, I mean he’s been telling her in some episodes to go home and she never does so I think that was his reason, it’s the same reason he told Derek a long time ago. All I know is I don’t want George to leave!! THATS MY GEORGEY!!! I love T.R Knight and I hope they keep him. Burke I don’t know, I mean someone is going to leave eventually..one day but I don’t think he’s leaving just yet. I completely agree that Bailey needs more story lines and I believe its comeing up one day. I just can’t wait for next season. This season was somewhat depressing with Denny dying and Izzy trying to come back and Georges dad dying and Meredith almost dying and her mother dying and then her stepmother and father..whew! So I think next season…questions will be answered and I think it might be a happier season but it has to have depressing stuff to I mean come on…IT’S GREYS ANATOMY! LOL.
05.21.2007 at 2:01 pm
I also thought that Sandra Oh was absolutely brilliant in the episode. The biggest thing that made me mad though was how when Burke walked out he said that Christina shouldn’t think she wanted it, she should know. I took her saying that meaning she thought she wanted that kind of wedding. I mean hell…she put up with so much to marry him. She even had her eyebrows removed!! I think she proved how much she wanted to be with him.
05.21.2007 at 3:26 pm
I can’t believe how many people are upset that Burke and Christina didn’t get married. Hello? She never wanted to get married in the first place. He, himself admitted that he pushed her into everything…like agreeing to get married in the first place. No one should get married like that. How awful to marry someone you don’t want to marry…and even more awful to have someone marry you when they don’t love you with their whole heart. She was going to regret this starting day 1. I’m just surprised that he finally realized she wasn’t really on-board and cut loose first.
I say thank goodness!
Good job Dustin…love your Days site and the Primetime Dish too!

I felt the same way as alot of people here did and was very disappointed with the finale. Then I read the writers blog on their site and Shonda did a great job explaining why she does what she does. I suggest if you haven’t already read it please go do so. I found that it helped me understand why things went the way they did.
It’s a finale which means that things will happen that we like and some that we hate. Sadly we have to wait till the fall to see how all these things wrap up. Let’s be patient and see what they have in store for us!
