As long as it’s not Lexie, Avery, Mark or Bailey, I don’t really care who dies. I still think that they should have killed more people off in the shooting finale (Owen and Teddy, for starters).
Would doctors really wear scrubs on a plane? They don’t wear scrubs when they go to the bar and they don’t wear them in scenes in their homes. Why would they be wearing them on the plane?
Speaking of…seriously, Cristina? What was the point of going to have sex with Owen and then telling him you’re leaving? It couldn’t have been to hurt him, because she told Meredith Owen was her person.
I wish Julia would have been on the plane, then she could die and Mark and Lexie could get back together.
(bolding mine)
Grey’s Anatomy without Grey? How would that work? Sure, there’s Lexi Grey, but I don’t see that character carrying on the show. Does she even do anything anymore besides pine after Mark?
I watched via OnDemand, so I didn’t get to see the preview so I can’t comment on that Derek comment, but Alex wasn’t even on the plane. Robbins kicked him off for taking the Hopkins job.
Wasn’t it a private, medical flight or something? I assume they were supposed to be getting to work shortly after landing, anyway.
I have to say, it’s pretty cheap to be killing anyone off when they have a bunch of potential outs already in place for most of the characters.
Finally, Bailey’s boyfriend at the end there? Asshole.
IF LEXIE DIES I’M SO DONE WITH THIS SHIT
Lexie, Cristina and Mark are the only people on that plane i like.
I don’t even want to finish watching this episode. Ugh.
Son of a bitch. I hate this show some times.
I’m not entirely sure why April hasn’t realized she can move to NOLA and spend the year preparing for the next boards. Really, you have nothing keeping you in Seattle, why not follow Avery? Well, except that Owen will probably find room in his budget having lost Teddy and Lexie.
I wasn’t too surprised that Lexie died, since she was the only one to die in the ‘alternate reality’ dream episode.
I wasn’t going to watch this episode, but surfed into it just as Lexie was dying and then pretty much stayed with it.
I missed something: how exactly did the crash bunch manage to let the fire go out? The fire should’ve been their number one priority after simply keeping everyone breathing (except Lexie).
So, Lexie’s dead, and five doctors are injured and stuck in the woods without food, water, a flare gun, or fire until fall (I assume no one’s cell phone is working either). There’s not much point in speculating about what happens until we learn which actors have and have not renewed their contracts.
I wish the producer and writers would concentrate on putting out a good show instead of gory manipulative melodrama that they think will keep people watching.
And fuck you for offing Lexie.
I’m guessing that none of them really know how to keep a fire going. The guys have gone on a camping trip before in the show, but Derek fell asleep and Mark was in la-la land. Mer and Cristina probably just have no idea. Although I’d think they should be smart enough to actually gather some wood…
I was actually laughing as Christina and Meredith were walking through the woods ranting about ‘Why does this shit keep happening to us? Friggin’ guns to our heads, etc, etc.’ It was quite hilarious - I think Sandra Oh wasn’t even acting when she was delivering those lines.
I wasn’t bothered by Lexie dying, just because she seemed like her character wasn’t doing ANYTHING this season. I guess maybe that’s why they wrote her out? Just ran out of story arcs for the character?
If the level of disaster, violence, and trauma in Seattle was even a fraction of what enters the doors of Seattle Grace, no one would want to live there.
This episode annoyed me for all the same reasons. There was already enough drama with everyone planning a mass diaspora that adding a crash to it was a needless pile on.
Lexie is one of my favorites so it was sad to see her go, even if they didnt give her much to do this Spring Plus she was one of only two junior level characters. I feel bad for the actress after all the times she’s joked about carrying the “Gray” title if Meredith leaves. I hope she got some pilot offer.
And the fire going out was silly. That should have been a top priority, and they should have started a second signal fire with smoke nearby.
Wow, what a terrible way to end a season. Nothing resolved, all just setup for whatever the hell they end up doing next fall. Bleh. Should be corporal punishment for people who make season finales like that.
Don’t quite get why they didn’t want to go get a nice meal with ex-Chief. I know they gave some reasons, but they were pretty weak, and hey, free fancy food!
I wanted to smack Meridith at one point (before they found Derrick) when she was going on something"my sister’s dead my husband’s dead I can’t go on blah blah", look dumbass, your kid’s still alive, even if your sister’s dead and you don’t find your husband you’ve still got her. I really thought Christina would try to snap her out of it by mentioning Zola, nut no, she didn’t get mentioned until much later.
Okay, so maybe Bailey’s bf wasn’t quite as much of an asshole as he was made to seem last week. But long distance marriage? Yeah, sure that’ll work out well.
It was funny how Avery and April were befuddled by Torres mentioning George. “You were married? To a guy?”
Seattle Grace really does seem to be cursed. Are we sure it wasn’t built on top of an Indian burial ground or something?
Well, Callie has just gone on and on about how fabulous life is and Arizona was seen giving the international symbol for “I’m about to die tragically” (ie coughing up blood) so she’s dead.
I don’t keep up with who had a contract and who doesn’t so I actually was surprised when Lexipedia shuffled off her mortal book binding. I wasn’t even thinking about the “what if” episode. I could not believe the lack of compassion towards Arizona at first. I realize they are supposed to be dark and twisty surgeons but goddamn. I did very much appreciate Christina’s speech about getting the hell away from there. If they stay for the love of
God don’t go on the roof because the ghost of Dr Romano is going to throw one of them into a hungry vengeful helicopter soon.
GA creator Shonda Rhimes is now saying that there may be more deaths. And it seems Teddy is gone for real.
ShelliBean, I suspect you’re right about Arizona. In addition to the cough of death, she looks damn good despite the crash. Lexie was beautiful when she died. Meredith and Christina look like holy hell.
I’m putting $20 on a Callie voice over about everything changing in an instant and somehow working the cover of the original theme song into it (“nobody knows how you might end up”) from the musical episode.
I was jokingly told I was terrible as we watched for saying “Derek, shoot the flare gun directly at the helicopter so it falls on you.” I was seriously hoping he’d be the dead one because he annoys the hell out of me with his smugness. Having a helicopter fall on him would have been a lovely homage to e.r.
If I didn’t watch this show as a bonding experience, I’d be done with it as of this episode. Now that they killed off my favorite female character, I can only hope next season is the last. And the creator whining on twitter and elsewhere about how horrified she was to write the season finale they way she did? I know we’re not supposed to tell other posters to eat a bag of dicks, but does that extend to famous people too?
Mostly about Private Practice, but there’s no freakin’ way I’m starting a new thread for that.
Dear Shonda Rhimes,
Eat a bag of dicks.
Seriously,

Re: Grey’s - Fuck you for killing Lexie when Derek was right fucking there. Also, fuck you for April. I don’t even much like April, but that was some amateur D-grade horror movie slut-shaming fucktardery.
Re: PP - You know, I watch these shows because I *embrace the naked emotional manipulation. I figure that if you’re the kind of person who would never think of crying over your own crap, then crying for ten minutes a week over imaginary people is probably good for you. But brainless babies are TOO FUCKING MUCH. And the idea that harvesting the organs of a brainless baby with the consent of the mother is controversial among DOCTORS is fucking retarded. And I’m amongst the horniest humans known to man, but you know when I DON’T feel like fucking? Ten minutes after someone I love gives birth to a brainless baby. And then even less than that do I feel like playing eeny-meeny-miney-moe with multiple boyfriends, because SOMEONE I LOVE JUST GAVE BIRTH TO A BRAINLESS BABY.
Fuck you, Shonda Rhimes, for taking what was one of the more compelling characters on Grey’s and turning her into someone who spends the evening of the day that SOMEONE SHE LOVED DELIVERED A BRAINLESS BABY deciding which boy she likes best.
*Yeah, I’m sure she thinks she’s making a point and changing hearts and minds, but 1. it’s a fucking soap opera, no you’re not and 2. anyone who thinks that’s a bad idea should report for organ harvesting immediately.
