OK FINE ONE MORE

I wasnt going to do anymore blogging about Greys. But Suzie and Jen are egging me on. So if your tired of reading my rants on the subject, blame them :0)
I thought the season finale was totally weak. It was all doom and gloom. Meredith lost Derek because she is too damaged to commit. Alex lost Rebecca because he is too damaged to commit. Cristina lost Preston (and her eyebrows!) because again, she is too damaged to commit. There were some things that I really liked. Izzys speech was good. The plot is thickening in that triangle and its making for a good story. I cant decide who I want George with. I liked the Christina breakdown. Showing a new, vulnerable side to her. I have a feeling this is going to make her character even more rigid by next season. I like throwing Lexie Grey into the mix. So in my opinion, the show wasnt a total waste (as the spin off was). But it certainly wasnt season finale worthy. It just seemed like another episode. They should have ended the season when Meredith fell into the water and the season finale being the episode where she met up with Denny and all the other dead people. Wondering if she is really dead of if she is coming back. That was a good enough cliff hanger to end with, bringing viewers back for next season. Most people are already sick of the Cristina/Preston wedding thing anyway. Maybe Im setting my standards too high for Greys. Its a great show, I really like it despite all the bitching I do. But there was a time not too long ago that I was waiting for that show each week like I wait for the Easter Bunny. Now its ok, but Im not on the edge of my seat anymore. According to the reviews its been getting latley (tv guide, NY post, NY times, etc) Im not the only one feeling that way. The good news? Its done until fall so you wont have to hear me bitch about it anymore!!! Now ER- that was a good finale. Ray has no legs like Lieutenant Dan! Who saw that coming???Not me! And he is bitter and mad a Neela, who is being trampled! Cant wait for that to start up in the fall!

I fell asleep during the last 15 min of it. It was not great, dramatic, or anything. You are right Merideth dying was a much better cliff hanger.

Dammit!! I've been trying to leave a comment on here for days!! It wouldn't let me!! But, yes to all. I agree. In a way I'm kinda glad, I get so mad about having to wait 6 months for my shows to start up again. This one just kinda drifted off peacefully. Desperate Housewives however, FINALLY got a little good, I think!

Wow Sally...you summed that up nicely. I agree with everything you had to say for both shows. I was completely shocked with the ER finale.
