Well, the day is upon us. The two-hour season finale of Grey’s Anatomy is only a few hours away. Are you excited? Are you bouncing from anticipation? I know I am!
I’m opening up a discussion thread so we can funnel all of our excitement about tonight’s episode into an easy to find place.
Last week I polled the Grey’s Anatomy News community to see who you thought the lucky couple would be partaking in the “major” and “unexpected” kiss we’ve been promised. Despite the comments stating that no way would it be Meredith and Derek it does seem like a vast majority of you do think MerDer will be it. Now, no doubt they’ll be locking lips in tonight’s episode, but are they really the major and unexpected kiss? Guess we’ll find out!
I’ll be posting a recap of the episode this weekend, so for those of you with no access to the episode check back here for the play-by-play. But of course do pass by after the episode to discuss the events of the finale; the good, the bad, the shocking … or perhaps the disappointing.
Further discussions that might interest you:
- Patrick Dempsey’s Spoilers for Tonight’s episode
- Spoilers on The Kiss
- Ongoing Discussion on Callie/Hahn

Not the best finale and way too many interruptions- I agree- Why is Meredith so complicated it- who hasnt had a rough life LOL but geez anyhow I guess there is a purpose- I think the Callie kiss thing was thrown on there – I never saw it coming- I hope McDreamy makes it back- no way!!

What was that song that was playing during the episode???
it was a piano based ballad sung by a female. It kind of reminded me of Amy Winehouse. I think i remembr hearing “collide”, and “i love it when”. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP???

I agree with Jessica. Derek is going to get in a car wreck and will either end up with amneisia or die. Now that Meredith is ready to commit something tragic will happen.

the song I’m looking for I can’t find. it was that other one that sounded like Amy winehouse – intense – and it was played during the (almost) final montage when everyone was kissing. It’s making me nuts. someone, please!

Just a heads up, anytime anyone wants to know the music from the show, you can go to this website: http://www.tunefind.com
They tell all the songs played on a lot of shows, not just Grey’s Anatomy.
Anyway, the finale was great! Not like what I expected, but that’s one of the things I love about Grey’s.
I wish next season started NOW! :)

@jp, thanks! but i couldn’t find it on tunefind either :(

Kelly…why Mer is so complicated? Trust me I’ve had a rough life in the likes of Meredith, and even worst. She has every right to be complicated and having issues.

i think the finale was AWESOME!! and for the candles not being Meredith like, well in my opinion, the needed something big to show that she has changed, and is making an effort, so the candles were totally right!

I agree that this wasn’t the best finale ever, but given the short season they were working with and the goals they had to accomplish in that time span, it was better than I had really expected. Besides, it’s a nice break from the “will they really let Meredith die?” hanger we’re usually left with.
I could not be happier with the whole Christina storyline. It’s about time she got her groove back and it’s about time she let Hahn know she’s more of a rockstar than Hahn would ever believe.
Kudos to George for standing up for himself.
Thank God the whole Rose thing is over. And I know everyone else is disagreeing with me, but kudos to Derek for going to Rose and clearing his conscience. It’s a new start for him and Meredith, he needs to do this. Last time he didn’t come clean to Meredith or to Addison about what was going on and look at the mess it made. This time, he’s making a clean break and leaving himself 100% free for Meredith. It did tear my heart out to hear him say to her (after the first operation) that after the second operation they were through, that he didn’t want to work with her, see her, or talk to her again.
I can’t seem to find myself too involved in the whole storyline with Richard and Adelle, but surely there’s a greater purpose to it.
Callie and Hahn……I don’t like this storyline. Call me a Conservative Christian if you want (I’ll own up to it), but I also just really like Callie and Mark and want to see something happen with them (besides, Hahn looks a LOT like one of my aunts and it just weirds me out to see her kissing a woman for that reason).
Another person said they hoped nothing came of the George/Lexie peck. I agree because, as they said, that will put Christina as the only one of the female friends that he hasn’t slept with. Lexie is good moral support for George and I appreciate their friendship. I wouldn’t want to see it complicated the way his friendship with Izzie was.
Alex…..AMAZING episode for Alex. Justin Chambers deserves an award for his performance. He had my heart and my tears in every scene. The last scene with Izzie just had me all torn up inside. I could feel what Izzie would be feeling. Trying to figure out how best to handle it without hurting Alex more than he was already hurting. Great scene with those two.
And to end, yes, I know the whole candle thing with Meredith wasn’t “her”, which is why I appreciated it all the more. It’s something she never would have done before. Yet she did it, she showed him she was ready to build a life and a home with him. I think the fact that she did it was her way of showing him that she was ready to put forth an effort and not just coast along and let him carry the relationship.
Great show all around. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Did anyone catch that quote from Meredith towards the end? When she was trying to get a hold of Derek and she hung up calling him a “stupid brain man”? haha, loved it!

I had the biggest smile on my face when George told the chief how awesome he is. I can’t wait to see what happens with him next season.
And to be quite honest, Merideth and Derek are boring me a little. I am glad they’re back together, though.
Callie and Haun! I lovelovelovelove the idea of them together. I’ve been waiting for them to hook up ever since Addison suggested it.
BLAHH, I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON.
