  1. I've caught up with the links you all posted here. The AVclub one is really good. Ironically though, the 2 hour special next week will probably get great ratings allowing Shonda to say "Look ABC, we can survive without him!". But the shock factor will wear off quick and I fear for season 12 ratings.
  2. This is one idea I haven't heard yet and I like it a lot! Shonda would still get all the drama and Derek could live offscreen most of the time. Seriously, there were a million ways how they could've dealt with the "I need some time off" issue!
  3. So what's the general consensus in the media regarding the future of the show after this stunt? From what I've read, it looks like the journalists are criticising Shonda for how she dealt with Patrick's request for more time off, but they are doing it in a very reserved way. And I've seen only one article stating that the show might not survive this.
  4. I've registered from long time lurking just to say thank you to all the posters who can put into words what I'm feeling after watching this episode. You guys are amazing :) MerDer deserved better, this show deserved better and Patrick deserved better. There were better ways to solve this situation if Patrick wanted out. Killing off a character is just a terrible solution for the fans that sticked with this show for 11 years. I mean - they did such a wonderful job with Sandra Oh leaving. About the episode iteself - I hated how they kept showing that everything was fine - he survived the car crash! The cops came, but he's ok! (Meredith's hallucination). It was so, so manipulative of the viewer. Actually, the last few episodes were one huge not-so-subtle foreshadowing. And let's not even start on the inconsistencies you guys mentioned in the storyline and regarding the accident... The only part that I liked were the scenes at the hospital where Derek died - his voiceovers were heartbreaking, And of course Ellen was excellent. I know that the people involved in the show don't owe us anything, but after this episode I feel cheated as a viewer. Grey's has been running for so long, that it became something of a safe haven for me - like a comfort blanket. It is the show that I watch the longest. And now they killed one of the core characters and it wasn't driven by the story but by behind the scenes drama. I know it happens, but I didn't expect it from Grey's. I'm grateful for the 11 seasons, but it is the first time that I wish they ended the series earlier - maybe it wouldn't have to come to this. I kinda dread the next episodes even though I love the characters :( I just don't know how they can finish the show after next season (or whenever it wil be) and give the fans the payoff we deserve. And I don't think I will ever be able to watch reruns knowing how it all ends. Lately, I was thinking about starting Scandal, but no way am I gonna give Shonda another chance to break my heart :)
