I am long past having sympathy for June getting Hannah back. Her quest keeps hurting people. She should've escaped with Holly/Nichole when she had the chance, and then somehow try to fight for Hannah while safe in Canada with her husband and friends who could help. The stakes are no longer high for when she does something out of line. They aren't going to kill the protagonist, so what is this all really for anymore? June keeps getting chances and she keeps screwing up.

I wouldn't say Rafael is an atheist, he just doesn't adhere to organized religion. Atheists don't believe a higher power even exists, where for Rafael that's more of a gray area. At least that's the impression I've gotten throughout the series.

GA is sticking around for two more seasons because Ellen is greedy and the network needs it to help keep Station 19 afloat, thus securing a solid 2 hours of programming a week. Not because the show is peaking creatively, or any other reason of quality that should matter in storytelling.

The series finale is July 31st.

A most joyous episode. Lots of wonderful moments. The Villanueva De La Vega Solano family FTW!

Thanks for the breakdown!

I think some of the Drag Race queens are in it, too, I just can't make out who's who because it goes by so fast.

Love love loved it.

Ellen's been dragging the show's quality and reputation down with her greed. She has more than enough money to support her children and family. If she hasn't been challenged creatively all these years then why continue to do it? GA could've went out with a satisfying ending for the majority of beloved characters and couples - including MerDer, but she chose to feed her ego instead. Despite being the show's namesake, Meredith Grey was never as much of a lead as say Olivia Pope and Annalise Keating. The show has always been an ensemble. Meredith was only as good as the people around her, which is why she used to be a much better character than she is now. And Ellen clearly wasn't a great supposed-leader all those years if she let things get so toxic. She is part of the problem.

The season finale was the lowest rated episode of the series to date. 1.3 demo/5.99 million.

I still don't understand how Drogon doesn't light Jon up upon finding Dany dead. Or that Grey Worm and the unsullied don't kill him on the spot when he turns himself in. Whatever.

In Jane's defense, misguided though her attempt was, she thought he was going to be alone because he told her that he was going to the house alone to take some pictures for the showing. Still not the best time or place to do something like that, but it's not like she did it intentionally. And it tracks with the earlier episode when he was going to take her on a date to one of the waterfront homes they were showing and sit on the veranda and drink wine.

I miss when Grey's Anatomy season finales used to be riveting. Having both Miranda and Richard vocalize that Deloser is the best/star resident doesn't make it true. His intern class disappeared and the likes of Glasses and Intern Amy Schumer are nothing to write home about. The bar is set very low. Krista and Co. wasted way too much time this season trying to make him something special. At least Teddy had a fairly normal/safe/non-tragic childbirth. Derek Shepherd is rolling in his grave with the nonsense Meredith is up to. Send those kids to Grandma Shepherd, they'd be much better off. Has the acting gotten worse? Or is it just the writing. Maybe both. April, who still lives in Seattle, would absolutely be at the hospital if Jackson were seriously hurt. That is the father of her child. But will we see her? Nope! (Sarah Drew is better off)

That's because Rafael is her true love, not Michael.

That Krista is now going to be the showrunner for Station 19 as well (what happened to Stacy?) tells me that dragging Grey's further through the mud (ratings shmatings) is to keep Station 19 afloat. Grey's Anatomy used to be a beacon that stood on it's own, now it's part of a package deal.

This show does not have two seasons worth of good storytelling left. Egads! I'd be more excited about Gregg German staying if I knew Tom Koracick would be put to better use (like pairing him up with Meredith instead of reducing him to what will inevitably be Owen/Teddy). The least deserving intern to become a regular is Glasses.

Jane's choice had nothing to do with Mateo or the family unit or feeling pressured into choosing Rafael, hence her visions of what life would be like with Michael. Mateo was happy, Rafael was good, and in those visions Jane had everything "perfect" but ultimately a life with Michael is no longer what she wants. She wants to be with Rafael because she loves Rafael. She was very clear on that. All the cards have been laid on the table, and Jane wants Rafael. Love triangles are exhausting and I'm glad this has been resolved. I wish all these characters well.

Deloser taking the fall for Meredith is not romantic or cute. She sounded like a mother scolding her child. Alex Karev would not be the man he is without Arizona Robbins as a mentor. He stopped being evil spawn long before he started dating Jo, but okay Meredith. Tptb need to stop trying to make Glasses happen. Why would they send the most incompetent doctor to get such an important patient? Where's Intern Casey Parker? Link is the MVP of the season.

Is Deloser going to be on every case Meredith is on now? Talk about being forced. This coupling is the equivalent of cold, bland oatmeal. At least when Meredith worked with Derek, she was actually learning something and the cases were interesting. Ahhh, the good old days. Station 19 is no Private Practice and therefore I don't care about the crossover "events". Koracick is great. It's a shame he's wrapped up in the Owen/Teddy saga. Meredith could've done that little girl's surgery pro-bono in the interim instead of insurance fraud. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened on the show, and it would've bought them time to figure out how to proceed with any followup treatment. But alas, it's all for the after school special.

Finale sounds terribly boring, much like the majority of season 15, which turns out is only a notch or two above the abysmal season 13. Season 14 was like that surge Richard talked about before Mark died, when you think everything is okay and getting better but it's not.

Not sure how Vanji wasn't in the bottom because Brooke Lynn had a terrible snatch game but her runway killed. That at the very least gave her an edge over Vanji, who underwhelmed at both. That lip sync was amazing, though.

Horny Deloser and her brother were not Arizona's "people". She had a shallow sexcapade with one and the other rented a room from her but they rarely interacted. But Alex, Bailey, Teddy and Richard were absolutely her people. You'd think she'd have been mentioned at least once in regards to Teddy's pregnancy, and maybe she still will if Teddy runs into labor complications. I'm actually surprised by the amount of times April has been mentioned, especially by Jackson, considering the optics that tptb couldn't get rid of her fast enough. Lexie Grey and Izzie Stevens could run circles around most of these current characters. If Krista intends on being cute with callbacks, have some respect on their names.

Remember when the characters had problems that didn't solely revolve around having an addiction, battling depression and/or PTSD? When everything wasn't an after school special/social justice topic? Oh right, that's when the writing, the acting, and the characters were good. Richard's an alcoholic, Amelia is an addict, Owen has PTSD, apparently now Jo is depressed... I'm tired. Not to mention how all Grey's/Krista is doing now is writing for plot and making the characters fit around that, as opposed to writing for and staying true to the characters. This is what happens when you value money over storytelling. So what if Grey's remains ABC's highest rated show and broke the record for "longest primetime medical drama" if the stories and characters are suffering because of it.

Watching this show has become a chore. But jokes on me, because after 14 years - 8 of them exceptional - I'm not going to get off this ride in the hopes that the end is near (like next year, near). Meredith looked terrible in bed with Deloser. They do not compliment each other.

Imagine that the best part of a critically acclaimed show centered on three Latina women is the white guy. I can't relate. I'm glad Jennie Urman got the space from the network to tell her story her way and end it her way. Ratings be dammed.
