I loved it. The season finale was violent, but I didn't feel like it was gratuitous violence. The violence was the story and how the violence will shape the characters paths is the story. Meredith, with the help of Christina and Izzie, got up and showered and acted like everything was normal after the bomb. She has never been a weak, crybaby character(not that mourning a miscarriage would be weak.) But emotionally, she has been dark & twisty. I don't think it is at all out of character for her to soldier on during her miscarriage. In the flashbacks of her with her mother, you see Ellis raising a kid who would just "be extraordinary." Avery(the good-looking doc) has already made a play for Yang before at the party earlier in the season and again at the hospital the day after the party. I think with the Teddy/Owen/Yang triangle over(Owen chose Christina,) Owen/Yang/Avery will be the new triangle. Avery showed confidence in Christina in making the decision that she would operate on Derek without any of the attendings. She loves that validation and some of her biggest fights with Owen have been about him not having her back. Avery would be a new romance chapter for Christina, as she has always been with teacher/mentor/superiors. While he does have the powerful family connection, he is only a resident and therefore an equal on a professional footing.

I LOVE Castle and The Mentalist! I haven't watched Greys all season, and I was a huge fan. I'm nit sure why I don't watch, I just don't. I've never understood why it's cruel to prolong the suffering of an animal, but we are forced to watch our loved ones waste away in agony.

I personally did not care for this episode at all. It was making the point that one tiny thing done one way can affect a lifetimes worth of change or outcome. I think they should get back together and Yang needs to just get over herself and realize it is not always all about her, he is a great man and loves her. She can not have it both ways.

I am heading off to bed, but I did watch the show just now. I enjoyed it. The striking scene was, of course, of the mother who had lost her son determining to sit vigil for the lone survivor, a little girl, till her family came. I find it believeable for one family to do such a kind and caring act, but I found it too scriptish that several families would stay, and that their "secret" did not come out from personnel coming in and saying something or the press. Derek's going off without Meredith to camp at the house site seemed silly on his part to me. And Meredith seemed like a good mommy already. It will be interesting how they use April, the new chief resident. One of my favorite characters is Bailey, and I was impressed with the steps she took to protect her son. My other favorite is Christina, and she was true to form tonight.
