Finale Recaps and Season Reviews for GREY'S ANATOMY, COMMUNITY, PARKS ... Collider.com (blog)
Had been lacking since Isaiah Washington bigoted himself off the show after season three. Plus, virtually all of my favorite characters from the initial seasons (Alex, Miranda, Sloan) have stuck around.I always respect a creator who can make an event out of the finale, which Shonda can do in spades. Even though I knew that the episode revolved around a shooter roaming the hospital, the moment of the first shot was superb, and truly shocking**. The lingering shot of the newly hollow head of Dr. Reed? Perfect.
“Whiny” Meredith always got on my nerves (no matter how justified her emotional issues are), so I’ve really enjoyed “Tranquil” Meredith this season. Now that we’re done with the will they/won’t they of Mer and Der, I was on board with the pregnancy story line. I think I would enjoy watching the two start a family, so I was disappointed that the high-stress situation induced a miscarriage. Although, it almost would have been cool to kill off Derek in the episode rather then tease it fairly convincingly, but I ‘m pretty sure I don’t actually want that. It works better as a theoretical finale moment then an actual plot development.
