EXPLORE All The Shades of Grey

I didn't think this could get any better. But it did. This is the Grey's Anatomy I know and love. When they do things like this, well, I remember why I fell in love with this show in the first place. I loved every single moment of tonight's episode. I loved how it began with the end, leaving us to figure out how they'd end up in those places by the end of the episode. And the dancing...the dancing will probably go down as one of my absolute most favorite scenes ever. It even beats out the Cristina/Burke dancing scene of season two. The song, the slow motion, it was perfect.
Every single storyline was amazing. I loved seeing the different sides of each character, and each character had their own issues to deal with. I loved how the racist storyline was turned right back around on Bailey. At the same time, it shocked me, because I didn't even see it that way. I couldn't believe what George said to Nazi-man, but it was utterly spellbinding and was an amazing speech.
It's a shame Seth Green's character had to die, but I see the reasoning behind it...it was to help Lexie grow, and get Meredith and Lexie together (another reason why the end was so phenomenal).
I loved Alex's monologue to Rebecca/Ava. It was so "old Alex," and harsh, and probably so true too. I just don't understand how they went from that to sex... Nonetheless, the repercussions of that should be interesting when Grey's returns (whenever that may). Especially considering Lexie's right downstairs dancing...
I like that Izzie finally realized that she's not Cristina. Because Izzie is so far from Cristina it's amazing they're even friends (in a sense). I was glad to see George and Izzie talk about their relationship...the turnout was quite interesting, but actually quite pleasing, and I look forward to seeing what happens with them, because there's so many things that could...
With Bailey, I'm sincerely worried for her. I've heard about what may be coming up in the next episode, whenever that may air, and I'm really worried for her. She's such a strong person and her husband just doesn't get it (although I guess I can see both sides), and, I'm just worried. Really, really worried. And I'm interested to see how this event in the next episode will help or ruin her marriage...
And, finally, we must come to Derek, Meredith, and Rose. I hate myself for this, I really, really do, because I'm a huge MerDer fan and was so proud of Meredith for making progress (so freaking proud), and then he kisses Rose...and I...smiled. During the whole thing. I actually felt happy. I expected to feel disgusted, but I felt happy and I couldn't believe it. I must actually like Rose. I look forward to seeing what happens with that whole thing, because Meredith is making progress...so much progress...

Ugh...I just looked at the boards. It upsets me a ton. A ton. People are FREAKING OUT over the Rose/Derek kiss. Like, threatening to stop watching, freaking out. That, seriously, is the only thing I'm seeing people discuss about it. I don't get what the big deal is...I mean, seriously, it's not as if the relationship's going to last forever (this is TV), and Shonda's doing this to turn the tables. For the past three years, Derek's been wanting Meredith and she won't take him. Now, Meredith wants Derek and he's got someone else. It makes perfect sense. But I'm worried for you guys. Because Grey's Anatomy is such an amazing show and I just don't want to see it go the way of The O.C. (ratings-wise, I mean, creatively, it was amazing LOL).

Nevertheless, in my opinion, you guys did an AMAZING job tonight with Crash Into Me. I loved it so much...definitely more than Part One, honestly. Here's to hoping you guys make more episodes like this.
