That was quite a wild ride.
The fifth season finale of Grey's Anatomy certainly left us wanting more, but it also left us devastated by some of the events near its conclusion. How would you rate it overall?

2 hours of gutwrenching, lovely, making me giddy, cutting my heart out, making me laugh, making me drown myself in tears, making me totally freak out, making me totally squeee.. amazingness...
Plus... MerDer union was brilliant. So them. So unique. Perfection!

I totally agree with Maddiexoxo and jay! Although the finale provided more questions than answers and although it really breaks my heart that I'd have to wait for MONTHS before the new season starts, I really loved this season. I think this is one season that would pave the way for all characters to go somewhere, whether they're facing emotional-life-altering pitchforks or actual-life-threatening ones (in George and Izzie's case).
Probably the best thing that I loved though at the end of this season (as I've always been a MerDer fan) is that Mer really got somewhere.. it's like she's come full circle, from the girl who woke up naked on her living room floor (or couch, courtesy of a one night stand) from Episode 1 of Season 1 to the emotionally stable, believes-that-she'll-survive-whatever-crisis-she's-dealt-with, optimistic-about-the-future girl that we all saw in the Season 5 finale. And all I can say is that I get why this show's undoubtedly called Grey's Anatomy from that.
Kudos to a spectacular Season 5 and I can't wait for Season 6!:)

Seriously ? Seriously ? Seriously ? Seriously ?
This is cruel. This is wrong. They really don't want to give us something ?! An answer, guys ! Ohh, I'm tired of this. It was sad. Sad. And nobody should let sad people alone without any further explanation.
Seriously ?

All I can say is OMG!!! WOW! I couldnt fall asleep after the show! It was an absolutley amazing ending! Sad, but good! Somehow I missed the 007 remark earlier so when he wrote 007 in her hand and he she said OMG, I was like, WHAT?? WHO?? HUH?? Made it even more intense for me when she screamed it was O'Malley! And then Izzy....is she leaving or isnt she? I've heard T.R. definitely was but I've been hearing she was wishy washy. But I hope they dont "kill" O'Malley off....I'm hoping they save him and he has to go away for some extensive rehab or something, that way he can come back if he ever wants too. I did find it quite strange that his best friend was having this possible deadly surgery and he just decided to leave and go into the Army. That's not like George. He really cared about Izzy. So I guess I should have figured it was him at the beginning.
And I agree with "Maddiexoxo"'s comment, I think the MerDer union was perfect! So them!
GREAT SEASON FINALE SHONDA!! Way to go!! :o)

Everyone I talk to keeps freaking out that George and Izzie are definately dead, but they're obviously forgetting about Meredith walking around in the "in-between" for 3 episodes in season 3. They could still come back. I think they'll talk then Izzie will come back or the elevator doors will just close and she'll come back.

WOW. thats all i can say, i totally agree with maddiexoxo, so many emotions! as much as i hate to say it, im almost completely sure that george is dead :'(. but i actually do think that izzie will somehow pull through. i reallly hope so, shes one of my all time favorite characters. its been less than a day since the finale ended and i already cannot wait for season 6

I don't know, I haven't got over it yet. I think it was very well written, but as a fan I hate them right now. It's too much suffering. I think what hurts more is not who dies, it's the fact that we haven't seen how the others characters deal with his lost. Somehow I think I need to see his friends been fine so I can be fine.
What worries me is that GA won't be the same after this, I really hope it's going to be the same. I want to enjoy watching the next season, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it if there is too much suffering. But I don't know how are they ging to put happy stuff in the middle of this, espcially in the next season premiere. We all have our big deal of suffering in our real lives already, don't know if I can't take more!
There were things who made me happy of course, especially the couple stuff, I love C/O, and MerDer "wedding" was cute, I love how they used Cristina's post-its, it's a beautiful detail. Those details are what make me love this show. And Meredith and Cristina's frienshipis the best thing of this series, the way they said I love you to each other in their own particular ways. Beautiful. But the last scenes were too overwhelmin, so I can't not aprecitte the happy stuff yet until I get over he ending.

I KNEW it was George from the moment he opened his eye in the trauma room when they first brought him in! Holy crap! What an episode! I think George is dead for sure (which is a shame cause he sure did look cute in his army uniform!) and Izzie will live.
Am I the only one who feels a little gipped by the MerDer pseudo wedding? I really wish they would be LEGALLY married, I mean I want her to be Meredith Shepherd!
As for George leaving right when Iz was in the middle of her cancer crisis, I think part of the reason he decided to go into the army was because he was scared for her.
AND I'M SOO HAPPY FOR CHRISTINA AND OWEN! I just thought I would throw that out there :)
Ughhh I don't want to wait through the summer! What do I do without Grey's?
