iariaWhile looking for new 2012 show trailers on YouTube I came across a video of all the Meredith/Cristina scenes from episode 8x21. It reminded me how much I love these two and their relationship. Them taking care of each other has always been one of my favourite parts of the show and these scenes were all about that. It was everything I love about them and just really reminded me why they'll always be one of my favourite pairs. "You'd be leaving me too." - and Cristina putting her hand under the door and Mer patting it... ! I think I'd forgotten how much I loved these two.
Anyway this made me curious about what happened next which lead me to watching trailers for the rest of the season including the one for the finale. And then even though I haven’t watched the show since the beginning of season 6 I just had to watch the season finale. I mean – plane crash! How could I not?

• Uh. Shouldn’t someone have gone over and checked on Arizona? I mean I’m sure she was screaming for a reason.
I loved how the show dealt with everyone’s shock and how they reacted to the crash.
• Arizona in shock and unable to stop laughing was great. I liked that scene.
• “Please tell Meredith that I love and that she was a good sister...” – Lexie. Sniff.
• Lexie’s death made me cry. I stopped watching this show just after George died and now I came back just to watch Lexie die? D: It happened so early in the episode I was so sure it was a fake out and we’d come back from break to find her simply unconscious. Her death felt so sudden, even with the goodbye, and – quiet.
• It was clear that Cristina knew that Lexie wasn’t going to make it which made me wonder why she didn’t try to find Meredith first to send her to be with Lexie.
• I'm upset that Meredith didn’t get to say goodbye to Lexie. That she didn’t even exchange any words with Lexie when she could have and, yeah, Meredith didn’t realise how bad it was before she left to look for Derek but it’s something that she will always regret and it’s just so sad.
• Mark’s pleading with Lexie and then his blankness after her death and the way he kept holding her hand and then Meredith's sobbing and Cristina's quiet tears - so sad.
• All this talk from Callie about what she’s going to do when Arizona gets home has me really worried about Arizona’s fate. It’s just happened too much now. They wouldn’t really kill Lexie and Arizona would they?
• Wow. Do these people even know the meaning of the words personal or professional? I know this is Grey’s Anatomy but still. Maybe they should finish the surgery before getting into personal stuff not stopping in the middle. Also don’t these people care about privacy at all?! All those people in that room listening to Teddy bare her soul and telling their head boss how broken he is - just yikes.
• “I don’t understand how this keeps happening. We keep dying. ... I’m getting the hell away for Seattle Grace mercy death and I’m never looking back.” – Cristina. Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.
This whole Cristina/Meredith scene was amazing. ♥
- “Keep it together anyway.” and her hand on Meredith’s face and her trying desperately to keep it together herself in the face of Meredith’s grief and fear.
- “I don’t know, maybe, but I have PTSD so you know I’m not reliable.” Heh
- “Cristina you’re still my person.” And the way Cristina says 'Meredith'. So much love. But what did Meredith say after that?
• Derek’s reaction to Lexie’s death was great – wonderfully understated.
• Okay I haven’t watch this show in awhile and when Meredith was dealing with Derek’s arm I was practically squirming in my seat – ugh, I couldn’t watch, it was gross - and yet at the same time Meredith’s repeated “please pass out” made me giggle.
• Why couldn’t one of the new residents I don’t know have been on the plane to die instead of Lexie and god forbid Arizona?
• Cristina’s rant about wanting to live and everyone having to help was excellent.
• I loved Cristina, Meredith and Derek working together to save Mark.
• LOL to Alex’s head nod when April wonders about Callie being married to a man.
• “My life is pretty damn great.” – Callie. Aaahhhh, stop saying things like that. OMG. they’re totally killing Arizona off aren’t they? The way they isolated her from the others and have barely shown her in the episode – she’s so dead. Mark’s just the fake out. She’s going to die and leave Mark a message for Callie. Not that I want Mark to die. I don’t want either of them to die!
• I was afraid when they were trying to get the flare gun to go off they would end up shooting someone with it accidentally. Probably Cristina since she’s the one in the best condition. I’m glad the show didn’t go there.
• April’s whole monologue especially the end really reminded me of Izzie.
• That Arizona/Mark scene...
“You take care of our girls.” – Mark
“No shut up. Shut up. ... No, Mark. No. ... Sophia is waiting for you. And Callie is waiting for you. And I am waiting for you. We’re going to go home together, okay.” - Arizona
“Okay.” - Mark
Yes! Yes, please! Please, please.
Also I’m a bit confused – missing several years here – but this scene really makes me think Arizona/Callie/Mark.
• Owen is such an ass – him making life choices for her and doing it ‘for her own good’ is so infuriating. Guys stop fucking doing that! Is it nice that he’s willing to sacrifice his best friend (?) so she won’t sacrifice her want/career/best interest for him? Sure and I admit if it was say Meredith/Cristina it probably would have made me cry and smile and I’d have loved it and I’m really sensitive because of Castle right now but, man, it irritated me so much. That said their tearful hug was nice.
• Wouldn’t the doctors at Boise Memorial have called someone else at the hospital when the doctors didn’t arrive and they couldn’t get through to Owen?
• I really loved Meredith sharing half of her last stick of gum with Cristina and then them huddling together.
So I guess I'm going to be watching at least the first episode of next season. I have to know what happens. Now the question is - should I go back and watch what I missed?
Anyway this made me curious about what happened next which lead me to watching trailers for the rest of the season including the one for the finale.
