IF YOUR NAME IS KATIE BURRIS DO NOT READ THIS!

Katie if you’re still reading this you can read this after you watch the tape of the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy that I am going to bring you tonight. So you need to STOP reading NOW.

Was last night’s season finale of Grey’s not the best? I have not cried that much during a TV show in I don’t know how long. It started in the vet’s office when they were putting Doc to sleep. I think this hit me because I wasn’t there with Mom, Dad, & Stephen when our sweet English Cocker Spaniel, Rusti, was put to sleep. Seeing Meredith crying over Doc put me into that room with Rusti at Dr. Jerry’s. Of course I think that Meredith was really crying over the loss of something that tied her and Derek together. Anytime a dog dies I am primed for more tears. And I think the makers of Grey’s know that. So the rest was easy for them.

Izzy & Denny. Ya’ll Denny died! And then Alex scooped Izzy up in his arms? I almost couldn’t take it. George & Callie. I so love Callie. The scene in the hallway…good stuff. “I have on a dress! And heels! And I shaved my legs! I’m going to the prom!” Then when Christina finally got her act together & took Burke’s hand. And Meredith told the Chief she knew he was the one who broke up her parent’s marriage. And THEN

When Derek started kissing Meredith I was like, “No! No! No! You stop that right now young man! Meredith do not kiss him! You all should not be doing this! Cut it out!” Yet the caught-up-in-the-eyes-of-Dr. McDreamy, he with the hair, part of me was like, “alright, go ahead.” But did we really need to see the panties? I mean really. Poor Fin. Fin is so sweet and cute and kind and NOT MARRIED. He’s going to be heart broken. Meredith is going to break his sweet kind widower heart! The end where they were literally standing in a triangle formation…good work Peter Horton. Good work. Fade to black. End of season. Sob sob sob.

Now the Prom thing…that was kind of weird at first. Anyhow, it was way less cheesy/7th Heaven than I thought it was going to be when they started inviting each other to prom. Do you really think the parents would want all these adult doctors hanging around? It’s just a TV show. I know.
I know.

I just stumbled on your blog and had to comment because it looks like you watch the exact same television shows as I do. Except, I probably watch more because ever since I got my TiVo and started knitting my television consumption has dramatically increased. I was emotionally drained after Grey's last night. My sister kept yelling at Derek to stop looking at Meredith...well, we see what happened when he didn't. Bad form.

P.S. I also was not upset when Chris was kicked off AI. I think he will be better off anyway.

Yeah a new knitting friend who watches my shows! :-) I was so torn with the Meredith-McDreamy thing. I was like CUT IT OUT YOU TWO! But then I just gave in and was like, "whatever!"

Patrick Dempsey is usually at the Indy 500. Now he's a co-owner of a race team. If I see him I'm going ask how in the world he (okay, McDreamy) could be attracted to a girl with such pointy elbows and stringy hair.

Okay, I watched it last night and, wow--I think I'm emotionally spent. But man what a great episode! I was so so sad that Danny died, and with Izzy, and then Christina finally held Burke's hand, and and . . . sigh. What a good episode.

PS: Thank you so so much for taping it for me!

The last time I cried that hard during a tv show was when Joe finally proposed to Helen in an elevator on Wings.

I am emotionally drained by the fact that you all are emotionally drained by a TV show. Then again, I emotionally drain easy.
