hit by a metaphorical auto perhaps?

[(Anonymous)]

What happened, OP?

[(Anonymous)]

They killed off one of the very popular characters who has been on the show since the beginning.

[(Anonymous)]

I see, thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

Please tell me it isn't Cristina.

SPOILER WARNING

It was Derek.

[mfirefly10]

I stopped watching when Cristina/Sandra Oh left but I feel awful for fans who stuck it out all these years just for that character/couple.

[dinogrrl]

I loved how the Yahoo front page was plastered with no fewer than seven different articles at the same time about the latest happening in that show as it happened. It was like, 1) I like how the site assumes I'm interested in that show despite never giving any indication of such, and 2) holy wall-to-wall spoilers Batman, or that's what I'd have said if I were interested in the show.

[(Anonymous)]

That character was a dick, if you were seriously still watching even through season 11 for that sole character, you deserve this fictional loss.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, your an utter asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated him. He said and did so many things that were so dickish. Meredith had plenty of dick moments of her own, especially in the later seasons, but he wasn't McDreamy for me.

For me, it's not even about his death. It's about the fact that the show creator just kills off characters constantly for cheap drama. The shooting was pushing it. The plane crash was just dumb. A car crash? Why the fuck do these characters even leave the house when they're dropping like flies??

[(Anonymous)]

I don't watch the show, but even I was annoyed by the character deaths. I hate cheap drama deaths, and it tends to be a major reason why I quit a lot of shows. Or don't start them to begin with.

[philstar22]

See, while I did hate Derek, the reason I don't care was because the actor wanted to leave. It was either Derek dying or Derek leaving his wife and kids and never coming back. And that would have been so completely out of character. I felt the same way about Mark, who I did care about. He never would have left Sophia, so when the actor left dying was the only thing that made sense.

[(Anonymous)]

Best comment I've ever seen to describe this show is it's like a really long Final Destination movie.

[dahli]

All of this. It's like every time the rating drops, the creators makes a dramatic asspull.

[(Anonymous)]

This show is still on?

[(Anonymous)]

I was in the middle of season 8. I read the spoiler. I'd also heard about the deaths of Mark and Lexie. I just stopped watching. Not hard. I started watching Buffy. It's good!

[intrigueing]

I'm sorry, but a comment about being upset about character deaths in one show...and deciding to watch Buffy instead? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. *~*

[(Anonymous)]

I can live with character death! I can't live with cheap, awful character death that's just used to milk emotions out of its viewers, and has literally no narrative significance. No thanks.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm impressed if you're still spoiler free for Buffy! I didn't watch it until a few years ago, and I knew most of the big events just from osmosis, even if I didn't always know exactly when they would happen, and it didn't lessen my enjoyment (there was one small thing I was not spoiled for that I loved). But I don't mind be spoiled in most cases, so it's kind of a personal taste thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been watching the show on and off for years, though I lost real interest a long time ago. But as a casual viewer I was raging, and I don't even like Derek, jesus I'd be flipping tables if I were a longtime fan, let alone a shipper of that pairing.

I mean the character's been there since literally the first minute of the pilot, like I'd almost respect it as bold storytelling if I thought the creator had anything planned beyond 20 minute plothole melodrama before everyone promptly forgets about him.

Text: I was done with this show years ago

But now I’m really done

#TOTALFAIL

Any remote interest I had on it has died a
bitter
ridiculous
death.

[dahli]

Holy Cracker, he died?

I'm... actually not as shocked, if I really analize it well. The show went to hell even before they decided to introduce new characters just to kill them off.

If you were truly shocked by a melodramtic death on Grey's, we weren't watching the same show.

[(Anonymous)]

It is the most common way that characters/actors leave the show.

Denny - died of a stroke after a heart transplant, but only after Izzie compromised his medical equipment to move him up the transplant list
Ellis - died while Meredith was having a near-death experience
George - hit by a bus (hell, he even already had a storyline out)
Adamson - shot by gunman
Percy - shot by gunman
Adele - died of a heart attack following surgery on Miranda's wedding day
Brooks - electrocuted
Henry - died on Christina's table
Lexie - plane crash
Mark - from injuries sustained in plane crash

Plus, Meredith's stepmother, Alex's father, George's father, April and Jackson's son, and Christina's Mayo Clinic mentor.

And, frankly, if Derek had to go, I would rather they killed him off then just have had him leave Meredith and their kids.
