OH HEY Greys

I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy in YEARS. I believe the last time I watched it was maybe four years ago? Wow.
Basically, its because the storyline got a little TOO crazy for my taste. Its like, a half step higher than a soap opera with all the hookups, breakups, and meltdowns which is fun every once in a while, but enough to follow it religiously? no thanks.
But, after reading about six thousand facebook updates and like, eight posts on Perezhilton, I had to wonder about last night's episode.
I had heard for a few days it was going to be an intense episode based around a gunman seeking revenge on dr. webber, mcdreamy, and lexi for "killing" his wife. It seemed pretty interesting, but Greys has done these sort of heartfelt episodes (circa the suicide bomber, superbowl episode), so I didn't think it was too special.
However, after finally convincing myself to watch the two hour event, I was extremely glad I did. This episode will probably go down as one of the most well written, heart-wrenching, sit-at-the-edge-of-your-seat television events of all time. Shonda Rhimes out does herself again with something that should not be missed.
Every member of the cast had a "potential emmy" moment. And how good was Mandy Moore? I forget that she can act. Chandra Wilson once again outshines the rest of her castmates in what was one of the hardest plotlines to watch. Sandra Oh and Ellen Pompeo have great chemistry and work very well off each other. Here is Patrick Dempsey in one of his shining moments:


WARNING
SPOILER ALERT
In the end, Meredith has a miscarriage. Derrick Shepard gets shot but lives, the gunman kills himself, and many people die.

Some points:
- What a startling conversation between the Mr. Clark (the gunman), and Dr. Webber about gun laws and suicide. I'm not sure if Shonda Rhimes was trying to send an anti-gun message but that's what it looked like to me
-How awkward was Karev calling Lexi IZZIE! guh. I haven't seen too many episodes but I know of the katherine heigl drama and know she's gone and definitely know its awkward.
-OWEN CHOOSES: Christina! and not AUDREY (j/k... teddy)
-When Charles Percy died... I cried. oh yes, I cried
-I'm sorry... but April was extremely annoying. Gosh I'm so insensitive.

WHO IS THE FREAKIN' ACTOR THAT PLAYED MR. CLARK? I can't find a picture or name or ANYTHING.

Will this episode make me watch Greys next season? Idk. Probably not? But it was great and one to be noted. Nice, Greys
