One thing that's been really really really bothering me lately it's the story with Bailey's husband, am I the only one that remembers Tucker going out in a date with another woman? I really thought they're were over, and suddenly a couple of epised back Bailey tells Arizona something about a husband waiting in her house! WTF This storyline doesn't make much sense... I'm more tired of Bailey than of crazy Izzie having sex with dead-Denny actually. As for the other characters, I'm ok with them lol

the season ending was a shocker!!! I was one of the ones yelling at the TV "OMG It's George!!!". Can't wait until next season!!

Why don't TV marriages ever require marriage licenses, unless the license is involved in hijinx?

"We wrote vows. We're married now." What a crock. Same thing bothered me about the Izzie-Alex marriage. (That, and the guests that would have been invited to M & D's wedding.)

Other than that, I really liked the finale.

I haven't read every comment yet, but I agree with what I've seen so far. George off the elevator in his Army uniform signifies he died a hero (TK Knight never waivered even once. He wanted off the show, no fuss no muss. He's gone folks.)

Izzie on the elevator in the prom dress I think represents her going to join Denny in the afterlife. If she steps off the elevator she will be making the decision to die.

BUT George's spirit will stop her from getting off--that's why he's there. It'll be the last heroic act he does (Izzie lives.)

Why would they both have to be dead/dying to "know" that the other is.. ? I don't think they necessarily "know" or "don't know" anything.. They were close in life, I think it's completely believable that if just *one* of them were dying or gravely ill or injured that they'd have thoughts of the other, so it could be that simple. I also don't think it's such a stretch to think that "death/dying visions" could be just as unexplainable or illogical as, say, dreams are. I mean, I've dreamed of being in my underwear at school, but I've never actually BEEN in my underwear at school, and I don't think it's a vision of the future, either. ;-) So.. George *could* envision Izzy looking beautiful, or she *could* envision George in uniform. Hell, she could've just as easily pictured him in a schoolgirl uniform for that matter.

Logically speaking, within the show, I think Izzie has a chance of surviving, as Derek already pointed out that she had an "operable brain tumor" that they just operated(supposed successfully) on. George, however, was dragged by a bus and his skull was smashed(they said), so his chances look pretty grim to me. Given the current state of their conditions, I think it would be a lot harder to pull George back from a smashed skull, than jumpstart Izzie's heart after a *successful* surgery.

Logically speaking outside of the show, I've read the interview/comments from Shonda Rimes, and it sounds to me like she's failing to confirm that Katherine Heigl is leaving, but she's much more vague and neither confirms nor denies TR's status at all.

I disagree with many of the comments. I don't think the elevator has anything to do with anything really. The significance is Izzy in the dress, going to see Denny. Thats the same shot of her getting into the elevator that they have been using over and over again, the obviously can't have her going anywhere else, because they don't have film of it.
So, I don't think the "going up or down" really has anything to do with it. I think its more closely related to that in-between place Meredith went after she drowned. It had that same strange tint to the color and it was empty. She came back from that because she chose to, so now we have to see what Izzy and George are going to do.
I do think their outfits might give a clue though, because Izzy's wearing an outfit from the past, and George is wearing one he's never been seen in before, his is about the future.

Oh yeah, it was also funny that right before Yang told Meridith she's changed, my roommate asked "When did she become an actual likeable human being?"

loved the ep! I realized right before Meridith did that it was George.

Anyway, my favorite part was the Sload/Lexie story. when Sloan said "I'm a better woman than you." I laughed hysterically, then rewinded & watched that scene again.

I keep replaying the last few minutes of the show. Really awesome.
And yes, George totally looks hot on his uniform.

Can't wait for the next season!

Kaley didn't turn down the role, she was forced to remove herself from consideration by CBS due to her current commitment to Big Bang Theory. Shame because she would have had a blast in that role!

The final episode was great. If George and Izzie live or die depends on the actors coming back or not. Katherine will probably win another Emmy, she will probably insult somebody else, and the rest of us will go on with our boring lives, while the actors keep making millions and millions of dollars more than they already have.
