I feel like they’ve been saying it’s the last season of Grey’s Anatomy for, like, the last 5 years, and yet here we are with the show still airing new episodes. THIS is the last season (I think?), and they’re pulling out all the stops to make it shocking and intense and get some old fans that abandoned the show years ago back into the game. Case in point? McDreamy’s dead! HOW CAN THIS BE?!
If you don’t watch the show or didn’t catch this ep, here’s how it all went down: Dr. Shepherd heroically saved the lives of a family in a car accident, only to then be T-boned in an accident himself and seriously injured. Apparently the surgeons working on him were major fuck-ups, so he narrated his own march towards death and then Meredith had to come and pull the plug on him. So long, McDreamy!
Admittedly, I never watched the show – not because I wouldn’t totally love it, but probably because I would. I’d fall into a Grey’s Anatomy k-hole and never get out. Is it worth going back to watch? I know some of you must have been fans over the years, so let me know if it’s worth my time.
Anyway, people are losing their shit over this online and even got the hashtag #RIPMcDreamy trending on Twitter. Sad. In so many ways.
@shondarhimes why do you keep taking everyone we love. WHY?! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS. #GreysAnatomy

God bless us everyone.
That girl who stated “Character deaths impact me like the death of a real person” is obviously an idiot who has never had someone close to her pass. No one is as sad about McDreamy as they are when, say, a parent or close family member dies. Get a grip, people.
