When a show used to go south, we all just mumbled to ourselves and friends later on, when we realized we weren’t the only ones watching. But in the name of Desperate Housewives, ABC has done it again. An era has ended. Grey’s Anatomy was never on Scandal levels, but it had a dedicated following, and after they killed the love interest on which the show was based two weeks ago, nothing will ever be the same. Ratings have surged and then plummeted and people are talking. Mock them if you will, but this is the crowd that tuned in to live tweet and stayed up for Scandal, then How to Get Away With Murder. Will #TGIT be a one season affair?
By the time this episode is over #GreysAnatomy will be in the year 3000 and we will learn that not much has changed but they live underwater

They are showing this scene again just to really let it sink in that Shonda Rhimes has complete control over us #GreysAnatomy

I’m still not over Derek Shepards death. I feel personally victimized by @shondarhimes. #GreysAnatomy #stillcrying
