well Jennifer I thought I wouldn't like April and Alex, but I must say they were cute

I don't really consider that a throw back, Unless you are talking about mark coming out with out a shirt on? Because as far as i know, Derek didn't even know she was pregnant. But Addison was predictable as always, no matter what Reality, Seriously she was going to pass the kid off as Derek's, I figure mark didn't know as well, I also loved that he didn't say which Shepherd he was there for.

Once again i was expecting everyone to actually end up together, That didn't happen at all. All of them wanted other people then the ones they were with. I think it was a waste of an episode and not only that a ratings ploy.

Of course it was a ratings ploy, it's February sweeps. I personally enjoyed the episode. And to those that didn't, thankfully for you it's a one-off standalone episode and not a new narrative we have to follow. Next weeks promo shocked me. The thought of Cristina almost ... Thank god Owen was there.

JaSam4Life

So this is there best idea for Sweeps?

smoothaise

It beats that musical.

WalaBridget

I though the AU was much better than the musical
I mean the musical was a disaster but an AU has been done by others shows.

runawaaay

it kinda does

I must admit I was very adamant to the idea of AU but I don't think it was all that bad.

QueenMeredith

I agree, I was dreading the AU alot, but it wasn't that bad.

JaSam4Life

Au was worse IMO I could come up with a hundred different ways to start sweeps that would be better then last nights episode. this is just lazy writing.

LostInTime

Personally , I loved the AU episode,
I liked seeing what life would have been like if... Basically because I've wondered that about Mer over the years, Like what if Richard picked Ellis etc
It was kind of fun to see Mer all perky and April Like and I loved seeing her Meredith Webber, the father -daughter relationship between her and Richard was my favorite part
I also appreciated that the show circled back to the pilot at the end
The conversation beween Mer and Cris and MerDer
I didn't get why Callie was in cardio though but I don't really care ha ha.

I liked it for a stand alone episode and I liked it for a sweeps episode.

McMallie

I LOVED the AU episode! It was different and interesting. I wouldn´t mind having one of this every once in a while

It was fun to see that Meredith was the old Arizona. A rainbow with legs
And the Mc Dreary line, priceless! Owen and Callie was just too weird. Thank god it was AU.

It was great to see Addison back and how the stories related so that there was a scene that connected the couples to the real show. Each real couple had a moment.

Best of the episode: MADDISON baby

And the end with MerDer, just how they started. great finale

Maité

In season 3 yeah, Mark comes out behind Derek shirtless and says "well, this is awkward" just like in this scene.



I thought it was FUN. That's what it was supposed to be, it was entertaining and I personally enjoyed it a lot

WORD. And it was the only couple that isn't together in the real show and had a meaningful scene at the end of this episode.

McMallie

Yes, it was weird mainly cause it was not just the cheating thing but because there was a baby involved. In the AU there was no abortion.

In the end, It was nice to see that Shonda still considers Maddison a couple in her mind. She has always been a fan of those two

redrose13

ahhhh tell em about it! it's been one my most favorite songs so it was nice to hear it on the show!

I have a feeling they might go with Alex/April route in the upcoming future. but he really needs to start being nicer to her or it wont make sense

Also kinda random but everytime I see addison on Grey's I feel like she never actually left lol

BeautifulMistakex

This was AMAZING. I loved all of the throwbacks to the earlier seasons..

Mark/Addison! So excited for that. I missed Addison and seeing them together. Addison should be back on the show!

I love AU Derek/Meredith and Cristina/Meredith. I almost like AU Cristina/Meredith more than the one on the show.. whoops.

Alex/April.. I can see it. You never know. I also loved seeing Alex/Meredith.. my ultimate Grey's crackship.

I also liked that they mentioned Izzie, George and Burke.. great touch there.

I didn't really like C/O but I don't particularly like them in the non-AU world.

I also LOVED the "Into the Fire" song towards the end. Just like the second episode ever! Great song choices overall.
