I should make one of those "is the boat still stuck?"–style websites, but it's "Do I still watch this objectively bad show?"

YES

I hope Deluca left because the actor wants to be free for pilot season

Yay! Back on FF! I knew you’d come back to the dark side eventually DOT! The Teddy episode was BONKERS!

"What if we do a whole Christmas Carol episode with the ghosts and the what-if's and shit, but instead of Christmas, we have 9/11?"

No apologies for spoilers, because a) this is a whole season thread and b) it's terrible anyway, so who cares...

DeLuca is dead as disco.

All I know is that the pilot used a local underground bike race called the Dead Baby DownHill (Seattle does have hills) as a plot point, that I always hoped to ride (intending to come in last) but I have seen the trophy up close.

No, no, I know he's dead, but I hope it was his decision to leave and not just bizarre writing.

Gotcha, gotcha. Sorry for the misread.

Bizarre writing and an ill-conceived plot to make me watch Station 19. (Never!!!!!)

I watch (and enjoy!) Station 19 but it was a shitty move to put all of DeLuca’s murder in a S19 episode!! He’s a central Grey’s character FFS. Carina’s storyline has almost entirely moved there too.

Anyone else insanely sick of the Meredith Limbo plot line? Either die or don't die, I honestly don't care anymore just get off the damn beach. And get some sunglasses so you stop squinting so much!

How long until the Grey's Anatomy Ghost Parade brings back Denny? Not really a pivotal character for Mer specifically, but he does seem to exist at the intersection of Character Who Gets Unlimited Ghost Passes and Famous-ish Actor They May Want to Give a Go to Again.

I submit for your consideration the theory that Grey is stuck on the beach a) because of real world contract negotiations; if Pompeo doesn’t renew her contract they’re going to kill off Meredith or b) Pompeo just doesn’t want to have to film indoors regularly because of COVID.

Also, Teddy episode was kinda freaky. Also also, if there’s desire for S19 chatter, I’d be here for it.

Cool! I will start the threads, I watch later as I'm in France.

Are the seasons not needed differently elsewhere? They're only up to season 17.

I think by "S19" they mean Station 19, not Season 19.

Yes!

Ah, silly of me. That does make more sense.

Remember kids, if someone you loved dies, it's because they didn't love you enough

Or, alternately, because you didn’t cry hard enough for them to live.

Ok good to know deluca was murdered in another show- I was so confused about how he got stabbed and assumed that due to Covid they didn’t want to. Do a whole big scene. And I guess apparently Ben had a tumor? Seriously- I’m never going to watch Station 19 - they need to not have these massive gaps in a single show.
