I love Link and his close ups were gorgeous but let's not forget about this beauty! I mean, look at him!
The Japril scene has reached almost 50.000 views in 3 hours. The last scene with Meredith and all those flashbacks is still at 18.000.
Get rid of them, destroying YEARS of history and let April get married in front of Jackson was just the delusional thinking of a very petty person.
Krista was typing that kiss into the script throwing up and crying I just know it.
Jesse literally said: Japril endgame or you'll never see my ass on that set again.
He flew from NY to LA in his 1 day off only to give us that kiss. He really is our captain.
Japril Nation, at last, we won.
Me too! This look is TRUTH and I'm choosing to believe it!
I decided that for my own sanity this is what I’m gonna hold into for the next four months. Despite everything they want us to believe and despite what they want us to forget I believe in what I see and THIS look screams LOVE, this is a look of pure adoration, and he only has looked at ONE person this way aka the LOVE of his life.
I hope you guys like…eventually live the life you want to live and I hope nothing haunts you for too long and I hope you’re all kind to yourselves
I can’t write this. And I’m sorry. I absolutely love writing these reviews. It is so much fun to take a deeper look at the episodes and discuss them with you guys. But it’s not fun anymore. So many of you have written me to tell me how much you enjoy reading my reviews and that I often give you a different perspective on things, so I apologize if this is a disappointment. But the show was a disappointment, too. We have loved this show and these characters for years, and season thirteen tried its best to destroy many of them. And maybe it succeeded.
Jackson, April, and Maggie - I really thought they wouldn’t go there. Not only because Jackson and Maggie have zero chemistry, but because the uproar from the fans has been deafening. I understand not wanting to let fans control the show, but I don’t understand deliberately writing stories that the fans hate. There is no way that Shonda, Debbie, the writers, and the actors don’t know how the majority of the fans feel about this and they are choosing to ignore it and assuming we will still watch because we hung in there for this awful season. That is disrespectful to the fans and to the actors. I know that not everyone agrees, but I would argue that Jesse and Sarah are keeping most of the fans watching. And poor Kelly is just playing Maggie getting thrown into different triangles. And for what? Maggie is already a difficult character to like. Putting her in between Jackson and April will only make that worse. Kelly is capable of so much more. I have said all season that this is bad writing and continuity, but it is also lazy. They are writing easy story lines. These are stories that I would expect from a novice writer in the first few seasons of a show, not from season 13 of Grey’s Anatomy. The show has shown us they can write better stories, so this is a conscious choice not to. We aren’t interested in love triangles and crushes. These are doctors who have grown and grown up over time, but instead of showing that, they are making them play pass the STD. We are invested in these characters and we want them to be happy. All of them. They can be happy and still have good stories. Yes, the writers would have to get more creative, but that is what makes good television. In 13x23, Maggie was throwing sad eyes at Mer and Riggs for having a conversation and now, just hours later, we are supposed to believe she suddenly has feelings for Jackson. That is lazy. Japril were used for ratings. Debbie baited us with the pictures and she knew it would work. And now they are trying to keep us watching season 14. I never thought I would say this, but at this point, I’ve decided to stop watching. Maybe I will change my mind, but honestly, the show doesn’t deserve the loyalty the fans give them. I hope they surprise me and fix it but I am no longer hopeful. I have read so many comments on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, and even the ancient Grey’s message boards that some people still use, and the majority of fans are in agreement. The finale was terrible. We got a Japril/Maggie triangle, no Jolex, no Jo and basically no Alex, Griggs are probably over after a season of a painful triangle with Maggie, Ariliza is maybe over (not that I care), Stephanie left (Jerrika may be the smartest one of all), and Omelia held hands. That was what they chose as the season thirteen finale of one of the most-watched and loved shows in television history. Honestly, it’s embarrassing.

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."
Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.
The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.
VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.
NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.
