It’s the end of an era for me. I know it is just a TV show, but I loved it. I would watch old seasons over and over again. I was a die-hard McDreamy fan. I never missed an episode. Then after watching tonight’s episode, I am done. With Derek dying tonight I will watch the funeral next week and that’s it.
Yes as I sit here and type this I have tears coming out my eyes. I can’t say it enough; I loved watching Derek on Grey’s Anatomy. I have been a fan of Patrick Dempsey’s since my preteen years of Can’t Buy Me Love. I would watch that movie over and over again. When I saw him on the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy I was hooked. I knew I would watch this TV show no matter how bad or good it was. I was in it for the long haul.
I loved watching McDreamy so much that I got a onesie for S when he was a baby for his first St. Patty’s Day that said, “I’m a McCutie.” I knew that Patrick Dempsey wanted to get out of his contract early. When I heard he signed a 2-year contract I was excited. That would mean he was on this season and next season. When he filed for divorce from his wife, I knew this could be the being of the end. I guess he got what he wanted and they ended his contract early. He got out of two contracts in one year!
It’s one more show I can take off my DVR. I really don’t have a point to watch it anymore. He was the only reason I still watched. I can’t say how disappointed I am. They sure did keep the lid tight on this one. There wasn’t even a leak out on the web. I searched last week for over an hour and couldn’t find anything. All I have to say is if this is a big bad dream I am going to be soooo pissed.
