"After Derek died, I was kind of expecting Meredith and Alex to end up together (even though I do love Jo). They'd been through so much together and both had difficult childhoods, but they somehow managed to find a balance and trust one another."

—sofiano

"Their chemistry was off the charts and the respect they had for each other was palpable. They even had relationship-like issues that they worked through during the show. The real crime on that show is them not ending up together."

—egwenger

—annaparis16

"I loved how the writers made it seem like they were going to write them getting together, until the whole series was CANCELED FOR NO GOOD REASON. I’m still mad about it."

—cbrodon
