Didn't we almost have it all?

**SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF GREY'S!**

One by one, the TV shows I've become addicted to are bidding farewell for the meantime. In the last week of April, we bore witness to Michael Scoffield entering the hellhole that is Sona Penitentiary. This week, Heroes will tell us how to stop an exploding man, House will make a human error and Grissom will try to save his living doll Sara in CSI. Last week they showed Grey's Anatomy's very painful finale, one that caused the puffiness in my eyes when I woke up Sunday morning. Only the incomparable Shonda Rimes can make me snort in laughter one moment and weep buckets the next. This season finale however, it squeezed more tears out of me.

Why does Burke have to leave eyebrow-less Cristina at the altar? Won't we be seeing more of Isaiah Washington in Season 4? What's going to happen to George and his horribly beaten up ego with the failed intern exams and Callie's promotion to Chief Resident? Will Bailey still keep up with her Nazi rep after her disappointment? Will Derek reconsider the Chief of Surgery position now that he more or less knows that Meredith isn't in it for the long haul? Will there be no happy ending for Mark and Addison now that she's reconsidering LA? And WHEN will Izzie get booted out from SGH?! Can she not fall in love with every guy she makes eye contact with? Sheesh. What a selfish b*tch. Karev, on the other hand, is too stupid for his own good. Ava/Rebecca/Jane Doe was simply asking for a reason from him to stay, and he can only mutter, "I think you should go with the decent guy." Putek.

And here I go again with my cheesy metaphors hahaha. Life can be a series of one-hour episodes that can either leave you in stitches or with an anvil-laden heart. But it's the supporting characters (no matter how big or small their part is in the whole scheme of things) that bring out the best and the worst in the lead. Some characters you can't wait to kill, some just fade into the background, some disappear only to reappear several years after, more often than not to wreak havoc (or at least confuse the lead). Feelings are expressed or hidden, strewn around and taken for granted. Consequences (dire or otherwise) are born out of previous actions (stupid, most of the time) and the lead can only make do with what she has at that moment. And when you do find other people's dramas (real or reel) ending with a sea of tears and empty boxes of tissues, sometimes it's pretty hard to imagine having a happy ending yourself.
