I do feel very strongly. Grey's Anatomy has been very, very important to me for a very long time. If the show is just the same thing, but in a new location (new characters happen regularly as it is), what makes it different enough to stand on its own as a new show?

I wasn't bothered much by George dying. I didn't like him or Izzie much by the time they were done anyway. I miss Mark, Lexie, and Teddy when I go back and watch old episodes with them. I do love Cristina and I'll be sad to see her go, but I'll reserve judgment on how I feel about that until she's actually gone. Right now, I'm focusing on enjoying the time we have left with her. Sandra Oh is really a brilliant actress and I love watching the depth of her talent. Meredith and Derek aren't my favorite characters (I like them, but I like others much more), so if they left, I wouldn't stop watching just because of that. And again, there's no guarantee that they even will leave.
