I am strongly considering watching old Grey's which I haven't done in 6 years. Even before Derek...anyway, I was mad at what the show had become and didn't want to watch it.

But now I kind of want to because I need comfort. Like MerDer and Mark. Do you guys get mad watching it?

So I started. The amount of medical errors in the first twenty minutes should have told us what this show would become. Did Shonda do an ounce or research?

Honestly? I'm sitting here smiling. This is like coming home.

Also Derek Shepherd is, and always will be, the love of my life.

MY BABY

The elevator kiss was the moment my seventeen year old self sold my soul to MerDer.

Derek Shepherd has 4 sisters, really girly, tons of kids.

That's canon. Not whatever drug addled fantasy Shonda came up with later.

Friendly reminder that Derek never left the side of a rape victim

When you look at Derek vs Burke...Derek wanted to teach. He was kindhearted to everyone, not just Meredith. Burke was a dick from day one and never changed. And what he did to Cristina was horrendous.

Derek awkwardly flirting with Meredith is the cutest thing I have ever seen. He was trying so hard to be like Mark and failing.

And in the end...it wasn't the chase. He liked her. He wanted to me with her. There was no harassment. Just...true love.

"It was nice talking with you, Dr. Grey." Why is he so precious?

Nurse Fallon was Ellis's scrub nurse for 18 years at Seattle Grace. How? Didn't Dartmouth teach Shonda Rhimes how to do character background?

Time for Alex to legit sexually harass Izzie.

I need someone to explain to me where the chemistry with Burke and Cristina was because like

Meredith and Derek's first date with the dinosaur fountain

Meredith's monologue about adulthood might have been the moment my seventeen year old self connected with Meredith. I'm 32 now, Meredith's age in the pilot, and this early seasons Meredith is still an absolute hero. Loving @EllenPompeo's Meredith was so easy 15 years ago.

Burke's relationship with Cristina came out of NOWHERE and was sooooooo toxic. Jesus Christ on a cracker. Cristina deserves more than the toxic dicks she dated.

I hope everyone who has only ever had iPhones have enjoyed watching the evolution of cell phones over the last 15 years.

"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do make it stop?" Could anyone have delivered that line like @EllenPompeo??? Best line on any TV show ever.

The way Derek watches Meredith drunk dance with her tequila bottle...SOMEONE GIVE ME MY HEART BACK I GAVE IT TO THIS COUPLE

As someone who is drinking tequila right now, I would like to formally disagree with Derek. Tequila is VERY good for you

Ok had to take a break to FT with my aunt. But I am back. Season 1, episode 6....let's gooooooo

Derek offered to be a better guy and end things with Meredith and she couldn't tell him that she wanted him to be the better guy. TRUUUUUUUUUE LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE

"Hot doctor is asking you to open your mouth and say ahhh. It's the American dream." I fucking love early seasons Cristina.

Oh my god I forgot this was the "Blondie" patient. Yessssss

Derek and Bailey in the elevator. Perfect.

Also just realized Patrick had these little gray strands here and there and how blessed were we?

George was always a little clueless but I absolutely love him. He's such a precious bean.

Honestly I hated Alex but MAGIC is pure gold. The show should have ended when Cristina left, tbh.

Ok Bailey was judgey af. Also never forgave her for her bullshit during the ferry boat arc but we'll get there later.

"Tell you what, blondie, if you don't marry him, I will."

Derek in his little magnifying glasses is too adorable. And the way he talks out loud to himself before he starts a tough surgery. I love him.

GUYS Joe the bartender is in the OR during Annie's tumor removal. He's a nurse or maybe an anesthesiologist???

Meredith and Derek going to go watch the ferry boats in the rain. They love each other so much. They are perfection.

NAKED HAIRY THIGH. NAKED HAIRY THIGH. THE BEST MOST INTIMATE SCENE OF THIS SHOW EVER

The little girl Jamie saying "Dr. Shepherd". I die.

Derek with Jamie is soooo cute. Like the cutest thing ever. We should have seen more of Derek being a dad because he is superb with children.

Drunk anesthesiologist called Derek Shep and thus a nickname was born.

Also this couple with the swallowed key...Kids, never get into a relationship with this kind of manipulative fuck.

I LOVE Izzie calling Mer out on falling for Derek. It's such a REAL girl conversation.

And then Meredith and Derek: "We could just..." "Sleep?"

They are adorable.

IT'S MY FAVORITE EPISODE OF SEASON ONE NOW.

They're so cute in this episode. Derek getting ready, eating his muesli...SO DOMESTIC.

And the look she gives him when he didn't get her a bowl. I just...I would eat glass for them.

"I'm not flexible."
"Hahaha, there I disagree."

This is literally the cutest MerDer episode. Try to change my mind.

Derek taking things in faith. Meredith questioning him. These two working together is just perfect. This whole thing is just perfect.

"Some people would call this a relationship."

The best relationship of all time. The stuff of legends.

"This is George. George has a hot date."

GEORGE YOU CUTIE PATOOTIE.

Derek is showing Meredith the trailer.

He owns all this land and has no idea what he's going to do with it.

Meredith just takes his hand.

And officially, they have stolen my heart and I will never be the same.

Ok I need to head to bed as I got four hours of sleep last night but had to stay up to file for unemployment. If you all aren't annoyed and want me to keep this thread going, let me know.
