My Honest opinion on Station 19 2x15 | What do I think about #Vicley + more |Fangirl With Katie

        Hey everyone! So today I decided that I wanted to show my fangirl side. If you don't follow me on social media then you wouldn't know that I'm a super fangirl. I love TV and I watch like 100 shows a year so thats my life. I thought today I would talk about Station 19 which is one of my favorite shows right now. It's actually funny because I wasn't expecting to love this show, but I do. I really do love it. Anyways last nights episode really broke my heart into a million little pieces so I want to talk about it. This will in no means be a recap of the episode, but it will be a fangirl talking about the episode. 

        So let's get into it... 

        If you guys haven't watched the show at all then what are you doing?! If you don't want to see spoilers please do yourself a favor and go catch up. You can watch the show on Hulu.com and also abc.com. So go do that. 

        Ok spoilers in 3...2...1 

        Lucas Ripley is dead! let me repeat that. CHIEF LUCAS RIPLEY IS DEAD! I really have a love hate relationship with Shonda and her writing. I know Shonda didn't technically write Thursday's episode, but I'm sure she comes up with what will happen in the episodes and then someone else writes that. Thursday's episode by the way was written by Tia Napolitano and directed by Nicole Rubio. I have to say style wise the episode was very beautiful. There was so much in the episode from the greys to the station 19 hour there was a lot there. It really flowed well together. If I take my feelings out of it, I can really see how beautiful the episode was. I really love that about the episode. I also really love how there were multiple stories all in the 2 hour episode. It kind of made the show feel like some sort of movie.  

        So now onto how I'm feeling. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I 100% didn't see the death of Ripley happening. I felt blindsided by the episode. I really didn't think it would go this far. It never crossed my mind that a man passing out at a flower shop would end up in a death later on. Also a major side note real quick... I really feel like Seattle Press is haunted or messed up in some sort of way. I feel like the characters that end up going there end up not getting the treatment they deserved. This phrase keep coming into my head "RIPLEY DESERVED BETTER!!". It keeps hitting me over and over. 

        For me I feel like I became very attached to the character Lucas Ripley. I don't know what it was for me, or how I got to this connection or whatever you would call it. I feel like from the beginning I always liked his character. I feel like especially in season 2 we got more from this character. I feel like in season 1 he was more of a boss just barking at people, but in season 2 we got to see the personal side of Lucas. I think the writers really used that to their advantage. I think that they wanted us to fall in love with him so they first had to get us to love him, and then once they got us they had to break our hearts. I guess that's just how it happens. The most painful thing was me was probably in the last 20 minutes when we found out that Lucas was going to die. I was hitting my hand against my head as I found out that news and I immediately started crying. I was balling at the end of the episode at this point. I'm now realizing if I couldn't handle that how am I going to be able to handle the funeral episode. This end of the season is going to be rough and I believe we only have 2 episode's left, maybe 3. 

        Anyways lets talk about what I liked about the episode, what I didn't like, and what I wish they did (or more like what I would do if I was a writer). 

What I liked

        Overall even though the episode did bring a lot of pain I did like the episode. I guess the whole goal of a drama is to make me cry. Like I said before the episode was a well written episode. I just didn't like that Ripley had to die, and I guess in a way Vicley had to die. I believe that Vicley will live on, but it just hurts that we didn't get more of that beautiful couple. My favorite scene at the very end would probably have to be when they all pilled on top of the truck all close together. I love especially how Travis lays right next to Vic. I love their friendship and I can't wait to see him support her. Another one of my favorite scenes would have to be when Andy introduced Vic to the crying closet. This moment really came full circle from when Meredith showed that similar closet to Andy. I loved that. I feel like we also don't get a lot of Andy and Vic so I loved that little movement we got with them. I also loved all the unseen Vicley scenes that were sprinkled into this episode. I loved them and seeing all of that made me happy. I wish we could have gotten more of them, but I'm also glad we at least got a little bit before Ripley died. My final favorite scene would have to be the most painful one. I loved the scene when Vic finally goes in to see Ripley. I love the whole part between when Travis goes with her to comfort her. The whole interaction with Travis and Vic warms my heart with that friendship. This was such a brutal and emotional scene, but I also loved it. The line that really got me was when Vic said "I was really ready to spend the rest of my life with you Lucas Ripley." and Ripley said " At least I get to spend the rest of mine with you." That line hurt, but it was so beautiful. Also it was so sweet how Ripley still wanted to Marry Vic. He would of done anything to get a Chaplin right in that moment. I would love to see that, but I'm also glad they got their little moment together, alone. 

What I didn't like 

        I didn't like obviously Ripley dying and the end of Vicley. That was the major thing for me. This crossover I was going into it thinking nothing bad would happen. I didn't expect any of this like I already said. This was all too painful. I can't even believe that this happened in away. To me this episode feels like a bad dream or more like a nightmare. There isn't a lot I didn't like about the episode. I wish they would of given us more time with Vicley. I feel like in a way this storyline was very messy. I feel like they saw these characters approaching marriage because for them there really was no other option. I feel like as the writers and everyone that is involved saw them come closer to marriage they felt like they had to go to the extreme and kill Ripley to end that. I feel like Vipley is now station 19's #1 couple, so my thought is now what? Why get rid of them? 

What I wish they did?! 

        There is so much that I wish happened instead of all of this. I really hope someone writes a bomb fan fiction to get rid of the pain of Ripley being gone. I wish they would of course most obviously kept Ripley alive. I wish they gave Vicley more time. I feel like maybe if they gave them more time I would of also been more painful. There wasn't much that I didn't like about the crossover. I thought it flowed very well, and in the first hour I felt like we got a good mesh of greys & station 19. I would of loved to see them get married, have kid, and face everything together. There was so much potential that I could really write a blog to just talk about that. Also one last thing. I wish they would of worked on the Sullivan Ripley friendship. They started becoming closer, but I wish we got more from that friendship. I would have loved a lot more.  I just wanted more and there really isn't much more to say. 

        I really wish I could have done all this in video form and I think I still will because the funeral episode is next week. I can't even imagine how much more emotional next week will be. Be sure to subscribe to my vlog channel here. I will probably film that if I do that in a little over a week so please stay tuned. Before I go I'm going to share some Vicley pics because we have to cherish this beautiful couple.
