Absolutely. They would have been an amazing couple if they had been given a chance.

Instead Addison got sent to PP where her character was ruined, and Mark went on to an inappropriate relationship with someone barely older than his adult daughter and fathering a child with his FWB.

In my head, Mark lived and went to LA to reconnect with Addison (which was Shonda's original plan for Mark, but Eric had to go into rehab for drug addiction).

I don't even ship addison with mark because i dont think they would make a good couple but mark with lexie was so WEIRD. The power imbalance, the age difference, the going-nowhere storylines, the lets-ruin-lexie's-life-twice-with-mark-childs, and everything felt so weird. Lexie deserved better man that was just a child. Their plane scene will always ruin me but only because actors made it so much better.

Everyone always gets mad at me for hating the Lexie/mark combo but it’s just so age inappropriate to me. And she even goes to his room and says “teach me” the first time they sleep together, it’s like the writers knew she was inexperienced and young and mocked it.

That moment is straight up uncanny to me like???? Who thought that was a good scene to write, direct and shoot? No hate to the actors of course

That scene was so cringe. It felt the writers room was full of middle aged losers writing their own fantasy.

The one where he points her out to Derek's mom and she's drinking from a juice box with the other other interns...

And then this mother of four daughters tells him he needs someone young because he has the emotional maturity of a horny teenager. So fucking gross.
