Movie Reviews of Grey's Anatomy - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Season 3: Review & Season 4 predictions
Summary: 5 Stars
I too am a fan of Grey's Anatomy and felt that season 3 was well done in some ways while it lacked in others. I will definitely be buying the DVD set as soon as it is out. Yes, it is an emotional show at times but I think that adds depth-- and all of the instances in the show are parallels to true life (the medical cases)! That's the best part. As for my own thoughts (read at your own discretion)...
For one, I think the producers have done an interesting (and admirable) job of character development. Most notably with Alex. I was just watching Season 1 yesterday and he has done a real 180-- he seems to have developed (relatively) a sense of poise, self-respect, and direction. I was disappointed that he and Addison didn't work out-- but then again, she wasn't really in a position for a relationship. I'm still waiting for Alex to have a meaningful relationship with someone so we find out more about his troubled past! Comon! And then Alex's heart needs to be broken so that he is forced to depend on someone for support so we can see him as an even better person.
I do not agree with the love triangle of George-Callie-Izzie. Yes because of the fidelity thing but more than that, the whole Callie and George wedding was totally out of nowhere. NEITHER character as the producers have developed them would have wed under the conditions. And I don't think they were suddenly breaking out of their shells to be spontaneous and change their lives in a previously unknown direction-- Callie post-wedding is still herself and George is a wimping puppy worse than ever. This whole story line is a weird mess. George has lost his halo, and Izzie remains confused and STILL with her heart on her sleeve. And then there is Callie... ?? Here's what needs to happen: Callie-George marriage needs to be over. The relationship is doomed with the Izzie-George-cheating plot. George needs to NOT leave Seattle Grace, instead he should re-do his intern year where perhaps a romance will develop between him and Meredith's half-sister. Izzie can do better than George-- let's hope she does in Season 4.
The whole Cristina/Burke wedding came out of nowhere-- but that kind of follows their relationship-- ie. Season 2: suddenly out of nowhere Burke and Cristina are moving in together? Hello? Did I miss something? They have only known one another a few months! Realistic? No. (Yea I know it's just a TV show)... more importantly: realistic to Cristina/Burke characters? Not in my opinion. ALSO, Burke needs to be re-hired to continue with the show. Although I don't agree with what went on with Mr. Washington-- he truly is an integral character to the show. He was one of my favorite characters-- but I know I'm not the producers. Predictions: Hopefully Burke will return. Cristina needs to gain some rank as a resident... skip the relationship stuff (but add in a little here and there because her awkwardness is seriously entertaining)-- she would be awesome if developed as Bailey's protege, in my opinion. Driven, intelligent-- but she's lacking Bailey's family/bedside manner side. We know her soft side is there-- remember Season 2 when she goes to Idaho with Bailey and can't stop staring at her pregnant tummy? Yup that spark is there!
The center of it all-- Meredith and Derek I think are... continually in turmoil. They are both heart broken... but again, I think this plot will continue the way it has from the beginning. One pinches the other and then the other pinches the other back like two children... blah blah. Derek should give up the whole "I'm disappointed in you because you wanted to drown and therefore we aren't meant to be together" thing and either be a man and be supportive OR make a clean break and move on (We know that won't happen). Something interesting needs to happen between the two that is interesting and puts some sort of solidity in either one of their lives. They did have the dog, but that was short lived. Prediction for Season 4: Derek is going to be going out to the bars and meeting more women (as he told Meredith during Season 3)-- either going to start a relationship WHILE he is still with Meredith OR ... well who knows.
Addison? Wrong character it pick to start a new series... To the credit of the producers, the idea works. But it is blatantly for more viewers, siphoning off Grey's audience. Tsk, tsk. Predictions: It will do well initially but fall off quickly-- I didn't think it was that interesting when it was incorporated into Grey's. I found myself wanting the plot to get back to Seattle Grace instead of on Addison's escape-joy-ride-vacation-turn-job elsewhere.
Nonetheless, it can't always turn out the way you want it, that's what makes the show (and life) entertaining-- can't wait for Season 4!
Summary of Grey's Anatomy - The Complete Third Season
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 12/26/2008In the third season of Grey's Anatomy, one medical intern will get married to a superior while another is left standing at the altar. Two interns will lose their parents. And one main character will try to commit suicide--or not fight very hard to save her own life. There will be multiple hook-ups, infidelity, and trust issues. In between the soap opera-style drama that attracts millions of viewers each week, interns Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) will also perform some medical miracles. At the end of season 2, Izzie was distraught over the death of her fiancé, Denny. Now she finds that her very rich boyfriend has left her millions of dollars. Instead of putting the money into the bank and allowing it to accrue interest until she decides what she wants to do with it--as sensible Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) suggests--Izzie mopes around the house in an irritating stupor. Actually, irritating is an apt description for several of the main characters. It takes a leap of faith to believe that sexy, spectacular, and rich orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) would be even vaguely interested in wishy-washy George. Previously, he'd convinced himself that he was in love with Meredith. Now he's pining for his other roommate, Izzie, even though he's already got Callie. And rather than welcoming her into their fold, Izzie and Meredith (and to a lesser extent Cristina) give Callie the mean-girls treatment. They may have rebuffed him at one point, but they don't want Callie to have him, either. There is something very needy about this group of interns who have no one to turn to but each other when a crisis occurs.
Viewers get some insight into "dark and twisty" Meredith's upbringing, as she spends more time with her cold and demanding mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, and her milquetoast father, who didn't fight very hard to have contact with her as a child after her mom kicked him out of their house. It's no wonder Meredith ended up emotionally damaged and unwilling to completely open up to Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) ... a.k.a. McDreamy. Though the show's title implies that Meredith is the most important character, it's not true. The ensemble cast, which also includes James Pickens Jr. as Dr. Richard Webber (who had a long and complicated affair with Meredith's mother) and Kate Walsh as Derek's ex-wife Addison, is fantastic. And it's difficult to outshine Oh, who has some of this season's funniest and emotional moments as she navigates a relationship with Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), who is far more romantic and traditional than she is. Though not as compelling as the show's debut season, this third year still packs a strong emotional punch. --Jae-Ha Kim
