Grey's Anatomy: Season 3

Own all seasons on dvd. Great show.

Okay, so I, like many other people, believe that Grey's Anatomy Season 3 had some problems, or rather...strange plot twists. For example, George's sudden Vegas marriage, the Gizzie-gate, and the Ferry arc.After rewatching almost all of this season (I've watched up to "The Other Side Of This Life" I realized that taken once a week with brief hiatuses between four and five episode blocks just doesn't work. It's erratic and everything seems to move a lot slower, not to mention a lot seems out of nowhere. Yet, watching these episodes one after another reawakened my original love at its basest form for Season 3.In my eyes, Season 3 has 3 arcs: One that goes from "Time Has Come Today" to "Six Days". This deals with Meredith/Derek/Finn and then Meredith/Derek/Mark and Addison/Mark and Callie/George and Izzie dealing with the loss of Denny. The second arc seems to be "Great Expectations" up to "Some Kind of Miracle" which, as many know, is the last episode of the ferry arc. A lot of people saw this as the beginning of a whole separate arc but story-wise this just concludes a hell of a lot that had been boiling (including Meredith's mother). The third arc, consisting of "Scars and Souvenirs" up to "Didn't We Almost Have It All?" starts off drastically different. It has a different feel then almost everything we've seen all season. It mentions what happened with the ferry and the water but other then that we move on. That is, onto a whole new storyline dealing with infidelity and relationship doubts all around as well as Jane Doe.I appreciated this season so much more without commercials and mostly without interruptions. I, somehow, even saw George and Izzie coming (even from back in the Season 2 episode, "The Name of the Game") but that means that Shonda didn't completely pull the rug out from under us. And on this rewatch I find myself pulling for George and Izzie...weird, right?Seeing it all in one block is like putting a jig-saw puzzle together, quickly, instead of taking the time to find the missing pieces all over your house, to use that metaphor. And yes, Grey's Anatomy has a much more clear direction, style, just...everything.So, on the television, Grey's Anatomy Season 3 was very static and bi-polar at times. On DVD it's level-headed and checking out of that psych ward.5 stars, seriously.

I have seriously become addicted to Grey's Anatomy. I had Season 3 for only 4 days and managed to watch the whole thing during the work week, which took some planning.Season 3 picks up where it left off with Izzy still in shock over loosing Denny and her friends rallying around her in support. Each episode had at least one moment where I was either laughing, crying or nodding in agreement.**** Spoiler Alert****Meredith has a lot of happy and sad moments in this season. Her mom dies, she almost dies, her relationship with Derek gets better and then worse after her near death experience. We see a cute love triangle between her, Derek and Finn(the vet) played by Chris O'Donnell.Izzy, George and Callie have there own little love triangle. I found it hard to believe that Izzy would be in love with George that quickly after loosing Denny, unless her feelings for him were unrealized. The chemistry between Izzy and George is very good and I found the scenes between them after they remembered that they'd been together very well acted out. But, I don't like Izzy and George as a couple. I actually like Callie and her quirky-ness. I get her sense of humor and it's fun to see how into George she is.Lastly Christina and Burke's wedding drama ending with him leaving her at the altar was awful. I was crying with them in the season finale where emotionless Christina is being cut out of her dress by Meredith and the show ends with her sobbing.The cliffhangers were amazing...George didn't pass his intern exam, Ava left the hospital with her husband and baby making Alex wonder if he made a mistake. And Bailey didn't get chief resident, Callie did.Can't wait for Season 4 to arrive!!!I'm totally hooked! 5 stars!!!!

I only saw a few episodes of season 3 but I'm sure it is just as good as the first two from what I did see. However if you are going to preorder it from Amazon, do it SEPARATELY from other things. Otherwise you are going to get stuck with all kinds of extra shipping fees rather than the "Free Super Savings". Either that or they will make you wait until September 11th to ship out everything else you ordered. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me when you are preordering something and everything else you bought is "In-stock" ready to ship. I guess if everything else you buy is over $25 also (which it was in my case) you could make two separate orders and get things on time for free. You just shouldn't have to go through such a hassle to give Amazon your business. I had to pay an extra $15 to change my shipping status so I could get my stuff when they said I was going to get it in the first place and now its still going to be coming at least a week after it was supposed to be here. They need to update the way they operate some things or they are going to be losing customers faster than they get new ones. This is definitely not the first time something this stupid has happened with Amazon. Anyways, buy season three, maybe not from here and enjoy!
