Grey’s Anatomy – 6.10 “Holidaze”

There are a couple of minutes left of the day, which should be enough for my Grey’s review. I’m back in the mood I was in after 6.08. Season 6 is just not my season. Or it’s not my show anymore. On a scale from 1 – 10, I’d give this episode a 4. Or maybe just a 3.5. It all somehow just didn’t work for me.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.09 – “New History”

I almost can’t believe it myself, but I actually really enjoyed the latest Grey’s Anatomy episode. I know I wrote a long rant earlier this week and I won’t take anything of it back, because it’s still true. But this episode was quite good actually. Of course there were a few things I didn’t like, but that’s ok.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.08 – “Invest In Love” (Or How To Chase Away Long-Time Fans)

This post is titled review of 6.08, but most of it will not be a review of this episode, but a rant about the writers managed to kill my love for something, that once has been my favourite show and highlight of my TV week. In my life as a TV viewer there always have been shows I absolutely loved. I discovered Grey’s when I wasn’t really attached to any other TV show ;-), so I could easily fall in love with this unique hospital drama. I had seen a few episodes on German TV and then spent the first days of my summer vacation in 2006 with catching up on the complete season 1 & 2 on DVD.
I couldn’t stop watching, because I cared so much about these characters. They were all very well written, the dialogues were awesome, the medical stories were interesting and I just loved to see these five interns dealing with their private and professional lifes. To see them become friends and a family. And of course I was rooting so deeply for Meredith and Derek and wanted to see them together and happy. I mentioned the well written characters: Addison was one of them. She was introduced as the “wicked witch from the east”, but after a while I couldn’t help myself. I liked her and cared about her and I found myself torn a tiny bit. I did want Derek to leave her and get (back) together with Meredith, but I also knew I’d feel really sorry for Addison for being left by her husband.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.07 – “Give Peace A Chance”

I was done with the school assignment earlier than expected. I think it turned out ok, at least I hope it did. I had such a hard time writing it, even decided to willingly fail it once (in May), so now I’m just glad it’s over. Sent off to be graded and hopefully I’ve done ok. I know somebody probably could have done it better, but that somebody isn’t me ;-) The next assignment is already lined up and I should start reading the course work for the third class I signed up for a while ago. (The up- and downsides of flexible distance edcuation *g*). But not tonight.Tonight will be “Me Time” and it starts with writing my Grey’s review. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, but I absolutely, totally, freaking loved that episode. I loved the good stuff so so much, that I could easily overlook the bad stuff. Which I still start this review with… :-)

Grey’s Anatomy 6.06 – “I Saw What I Saw”

This was a unique episode for Grey’s so I’m not sure how to write a review about it. After the disappointing last few episodes I actually didn’t expect to enjoy a new Grey’s episode very much, but I did. Not for the reasons for which I usually enjoy Grey’s, because it didn’t feel much like the Grey’s I know. Sorry to say that. But I liked it for the mere artistic way of telling a story. Yes, I know it’s nothing new and has been done before, but I still find it very entertaining to watch. On whatever TV show or movie and I enjoyed it this time on Grey’s as well.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.05 – “Invasion”

I usually start my review with the few things I didn’t like and than gush about the things I loved and which makes this show so wonderful. This review will be different, because I’ll start with the few things I liked and enjoyed on this week’s episode and then will write in detail ( it took me almost 2 hours, incl. re-watching parts of the episode) about what annoyed me in the episode. Just so I can get it off my chest and move on…

Grey’s Anatomy 6.04 – “Tainted Obligation”

The mood I’m in when I watch an episode might affect my opinion of a new Grey’s episode more than I’ve realized before. Or maybe this last one really was just mediocre. It wasn’t really bad, but it wasn’t really good either. And I was in a crappy mood when I watched it yesterday morning :-) But seriously, I’m getting a bit worried, that the storylines in this season won’t do much for me.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.03 – “I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watchin’ Me”

I don’t remember the last time I had so much fun watching an Grey’s episode. I liked or even loved a lot of the final episodes of season 5 for various reasons. But there hadn’t been a light, funny and cute episode in a while, wasn’t it? So this episode was long due.

Grey’s Anatomy 6.01/6.02 – “Good Mourning”/ “Goodbye”

I have to admit I wasn’t overly impressed when I watched the season premiere this morning. There were a couple of things I loved and a few things that annoyed me. But most of the episode just left me felt … detached. If that’s the right word for it. It got better, meaning it felt more like Grey’s when I watched it the second time this evening. So maybe I just had to get into it again. I still didn’t think it was a great episode, but it wasn’t a bad one either.

Grey’s Anatomy 5.23/5.24 – “Here’s To The Future” / “Now Or Never”

I thought about writing two seperate episode reviews for the two episodes which were the season finale, but than I realized that I would probably repeat myself and that I could save time and words if I wrote about both episodes in one review. I liked the finale. There were a couple of things I didn’t like, so these episodes won’t get a top spot on my list of favourite episodes, but all in all, I felt entertained enough.
