Second Run TV: Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy: Season 3, Episode 9 "From A Whisper to a Scream" (B+)

I will be honest: I enjoyed this episode much more than I expected. It is by far superior to all the other "Grey's Anatomy" episodes I have seen this or any season, and I fully support its submission in the Emmy category for Best Drama Series. Some decent music choices and pretty good performances from Sandra Oh (who wisely submitted this episode for Emmy consideration), Patrick Dempsey, and Isaiah Washington help this episode surpass its usual blah quality and enter on to a new level of compelling drama with a healthy amount of everyone sleeping with everyone else mixed in.

Grey's Anatomy: Season 3, Episode 20 "Time After Time" (C)

I was never a fan of this show from the start. It is altogether too sappy and the entangled relationships are too inter-connected and complicated to be believable or sensible (I understand that may not be the point, but still). The main issue is how blatantly unlikeable central character Meredith Grey is. Her surrounding peers do not help matters too much, and I find the only truly liekable character to be Mark. The rest of the ensemble seems needy, self-involved, and obnoxious. This episode is Katherine Heigl's submitted episode for Emmy consideration, which I do not think is wise, but I will comment more on that during my Emmy winner predictions series.
