Grey’s Anatomy… no more

I finished watching Season 3 last night.
I’d gotten interrupted between the episodes where Meredith fell in the water and the following one which was kind of an odd point to have to leave off at. Between that and the spoilers I already knew about the season ending, I wasn’t as enthralled with the remainder of the season as I would have liked.
It also got a little repetitive and it felt like the characters were in holding patterns and not really going anywhere. Just filling air time.
Also I wasn’t fond of the totally obvious “pseudo pilot” where Addison went to LA and we were given a ‘preview’ of what the new show “Private Practices” would be like. As “introductory” episodes go, it sucked. CSI does it better. Tim Daly was the only really interesting character in the LA group though I’ve always liked Addison so I’ll probably give it a watch when it comes to DVD. I’m also wondering if Eric Dane’s character went over with Kate Walsh’s (Addison) to LA. He’s better suited there anyways.
That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it at all. I did but I’m looking forward to season 4 where it all hopefully gets straightened out and at least I have no further spoilers for.
One thing that continues to amaze me about this show is its ability to make me cry. For all the outrageousness of the plotlines, when it comes down to the depth of emotions and the human experience, they hit the mark like Andre the Giant hitting the doohickey off the Hi Striker at your local carnival.
Sandra Oh’s final scene of the season was so perfect that I can’t wait to see what happens in S4.
About 2 months to go before I can watch Season 4. And I’ve added Private Practice on Netflix too. In a bizarre note, Netflix lists S2 and S3 of PP… um. Only one season exists so far right? GA is going into S5 and PP into S2 in the Fall right?
