In 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

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Last week, the season premiere of "C.S.I." trumped the premiere of "Grey's Anatomy"'s fourth season by a significant margin. That's because "Grey's Anatomy," a series which once shined so vibrantly, has been reduced to a dull glimmer. Throughout the series' first two seasons, it seemed incredible that a show could maintain such a level of greatness and be so addictive without going off the tracks every once in a while.
But come Season Three, the show did crash. Big time.
Truth be told, Season Three wasn't as bad as some will lead you to believe. The first half of the season was uniformly great. It wasn't until the midpoint, during an arc involving a ferry boat crash, that, ironically, the show crashed as well. In a painfully obvious attempt to garner higher ratings, the writers decided to have Meredith "die." Creator Shonda Rhimes is a big fan of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; one can only surmise that Ms. Rhimes thought she could handle character deaths as gracefully as Whedon. (She couldn't, but in her defense, not many can.) Instead, Meredith's near-death experience - complete with visions of the afterlife, highlighted by the reappearance of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the irresistible Denny Duquette - seems entirely unnecessary. The actors' straight-faced performances during that storyline just makes the whole thing more hilarious. Re-watching the episodes, it's apparent that the writers realized their mistakes after having made them, but were left with no choice but to make the best of them. One would expect them to deal with whatever problems they've created and then keep moving on. Instead, they took one enormous mis-step after another. The biggest of these, perhaps even surpassing the idea to "kill" Meredith, was the decision to make Izzie (Katherine Heigl) sleep with George (T.R. Knight). The result was the most unbearably grotesque "romance" of the year, an inconceivable concept made all the more nonsensical by the fact that, only a few episodes before, George had suddenly married Callie (Sara Ramirez).
On top of the seemingly ceaseless crimes being committed by the writers, the second part of the season was overshadowed by the infamous conflict between leads Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey, in which Washington heatedly called T.R. Knight a homosexual slur. The incident was blown way out of proportion by a bloodthirsty media, bringing Washington's slur to the forefront and trying to bury his repeated subsequent apologies, which they did quite well. Unfortunately, Rhimes decided that this was worth dismissing Washington from the series, and so, in the uncharacteristically disappointing season finale, Burke just ups and leaves, during the middle of his wedding to Christina (Sandra Oh). It was a terrible, terrible, incredibly foolish waste of one of the series' most interesting characters and most charismatic actors, and a perfectly wretched finish (hopefully) to a number of wretched mistakes.
The season wasn't all bad, though. The pre-ferry half was actually excellent. The writers came up with typically fascinating developments and very amusing scenarios. One could sense, however, that they were feeling the pressure of being the most-watched show on television after two phenomenal seasons. There was noticeably more drama and less comedy. Before deciding to pseudo-kill Meredith, the writers concocted a number of interesting twists, the majority revolving around Mark Sloan (the inimitable Eric Dane), who joined the regular cast at the start of the season. That was an obvious and very smart move on the producers' part, because Dane added just the extra spark the season needed. Sloan's presence resulted in some major (and delicious) character development for Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). Karev had previously been the show's "bad boy," but with Dane filling his shoes (and needing an even bigger pair), Karev gradually evolved into not just a decent guy, but a caring, honorable, and very likable one, though he held on to enough of his hard edge to remain Alex Karev. Karev was also given two of the season's most interesting storylines: a brief and lighthearted romance with Addison (Kate Walsh), as well as the "Jane Doe" storyline, in which Karev discovers a pregnant woman deformed and amnesiac from the ferry crash.
At the season's end, one is left exasperated, exhausted, frustrated, and bewildered, but not entirely unsatisfied. As a whole, the season is evenly great and bad, but even when it's bad, "Grey's Anatomy" is better than most series. The writers made a lot of mistakes toward the end of the season, and they'll have a hard time clearing them up during Season Four. It's uncertain whether the series will ever be as stunning as it was during Seasons One and Two, but if one can look past the misguided writing in Season Three, it's clear that the show still has what it needs to be great. Here's hoping the good doctors at Seattle Grace can put the show back together again.
1. the private practice part...yes, i understand it's a part of the introduction spinoff but it was SOOOO badly placed. too much development in a plot. in the end, addison doesn't even say she's actually going to leave to LA. we're just randomly told that she leaves, no goodbye to the audience and cast. i LOVE addison so it felt very incomplete without a goodbye.
2. the completely out of place episode of meredith in the afterlife. it was nice to see the past memorable characters but c'mon, WAY out of place. this is a doctor's show, not some weird third dimensional thing - very unrealistic. and i HATED how meredith and her mother did not have closure. t.v. is supposed to get u away from real life drama. to see that everything will worked out properly gives us hope that in our own "dark and twisty" lives it will also. though i am glad to see ellis grey go, she was too annoying of a character, even if she added depth to the plot.
3. uh, hello, didn't izzy's "beloved" fiance, the guy that leaves her 8.7 MILLION DOLLARS, JUST die a few months before she sleeps with married george? this twist really made me hate izzy and how she treats callie. she constantly declares her love for george - annoying.
4. to add to the out of place plot even more, george and callie get married. WHY WHY WHY?????? would they do that? doesn't make any damn sense! at least burke and christina getting married makes sense. they were together for a couple years. but for burke to push christina to marry him and randomly leave is disgusting. it did make me feel for christina but we all know the only reason he was rushed off like that is because of that comment he made about homosexuals. burke's character will be truly missed.
5. meredith and mcdreamy need to just stay together. it's getting old, the bouncing back and forth thing.
6. everyone needs to stop sleeping with each other so much. didn't they all just get syphilis in the last season???
the good (there are some):
1. loved the slap from meredith's father. my mouth dropped at that point!
2. the show is still 100% addictive (except the private practice part - i started to stare more at the ceiling than the screen). i def. tuned into season 4 on thurs.
3. it still has heart and comedy (albeit, not as much laughing as 1 & 2). like i said, burke leaving christina made me wanna cry for her. glad the cheif isn't leaving.
4. the actors are still wonderful, convincing AND gorgeous (eye candy!)
season 4: i can't stand meredith's sister. why would u pick the moment that people are dying to announce that you are her sister? her character seems stupid as all hell. let's see how that works out. but it does seem it has turned back into quirky and hilarious-ness. loved when izzy asks bailey about a deer's anatomy and bailey responds with "not my interns anymore, not my business" and rushes off. hope season 4 is going to be great!

Questo cofanetto contiene 7 dvd e diversi contenuti speciali.
L'audio è perfetto, vi è la possibilità di scegliere la lingua originale e i sottotitoli in italiano o viceversa.
L'unico neo di questo, e dei precedenti dvd , è quello che i dischetti sono davvero troppo anonimi, grigi e spenti.
Avrebbero potuto mettere un personaggio per dvd, renderli più allegri, più da collezione, ma tutto sommato questo piccolo particolare non rende di certo meno interessante i contenuti, che naturalmente sono la cosa più importante.
Da collezionare senza alcun dubbio!

As always, the episode story lines never fail to entertain and have the viewer on the edge of their seat, and it is a true tear-jerker in some places. The soundtrack is fabulous, with many choices coming from obtuse bands that no one's heard of (with a few exceptions).
Having ordered this at the same time as season two about a month ago, it was terrible having to sit through season two after reading the generic spoiler-free episode descriptions on the disc cases. I don't recommend doing this, as you'll then rush through the rest of the season two and possibly miss things as I did, resulting in having to go back and watch it again.
I would recommend this to EVERYONE, but only if you have the stomach for gore as, although it's mainly kept to a minimum, it is the worst season (that I've seen) so far on this level.
