The Drama that defines Great Television.

Currently Listening to: All Love - Ingrid Michaelson



This has got to be the most intense season finale ever. It's been a few hours since i watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy Season 5 and i'm still experiencing mixed emotions of awe and shock. Dwelling into the episode any further would cause me to start bawling again. And.. talking about cliffhangers, i bet you've never experienced one like this.

This season (season 5) has been a a ride of a lifetime, it's undeniably my favourite season to date and i'm sure many others think so too, considering it's the no. 1 most viewed drama in the US, falling just behind American Idol.

Here's why i absolutely loved this season. I loved how in this season, Der and Mer were uber sweet, all these sweetness however, was preceded by a dream, a nightmare that revolves around losing a loved one. It was my idea of a good introduction to the season, and to indicate that fear always exists in happy endings. I personally felt there were three climaxes this season, and i love all of them. The death-roll prisoner story-line was intriguing, and it leads on to the crashing of one of the most brilliant surgeons on the show. This is linked with the season's biggest storyline, where a beloved member of the cast was taken ill. I was bawling like a cow for the weeks leading to the season finale and the season finale blew me away. One other fantastic part of this season would be the cross-over which went on for a couple of weeks. Maybe it's just me but i feel the script for this season was awesome, Shonda totally rocked it.

Alright, back to the finale. It was intense on all levels and for all characters. It was rosy for some of the cast - Mer and Der were really sweet which Lex and Mark were adorable. Chris and Owen finally worked things out. However, it was so intense for the others. Alex and Izz's storyline was heartbreaking, especially the part where he stood there helpless as she died.I hate it when Bailey cries, it really gets to me. The George storyline was ... unexpected and it tore me apart. The final scene where Izzie met George, it was really really good. Alex (Justin Chambers) deserves an Emmy and so does the entire Season.

Now, it's time to heal and await Season 6.
