I just finished watching 3rd Season Finale of Grey's Anatomy . I have watched this show for an year. I started by watching a downloaded version of the first season and then I did not have the patience to watch the second season so I just picked up the main parts thanks to the amazing and vast material found on YouTube. Although I skipped the second season I did not feel I lost a lot of information. This already tells a lot about the kind of show it is.I don't know yet what to think about the episode that ended the first magical number of series. There are pros and cons, as there is to everything in life. So, I'll try to lay them down and see if I get to a conclusion by the end of the post.
First of all, there are so many questions unanswered by the end of the episode. Did Meredith actually end her relationship with Derek when she said "It's all over"? Did she refer to Derek as well when she said that? Why was Callie chosen Chief of Surgery? What will happen now with her dream of having a baby? How would this affect her marriage with George? How will George react to this news? Did George actually fail on purpose? What will happen with the unsolved love between George and Izzie? Did Preston leave the show for good? Or will he return "at a good moment"? What was Richard's reason for not choosing Miranda as Chief of Surgery? What will be the reasons for Addison and Mark to stay at Seattle Grace and not follow Preston's example?
I like drama, so I must like leaving with these questions. The unanswered questions make the viewers' waiting worth while.
But, where did they lose the witty commentaries at the end. I loved them and it made the show to have a purpose. I expected at the end of the third season to see a intelligent observation that was better than all the previous ones. I also found the pace of the events to be slow compared to other episodes. Drama cannot be hurried, but when it's painstakingly long it does not help at all, although drama is supposed to be "painful".
In the end, I think that the quality of the show started to decrease and I am expecting greater effort from the producers next year to please my expectations.
The image I have posted at the beginning is more intriguing than the whole last episode of the third season. Can it be because I have watched Grey's for too long?

I actually think the writers are true masters of emotion and I enjoyed the last episode, even if it didn't finish with the bang that you expected. I also can sense that the storyline had to be stretched so that the show can continue. Come to think of it, I am a little bit disappointed of the whole Preston-Christina ending, as I thought Burke figured Christina out. I don't understand why he only saw the real her now. Maybe because love is blinding. But I still think they could have been happy together. Btw, even without watching the end you could know that there will be no wedding, because of the scene where Preston recites his wedding vows in the operating room.
I didn't think of the reason for which Preston recited the vows in the OR. But it's true. If you think about it you can anticipate that he's not going to recite them again.
