Grey’s Anatomy: Season 8

I’m a very, very picky TV viewer. I really am. And I find it difficult to bond with characters, or even come back to a show again and again, and with enthusiasm, but not with Grey’s Anatomy.
Every season is excellent. You’ll find the most well rounded, lovable, and interesting characters on television. And you’ll laugh out-loud as much as you’ll cry. This series has been made so superbly, and it’s one of the only shows that my husband and I both agree on, and that we both look forward to. There’s not a person alive who cannot identify with at least one of these characters, and I love that the writers aren’t afraid to encroach on an interesting array of subject matter.

One of TV’s finest and most entertaining.

Greys anatomy and have every season. i watched the entire 9th season (so far) online last night and cant wait for the dvd set to come out! I always reserve my copy. It’s so odd how they become your friends (and enemies!). I missed the entire season to the 19 th episode which i watched until 4:30 this morning. I missed my friends so much! I was exhausted but so excited my friends were back, I got to work EARLY!! (i know i know, makes no sense and im a wack job!)

La mia serie preferita in assoluto, questo cofanetto contiene 6 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!

Great Series! Really Enjoyed watching it. The DVD I received seemed to be faulty as half the discs only worked on my laptop not DVD player and vice versa. However I am still giving 5 stars for the quality of the TV show and for the response from Mercury1938 seller who was very professional and offered a full refund despite the order being completed over a year ago. (I didn’t get round to watching it all until earlier this year as I watched it on TV when it aired)

The season starts off with a [figurative] bang in which Meredith is fired and Alex ostracized for his part in this. The residents are fighting each other and nobody is listening to their new Chief Resident (Kepner) however after numerous arguments (the most memorable of which results in Alex being stabbed with a needle of adrenaline!) they all begin to trust each other and work well together.

Richard makes the decision to take the blame for Meredith’s actions in Season 7 and steps down as Chief, recommending Owen Hunt to take his place. This is all to the anger of Derek and despite Meredith getting her job back, the fact that her being fired apparently destroyed their chances of adopting Zola, Derek appears unsure as to whether he wants to stay with Meredith. Even at one point saying that he is only staying because of the Post-it.

After a momentous two part episode in which Meredith and Alex work through some of their issues during a storm that leaves them stranded in an ambulance and crashed into by a car. Meredith and Derek have resolved their issues and finally get to officially adopt Zola!

All of the Residents apart from Lexie are now in their 5th year and are therefore deciding upon their surgical specialties.

Yang of course picks Cardio under Teddy, who despite teaching Yang in a way that baffles both her and Owen, eventually starts rounding up the most cutting edge Cardio surgeries for Yang to perform.

After some deliberation Meredith chooses General Surgery due to her strong relationship with both Bailey and Richard.

Karev obviously chooses Paediatrics under Robbins, who despite interviewing high calibre candidates all but tells Alex that she is not getting him interviews for anywhere good because he is her best candidate and she wants to keep him. He does however eventually accept a job at Johns Hopkins.

Avery chooses Plastics under Sloan and April chooses Trauma (yeah that confused me too!)

Much of the middle of the series is devoted to building up suspense for the Surgical Boards and the episodes focusing on them seem to zig-zag between hilarity (April and Jackson getting in a bar fight/Yang managing to find fluids and an IV in a hotel) and making you want to pull your hair out (Alex ditching out/Kepner sobbing every 7 seconds) This was one of my favorite part of the series as the show has essentially been building up to this for 8 years and I really enjoyed them.

The revelation that one of the SGMWH Residents has failed their boards (I’ll give you a hint, it begins with “K” and rhymes with “Zepner”)shock Richard and eventually cause Kepner to lose her place in the program as Hunt can’t keep her on staff.

The finale was as typically shocking as we have come to expect from Shonda Rhymes and after the somewhat low-key events of the Season 7 finale I was wondering how this one would pan out.

The plane crash was a shocking end to the series especially when it is watched for a second time and you realise that Robbins took Karev’s place on the plane due her anger at him for leaving.

In conclusion this was another great series of Grey’s Anatomy, there was never a point in the series for me that the storylines got boring (except maybe for the over-protracted plot of the pregnant intern) and the necessarily speedy conclusion of the Meredith/Clinical Trial plot from last season worked well for me (let’s face it she’s the main character, she can’t REALLY be fired!) the middle of the series keeps the plot at a fast pace with several more multi-episode arcs and the last 6 episodes or so are really enjoyable to watch after staying with the series for so long.

In short, great series, one of the best yet. Nothing in my opinion tops Season 5 for first time watching value but this one is a close second in my opinion!

I did not get hooked watching this series for several years. Even though I can often catch reruns, it is fun to have the set to watch whenever I want. While I don’t see much authentic about a hospital, it is fun to watch. There is no hospital surgical room that would have all of the doctors operating on one patient at a time. And, there is no hospital that would have all the doctors standing out in the emergency entrance waiting for patients routinely. But, it is still an entertaining series.
