Season Three is much darker and more serious than the first two were. This season, we have at least one well-known character experiencing, but I'm not telling how many characters total, the following: pregnancy, loss of family member, marriage, divorce, adultery, inheriting 8.7 million dollars, old loves show up, and even a suicide attempt. The one thing I will tell you for sure is that at least one major character is leaving the show at the end of Season Three. There's already going to be a spin-off, called Private Practice, starring Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh).
There is still the humor that we've gotten used to in Grey's, though. One of my personal favorite times is when Meredith decides that she's not going to choose between Derek and Finn (Chris O'Donnell) right away. She meets with them together and tells them that "There's this thing for the considering of options, in the olden days they called it dating." Now being that they're men, of course they're going to turn it into a contest, which makes for many funny moments and a very frustrated Meredith.
Additional features on the DVD include Extended Episodes, Making Rounds with Patrick Dempsey, Shades of Grey, Prescription for Success, Dissecting Grey's Anatomy, Good Medicine, and In Stitches. All of these are really very good to watch. I assumed that Making Rounds would have something to do with him playing a doctor. It turns out that Patrick Dempsey is not just an actor, but also a racecar driver. Shades of Grey is an interview with Ellen Pompeo about playing the character of Meredith Grey. Prescription For Success is really cool, as it shows the makeup and prosthetics they used to create the character of Jane Doe (Elizabeth Reaser). Dissecting Grey's Anatomy is a collection of ten unaired scenes, about 20 minutes or so total. Good Medicine is a collection of "favorite scenes," and In Stitches is a bunch of very humorous outtakes.
Throughout the last three seasons, Grey's Anatomy has become seriously popular. Even though Season Three hasn't necessarily been my favorite season, like a lot of people, I'd like something good to happen, since it seems like everybody's lives took a turn for the worse in Season Three. I can promise you that I, and many of my friends, will be on the couch watching the season premiere of Grey's on September 27th and the premiere of Private Practice on September 26th. I highly recommend you go and get all of the Grey's Anatomy seasons.
