I thought it was overly dramatized, way too long, and the performances were terribly contrived. That being said, I did enjoy the overall theme of dealing with the different stages of grief and the way in which they manifest themselves in certain people. However, this episode did not need to be 2 hours long. Nor did we need narration from each character in order to comprehend that each character was displaying a different stage in the grief process. I mean, come on, how stupid do they think we are? I also really disliked the whole "would George want to donate his organs?" plot line. The guy just threw himself in front of a bus to save a stranger's life and he's a doctor and he just volunteered to risk his life in the army as a trauma surgeon. I think the answer to that question is fairly obvious and the fact that we even needed to ask it in this episode is completely inane.<br /><br />A couple of high points though: Ellen Pompeo's performance was understated and in a very good way. I thought she gave the best performance and her final scene was very moving. Also, I continue to think that Katherine Heigl is a wonderful actress and her preformance (given the material she had to work with) was pretty good. <br /><br />Like Gavin, I'm attached to Grey's Anatomy because of what it used to be. I keep hoping it's gonna get back to its roots, but the writing has gone downhill since the third season or so. Here's hoping they get new writers! SOON! Because what a waste of talented actors if they continue to head down this soap opera route.alaina9yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139257265604276911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307435717363535019.post-48985834928334733252009-09-26T18:06:40.698-07:002009-09-26T18:06:40.698-07:00Overall I think this episode was ok. It was overly...Overall I think this episode was ok. It was overly emotional, as i expected it would be. But it wasn't bad. <br />Sidenote: I was watching this episode with my mom and when the scenes for the season were up she turned to me and said "They are making this show a soap opera" and i turned to her and said "Making!?!". I think this show is going way down hill if my mom says something like that. But we shall see.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530872231979830203noreply@blogger.com
