He’s gone. I’m free. Damnit!

Author’s note: Spoilers after the cut

Call me weird but it was only recently when I realized why only in Summer (June-August) do the most anticipated movies appear on the big screen. This is their time to lure the consumers away from their TV sets since most of TV series have already aired their season finales and will be back by September — or January depending on the network’s decision.

A few weeks after Prison Break, Grey’s Anatomy has closed yet another season and will be back by fall this year. Unlike my rave review on the former’s season finale, season 3 of Grey’s has become a real disappointment.

Maybe it’s because of the spectacular season that preceded it. As of this writing, season 2 has been the best season for Grey’s. Each episode was never a dull moment and all story arcs have been presented magnificently using the Grey’s formula everyone grew to love. I’m not the only one who expected this season to be at par if not surpassed its predecessor. Just look at the show’s official blog. It speaks for itself.

Although, you have to admit, Sandra Oh was simply amazing in the season finale. I believe she made herself the star of the show shadowing the rest of the cast with her talent. Her last scene with Ellen Pompeo was just heartbreaking. I have been repeating the scene over and over that I lost count.

Hopefully, the writers know what they’re doing with season four. They just left everyone so bitter and depressed that it seems like another teen emo drama series. Then again, with all the rumors of cast members leaving the show would prove to be a problem to really think through. Kate Walsh’s departure is the only definite news while Washington, Knight and Ramirez are still up for … eavesdropping perhaps?

In any case, it would take weeks and a few more episodes if the series has redeemed itself or jumped the shark.
