Grey’s Anatomy premier | Television review
5 out of 5 stars
With the unknown fates of Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and George O’Malley (T.R. Knight), the much-anticipated 2-hour season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy on Sept. 24 gave fans all the drama they could handle. Though everyone knew Knight was leaving the show, thanks to the tabloids, the writers of Grey’s gave us more twists and turns in O’Malley’s death than expected. Stevens miraculously survives, but we’ll see how long she lasts on the show.
The show’s star, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) seemed happy and unlike her typical self, thanks to a post-it note marriage to Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), while Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) finally gave in to her love for show newcomer Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd). With the announcement of the Seattle Grace Hospital merger with Mercy West, the rest of the season should be a rollercoaster of layoffs and love triangles.
