The night is here. The one a lot of us have been wondering about and waiting for since last spring. Who is not going to make it through alive after the heart wrenching season finale of Grey's Anatomy? Most fans of the show that I know were gathered together watching the finale last year. I thought it was one of their greatest episodes to date. Actually I think it was one of my favorite season finales of all times. I am sure we actually screamed when we figured out that it was George who was in that bed dying. Through the tears of disbelief and shock, no one could believe our eyes and ears.
"007"...as he wrote on the palm of Meredith...I still get shivers up my spine to think of how it all played out. Now I know that some people do not get to know the characters or will say that "it is only a show". I am the opposite. I feel like some of the characters on these television shows are so real that they convince me that their lives and personalities are real. Plus the simple fact is that I am sometimes overly empathetic and a complete sap.
So the Kleenex is ready, the wine is room temperature and I gather with a group for friends to watch the season opener of Grey's Anatomy. Soon the face book & twitter updates will begin lighting up with reviews and hopefully excitement.
Hopefully there will be less tears than in the season finale, but it will still be as riveting and shocking. I think the finale will be a hard one to top. If you have spoilers I don't want to see or hear them, don't send them to me or make comments with them. I want to watch the show as it happens! But I would love to hear if you watched with friends and what you thought of it.
Share with me how you felt about the season premier & how you watched with friends, and have a chance to win! All you have to do is post a comment on this story on my blog. I will do a random draw for $25 Gift Certificate! Closing is at midnight Friday night the 25th!
**Update: Winner has been randomly chosen - Congratulations goes to Lori MacFarlane of Nova Scotia! Enjoy your gift certificate Lori and thanks so much for following the blog!
Did you say it? I love you. I don't want to live without you. You changed my life. Did you say it? Make a plan, set a goal, work toward it. But every now and then look around. Drink it in.
Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

If anyone wants to know how it feels to be given new hope...to be given life again...conflicted, aimless, and deep. What do you do on borrowed time...you live.
Just watch Izzy...I am Izzy...ten years post treatment...
It was deep without being contrived, it was poignant without being over the top...
Love the writing...love the intensity...they keep it real.
(09.25.09)I know...from experience.
I hope you enjolyed it as much as I...
Live, love, laugh!
I thought the season premiere started strong...kinda fizzled but who cares? it was 2 hrs of new entertainment. i still can't believe there will be no george! izzie is as hot as ever....and meredith looked great but i always get emotional when she cries! hopefully they will disinfect the kitchen counter!!
(09.25.09)I watched the season opener, It was pretty good. There was a lot of emotion that the characters play very well. There really weren't any surprises though. It was your typical Greys show. Which of course I love! I do hope they concentrate more on Izzy and her relationship, because I am over the whole Meredith and Derek thing. Overall thoughts: It was a good season opener, hopefully bigger and better to come!
(09.25.09)I started watching with my little family of four. It started ok but then got stupid around half way through so I went to bed.
(09.25.09)oh, and btw, yes, i've said it. i always try to "say it".
(09.25.09)I thought that Grey's was good, but I am gonna miss George. I guess I didn't realize how much I liked that character until it was too late. I like that Meredith and Derek are acting like newlyweds because it makes them actually seem a bit like a normal couple which they haven't don't anything normal so that is nice for a change.
(09.25.09)I adore Callie...do you think her and McSteamy will continue to hook up now that Little Grey is living with him?? Please say YES!!
(09.25.09)I thought the show was a bit of a let down compared to the finale. Then again, what could top that finale?
(09.25.09)I love your blog but not Grey's anatomy. After reading this I downloaded last season and am going to watch. Will get back to you!
(09.25.09)How can you make a box of tissue look this great? And did you cry and use the whole box last night? I thought the season opener was ok but lacked something.
(09.25.09)What was with all the laughing at the funeral, that was dumb. I liked the rest of the show though.
(09.25.09)I hope to see Karev (sp) fall deeply in love with Izzy and show her that he is.
(09.25.09)MacSteamy, MacDreamy...they are all hot...oh wait we were reviewing the show not the actors. Show was ok, I LOVED the finale.
(09.25.09)Love your photography, but Grey's Anatomy isn't my thing. My wife loves it though, and she seemed happy last night.
(09.25.09)So glad Izzy lives. I love her character.
(09.25.09)I was so excited to watch last night, I thought the laughing was a bit weird too but it kinda shows how they all hold in their feeling so much that the wrong ones come out at times. I bawled when Izzy told the girl who George saved to go live.
(09.25.09)Callie is so great in that show and I hope that she stays with Arizona forever. They are so perfect together. I could see how Little Grey would be worried though.
(09.25.09)I love this show. Had a girls night last night to celebrate its return. It is much more fun watching it with others.
(09.25.09)Best show...it is the only one I watch.
(09.25.09)I missed McDreamy...glad he is back!
