My Favorite Grey's Anatomy Episode

You may not know this but Shonda Rhimes was named one of the top 100 people who helped shape the world back in 2007. Grey’s Anatomy is by far the most artistic and eye-catching TV show I ever sat down to, I never really grasped how those people wrote those lines, I mean can someone be more intellectual already?

Every episode there’s something new, an acting that is unprecedented (in the show itself), a quote that is authentic, new faces who just identify with the screen and with you instantly, original situations and incidents, refreshing feelings, romantic moments, presentations of fear, hope, love and confusion. The direction never gets boring, photography changes appropriately, and use of cliches is professionally supervised.

The show is one of the rare ones who urges you to actually care about yourself and your life, were you to be in any of the characters’ shoes, it makes you probe well your being, your mind, the way you live, the way you act and the way you deal with people. Audaciously, the storyline, touches on the very sensitive cords of moralities, life dilemmas, relationships and responsibility. The show profiles most accurately how life changes and evolves, how people cope with it, and most importantly, how they sometimes .. miss things.

Anyways, this is not a post about Grey’s Anatomy, you can find hundreds of reviews better than the best I could articulate about this TV show and the talented people who made it to existence.

I’m writing this to tell you about my all time favorite episode, I have the entire seasons set, and I watched it two times, and I started a third round not two weeks ago, and along with being surprisingly first-timer-like enjoyed and entertained (when I did the same with Desperate Housewives, I couldn’t make it to season three out of sheer boredom), I couldn’t help but stop at that episode, because for what it’s worth, it tops whole movies in my list, it was just the perfect 45 mins.

This is the 6th episode of the second season, it’s called: Into You Like a Train, and yes, it’s only the 15th of a 101 episode show so far, but none of the rest of the 100 surpassed it for me. The writers, the actors, the photographers, the director, the music, the storyline .. all .. were impeccable.

My favorite scene is when Derek Shepherd was in the elevator with Miranda Bailey, after breaking sad news to a patient’s fiancee after she passed away in the operation room, he was too emotional that moment to keep it together, he began to startle remarkably with tears, when she noticed, she stopped the elevator for him .. he then turned away to the back and kept sobbing and wiping away his tears, she then, after giving him some time, said: “Are you okay?”, he then said: “Yup”. He walked out smiling.

My favorite quote was: “It’s not fair either way” when the doctors decided to budge one patient through the pole (which went directly through the body of two victims of a huge train wreck), which meant fatal damage, bleeding and quite certain death for her, to be able to saw the pole and help the other one stuck. He, who shall survive, said: “This is not fair”, she, who’ll most probably die, said: “Don’t worry Tom, it’s not fair either way’. And when Derek told her fiancee: “She asked me to tell you that if love were enough, she’d still be here for you”, hardly making it through the words.

Well, still, all episodes had these kinds of experiences, but this episode had a notch. The music. I don’t know about you, but who picked that song, for those two scenes, were extraordinary, or they were just in the mood .. too in the mood to fall out of perfection’s zone.

If you didn’t watch the episode before, I recommend NOT listening to it, it kinda is special with the scene, but if you did, here goes:

It feels differently after a long work day. Her voice will give you grace, if you’re already in a mood swing then you might cry.

Life has been insane but today has been okay.

So, what is your favorite GA episode, what did you like most about it?
