Season 5 is a pivotal one for the riveting Grey's Anatomy. The doctors on staff at Seattle Grace Hospital bloom and show new layers, the drama meets and exceeds that of previous seasons, and the show marks an important milestone--its 100th episode--with developments that, as with all the great Grey's episodes, brim with belly laughs and moving tears. The season gets off to a slow start, with perhaps a bit more relationship angst than even diehard fans would prefer. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek "McDreamy" (Patrick Dempsey) start out with the familiar push-pull of their love affair--but a resolution, at last, is in their future. Callie (the excellent, and newly glamorous, Sara Ramirez) wrestles with her sexual orientation. Cristina (Sandra Oh, never better) is still picking up the pieces from her ruined engagement to the departed Burke (Isaiah Washington). To help her, or maybe to throw her for another loop, the series introduces the gruff, macho military doc, Owen (one of TV's sexiest hunks, Kevin McKidd). Yet series creator and still active writer Shonda Rhimes unveils story arcs about midway through the season which have the surgeons' operating room dramas intersecting with the characters' private lives--with waves of heartbreaking results. Fans may take issue with "Dead Denny" (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his endless visitations--complete with sex--with Izzie (Katherine Heigl)--but as the season builds, Izzie's mystery illness, and her deep love for Alex (Justin Chambers) are treated with delicacy and respect, and Denny's character both reacts and ultimately supports. There's a wedding--a fairy-tale one--celebrating the show's 100th episode, and the love of the characters, and the pain they've overcome to get there--are equal parts of the very human, very lovely, result. The season finale is among the show's best ever, with the fate of two beloved characters, George (T.R. Knight) and Izzie, left unknown and laden with sorrow. The set's extras are a treat, including a rich 20-minute feature on the filming of the 100th episode. Oh exclaims of the gorgeous wedding cinematography, "I hope I'm lit like this for the rest of my life!" Fans will love hearing how scenes are edited, how characters are developed, and other juicy tidbits from Rhimes and her very talented crew. --A.T. Hurley

 Best Season Yet. November 18, 2009
Eve Galewitz (Connecticut, USA)
Shonda Rhimes outdid herself this season with the Denny-Izzy storyline. It was practically a movie in and of itself with Ms. Heigl & Mr. Morgan playing their ill-fated romance to death DO US NOT part. On the other side, Izzy seems to finally made of man of the chip on his shoulder bigger than a boulder Dr. Alex Korev. Also well played by Justin Chambers
Meredith & Derek became almost secondary characters until Derek's breakdown following an unsuccessful surgery - which was not a bad thing as the show tended to rest a little to heavily on McDreamy & Mare and there on-again off-again silliness. Meredith was much more interesting interacting with her Mom's diaries, dealing with her mixed feelings for the "chief" and with her "person" Christina Yang. And speaking of my favorite cold-hearted surgical resident, we finally found out a little about how she got that way through her sudden passion for McArmy surgeon Owen Hunt. McKidd was a perfect addition to the cast & a great foil for Yang, who needed a man with a little more angst than Mcdreamy & McSteamy provide.
McSteamy & little Gray gave Gray's the comic turn it needed to keep from drowning in the drama, with Lexie showing Dr. love 'em and leave 'em Sloan what it feels to be the woman in the relationship. Also bringing up the comedy factor was the adorable Sara Ramirez as Dr. Callie Torres, who when not fixing broken bones was exploring her sexuality with both genders.
Chandra Wilson deserved special praise for taking Dr. Bailey to a whole other level in Season 5. Watching her compassion while hold a dying child, or like a little girl at Christmas with her new medical equipment or facing divorce she was all over the place emotionally. What a performance.
Eric Stoltz was brilliant as the psycho under Meredith's care, while James Pickens, Jr., as Dr. Richard Webber is the glue that holds it all together as the chief of staff of Seattle Grace. I hope next season we see a bit more of Dr. Webber & his wife, especially in light of his confession to Meredith about how his relationship with Ellis and effect on her.
T.R. Knight was marvelous as George found himself trying to catch up to his fellow residents and looking for his place in the medical world.
Still miss Dr. Preston Burke, and appearances by Kate Burton as Meredith's Mom, but not so much Addison Montgomery.
 Overall Review November 17, 2009
A. Misra (New Delhi, India)
As I already have Grey's Anatomy Season 1 -4, I had to have Season 5 and I am glad that I do so now (I had only read about the episodes earlier and had not watched most of them) It is fun being a part of the full gang once again to smile and cry with them. Now waiting to see Season 6 on DVD.
Wow! Just loved it. November 16, 2009
LorF (Ireland)
I just loved series 5. After a disappointing series 4 I wasn't sure it Grey's Anatomy had run it's course for me, I'm happy to say no it hasn't, I'm sticking with it. It's a very emotional journey, I cried through most episodes and was inconsolable watching the last few hours. Can't wait for series 6 to hit Ireland.
AMAZING November 9, 2009
Matthew R. Freitag (Hudson<WI USA)
THE 5TH SEASON IS IS JUST WONDERFUL! EVERY SEASON I SWEAR THEY JUST GET BETTER AND BETTER IF YOUR NOT A GREYS ANATOMY FAN I RECOMMEND PICKING UP THE FIRST SEASON AND WATCH THE WHOLE THING, BY THE END OF THE SEASON YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR THE REST OF THEM.
A Must Have If You Are Still A Fan November 6, 2009
Thomas Lemkuil (CA, USA)
If you are still a fan of Grey's Anatomy then this is a must have addition. The series has suffered from character bloat but as I said; If you are still a fan, you will want this season.
