This is not a good thing and it's not meant to be, for them, at least. Frankly, it's even worse for us. Sep 12, 2013 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review… Renie Scolaro Mora PopMatters This is Grey's Anatomy and with that comes the usual drama, sex, love and whacky medical mysteries thrown in the mix to keep things moving. If that's what you're looking for, I think you'll enjoy the season premiere just fine. Sep 5, 2013 | Full Review… Kelly West CinemaBlend The episode titles set the stage, but there were plenty of developments and vintage Grey's Anatomy moments you never saw coming. Sep 25, 2009 | Full Review… Steve Marsi TV Fanatic While the return of our favorite oversexed surgeons was wobbly, it had its moments - and was characteristically chock full of quotable moments. Oct 2, 2013 | Full Review… Jennifer Armstrong Entertainment Weekly Top Critic I am at least convinced that nerve-racked Meredith and her buddy band of handsome cutups have a higher calling than liposuction, insurance fraud, grandstanding, and golf.
