• Grey's Anatomy
• There are many different things that affect a persons lifestyle. For some people, family always comes first. For others, their career is what they strive to achieve. For the minority few, a television show is their safe haven. It is absurd to think about how a television show could influence a person and their actions. However, an average person watches 3-4 hours of television a day. The fact is that television shows are a big part of a persons life. 
• One show in particular that has influenced the viewers at home is Grey's Anatomy. Not only does this show give people a view into the life of a surgeon's job, it also provides characters with believable personalities. In the last five years, Grey's Anatomy has proven itself to be a source of inspiration, drawing an average of 17 million viewers each week and more tears shed in a hour than imaginable. 
• Five years ago, the first episode aired, introducing all the main characters and paved the way into their long journey from being interns to residents at Seattle Grace Hospital. Meredith Grey, a cynical first year intern, follows her mothers footsteps in becoming a doctor at the same hospital. Christina Yang, an independent and career focused intern, strives to be the best of colleagues. Isabel Stevens, a model-turned doctor, breaks through the stereotypes and uses compassion as a tool. Alex Kurev, a pompous know-it-all, just trying to stay afloat while getting the ladies. George O'Malley, the weakest link, struggles to rid the name of 007, license to kill. The show follows these five interns through each surgical experience, family drama, and romantic endeavors. 
• As the seasons grow, so do the characters. Meredith falls in love with an attending doctor, Derek Shepard, also known as one of her bosses. She then proceeds to find out that he is married and is left hanging while Derek trial runs this marriage one last time. Then magically, they fall back where they belong, with each other. Meredith also deals with her mother's Alzheimer disease, death, and the discovery of her father and his other family. Christina, like her best friend Meredith, also gets involved with an attending doctor, Preston Burke, who inspires her to be a cardio-surgeon, teaching her everything, then leaves her at the altar. As Christina excels in the program, George struggles to keep up. After their third year of the program, a test is administered to wheel out the unqualified. George fails his test and is sent back to start over his internship while the rest of his group passes. Isabel, being an optimistic romantic, falls in love with a patient, who ends up dying, and resigns from the intern program. After realizing what she has done, she rejoins the program and ends up in a relationship with Alex. After being called out by many doctors, Alex loses his arrogance and becomes a team player. 
• Last night, the fifth season finale aired with two major punches. While love is the air with Meredith and her marriage to Derek and Christina and her love confession, death overshadows the finale. In the most recent episodes, Isabel spends it fighting her cancer and getting married to Alex. Unfortunately, the cancer takes a spin and she passes away. After pulling a girl away from an incoming bus, George is however, ran over and in critical condition. At the end, George and Isabel are seen all dressed up, as in an alternate reality. 
• As a fan, questions relating to the deaths and what will happen next are afloat. But as of right now, this show is more powerful and tear-jerking as ever. Grey's Anatomy makes people cry, laugh,yell, and even quote it. So to the deaths of George and Isabel, "seriously"?
