It was billed as a three hour finale, but each hour is broken down to its own episode number and title at the official site of the ABC show. This trio brings the second season to a total of 27 episodes, which is 5 more than than the typical season series. To be honest, I think it was about three hours too many.
The three hour finale was just way too long, especially the pair on Monday night. It was just too much. I like the series, and they usually keep the pace going with brief slow downs for emotional effect. This time it was bloated and draggy, it felt like they only had about 75, maybe 90, minutes of story and had to fill 180. Lots of padding to be had here.
The first hour, which aired in its regular Sunday night slot, has your favorite interns paired up with unlikely doctors, except for Karev who gets to continue working with Addison in the pre-natal unit. After the pairing off of stars, the story breaks off in two primary directions. First, a heart may have been found for Izzie's patient, and new love, so Burke and the more than eager Karev, hop in a helicopter and head off to another hospital where the donor is. Meanwhile, the second thread is exploding downstairs, there was a shooting in an office building resulting in a large number of gunshot victims flooding the ER, and then the OR.
The only story that I found interesting here was with Burke and Karev trying to get the heart. When they arrive at the other hospital, they find two donors and Burke's former classmate and nemesis. As Burke goes to harvest his heart, the donor dies on the table, making the heart useless. So, ever proactive, he stops the other harvest from starting. His plan is to get that heart for his patient. They go through the normal procedures of seeing who is higher on the list and who is in worse shape, but the results are inconclusive, rather they point towards the other guy.
Burke calls Izzie, who has been keeping a close eye on the patient, Denny. Izzie's feelings have been growing and raging out of control, and in an ill advised moment of desperation, she lies about Denny's condition. The lie gives an unknowing Burke the edge in the heart raffle. He wins more time for tests on Denny to prove the condition.

The dog was a symbol of Meredith's and Derek's relationship, so it had a point, just one drawn out longer than it should have been.
And as I said in the other thread, how the hell would any of them be let back into the hospital after nearly killing a patient, let alone being asked to set up his nieces prom (in a hospital yet)? That was BAD, plain and simple.
Not as bad as ignoring the entire surgical floor being blown up by a bomb with multiple people killed and then ignoring it in all future episodes, but still.

I'm sorry. The show has run it's course in my mind. there isn't enough defining characteristics for it that makes it unique. There are, however, many pointless and slightly forced momments. Take for example the interegation. This was a very serious offense to try and find out who was responsible for taking claim of the heart. it turned out to be a therapy session for each individual. It was absolutely ridiculus and drained away any credibility for that momment. After the first few it became too predictable. I know this is a contrasting opinion to many of you out there, but i just wanted to throw out my brief thoughts. Thanks.

The finale was too long and Izzy's treatment of Denny should have got her fired, but I love this show its really entertaining when its not dragging.
By the way you could try limewire for the season finale or other episodes

People please. I LOVE THE SHOW. If you think about it, it's trying to make it like reality. Seriously someone doesn't die just like that after a heart transplant. People I'm sorry to say, but I cried alot during the finale and personally I thought it was GREAT! Maybe sometimes the show isn't like reality, but what show that isn't reality has any reality at all? Everyone is intitled to their own opinion, but i though season 2 finale was AMAZING! and I can't wait to watch more Greys Anatomy soon.
