Grey's Anatomy (TV Series) Some Kind of Miracle (2007) User Reviews

Negan/Coach Taylor quasi-bottle episode

[slak96u · 9/10 · 19 January 2022]

The Meredith scenes are wonderful, although I can understand that they would be very devisive for some viewers. The Meredith plotline is incredibly surreal, similar to a plotline with Tony Soprano in The Sopranos, or even more similarly, Nate Fisher in Six Feet Under. Meredith and her mom, just geat, so well thought out and written. Its a bit trippy, artsy and wierd, but it is a well done sequence that deals with loss.

Easily the most thought provoking episode up to this point, and probably entire series.

Also, talk about guest stars...

Elizabeth Reaser would go on to co-star as Esme on the Twilight series, and countless other great shows.

Kyle Chandler would lead Friday Night Lights less than a year after this episode aired, a fantastic, iconic role.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan would star in Watchman, and half a dozen other things shortly after. Then, years later, the ultimate bad***, Negan.

Meredith in Heaven

[ZegMaarJus · 9/10 · 30 July 2023]

This Episode begins with Meredith, she gets reanimated by Richard and Bailey. Meredith sees Denny, Bonnie, Liz and Dylan in heaven, Doc the dog is also there. Bailey starts to CPR Meredith. Derek thinks that Meredith drowned herself into the water, he told this to Addison. Ellis gets a cardiac arrest, Derek resuscitates her. Bailey and Richard try the best they can to save Meredith's life. Meredith's life has been saved. Cristina tells Meredith that she is going to marry with Burke. Derek tells Meredith that her mother Ellis died. Amazing Episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 3, in the end Meredith nearly survived it. Now she can continue her love life with Derek.

Classic Grey's Anatomy...

[dragonpyr13 · 10/10 · 22 February 2007]

I have to say, I got worried when I saw that this episode would involve Meredith interacting with characters who are dead. First of all, it's not believable, and second of all, it's cliché. Though this is Grey's Anatomy.

I wondered what direction the show was going when I watched the first episode of this 3-episode special. It seemed too over-dramatic, and desperate to put on a good show. Last week came, and Meredith dies, and OMG.

GA is one of the shows that do the unthinkable, take huge risks, and take classic plot lines and recreate them with a twist. This was definitely a huge risk, killing Meredith (the main character). Though after the final fifteen minutes or so, it really pulled together themes from all three episodes: death, miracles, the question of if you died would people notice, suicide. Meredith's "death" incorporated all of those themes.

I also thought that when Meredith came back from the dead, it was totally unbelievable. Well, that was the point of the episode! Miracles happen, "against all logic," as Meredith said, and sometimes they just can't be explained. "Some Kind of Miracle." I can't get the scene where Cristina cried out of my head. It was so vivid, as Cristina doesn't do that. I love how Cristina has gone from this hard-as-steel surgeon, to one that does have a heart.

If you still wonder whether this episode was good: what other show could leave you honestly wondering if the main character would end up dying? Seriously?! Logic told me that Meredith would end up surviving, but another part of my believed that she just couldn't live through all of this trauma. Also, what other show could tie up everything so nicely, and so creatively? The one scene that sticks out to me so vividly, that really convinces me that the show is incredible, is one of the last ones: the one where Izzie brushes against Denny. If anything brought these shows together, it was that. One of the most memorable Grey's Anatomy moments EVER. This is show is not going anywhere.

A Masterwork Episdoe

[Tacerea · 10/10 · 23 February 2007]

Hi All Really liked this episode..It's really fantastic the idea about the world in-between Death and Living..Excellent and Fantastic the sequence of the drama and struggling throughout the episode to resuscitate Meredith..I felt there've been a sort exchanging of lives that occurred between her Mother Soul and her Soul beside the final warmth touch that Meredith finally found from her mother and she told her that she is anything but ordinary..I'm still confused about Izze and her relation with Callie,give her a Break Izze,she's your best friend wife,so live with it..About the Promise Between McSteamy and Addison,don't have high expectation for it to last for another couple of weeks because both have issues that don't help that much to made them keep that covenant especially that Mcsteamy can't resist to be other than Mcnasty..Looking forward the upcoming Episodes..Regards..

Wowww

[margarida_saramago · 10/10 · 25 February 2007]

Hell, this episode just blew me away! here in Portugal, we are still in the beginning of the 3rd series, and I accidentally found this episode on the Net. God, this is great, I loved that Limbo-like idea, that was genius! really, there should be more episodes like this! Congratulations to the creators and to the actors, who were all absolutely terrific! 10/10, loved it! This episode of Grey's Anatomy had a lot of quality, a lot of great ideas, it almost resembled other great medical dramas, like House M.D. or E.R., it was really mind-blowing... Can't wait to see it again when it airs here in Portugal!

I love originality

[dawnsacks-01578 · 10/10 · 10 February 2021]

This is one of my favourite episodes. I have watched it many many times. I love when TV shows try To go outside of the box. And this one does that in spades. People who are hating on this episode one everything just to be the same as it always is. I really admire and respect the writers for trying something very very different.

Star Trek DS9 episode feels

[tonyli2000 · 10/10 · 10 February 2022]

This episode is right out of Star Trek DS9 and that's not a slur on its writing. It's recreates Meredith's unconscious mind whilst talking to people past and gone, and it's right out of the theatre.

Miracle, maybe, but still too unbelievable for me...

[colaof · 5/10 · 3 January 2016]

Okay, let me just start by saying that I am a huge Grey's Anatomy fan. A couple of days ago I decided to binge watch Season 2, because I hadn't seen it in a while, and I remembered it being my favorite. Once I finished with Season 2 I decided to re-watch Season 3 as well. Overall Season 3 is nowhere near as good as Season 2 was IMO, and this 3 episode ark is one of the things I have a major problem with. Some Kind of Miracle is the perfect title for this episode, but I have a hard time believing that even a miracle could have saved Meredith's life. I am no doctor, but really? There's no way. My mind refuses to believe that there is a way. I don't know how long Meredith was supposedly in that water, but the show makes it seem like a really long time. Much longer than I think any human being could survive, and if they did, I can't believe that they would just wake up, and be okay afterwards. There would have to be some brain damage or something, and that's assuming they ever woke up at all. Plus, the whole caught in between thing I found to be a little ridiculous. I know Grey's Anatomy is pretty much a prime time soap opera, but this was little too soapy even for me. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is possible for someone to survive what Meredith did, but I would have to see it to believe it. Aside from the believability thing, the episode itself was alright I guess. The actors knocked it out of the park, as usual. As much as I love Grey's Anatomy, this episode started a trend that would continue, and ultimately lead me to walk away in either Season 6 or 7, I can't remember which. What I mean by trend is the overthetop, no way in a million years that would ever happen story lines. Anyone who's watched the later Seasons should know what I'm talking about. It wasn't only that though. The original cast was incredible. There are few shows where I can look at a cast, and honestly say that I like all of them. With Grey's Anatomy at one time I could say that. So even as much as I dislike Season 3 (these 3 episodes in particular) it's still one of the better ones, because it still had the original cast. If you can get past the soap opera feel of this episode, you should enjoy it

What was that!?

[TheMunkeyBoy · 5/10 · 7 March 2020]

The most un-Greys Anatomy episode I've seen. Sorry, it was slow and drawn out and the stuff happening inside Meredith's mind was ....well, it just was not winning me over. Next episode please.

What was that shark I just sailed over? Ugh.

[grayf · 4/10 · 24 February 2007]

I can't say I liked nothing about all three episodes, but there was a lot not to like.

The main drag here is that I spent most of ep2 and all of ep3 being constantly reminded I was watching a show here and how clever it all was. To answer the above comment: No. Not for a minute did I believe they were actually killing off the star. She was lying dead but they still used her for the voice-over. Dozens of times in previous episodes over the three years they 'called it' on some dead person, and everybody walked away in grief, and that was that. Here they went three heroic efforts too many and you knew it was going to work anyway. I want at least SOME try at disbelief suspension when I watch TV, SOME chance to get into the story. Not this.

According to all the char dev up to now, McD should have punched McS's hand off his shoulder. Nope. Up to now, Addy would have looked McS off in disgust, not challenged him to a duel or believed that would make any difference or thought she might get back with him. Nope. (Spinoff? Ugh.) M's ongoing tension with her mother, thrown away for some cheap thrill at the edge of the river styx. You are led to believe M is saving herself with her unconscious or whatever, but you are also led to believe heroic measures from the living are doing it. Which is it, and don't say both cause it's just too unbelievable they worked at the same time. Even the Drew Carrey dead episodes were more realistic than this.

Goof and question

[m_bergeron · 25 February 2007]

First of all, am I the only one that saw Dr. Bailey reaching for the door handle and missing it? It's when they all leave the room after she starts breathing normally and only Christina stays in the room. I just about burst when I saw this!

Second, I really thought the little girl that helped Meredith near the ferry disaster was Izzy's long-lost daughter. I didn't go back and check but the picture she showed was very similar to this girl from what I can remember. Hopefully, we'll be able to see her daughter soon. Every episode, I wait until she shows back up in Izzy's life. Personally, I thought Izzy's confession of her baby meant something for future episodes.
