Featured review
Interesting idea, but should've been a 10 or 20 minute dream sequence in a normal episode.
I love alternate history and thinking about "what could've been", but man it really didn't work in this case...
It's an interesting idea, and it could have worked if it was a part of some "It's a Wonderful Life" type plot. Maybe Meredith could have wished to have a different life because she has a bad day, she wakes up in this alternate reality, and eventually wishes to return.
As it is however, it's a worthless filler episode. Nothing in this episode has an effect on the rest of the series, and according to the synopsis it was literally all a dream.... so it was a complete waste of time.
