In December 2009, military virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith), lost his wife Zoe (Salli Richardson) and daughter Marley (Willow Smith) in a helicopter accident during the chaotic quarantine of Manhattan as K.V. (Krippen Virus), a genetically-engineered variant of the measles virus meant as a cancer cure, mutates into a lethal strain and spread worldwide, killing 5.4 billion people (90% of humanity). In September 2012, Neville is left as the last healthy human in New York City. Of the 600 million survivors, only 12 million people were naturally immune to the virus. The rest degenerated into bald, pale, aggressive beings referred to as “Darkseekers,” who hunted down the immune humans as prey. The “Darkseekers” are so-called for hiding in buildings and dark places during the day due to a painful intolerance to UV radiation. The infected exhibit increased speed, agility, aggression, and strength. These abilities stem from an increased metabolic rate, which also consumes the infected with an overwhelming hunger which makes them resort to cannibalism. Despite their primal behavior, the Darkseekers seem to retain some basic problem-solving intelligence, animalistic cunning, and the capacity to organize themselves.kly running out of time.

Short Synopsis:

A Tourette Syndrome sufferer who hated school while growing up strives to become the teacher he never had in this inspirational Hallmark Hall of Fame drama. As a young boy, Brad began making off noises – impulsive noises that were impossible to suppress. As a result, Brad was tormented by his classmates, and accused by his teachers of intentionally disrupting class. It wasn’t long before Brad started to hate school, but then an understanding principal offered just the kind of encouragement the struggling boy needed to turn his life around. Thanks to the good will of one sympathetic educator, Brad decided to become the kind of teacher who favored patience and kindness over authority and control. After being rejected by twenty-four schools, Brad was finally given the opportunity to prove his true worth as a teacher. This is the story of a man who relied on resilience and determination to get through life, and who devoted his existence to helping others like him overcome incredible odds.

Moments

Grey’s Anatomy is an American medical drama television series. It follows the lives of interns, residents and their mentors in the fictional Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital in Seattle, Washington.  The show has been renewed for a seventh season which will begin airing September, 2010. The series focuses on a group of surgical interns, residents, and the various physicians who serve as their mentors in their professional and personal lives. The show’s producers used a “color-blind casting” technique, resulting in a racially diverse cast.

All roles for Grey’s Anatomy are cast without the characters’ races being pre-specified, in keeping with creator Shonda Rhimes’ vision of diversity. The five characters who are first introduced as interns are Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), George O’Malley (T. R. Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). They progress to residency after their first year in the surgical program. They are initially mentored by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), a general surgeon who becomes the hospital’s Chief Resident and later becomes an attending general surgeon. The surgical program is run by Chief of Surgery Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) who has a pre-existing personal relationship with Meredith, having had an affair with her mother when Meredith was a child. In Webber’s employ are attending physicians Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) and Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), who specialize in neurosurgery and cardiothoracic surgery respectively. Derek is introduced as Meredith’s love interest, while Preston begins a relationship with Cristina.

Introduced in the show’s second season are OB/GYN and neonatal surgeon Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), plastic surgeon Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres (Sara Ramírez). Addison is Derek’s wife who arrives in Seattle seeking a reconciliation with him. Mark is Derek’s former best friend, who aided the breakdown of his marriage by having an affair with Addison. Callie is introduced as a love-interest for George, whom she later marries, but ultimately divorces. Addison departs the show after the third season, as Kate Walsh left to star in spin-off Private Practice, but continues to make occasional guest appearances in Grey’s Anatomy.

The penultimate episode of the third season introduces intern Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), Meredith’s half-sister. The finale of season three sees Burke’s exit from the show, after leaving Cristina at the altar. Cardiothoracic surgeon Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) becomes a main character in the fourth season, after appearing as a recurring character in seasons two and three. During the fifth season, Hahn departs from the series. Two new characters are introduced: trauma surgeon Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw). Owen became a love-interest for Cristina, while Arizona became a love-interest for Callie. Season five also introduces the recurring character Dr. Sadie Harris (Melissa George), who had a friendship with Meredith years before. Sadie was expected to become a series regular but George’s contract was not renewed and her character was subsequently written out of the show.

George dies in the show’s sixth season, and Izzie departs following the breakdown of her relationship with Alex. Attending Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) is introduced as a cardiothoracic surgeon from Owen’s past. Several recurring characters are introduced, as Seattle Grace merges with Mercy West hospital. Residents Reed Adamson (Nora Zehetner), Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), April Kepner (Sarah Drew) and Charles Percy (Robert Baker) all transfer to Seattle Grace. Anesthesiologist Dr. Ben Warren (Jason George) is also introduced as a love-interest for Bailey.
