Scrubs (Official Thread)

[Adrian Villagomez]

Now showing at ABC on Tuesdays at 9/8c.

[llwilliamsll]

Woot to the first two episodes. Second one was a tear jerker.

Woot to the first two episodes. Second one was a tear jerker.

I love seeing people from The Wire in other shit. I'm referring to the dying black guy, for those who aren't enlightened. He plays the original mayor on The Wire.

[thursday8605]

the first two episodes were very solid and i was surprised. Glad they got back to the sad, emo story line kinda thing in the second one.

[ThexQuietxCull]

new thread is new

[Smash Adams]

I'm watching this season for one reason and one reason only

to learn Janitor's name

[Why Bother?]

I love this show so much, and these first two S8 episodes are really a great comeback, but the fact that there will be a lot of episodes like the second one is what I have a problem with. I love the second episode, amazing heartfelt story, but back in the first seasons this story would've been told at the same time as other stories from the rest of the cast, so it seemed lazy. What happened to Turk's career as a surgeon? I always liked the stuff he went through with his boss and the Todd and all that, now he just follows JD around, I hope this stops for a while further this season. I still give them props for doing the best with what they have since the whole cast can't appear in every episode because of money problems, like Tate said in the other thread.

[tomakebelieve]

Are there going to be 2 episodes every week or was that just for the first week?

[TheOtherAndrew]

I couldn't be happier with the way the show seems to be going so far.

[nfggc10]

I'm watching this season for one reason and one reason only

to learn Janitor's nameIf that's the case you can skip all the episodes except for the finale.

[just.Starla.]

Are there going to be 2 episodes every week or was that just for the first week?
I think they are doing it next week, too. But these episodes are much better than last season, so I don't mind.

[Justin_stacy]

I haven't watched this show in years.....and even I thought the frist two episodes back were pretty good.

[Adeniz19]

posting to be on the first page.

i really hope this season ends on a high note, and that they don't decide to continue this show with the new interns once braff leaves.

[googirl8907]

Are there going to be 2 episodes every week or was that just for the first week?
2 episodes a week according to wikipedia.

[fake empire]

These episodes were good, especially the second one. And I wish Aziz Ansari would be a permanent addition to the show. He is so funny.

[ThisIsNotDan]

yeah he is. not sure why people seem to dislike him from what I've read. my favorite new intern in a looooong time

[Until The Bombs]

Great start to the season.

[Skees]

yeah he is. not sure why people seem to dislike him from what I've read. my favorite new intern in a looooong time

Agreed. The episodes were good, and I was a fan of him as a new intern. Bummer if he's not staying on.

I agree. With all the air time the interns are getting, i really hope they aren't trying to set us up to love them so that they can continue the series. I have faith in Bill but...

[screwtape]

I love seeing people from The Wire in other shit. I'm referring to the dying black guy, for those who aren't enlightened. He plays the original mayor on The Wire.

me too. they should all have jobs, and thankfully i've seen a few of the actors showing up a lot, but in small roles right now.

[ihavechappedlip]

Has anybody ever noticed that the entire original cast of Spin City has been on Scrubs at some point? (minus the girl, I think she was the secretary) Plus Heather Locklear from later in the series.

[Mitch]

I'm hoping this season is horrible just to save myself from having to suffer through seasons six and seven to get to this one ;-)!

[Marty_s]

so is janitor gone?

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

so is janitor gone?
Nope. He'll be back and apparently, DOUBLE SPOILER ALERT....


He gets married this season and we learn his name on the last episode

[Drew Beringer]

STEAK NIGHT!

[XEmoBoyShandorX]

Nope. He'll be back and apparently, DOUBLE SPOILER ALERT....

Holy shit that would be amazing.

[Ailite]

I can't wait for tommorow night.

i don't know if i really want to know it...

[showyourteeth]

STEAK NIGHT!

x

we're going to steaaaak night
we're gonna eaaat it right
steak is such a treat
it is the world's BEST MEAT!

[JustSway]

i don't know if i really want to know it...

Im not sure if this needs to be spoiler protected, but so I dont piss people off:

Bill Lawrence has said a fair few times in interviews that learning the janitors name will be a sign that the show is done and something that would only ever happen on the last episode.

[TK]

Will new episodes be on ABC's site? I have classes Tuesday nights:-(

[pennie]

Yes they will.

[canadianloon]

He gets married this season and we learn his name on the last episode

I am imagining that scene where he's married to Blonde Doctor and their kids are all janitors and doctors.

[JustSway]

I am imagining that scene where he's married to Blonde Doctor and their kids are all janitors and doctors.

This is the only ending I will be happy with. Haha.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

This is the only ending I will be happy with. Haha.
Haha. I always did find that sweet.

That makes me think of that scene where Kelso imagines what it would be like to marry Elliot.

Elliot and Kelso sit far across the table from one another eating dinner. Elliot looks up at Kelso and sneers.

Elliot: I hate you

Kelso pauses from his meal at first as if he's schocked. His face relaxes and he shrugs.

Kelso: I know

Fantasy ends.

Kelso: Different wife, same story.

[JustSway]

Haha, thats a great Scrubs moment.

[chr1s]

yeah he is. not sure why people seem to dislike him from what I've read. my favorite new intern in a looooong time
Oh man, Ed and Denise slayed me

Ed's 'heyy, how come I don't know about that super tight new greeting?' scene and Denise's cancer line were stupendous.

Both episodes were a great return to form though.

[drudo182]

Maybe it was just local here but for both episodes, the audio was out of synch pretty bad with the video... It was very annoying. Other than that, loved the two new episodes. Second one was wonderful.

[acfrue]

it must have been just your local channel, i wouldve been pissed too. and yes, the second one was probably the best dramatic episode theyve ever done (i really like the 2 with brendan fraser).

[SwishMX48]

Best dramatic episode they've ever done was My Old Lady imo. I have no problem admitting that brought me to tears.

Can't wait for tonight.

[acfrue]

Whoa. Drudo, I haven't seen you in a long time. Welcome back.

[TMS2787]

Two episodes all season? Sounds good to me but how many episodes are going to be done?

Can't wait for tonights.

[Drew Beringer]

so pumped for tonight

[Drew Beringer]

I hate hate hate Courtney Cox so much in this show. She is not even funny.

[Drew Beringer]

35!

[Drew Beringer]

hahahaha @ the same clothes

[nfggc10]

I hate Elliott. Any scene involving her drags down everyone else. Zach's reading in the "you have multiple sclerosis" scene was terrible which is most likely caused by doing a scene with that human cartoon of a woman.

[Drew Beringer]

Janitor feeding Kelso was great.

[Ailite]

"Damn you God"

[acfrue]

hahaha at the janitors ex-inmate character.

[Drew Beringer]

hate Maddox and mini-Elliot.

[Drew Beringer]

hahahaha @ the Janitor's ideas.

[Chico]

Haha at the photoshop idea.
edit: beaten to the punch.

[more heart]

I liked both episodes last week but the second one was by far my favorite.

[acfrue]

WALTER MICKHEAD!!! now all we need to know is the janitors name.

[Ailite]

I really like what they're doing with Kelso

[Ailite]

Haha, this is so good so far.

[Drew Beringer]

Who wants to eat some ceREAL!

[Matt008]

hahahahaha I laughed out loud at that cereal bit

[acfrue]

Jimmys back!!!

[sweetforever]

Loving the two episodes so far, favorite parts...

Janitor: Reindeer stamped...

JD: Yes I miss you, I miss your smell (in reference to Dr Kelso)


Who wants to eat some CeREAL!!!!

[sweetforever]

hahahah "smartest person on the Hills"... love Cox's speeches

[fake empire]

Where the hell is Aziz? This is bullshit

[Drew Beringer]

yes Elliot might be annoying, but her body is so banging.

[Drew Beringer]

YES THE SEX BUDDY MUSIC!!

x

[acfrue]

Where the hell is Aziz? This is bullshit

I heard that there was some financial issues and that some episodes will only have part of the cast and other episodes will have the other part of the cast. Like last week's second episode with pretty much just Turk and J.D.

yes Elliot might be annoying, but her body is so banging.

This. Sarah Chalke is fiiiiiine.

[Drew Beringer]

This is a great episode, a really nice mature conversation between JD and Elliot.

[Drew Beringer]

you got a pay CHEEECKKKK

[Ailite]

Haha, "Yeah you diiiiiid."

[Drew Beringer]

and I got it from you because we had sex in a pond

Yeah you did.

[Ailite]

Goddamn this is the Scrubs I love.

[Drew Beringer]

The second episode again of this week is really good, really mature.

[Ailite]

What's this song, anyone know?

[Drew Beringer]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

x

[acfrue]

Yes, this is a very good episode. I really like the use of Kelso, especially him giving advice to J.D. and Elliot.

[doomcrs04]

Dan Keyes ftw. The song is by Young Love.

[Ailite]

That was just as good as last week, this season is off to a fantastic start

[acfrue]

No idea on the song, sorry.

[gregisonfire]

Thoughts on JD and Elliot being back together? I'm stoked, I thought they always should've been together. Keith just always seemed like a dbag.

[sweetforever]

you got a pay CHEEECKKKK

and I got it from you because we had sex in a pond

Yeah you did.

my favorite parts of the episode. Also, I'd like to know the song at the end of the episode as well.

[fake empire]

blehhhhhhhhh

[nfggc10]

yes Elliot might be annoying, but her body is so banging.Eh, she peaked in season 4 looks wise. Absolutely can't stand long blonde hair on girls.

[Drew Beringer]

Lawrence and crew handled the JD/Elliott scenario brilliantly. They handled it almost perfectly. They are meant to be.

[Drew Beringer]

I'm not looking at the hair ;-)

[ThisIsNotDan]

good episodes yet again. not as good as last weeks pair. thank god Maddox is gone. I loved the little bit where she was like "Cox, what a ridiculous name". I miss Ed though

and I had quite the fanboy moment when I heard Young Love at the end of episode two. great song usage

[fake empire]

Lawrence and crew handled the JD/Elliott scenario brilliantly. They handled it almost perfectly. They are meant to be.

except for that time in season 4(?) when it was established that they're not attracted to each other anymore X-)

[selftitled85]

Where can I find the episodes online?

[SandManTEND13]

I really enjoyed those two episodes, I thought they were really well put together. I like what they are doing with the whole thing. God I love the janitors comments and remarks haha the jail thing was great. I don't like mini Elliot very well but thats just me. Ted makes me laugh also. So far off to a good start

[nfggc10]

I'm not looking at the hair ;-)Her body is basically what I was eluding to when I said she peaked during season 4. The hair comment was just a side note.

[Andrew Love]

first episode was bad IMO but the second one picked up a little bit...

[nfggc10]

Where can I find the episodes online?http://eztv.it/index.php

They'll be on there in an hour or so.

[SandManTEND13]

Where can I find the episodes online?
hulu might have it, I am not sure

EDIT: nevermind someone posted it, sorry

[acfrue]

I'm not looking at the hair ;-)

hahaha, neither am I.

except for that time in season 4(?) when it was established that they're not attracted to each other anymore X-)

it is possible for people to change their mind.

[SwishMX48]

I'm so glad JD and Elliott are getting together in this season, and not season 7

[Drew Beringer]

except for that time in season 4(?) when it was established that they're not attracted to each other anymore X-)
people can change

[Keagan Ilvonen]

ahhhhh I'm so excited.

[Greg]

i really enjoyed both episodes but i really don't want JD and Elliot together. i didn't mind how it went down but i just feel like they have shown time and time again that they are not meant to be together. oh well. my hope is that since they did it so early they are just building up to them breaking up one last final time.

[fake empire]

JD had more chemistry with Kim. and Kim is way more likeable than Elliot.

[doomcrs04]

good episodes yet again. not as good as last weeks pair. thank god Maddox is gone. I loved the little bit where she was like "Cox, what a ridiculous name". I miss Ed though

:highfive:

[Chico]

Oh man, love the continuity.

[|adr3naLine|]

Wow, I didn't realize they are playing 2 episodes now. Haha now I gotta find the second online.

[poppa Q]

Her body is basically what I was eluding to when I said she peaked during season 4. The hair comment was just a side note.
I agree, I think she's way too thin now.

[acfrue]

I really like the re-incorporation of this (http://scrubs.mopnt.com/scripts/211.php):

J.D.'s Narration: And that's when she said the words every man is dying to hear.

Elliot: I guess we could just be sex buddies.

Triumphant trumpet music plays.

J.D.: If you want....

[Drew Beringer]

JD had more chemistry with Kim. and Kim is way more likeable than Elliot.
How is Kim more likeable? She lied to JD about having his baby!

[fake empire]

How is Kim more likeable? She lied to JD about having his baby!

Well I mean before they were writing her out of the show. She is funnier and less whiney.

[acfrue]

Kim is just a bitch, J.D. and her were completely wrong for each other.

[staywhatyouare2]

Can anyone tell me what song was playing at the end of the last episode this week when JD took hold of Elliot's hand. The only lyrics that I remember were at the very end where one voice sang "See you around" and another overlapped "Be with you." I know that is vague, but hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance!

it appears to be called "close your eyes".

[ILiveInMyCar]

The second episode tonight was classic Scrubs, the whole way down to great music. A real return to form this season. I actually realized tonight that when Scrubs first started I was starting med school and it's going to be finishing when I'm done with residency myself. Just one of those weird things that i think will make this show always take me back to certain points in my llife.

[staywhatyouare2]

Thanks so much! I really like that song!

[WordzandDreamz]

That guy was in Recover?

[ThisIsNotDan]

That guy was in Recover?

that song was originally a Recover song too...crazy

[JustSway]

Wow. Two brilliant episodes, the 2nd especially. I love Kelso now, hes so Human and it actually warms me a lot to him in past years, too. I know we'd seen sparks of a decent, compassionate person before, but I suppose no longer being chief of medicine made it easier for him to be that person. I really, really liked JD and Elliots conversation, too. It was filmed a lot like an interview and it flowed really nicely, it was a really candid look at where both the characters were. It all seemed very natural. I like it a lot.

Oh on a side note:

I know Cox becomes C.O.M, but I fear what thats gonna do to him. He's already a pretty bitter dude, so whats the added preassure going to do to him? He's going to have to make the same shitty decisions that Kelso had to, it doesnt mean he's going to like it. He just doesnt seem to have the same coping mechanism that Kelso had. I could see the job as C.O.M destroying Cox to some degree. Unless they make it a total cop-out and have it in a fantasy land where Cox can run the hospital how he wants regardless of budgets, peoples insurance etc. It just wouldnt happen realistically.

Wow, I totally over-thought that.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

Good to see The Todd

[googirl8907]

Good episodes this week.

[jusscali]

Good to see The Todd again.

Thought the first of the two episodes sucked. No turk, no dice. Second episode was great and I'm glad they are going to try it again. I wasn't sure they were going to address it that quickly into the season though.

[Pugh758]

This was the first time in the last couple seasons where I really enjoyed an entire episode of scrubs, with both episodes tonight. You had the character connections which I thought last season lacked. And the bringing up of "sex buddies" was the funniest thing from the show in a while.

[drudo182]

I enjoyed the episodes tonight. First one bummed me out because there was no Turk (my fav. character) but there was some good stuff with him in the second episode. And Chalke on the bed... mmmyeah.

[Alex!]

I liked these two A LOT more than the first two. I LOVE all the references to the other seasons (the noise after sex buddies, the janitors 3 fingered fake wife, etc.).

Also, two 3rd wall kinda things I thought were cool:

1) Courtney Cox's character telling Dr. Cox his name was ridiculous.
2) JD saying he watching Friends the other night.

And the best thing of all...

JD AND ELLIOT ARE BACK!

[Jason Tate]

Second episode was great -- no Carla means solid A episode! First was ok.

[CityOfLust]

JD and Elliot are back indeed!

I think that most scrubs fans want JD and Elliot back together simply because it was fun to see them together and they are two of the main cast members. And I predict a trade-off of cast members to the new interns. ABC just bought scrubs and the original cast is ready to move on. My predictions:

Dr. Kelso will resume his post at Chief of Medicine, but at the end of the season he will willingly retire giving it to Dr. Cox
JD and Elliot will get married.
We learn the Janitor's real name if it isn't Jan Itor.

[terrycw89]

No way in hell Dr. Kelso becomes Chief again. He was forced to retire because he was too old.


Anyways, the show has been great so far. I actually want JD and Elliot to be together. She doesn't annoy me at all (at least this season...).

[bouttogetfancy]

I liked the little throwback to the sex buddies thing haha

[JesusV2]

If they break up I'll be pissed

[Drew Beringer]

Second episode was great -- no Carla means solid A episode! First was ok.
Not gonna lie, I enjoyed seeing Carla bring down mini-Elliott a few notches.

[cassusriff]

Sex buddies throwback was great! I liked the Janitor and JD referencing all the past in the first episode as well.

"You locked me in a water tower!"
"You wrote on the wall"
"You destroyed my scooter Sasha!"
"You know I hate Wednesdays"
"You haunted my Pediatric patients"
"You didn't wear the shorts that my imaginary wife made for you."

Also, Elliot's character is very likeable so far. After that first episode she has been very mature. I missed Turk in the first episode.

[drudo182]

Janitor telling JD that he knows that he hates Wednesdays had me laughing loud.

JD has been the most likable he has been in a few years. I was worried at the start of the second episode they were going super gay with him again (the Oprah stuff) -- but they toned it down and he got serious at the end ... which I liked.

[neo506]

Second episode was great -- no Carla means solid A episode! First was ok.I really missed Turk in the first episode though :-(

also did anyone else catch Zach Braff making fun of Garden State? or was it just me?

I'm just happy that they have actually kept to their promise of making the characters human again. No more cartoon versions of themselves, and yet they still manage to be funny. Funny how that works.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I really missed Turk in the first episode though :-(

also did anyone else catch Zach Braff making fun of Garden State? or was it just me?
What part was that? I'm not sure I caught it.

[neo506]

What part was that? I'm not sure I caught it.When he and Eliot are at the table talking about not having drama in their relationships, and he says something like "Yeah one of us wont be running through an airport trying to stop the other from getting on a plane." The first thing I thought of was Garden State

[chasingsafety]

When he and Eliot are at the table talking about not having drama in their relationships, and he says something like "Yeah one of us wont be running through an airport trying to stop the other from getting on a plane." The first thing I thought of was Garden State

i caught that too, haha

See I thought that was a reference to Friends because right after that Elliot says "You were watching the Friends marathon yesterday weren't you?" and he says yes because that's exactly what Ross and Rachel did at the end of Friends. I don't know, maybe it was supposed to be a reference to both but that's what I had thought it was.

[nevets]

I enjoyed the Limbeck intro

[poppa Q]

Janitor telling JD that he knows that he hates Wednesdays had me laughing loud.

YES.

[Kid Defender]

JD has been the most likable he has been in a few years. I was worried at the start of the second episode they were going super gay with him again (the Oprah stuff) -- but they toned it down and he got serious at the end ... which I liked.


I thought the cereal thing was hilarious! Both great episodes; the second one was def better. Carla Is the only character that still sucks.

Im gonna go with reference to both just for the hell of it

[JIMMYateEARTH]

hells to the yeah for the Limbeck song at the start of the second episode tonight, I'm very happy that this show remains just as funny as it ever was

[Chris Fallon]

First episode was alright. Kelso and Janitor made it for me.

[Andrew Love]

not sure how I feel about JD and Elliot

[Andrew Love]

hells to the yeah for the Limbeck song at the start of the second episode tonight, I'm very happy that this show remains just as funny as it ever was
which song was it?

[just.Starla.]

Both episodes were okay, but I'm so glad Courtney Cox is gone. Im really sure how I feel about JD and Elliot get back together though.

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

its funny how a season and better writting has affectted my view on J.D. adn Elliot getting back together. I was sooooo pissed when they almost kissed at the end of season 6 but now I'm totally cool with the idea of them together. The scenes with them talking it out was very mature and show how they are kinda destined to be together. (and of how the writers have stepped it up)

[Jason Tate]

Kelso's advice was great.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

I agree, I was adamantly against them getting together last season, but I have to admit that it was a good episode and I didn't hate the idea of them together again.

I still feel bad for Keith though.

[Charles777]

I can't believe I missed Donald on Conan last night

X|

[new_arbiter]

I've enjoyed this season much more than the last two. The second episodes of each week have been really good.

[tottivillarossi]

Series 6 & 7 both sucked. How is 8?

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Series 6 & 7 both sucked. How is 8?
Much better. Definitely give it a go. The writers have really stepped up their game.

[Adeniz19]

yea, i'm really not as upset about jd and elliot getting back together then i thought i would be. they wrote a good stand alone episode and it just worked.

[nevets]

which song was it?

I'm pretty sure the song is called "Friends"

[Marty_s]

does anybody know what the song was at the end of i think the second episode?

[jusscali]

I mean I think it's really been good. As much as the last few seasons haven't been as good, I still continued to watch all the way through. So far this season has had it's moments of improvement, but I feel like it's still on the same plane. As of right now the seasons has been 2/4 for me - certainly not a true return to form.

I'd rank it episode 2,4,1, 3

[Adeniz19]

See I thought that was a reference to Friends because right after that Elliot says "You were watching the Friends marathon yesterday weren't you?" and he says yes because that's exactly what Ross and Rachel did at the end of Friends. I don't know, maybe it was supposed to be a reference to both but that's what I had thought it was.it was definitely a friends reference.

[Marty_s]

i know there have only been 4 episodes of this show so far this season but I think they need more with Turk and J.D. There has only really been one episode with really good Turk/JD interaction and it ended up being a kinda sad episode (my favorite of the season so far though).

[Adeniz19]

i just read an article saying ABC won't allow Todd to wear his banana hammock... what a bummer

[RedWineSheets]

wow, this is like a throwback to when scrubs was good(several seasons ago) second episodes of the first two weeks are great. First one this week was meh...I love me some turk!

[jusscali]

i just read an article saying ABC won't allow Todd to wear his banana hammock... what a bummer

That's some bullshit, especially with all the trash that appears on the network. I'm just glad he made an appearance

[Dr. Acula]

So far this season has had it's moments of improvement, but I feel like it's still on the same plane. As of right now the seasons has been 2/4 for me - certainly not a true return to form.

I'd rank it episode 2,4,1, 3

Pretty much agree.

[drudo182]

I agree completely. I just watched season six again recently and it is really funny, a lot like the first 5. I mean the first 5 were amazing, but 6 was a good season. Now season 7, different story. But these new ones are getting back to the classic Scrubs we've come to love.

Episode 4 was fantastic. I'm really enjoying this season so far and I'm surprised at how well they handled the JD/Elliot thing. If they can keep up this quality of episode I'm definitely going to be sad when it comes to an end.

The song at the end of the second episode sucked, both as a song and as far as fitting into the scene goes. The episodes last night weren't as good as the first two but were still better than most of S7.

[ESundy36]

Just watched the two episodes from last night. I am really really liking how season 8 is a return to form.

[bouttogetfancy]

oh and the beginning of the Turk/JD fantasy sequence was hilarious

[CityOfLust]

Best episode this season was probably the second episode of season 8. it was spot on classic scrubs with a terminal patient.

[terrycw89]

The way they are handling the fantasy sequences is so much better this season.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

This. I keep meaning to mention that fact. I know they're fantasy sequences but over the last couple years they were getting pretty ridiculous and drawn out. I like what they've done so far this season.

i just read an article saying ABC won't allow Todd to wear his banana hammock... what a bummer
LAME.

I agree. Five is probably my favorite, and six isn't the greatest but still underrated.

i'm pleasantly surprised with this season. episodes 2 and 4 were great, while 1 and 3 weren't bad by any means as well. i'm definitely glad jd and elliot are back together. i have faith that the writers will give them the proper ending.

I think they should just leave them together, no drama, just like they talked about.

I think it would make for an interesting season, and possibly finale.

[canadianloon]

JD is gay! JD is gay! JD is SO gay!!!!

Yeah, I know it's a running gag that he acts gay but isn't... but you mark my words... the series is going to end with him coming out of the closet and that's why he can't be with Elliot.

[AbeLurkin]

IMO, it's a bit early in the season for them to just "end up together"

these 4 episodes have been great. maddox sucked. nice to see her go quickly, but smart to get some new viewers by adding her at the start of the season.

music has been good this season as well.

If they hadn't had her character be unbelievably bitchy, I think she would have fit in well.

Who do you think is going to end up as new chief?

[nfggc10]

Finally got around to watching Tuesday's episodes in full. Practically no complaints between the two. The first one was decent enough and the second one was fantastic. Kudos to Bill Lawrence for giving his show the kick in the ass it needed and to ABC for picking it up and reminding me why I loved this show for so long. The entire JD/Elliot conversation had the heart/maturity that was lacking the last couple years.

I like the new interns well enough, but I think they're getting too much face time and it's unnerving...

Kelso won't be back. I bet Cox (Perry) takes the position.

Also, JD is not gay.

Is Kelso gonna regress in age like Benjamin Button to get his job back?

True I guess. It just seems like they're trying to make them more like "main" characters than in past seasons to me.

thought of this too, but if it did happen, i think it would be during a finale or towards the end.

If you recall Dr. Cox filled in as Chief for an episode or two last season, its not too farfetch'd (pokemon ftw!!).

Yeah and then came that out of order finale and then there was Maddox in the new season so it'd be weird if they bring him back as chief once again, eh we'll see.

[canadianloon]

If JD is not gay, why was it so easy for him to imagine having sex with Turk? Ha. I'm not 100% convinced he is, but if they go in that direction, I'm not going to be surprised. Besides, given what Bill Lawrence has said about the JD/Elliot resolution, it's the perfect way out.

Because his psyche immediately imagines anything outlandish you say to him, which is exactly what he told Elliot right after she suggested the relationship between JD and Turk. It won't be the ending because it would be so random, and revealing that JD is gay would not be closing a storyline as much as leaving a whole bunch of holes and space for more storylines. After last season, Bill Lawrence and the writers know not to jerk the fans around anymore. As for what Bill Lawrence said about making a "compromise" for the JD/Elliot relationship, I took that as meaning that either he'll have them together now only to decide to give it time and take it slow after JD moves at the end of the season, or they'll just break it off altogether due to the move. I just really find the gay thing hard to believe.

Besides, given what Bill Lawrence has said about the JD/Elliot resolution, it's the perfect way out.You wouldn't be surprised if the main character of a 8 season long series turned out to be gay? There is no possibility of that occurring and I think it's a safe assumption that no writer ever on staff has considered that either.

[Why Bother?]

Of course he's not gay, all the gayness with Turk isn't new at all, I don't see why you're all thinking that now.

[Andrew Love]

I miss mean Kelso

Just because J.D. can imagine his head exploding or Jordan feeding on a goat Jurassic Park styler doesn't mean its going to happen. Its just his imagination.

JD/Elliot for the win.

Besides, JD already kissed Turk once before to prove a point to Turk.

[Jason Tate]

Let's start by saying that that the "p" thing finally worked, but only if I don't edit anything. Kicking my computer only worked a little. Thanks for all the help. Okay, here was my thinking. There was massive argument/discussion between writers/cast/wife. Ultimately it came down to this - I wanted, at some point, to sleep with my wife again... No. The real skinny. Christa, Zach and others were right: Sarah and Zach do have chemistry, and whether I wanted people to care or not, they apparently care about this couple. So, I'm stuck in a position of not bbeing able to please everybody. Which, then, is the better option? If they don't get together, there will be no pleasing the happy ending folk that wanted this to be so. They would simply feel like I got them invested and then didn't deliver. On the other hand, if they do get together, I will lose everyone that desperately didn't want this to happen. Or will I (arch eyebrow raised)? See, my problem with the Jelliot coupling was that we - as writers - fell into a trap whenever we put them together. We wrote about nothing but them as a couple, and the show changed. This is why I tried to kill them for good with that awful "I don't love you" moment. But it didn't bury it, so I had to acknowledge that the relationship was unkillable. I made a deal with the other writers. If we could put J.D. and Elliot back together in a mature/grown-up/non-sexual/non-sensational manner, and if we promised not to make the show suddenly about them, then I was open to it. Plus, I was not interested in their re-coupling being a key element in the finale of the show. But the fourth episode...? I tried to put into J.D.'s mouth, words that are a promise to fans (from us writer types) about the "no more ridiculousness" tone of this relationship now. So, I hope the shippers are happy, I hope the others don't feel betrayed, but those are my reasons. And, of course, the sex with my wife thing.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

so, i have really enjoyed this season so far - my question is what would you call what JD and Elliott went through in ep.4 (the ep. where they are talking to each other at the coffee shop). basically, what is it called when you have been through so much with someone that you can't exactly forget the past. you can't let go of all the crap that has happened between you, and your not even sure if you want to move past it, but you know you care about them anyway....or something...

and after figuring out maybe what that is actually called, what are some songs that illustrate this feeling?

[WakingTheMisery]

Sigur Ros- Hoppipolla

[Jason Tate]

Life.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

stupid my post got moved. now i get absolutely no help with my question. i was using the show's theme as an example. not necessarily to even talk about the show. thanks, whoever did it. although, "life" is actually a very good name for it.

i was erring more on the lyrical side of things, but yeah, i can see where the feeling of that song might do it.
