Dan in the reboot?

49 Upvotes

If they brought Dan back I'd hope he'd be a millionaire real estate guy living in Malibu or something. Like JD is head of medicine and all that, but Dan flies in on a private helicopter like that one episode with Cox and Ron. And he's still Dan, chewing gum and calling Cox Cox-inator and is like 'Sucks with the cancer and all that, where can I get a beer?' and refers to Elliot as 'that one chick I almost had a threesome with' lol

S10 Revival Spoilers I like the callback with turk only having daughters

36 Upvotes

So my wife and I recently rewatched scrubs again and yesterday we hade the episode were turk lost one of his balls.

At the end of the episode JD says if he knows that he can only have daughters now. This was simply a joke but I like it that he actually only has daughters in the revival.

What I hope to see in Season 2

Upvotes

Firstly, I loved season 10 / 1 of the revival. It couldn't have been a more perfect restart to my favourite show. The old characters feel exactly like we remember them, the new interns are great, the recreated set was flawless, and it had the same combination of humour and heart that we love about Scrubs. I can't wait to see what happens with the love triangle around Asher, Amara and Tosh, and just to hang out with the older doctors some more again.

But it was not without its weak points, and if the show wants to continue for a long time, these are the things I think we need to get right this season to keep the momentum going.

- Life seems to be too easy for JD. I get that he's a competent doctor and it makes perfect sense that he is good at being Chief of Medicine, but it seems too easy for him. With Kelso and Cox, we saw often just how difficult emotionally the job can be. We need to see JD making mistakes, and being challenged.

This brings me to my second point:

- Give us a real enemy. I'm glad that Dr. Park is gone. His character simply didn't work as an antagonist. They have partly set this up with the Janitor and his son at the end of the last season, so that will be fun. But we probably also need somebody who is a pain for JD as the Chief of Medicine. One example of how this could be done would be to have JD's new girlfriend have a jealous ex-boyfriend or husband. He could be a sort of evil Elon Musk type figure. Some tech billionaire who wants to buy the hospital, or maybe he owns it, and wants to make it more profitable, stop them treating uninsured patients etc. Somebody that has genuine power over JD and can make his life hell. This character wouldn't have to be connected with his girlfriend obviously but that would be interesting.

- Things are a little too perfect with Elliot. I'm glad they get along, but it probably isn't realistic that it's so easy for them after the first few episodes. Whether it's some kind of love triangle, issues with co-parenting, or something else, I think it would be interesting to explore.

- Make the hospital feel more real. It feels often in the revival that there are almost no patients in the hospital. I get that it's probably down to budgets being lower, so hopefully this season they will give them a few dollars more to make the hospital feel more real like in the first eight seasons.

- What's going on outside of the hospital? It made absolute sense for the first season back that we would only get a small glimpse of life outside the hospital. After all, the show is called Scrubs. But at the same time, it feels strange how little we hear about or see that all of our main characters have kids. The originals how spent a lot of time in JD & Turk (later Carla's) apartment. I presume Turk and Carla no longer live there, but it would be cool to see what's going on in their lives. When are we going to see JD's son Sam or JD and Elliot's kid(s?). and more than just a small glance at Turk's girls.

All of these are obviously purely my own opinion, you may disagree vehemently. Either way, even if they don't do literally any of these things, I'm sure we will all enjoy the next season.

Why didn't any of the characters from Scrubs ever think about abortion?

0 Upvotes

Two prime examples here: Kim and JD (I know it's brought up, but more of a side note) and Dr. Cox and Jordan (their second kid specifically).

Unless I missed something, I feel like this was something that was never brought up. All of the doctors here are pretty progressive for their fields (especially for TV doctors at that time), but abortion never came up once for their unexpected pregnancies.

And, yes, I get that the show aired in the mid-2000s, but I feel like it would have been more than an appropriate time to address that. And yes, I also understand that a prime time TV show probably couldn't have doctors discussing abortion!

This show had gay (Todd), bisexual (Todd), and characters every way in between (Todd) - while showing a pretty realistic view of medical practice at the time. Just seems odd that abortion wasn't ever, seriously discussed.

Discussion Watching the show for the first time. I kind of hate JD?????

0 Upvotes

Especially the way he treats his brother. He’s so self-centered and egotistical??? It’d be one thing if the show was telling me I should dislike him, but he’s supposedly “learning a lesson” by the end of each episode; still, some of his actions seem straight-up irredeemable. Anyone else feel that way?

Discussion Why get rid of all the East Asian

0 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong I’m not calling the show racist but they seem to get rid of all the Asian characters. I think the chief surgeon in the first two seasons was. Dr. Wen he disappeared without a trace now they are telling us. Dr. Park is not returning and there was a guy that did urinalysis just stopped appearing one day.
