Episode Recap: "My Number One Doctor" | Scrubs | 12/7/2007
...And this is the Scrubs we've seen a little too much of, of late...good enough to watch, but only intermittently or fitfully funny, and perhaps not quite seemlessly mixing the frequent tragedy of medical life with the various sorts of comedy offered up.A recap can be pretty quick on this episode, since the A, B, and C plotlines are pretty thin in outline: Elliot faces an ethical dilemma when she learns that one of her private-practice patients, dying of ALS, has landed in the hospital in a suicide attempt; Elliot is unsure as to whether to make the authorities and her patient's home-healthcare nurse aware of this, or to allow the patient to die on her own terms. JD suggests she should tell, for no better reason than that Elliot tends to let such things get under her skin; by episode's end, Elliot has decided to keep her patient's secret, having accidentally let the dying woman know how more effectively to drug herself to death. Meanwhile, JD, having discovered how insanely... read more
Episode Recap: "My Growing Pains" | Scrubs | 11/30/2007
Now, this was the Scrubs we've come to expect...sharp, goofy (but grounded), humane. Very funny, even when (painlessly) lecturing.J.D. hangs out at the nurses' station with Turk...and with his infant son. Turk invites J.D. to play basketball, which J.D. declines, pointing out that his son is strapped to his chest...Turk suggests that he simply won't pass the ball to J.D., and J.D. notes that that would be just like a typical game for them. J.D. also has a brief fantasy about being able to breastfeed his boy, one among several large-breasted lactating male cast members (a tapped-out J.D. allows Kelso to feed the child; J.D. had apparently used most of his own milk in winning a squirting duel with Turk, who then sprays Kelso and J.D. in a sneak attack). Turk is brought up short by Carla, who notes that Turk could be spending time with their daughter, Izzy. Meanwhile, interns are being detailed to follow, at a close distance, a resident known for his short temper, Hooch (a character... read more
Episode Recap: "My Identity Crisis" | Scrubs | 11/16/2007
Well, like a baseball (or beisbol) team, sometimes a great series needs a "rebuilding" season. "My Identity Crisis" still wasn't up to the heights of most previous years of Scrubs, but it was the funniest episode of the season so far and it will do.We begin with a dream sequence; Carla (Judy Reyes) is making out with her husband, Turk (Donald Faison) in a hospital bed at Sacred Heart. Turk pulls out a restraint and binds her wrist to the bedframe, but the prospect of kinky fun is dampened by the sudden appearance of JD (Zach Braff) and then Elliot (Sarah Chalke), who are there to murder Carla, allowing Turk and JD to pal around endlessly and Elliot to steal and raise Carla's daughter, Izzi. What turns out to be the most disturbing aspect of the nightmare for Carla, however, when she awakens, is that its the first dream she remembers having in English, rather than in Spanish. Meanwhile, Cox (John C. McGinley) is informed by his partner Jordan (Christa Miller, too absent of late)... read more
Episode Recap: "My Inconvenient Truth" | Scrubs | 11/9/2007
Well, despite J.D. (Zach Braff) finally being told by nearly everyone he knows that he needs to grow up, and Cox's useful, if revenge-driven, demand that Elliot recognize that she is starving herself dangerously, this was the frothiest episode of the season so far. And yet, while pleasant, it also managed to be the least funny, even given that it was paced like the most like typical Scrubs episodes of past seasons.As part of NBC's "Green Week" stunt, the episode begins with a discussion between hospital lawyer Ted (Sam Lloyd, sadly underused this season till this episode) and the Janitor over Ted's relative eco-friendliness versus the Janitor's tendency to leave his van running all day so that it's air-conditioned for his drive home. Ted shows the Janitor Al Gore's augmented-lecture documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and the latter is inspired to ask Kelso if he can become the ecology officer for the hospital. Assured that it will cost Sacred Heart no money, Kelso agrees, just to... read more
Episode Recap: "My Hard Labor" | Scrubs | 11/2/2007
Another pretty solid episode — still not Scrubs at its comic best, and still at least as much about the serious subtexts of the series as about the blackouts and fantasy sequences.Kim (Elizabeth Banks) is about to give birth, and J.D. (Zach Braff) is ready for everything... except for openly admitting to Kim that he doesn't love her. Meanwhile, Cox (John C. McGinley) looks for someone competent to give his infant daughter a shot, unwilling to give it to her himself for fear that she'll associate him with pain. Carla (Judy Reyes) can't do it,since she's enraged at Turk (Donald Faison) for his stubborn insistence on playing a console video game to its conclusion... or at least for his obliviousness to her need, as great as his, to be something other than a parent sometimes (and, to a much lesser extent, to his obliviousness to her ability to play the game better than either her husband or the Janitor (Neil Flynn). Even Kelso (Ken Jenkins) proves his worth as a parent, while... read more
