You Still Have To Try, Though.
Jul. 13th, 2019 09:37 amI'm now in season four of Scrubs! (I didn't post much about season three, but 'My Screw Up', it turns out, still wrecks me just as badly as it did when I was seventeen. I was genuinely slightly afraid of reaching it on this rewatch, and then I spent the entire episode internally going 'nooooooooo'.)
'My Last Chance' is a cracking episode. Jordan taking the most intense delight in how much Dr Cox hates the paramedic he's working with might be my favourite part, although it has to contend against the janitor offering to give JD a lift and dumping him in the middle of nowhere.
JD: What are you doing??
Janitor: It's been four years! How do you not get how this works?
I'm enjoying Dr Cox and Jordan's fucked-up relationship more than I did as a teenager. At one point Jordan gets Dr Cox to do something by threatening to 'stop having sex with you and start ~~making love~~ to you'. It's also surprisingly accommodating to my many other Dr Cox ships:
Jordan: Uh, Per, is making out with a stranger cheating?
Dr Cox: Technically not if it's under ten seconds, dear.
Speaking of my other Dr Cox ships: in 'My Female Trouble', Jordan tells Elliot that Dr Cox 'told me that you don't need him as much anymore, and it annoys the hell out of him.' I am so delighted by the revelation that Dr Cox dwells on Elliot when she's not there. ('I know I'm in your head,' Elliot tells him later in the episode.)
I really love all the character dynamics in this show! They're so well drawn! I've been having a bunch of feelings about how intensely JD and Turk love each other.
Episode 4.18, 'My Roommates', made me slightly emotional. Turk and Carla kick JD out of the flat, and then they realise they miss him and value the things he did around the place and they ask him to come back! As a contentedly single person who considers 'living with close friends' a plan for my life rather than a stopgap measure, it's nice to see a storyline that depicts living with friends as a valuable thing in itself, rather than just something to be endured until you settle down with a romantic partner.
And then there's the plotline where JD and Carla drunkenly kiss, and then JD kisses Turk to demonstrate that it wasn't a big deal, and suddenly I think I'm really shipping JD/Turk/Carla? Suddenly I am all about this trio and I have no idea how it never occurred to me before. I think I might need to write fanfiction? Possibly in which they slowly realise that they are absolutely in a three-way relationship already.
