The clicky-tops VS twisty bottoms debate: the missing alternative conspiracy

We are being gas-lighted that there are only two options: twisty-bottoms and clicky-tops.

The elephant in the room is the missing option: the plain capped-pens.

Why is the most common configuration of the writing apparatus omitted? What do they know, that they want us to ignore? To what point is BigPen involved? How strong is their grasp on the show's producers?

If you had the choice, what would be you actual preference?

Rewatched Scrubs

Me and my partner just re-watched scrubs. Here is my rankings and a few thoughts!

Season 5- Season 5 is a fantastic mix of serious and comedic, when I think of scrubs I think of this season. Peak Scrubs imo.

Season 3- Season 3 is brillant, the last season before scrubs becomes a full blown comedy. Great moments. The wedding episode is chaotic in all the best ways.

Season 8- Mature, simple, found its footing after some choppy seasons. Fantastic ending.

Season 2- Another great season from early Scrubs, sometimes a lil forgettable but has some amazing moments.

Season 4- Overall great season. The last arc with Turk and Carla is a slog though ans brings it down for me. Especially after we spent all of season 3 building to the wedding.

Season 1- Good first season, a little boring in some parts but it finds its footing very early on.

Season 6- The show starts becoming a weekly generic television show at this point. Some great moments. But Elliot is the worst during this time and the whole experience can be hard to get through. Flashback episodes are the worst and shows that your sitcom is in decline.

Season 7- Weird one, basically an extension of season 6. Didn't have time to grow like the rest of the seasons.

I appreciate them doing something different with the medieval episode but its one of the worst episodes of Scrubs.

What do you think?

What are the most hilarious random comments JD makes upon immediately exiting a fantasy?

For me my top two are:

  1. After the elaborate fantasy JD has about Turk and Carla misplacing their son with a pumpkin and raising the pumpkin only to meet their adult son years later and watch him get hit by a bus - "You're going to be an awful father."
  2. After fantasizing about Turk saying "And prepare for some hot chocolate love" right before trying to kiss him - "STOP IT, I don't have gay jungle fever."

Was Bill Lawrence well off even before he got started in tv?

His ancestor(s) founded Sarah Lawrence College, which is now seen as an elite liberal university. And I recall him talking either on one of the dvd episodes commentaries or Donald and Zach's podcast about how he met Christa, "I was young and single, living in New York City and I saw this beautiful girl (Christa) at a party and so I was talking with her and told her I had just gotten a new apartment and she should come and see it and she did..."

His parents kind of retired to the Bahama's, which is kind of a move if you have some "fuck you" level money and an apartment in NYC hasn't been cheap for decades.

Love Dr. Cox and all, but his lone wolf personality sometimes does get exhausting. Especially when he refuses help from people who only want to help because he deserves it. But mostly because, as a doctor, his entire life is dedicated to helping people.

I know it's supposed to be part of his character, but gets frustrating sometimes. He's smart enough to know how to play the game without compromising his morals. And smart enough to recognize the difference between a handout and earning

I REALLY enjoyed watching Bankfarter OWNing Cox over how he was treating Lindsey and that he actually kind of learned something.

Onto season 4. Why does the show kinda suck now?

So this seems to be an unheard of opinion but, yeah, the title. I don't get it! Everyone says this season is really good, and I LOVED the show beforehand, but it feels a lot different than the previous seasons. It feels a lot more immature, ridiculous things happen for no good reason instead of cutaways, the characters have all become a lot more hollow and one-dimensional, it's not emotional anymore... People kept saying JD's dad's death was a really good arc but it just kinda felt bland to me. Anyone else feel the same way? Does it improve beyond this?

Ben's Sixth Sense

I was just re-watching the first Brendan Fraser episode. I didn't realize that he did that sixth Sense thing twice. Once when we found out he had leukemia and once when he died. And with two different people. It's not a JD fantasy.

Scrubs prequel

They are talking about bringing scrubs back for a season 10; and, from what I understand it will be a continuation however what I'd love to see is a prequel. Scrubs pre JD. This would about Dr Cox and his years before JD got there Carla, Jordan, Laverne and everyone else that was already there in the hospital their story. We would have story lines like Dr cox and Jordans marriage starting to have problems and what's his name private Dr who was Dr coxs friend would of course be one of the characters. Carla trying and failing to get close to the interns except dr.cox all the little tibits fleshed out of things we learned that happened at the hospital before JD Turk and Elliot shows up. What does everyone else wish to see happen if the show comes back?

High Potential

Are you guys watching Judy Reyes playing a police lieutenant in High Potential yet? I’m only two episodes in but I’m hooked. Loving her as the compassionate no nonsense boss she was meant to be!

Elliott’s hair…

I’m watching the show for the first time and I’m on season 3 when Elliott gets this hideous hair cut. It looked good before! Now all I can think about as I watch is how horrible it is and when will it go away??? Like the bangs constantly in her eyes and the choppiness, I just can’t. I think the worst part is it’s supposed to look really good and give her confidence.

Who’d you say the most “normal” person on the show?

So I’ve been rewatching seasons 3 and 4 and I realised even the regular background characters are quirky. Every single one of them. All the love interests, doctors joining in, side characters etc..

I mean, when you watch Office for example, the main cast is a bunch of psychopaths but there are characters that are boring, regular people.

Am I missing any obvious examples?

Looking for the music used in S4 Ep 9 (when Doug gets bagged up)

Hey everyone! Have looked for this on several sites and tried to Shazam it - don’t think it exists as a song, maybe just a sample, but thought I’d try here anyway. Does anyone know the name of the music which starts playing when they bag up Doug in the biohazard bag?

This latest rewatch got me in the feels...

I am in the middle of a rewatch and it has been a while. I got to the episode where Dr. Cox's friend comes to visit and he ends up figuring out his kid has autism. This is the first time watching since I had my twins who are both on the spectrum. Just seeing the dad reacting and Cox just being there to listen, I don't know, I got really emotional. It's crazy I show I've seen a hundred times can still run me through the ringer sometimes.

My mirror image (season 6 ep 1) has one of the best scenes in the whole series for me when JD is explaining to Turk, Carla and Elliot about getting Kim pregnant. 😂😂😂

Turks laugh and him saying “she like a the dirty talk” always cracks me up 😂😂 plus jd saying the dirty talk gets him going as well
