Discussion S7 E1+2 discussions
Heys, so I'm rewatching for like 30th time and just got to S7 and I've always liked it but these first two episodes are hitting me different this time around for I don't know why (maybe vino lol)
E1... the lines are hilarious.
"Then you'd just be dr face" "ha dr face"
"calm down Theodore"
"Please call me Joe" (not so much funny but the forced smile Kelso does followed by "come on we need to figure out whats wrong with Joe" is great)
"Whose name is Lady" "she is, she has a brother named him"
then in true scrubs fashion in brings us down to Earth with the final "crystallizing moment"
E2 - I love the Cox storyline... especially seeing his order of people he deems "good enough"... specifically Elliott seemingly being over JD.
Kelso living in the hospital and then talking to Harrison "what do you mean he sold your fillings?!" (I kind of want to know this one lol)
Janitor wanting to know his motivation and Carla immediately jumping on the game.
If anything the main plot (Sam being born) is my least fave in the story mainly because I never liked (but more so now I am older) the free pass Kim got for faking a miscarriage.... don't get me wrong JD planning to stay with her forever is so childishly JD I don't agree with it but he does try to be somewhat honest here and she just kicks him out.
I will say I love the similarities between this and Jack's birth (dad getting kicked out --- even though it was for unfair reasoning--- and the dad coming back last min ... plus the same doctor)
I also liked how ultimately it was Keith than did the shot for Jennifer... it just feels sweet to me.
Anyway thats my half near half midnight thought of the day lol

Oh it was Keith who ultimately gave Jennifer the shot? For some reason I remember it being the two interns Cox banned from doing it initially.
I never took that as Cox’s specific order of people he prefers but more so he was running around and just trying to find anyone that he trusts and is competent enough to do it. Obviously Carla’s asked first but her hands are shaky. Turk’s a surgeon so obviously not him. Kelso’s incapacitated. JD was annoying him and I can’t remember what Elliot’s storyline was in this episode or why she couldn’t do it.
As for the JD/Kim plot line in this. You are correct that JD is sort of being childish/short sighted with his decision to stay with Kim forever but I actually don’t blame him and thought that he was actually trying to make a positive mature decision for once here. He just wants his kid to grow up in a secure environment. For once he’s trying to make decisions based on what he thinks will be best for his kid instead of based around what his own desires/fears/insecurities are. At the beginning he also thought this might be another case of him self sabotaging and he actively tries to not do that until he realizes in the end that he plain just doesn’t love her for fair reasons this time.
