Our Histories – Scrubs s09e04

December 18, 2009

     While I never tire of funny Turk and JD stories, it seems like I’ve seen part of this episode before (Back in Season 1 with, My Old Lady, and last season with My Last Words). I guess with a 9 year old show it’s hard not to repeat stories. In fact I think this story of a dying patient didn’t have anywhere near the feel of the previously mentioned two. Whether that’s because it’s harder to do with 4 people versus 1 or 2 or because it was rushed, I dunno. While I’m on things that I’m still not keen on, I still don’t know about the new version of the theme song by WAZ. Thoughts?

    With that being said, what was nice was some character development from the new students. Finally, we get to see Cole (Dave Franco) finally show a side of himself other than being a jerk. Which everyone recognizes, as seen by Denise and Dr. Cox’s small talks about Cole. Maya (Nicky Whelan), finally got to say a few words but still all we know about her so far is that she is hot and Australian… not that that is bad, just makes you wonder if she will be in the show for the long run. The best moment for me was when Drew had a “Dr. Cox moment” at the end with Lucy. “Atta Girl”

    Ted.  Ted is always funny. Whether it be talking like Eeyore, singing, or having epic moments, like his departure. He does it so well, and while I’m not sure his goodbye was necessary in this season, it’s always nice to see him and Gooch. The Final Countdown played by Gooch, especially being referenced earlier by Cole, was a perfect finishing touch.

    The JD and Turk story worked really well, mainly because I don’t think we have seen them really struggle with getting older, and Dr. Cox played such a integral part in being there for that. I still want a Bro-a-palooza shirt though and I’ll never quit wearing ironic t-shirts.

     Sorry about the lateness of the review. Scrubs comes on on my volleyball night so I’ll try to do better. Past that, how does everyone else feel?

• Final Countdown by Europe (Cole sings it during Final interview & Gooch plays on the ukulele as Ted leaves for good)
• Coexist (Pat & Jiam Radio Remix) (Turk and JD finish a dance in The Muc club)
• Keep Talking by Kurt Farquhar (Dr. Kelso says goodbye to Ted & Gooch)
• For Your Love by Marching Band (Cox shows off his new screen saver, everybody embraces truth)

Quotes:

Lucy: I think we all need to let loose and in my case, let Lucy…

Kelso: Theodore, I always assumed that someday we would just find you dead in your office.
Ted:  Yea, that was the dream.

Gooch: We’ve written a song for every state.
Dr. Cox:  I’m sure I’ll hear all of them when I die and go to hell.

Ted: It’s too late sire, I’ve already taped it.
Gooch:  Ted Buckland.
Ted (talking about Kelso): He brings it out in me.

Dr. Cox: Now you are the host of this party and to some extent the voice of your generation, while I sadly acknowledge that heralds the coming apocalypse, I do value your opinion on one thing in particular.
Cole: Wow. You’re like Shakespeare yo.
Dr. Cox: I am. I am like Shakespeare yo.

JD:  Sometimes reality takes the form of a kick to the head.

Drew (to Lucy): Are you choosing to smile and ignore the insult because he called you hot stuff? Atta girl.

Ted: Well honey…play me out.

Greatest Moments:

• JD’s speech from Fame and the hallways acknowledgement with Lucy
• Dr. Cox falling through the ceiling, as a result of escaping Ted & Gooch’s 50 states songs.
• …the songs for each of the 50 states…
• Cox & Cole interaction…they work so well together. “Where’s the jackass?”
• Drew’s Dr. Cox moment with Lucy was amazing. I really like Drew as a character.
• Ted’s exit.
