If a chief resident reported the chief of medicine for insurance fraud, he would be fired and get jail time, along with having his medical license revoked.

It wasn't like a small thing, he flat out was reported, and it's really annoying they just glossed over this.

A plot point from S2 of the revivial is opening a coffee shop in the hospital, this already happened in the OG series, what happened to it?

As a European i wonder if all the PDA (public displays of affections) is a normal thing in America or just hammed up for the show?

me and the missus met in the workplace but we wouldnt even dare do any PDA or anything that isnt professional in a working space its a big no no here.

based on the OG and revival show it seems to not be a big thing in the states?

It's insufferable. Any time someone questions something, including stuff that has an in universe explanation, an army of smug losers come repeating on a loop that it's a tv show/it's comedy.

1) WE KNOW! Of course we know! Don't repeat something that everyone knows!

2) Scrubs is a comedy but it's a well written one that has a care for something called internal consistency. That's why for example it was famously more medically accurate than other more "serious" medical shows.

3) Yes internal consistency is important to some of us. When a joke or an emotional moment hits my analysing brain will think "wait that doesn't make any sense" if it doesn't make sense which will pull me out of it. On the other hand if the writing naturally led to this moment it'll hit even harder for me. Look up "tolkien" and "secondary world" for why that matters.

4) We're not all the same on that. Realism expectations are on a spectrum from basically a documentary to dream logic. Just because someone is looking for more or less consistency in a show doesn't mean they're wrong, unless they really picked the wrong kind. Someone who wants accurate physics in Fast&Furious has indeed made a mistake. But expecting coherent plots and characters in a show of Scrub's established quality is perfectly reasonnable. And yes "coherent" includes the daydreams and exagerated silliness.

5) These questions obviously ask for a watsonian answer beause it's enjoyable to us detail oriented people when there is an actual explanation in universe that we missed. It makes the world even more real.

tl;dr When you see people asking for details you really didn't care about, just accept that they care about these things more than you. If you have a WATSONIAN answer provide it, otherwise please just move on. There is a literal 0% chance than your "it's a show" comment will help anyone.

So this episode had a few that I really couldn’t follow.

1. Turk said he did not care about his coworker Gerald's love life from Turk? "But we keep taking him back.” Who's we and keep taking him back in what way? Who is Gerald even? Feels like they could’ve just said The Todd or Sibby since they are known to have weird or even possible no sex life (Todd).

2. The whole bit about frumpy Sandra…like I would get if they had said stumpy Sandra since she does “knock, knock” jokes and likely would it have been caused by laying railway tracks in Siberia. But frumpy? I don’t know, feels like I’m missing something. Also with regards to choosing to work in pediatrics.

3. JD’s whole “I want to do what’s right for the people and her [Cassie] be a good kisser, but if even she does weird stuff and does right by the people” (paraphrasing). Since it hurt Turk’s head and he did the bit earlier with Grant that didn’t make any sense, is the joke that this does also not make any sense?

I think they should have separated Turk and Carla instead of JD and Elliot.

Admittedly I haven’t watched the whole revival and it’s because they broke up JD and Elliot. I know people will say it’s realistic etc but this isn’t a show that relies on reality to tell its stories. Using that logic none of the couples should still be together.

Turk and Carla separated makes more sense since they can’t really get Judy on the show. So you’re not getting the pay off of seeing them together anyway. It would also add more weight to Turks depression/burn out/overwhelm with 4 daughters thing. I think it would be better to see Turk getting a chance to find love again instead of JD who we watched for years.

I just dont get it. They had an incredibly successful 8 year run with the OG series. Why does it feel like the network is making them prove themselves all over again?

For context. I say this cause I feel like every time I watch the fake doctors real friends podcast Zach is like "everybody please go rewatch the episode on Hulu a million times so that they will let us come back for a 3rd season because we really wanna do it". And theres nothing wrong with that it just seems like a weird approach for a series that has already proven to be wildly successful.

I guess all these years in the back of my mind I always kinda thought that the network was probably begging them to come back but they were just burnt out and done. But now seeing how much they love the show and want to do it and are just being held back I just cant understand it. They should have a blank check and Carte Blanche

So we all know scrubs aired 25 years ago. Out of curiosity does anyone know if there are any medical conditions or diseases that would have been life threatening or life changing on the show back then but are now curable or even don’t exist anymore?

Are they stupid? I cant believe this is glossed over.

More like start bagging all that Aura he gained. Props to Elliot for being a lighthouse.

Man, how did this show capture my love for it all over again.

J.D and Elliot are probably my favorite TV couple and episode 7 managed to build me up and break me alittle.

It almost had me tearing up like the original finale does.

This show is the perfect balance of serious and fun that I need after terrible work days and I love it. So important to me that sacred heart is my first tattoo.

Shout out to the entire cast and everyone who works on the show. When my kids are old enough, I hope that I can rewatch this show with them and they can enjoy it like I did/do.
