Some things worry me deeply and a lot of things confuse me. The Global credit crisis at the moment, snakes people shooting me, those things worry me. Particle acceleration, the universe and how people can keep falling under the spell of X factor, these things deeply deeply confuse me.
However one thing that i never thought would worry and confuse me would be Scrubs. I have watched this programme religiously for years and years, and what i like about it is the completely unpredictable nature of the show, the fact that at any time JD can have the most random thoughts and the storyline can hit absolutely any plot twists. The story line can go from Dr. Cox killing three people and going into a bout of depression to JD getting a DUI, having erectile problems and passing out everytime he has a dump.
Unlike Sitcoms like Friends there hasn't been an omnipresent 'will they wont they' as after four seasons of this with Elliott and JD, the writers, rightly, thought 'no, this is too predicable' and it stopped with a magnificently put together scene where the two of them admit to one another that they no longer have any kind of sexual feelings.
Since the writers strike meant that the seventh season was so fucked up that they ended it with a random fairy tale episode. So rather than making the eighth and last season original they took the plot of friends and made JD and Elliott start a relationship again. Well, its not the same! Ross and Rachel had 10 seasons to mould the back story to their eventual love, this was done in 30 seconds 'me and elliot had been spending more and more time together'. Brilliant, ruined my favourite TV programme.
Why would you ruin the last season, the one which will last in peoples memories for so long, by copying another show. I love Scrubs, but the writers have totally ruined the last season, it doesnt matter what happens in the final episodes, because it is completely FUCKED.
