oyceterI have finished Scrubs S3! I am filled with love for the show, although tempered a little, because I didn't like some of the season arcs. The show's basically been doing a sort of will-they-won't-they with JD and Elliott since day one, and it's finally gotten annoying. Before, it would just sort of be in the background, but this season, I felt that they wrote Elliott into situations just to angst JD and cause more tension. The final twist of the season had me totally rolling my eyes, and for the first time, I ended up really wanting to slap JD. And I love JD!
It got so bad that they even had meta jokes about Ross and Rachel of Friends.
Anyhow, I am officially irritated at the writers for pulling this on me, because one of the things that I had liked so much about the show was that they didn't really do much of a "Will they? Won't they? Let's just let stuff slip out during sweeps!" Thankfully, the other couples on the show are normal. And Turk and Carla continue to make me happy!
I didn't much like Carla before -- I didn't dislike her, but there wasn't really anything about her that grabbed me. But now I really like her. I think it was the moments of neuroticism, because all the other times she seemed so together and in charge, even when she was freaking out. I like seeing her silly side too. I am, however, sad that there wasn't quite as much silly-Elliott, thanks to the whole romantic interest thing. Sigh. They turned her from Elliott into The Girl!
But! I am happy that Dr. Cox and Jordan are still working out! Yes, I am embarrassingly shipper-y in this regard, but I just like that they've got history and are older and dealing with child-rearing and all that stuff. And I like that Dr. Cox feels all odd if he can't fight with her. And snark!
Also, I felt like they just threw Sean in to have Elliott date a non-JD person, which again... irritating! So basically JD acts like a total jerk for many, many episoes! And I was ok with this, because at least he was somewhat funny. And then they pulled the whole "I don't love her!" which was really the last straw. Ugh. Here's hoping S4 will be better...
