Scrubs: My Soul on Fire: Part 1 (2009)
Season 8, Episode 14
2/10
Suspension of belief
11 March 2024
And so the descent of Scrubs continues, but this episode seems to have a metaphorical anvil attached to it.

We are being asked to believe that practically the most indispensable members of staff can all feasibly have the same time off work and all within 3 days' notice?

There is no season arc for any of the characters. Their history is mostly erased. Turk and Carla's kid is still barely non-existent and the sudden news of a new baby on the way has seemingly fizzled out.

Dr Cox has zero funny lines and is now surplus to requirements since become Chief of Medicine.

Ted used to be a sad character that made the viewer feel for him but now his whole purpose is to just shout his unfunny lines.

The show has become nothing more than a huge cringefest that continues to limp on embarrassingly.

One could say that the whole point of this location choice is just to show off the actors' physiques in beachwear to try and attract the lowest possible denominator of viewer.

You wouldn't be wrong.
