The Return of the King

SO, here it is. Out of boredom I have decided to use the 'ol LJ once again.
I know this will be great because I accidentally typed in "www.liverjournal.com" on the way here. A very good omen.

Where to begin!?
It has been so long, oh it has.

For the last few days I have been watching a certain show called "the Scrubs", and let me tell you I love it. I didn't just begin watching it a few days ago, I have loved it for quite some time now, but I recently began watching the collection of 'seasons'. Whatever that means.

Some of you, and I can't even imagine who will actually take the time to read my LJz after all this time, may not know "the Scrubs". I shall explain the plot of the first 6 seasons. It is amazing.

SCRUBS




Season 1: The beginning of!

First and foremost, the main character is named J.D., which is short for Jonathan Duckulus. When the show begins he has been a doctor at the whacky Sacred Heart hospital for over 10 years. He is only 24 which confused even me at first! It turns out that when he was 14 he promised the chief of medicine at the hospital that if could resurrect his dead father he would spend the rest of his life working at the hospital! Magically!, the chief of medicine, a mister Bob Kelso, did manage to return life to the corpse and so J.D. was forever bound by his word. Never would he leave the Sacred Heart hospital!




J.D. has become a very bitter and cynical person by the time we see him in the first episode. Through his time at the hospital he had become a master of medicine, but also an angry life-hater who wanted only to abuse those nearest to him (literally, he loved no one). Of course, when he is commanded by his master (what Kelso demands J.D. call him) to train the new and incoming medical students to become doctors, J.D. cannot refuse. That is how J.D. met Turk, Elliot, and Carla! They became interns at the Sacred Heart hospital. Unfortunately they did not know the horrors J.D. would put them through.

On several occasions during their training J.D. hit his students. His assaults were endless and ranged from punches in the kidney to his a "special technique" he invented that he calls "the dead leg". He ravaged all of his students, but one he obviously hated more than others. His treatment of Elliot was too much to be ignored. One day she tried to bring it up with him when they were alone. J.D. did not take kindly to this and forced sex upon her.




It was not act of honor. To quote J.D. "after that shit got real". Elliot went to the hospitals legal council in an attempt to press charges, but the legal council (Ted) was quickly dispatched in a knife fight behind the hospital. With not a single soul to stop him (other than Kelso, but he was on vacation in Tahiti for 4 months), J.D. began to rule the hospital with an iron fist.

He trained all of the female workers in the hospital to be his "hooker whores" and used his violent ways to turn the hospital into a "whorehouse". It was a sight to behold, but a negative scene nonetheless.




Season 2: J.D.'s hard learned lesson.

When Kelso returned he was outraged. He sentenced J.D. to 6 months in the catacombs under the hospital. The season played out very differently than the first. J.D. was only in the first episode. Some say that the networks didn't like his behavior in season 1, but I don't think that was what made the writers choose to banish him temporarily.

Season 3: Welcome Home J.D.

When J.D. came back the series became a smash hit again. The old boring sob stories from most of season 2 were thrown out the window.

J.D. was commanded to immediately apologize to Elliot. This led to J.D. opening up about why he was such a monster before he was catacombed. It turns out that Dr. Cox was his back-from-the-dead father.




It explained everything. Kelso brought his father back from the dead, but he was not the same. The new Dr. Cox had major mental disabilities (I, along with many other fans, did wonder why a doctor that had obvious mental handicaps was always around the hospital during the first two seasons). With his father being head lost and looking forward to only a life of medical slavery J.D. became an abusive monster. In the catacombs he found the error of his ways. He spent two whole episodes on a crusade to right his wrongs. It seemed all would be fine. He even used his mastery of medicine to return the legal council (Ted) to life again! Most importantly, J.D. succeeded where Kelso could not, Ted's brain was scramble free!




This was a thing to celebrate, and celebrate the hospital did, because everyone loved the new J.D. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Kelso did not take kindly to being outdone by his slave, so he conjured forth one of his minions, a hellhound that was bloodthirsty as the sun is bright, to stifle J.D.'s abilities! They called him simply "Janitor"!




Season 3 concludes with the Janitor and J.D. fighting to the death on the hospitals roof. The battle does not end. It is a major cliffhanger!

Season 4: A New Wind Blows! A Wind of Change!

J.D. manages to defeat the Janitor in a duel to the death. He then takes the fight all the way to the top!

Immediately Kelso and J.D. run about the hospital and recruit doctors and patients alike to join their side. Each amassed a formidable force. A large battle ensued, but none died. After hours of fighting a ceasepunch was called. Kelso and J.D. discussed things for quite some time. Neither was happy with what the other had to say. The new J.D. simply accepted his slavery and bastard master, but Kelso was ruthless. To drive his points home he murdered J.D.'s father with his laser eyes.


Dr. Cox's last words were:



J.D. did not think anything was "good in the hood", so he returned to his former hatred for only a moment and destroyed Kelso. J.D. was now the chief of medicine. He accepted the award graciously.




Season 5: To Live It is to Learn It




J.D. was very happy with his position during this season. He marries one of the students he trained, Carla, who was now a full fledged doctor like all of his former students. It was a lighthearted season with amusing humor and witty dialog.

Season 6: The Truth Comes Out!

This is where most say the show got weird.

J.D. awakens in a hospital as a patient. Since he was 14 he was in a coma! It was all a dream! What a twist! None saw it coming!

Surprisingly all the people from his coma dream worked at the hospital and from sitting in a hospital longer than any of them he had actually acquired the knowledge he had in his dream world.

With this knowledge he began his life once again as a doctor.




Season 6 was the most recent. I cannot wait for more!
