    Did not get much laughs in tonight on Scrubs, at least not the way like the last couple of episodes made me laugh. Actually, I don't think I laughed once while watching this episode. And since the main focus of the show is comedy, it's not such a great thing, to not be able to laugh while watching a sitcom.

    Kudos on the eventful and very surprising ending, but everything else relating Elliot's old sorority sister, and JD. It was a bit cheesy, and over the top, especially for a plot so insignificant. JD spreads a rumor because he misses Elliot, big deal. It was a nice JD & Elliot moment near the end which we haven't seen in a while, but I just felt they should have been connecting based on something more significant than Elliot's sorority sister coming in to to town.

    I liked Turk's plot, a lot actually. Something they haven't discussed on this show, which is very common in hospitals today: Hypochondriacs. People who always think that they're sick. We haven't seen much Cox & Turk bonding, so it was nice to watch, and it had definitely some good interactions.

    Eventful and unexpected endings, something that Scrubs has been really good lately. Kieth proposes to Elliot, Turk tricks Dr. Cox and ends up getting the good surgeries. Overall, good for the eventful ending, but thumbs down on not being that funny this time around. Fair episode.moreless

    It's an ok episode. I mean, I've been very disappointed by this season's of Scrubs. There were a few episodes (like the musical) that were good, but nothing like the first few seasons. Scrubs is about inane humor that should entertain everyone, but the entertainment is pretty much gone. Keri Russell's appearance did nothing for the show. It's just all very disappointing. That's all I can say about it. It is big that Elliot is possibly getting engaged to Keith, but whatever. Yippee. And I want to know something about JD's baby. There has got to be some development on that.moreless

    Somehow I had lost fate on the show. I don't know... maybe the season didn't start the way I expected. I even stoped watching the show for a while but how glad I am that I let it rest and grow up on me. The scene where JD tries to leave Elliot and her friend at the bar is probably one of the most funny ones in scurbs history. That said the Elliot-JD story is becoming so interesting. We'll have to see what acuatlly happens with Kim and the baby. Just a few episodes left... and will season 7 be happening?moreless

    Wow, this episode was totally awesome. When Melody and Elliot looked at J.D. for that period of time I almost fell down laughing. The story also winds itself back again to the original classic Scrubs. We don't venture off with Livern dying, or anything else. This episode actually stuck to the plot. It was also a great way to introduce Melody, since she is J.D.'s new girlfriend. When Melody and Elliot were jumping up and down together because they were so happy, the part where they screamed was extremely hilarious! Oh my god, the comedy there was exactly perfect. Finished!moreless

    The show started with Keith leaving Elliot and the Hospital for a couple of days. To be honest im not a massive fan of Keith so I was excited about what would happen without him and Elliot. But I am now a great fan of Lloyd the delivery man who played an ever-more inclusive part in Scrubs, at this rate he will be a main character. Keri Russell starred as Melody, Elliot's sorority sister.

    The tornado scene was my favourite because of the sheer action and special effects. This was closely followed by the "$100" scene, it was amazingly awkward and embarrassing. Other great parts included the "Grillface" scene and the "Ghost who hates spills" scene. Overall I thought the show was nicely carved with various funny moments thrown in.moreless

    • Lloyd: Were we in an air band together? Turk: I don't know. Lloyd: (Drums the air) I think we were. Lloyd reminds us of episode 5x09: "My Half-acre" where Turk, the Janitor, Ted and himself were in an air band. Edit
    • Dr. Cox says Dr. Mickhead is a surgeon, even though he is a Medical Doctor, as is stated in "My Lucky Charm". However, in "My White Whale" it is presumed that Dr. Mickhead is in fact surgical. Edit

    • Carla: What the hell are you doing? Dr. Cox: I'm reading Mr. Gertner's chart, but if you'd like me to be more specific, I'm also standing, breathing, thinking and now talking, which is actually preventing me from what I was originally trying to do. Edit
    • Turk: How come you don't ever give me any of the good surgeries? I could do a bypass like... (imitates slicing a patient) Done! Dr. Cox: Now, Gumball, that's hardly the point. The older surgical attendings around here are warriors. Hell, if I screw with Mickhead, he'll send me every bowel obstruction he gets. You, on the other hand, you're just not formidable enough to have ever earned my respect. I don't even know why I'm speaking with you. In fact, I'm going to stop talking right in the middle of whatever I'm... Edit
    • Dr. Cox: I've convinced young Lloyd in there that the arm pain that he thought was a heart attack is actually just what, Lloyd? Lloyd: Arm pain, Perry. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Boy's Life: When J.D. is trying to cheer up Elliot in the Cafeteria he says he got his Spider-Man goggles from "Boy's Life". "Boy's Life" is the magazine made by the BSA (Boy Scouts of America), sent out to Cub Scouts around the U.S. Edit
    • Happy Days: Melody hits the juke box with her elbow to make it start playing again. In her happiness, she says "hey, I'm the Fonz." This is a reference to Happy Days, in which Arthur Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler), called "The Fonz", would do the same thing to a juke box to make it work. Edit
    • Twister: As Melody and Elliot blow Turk and J.D. through the hallway with their excited breaths, a cow goes flying by. This is similar to the movie "Twister" in which a cow, blown by a tornado, flies in front of a truck. Edit
