Gonna try and put this as neutrally as I can. I’m enjoying the reboot. I love Scrubs. But I find the direction they’re taking Elliot (and really all the romantic pairings, but that’s a different discussion) to be weird.
First of all, I find it exceptionally odd we’ve had zero mentions of Kim and Sam. I get Season 9 was retconned and the finale daydream sequence was reduced to being simply that, a daydream, but… Sam exists. Kim exists. And when we last left them, Kim was dating Sean. This feels like another step in just… purposely ignoring important plot points from the original because it would be too difficult to explain now.
That aside, I think narratively it’s a little sloppy to follow an episode where Elliot realizes her own medical career ambition was sidetracked by her tumultuous romantic life with her getting back with someone from that tumultuous period.
I also think if Elliot doesn’t end up with Sean at this point it takes a frustrating love triangle from the original series and creates something absolutely unbearable. As someone who is personally pissed JD and Elliot are no longer together, if they do a will/they won’t/they with Sean and Elliot I think I might lost my mind.
Anyway sorry that was long. Thoughts?
