tell me a story, game!

[solo_sword]

So with the new kids coming in and showing off their shiny new fandoms, I'm curious.

How'd you get into your canon?

Did you just pick it up one day and found yourself unable to put it down, or did someone (maybe from this game) drag you into it? How long have you been into it? Was there any one thing or character that hooked you on it? This is your chance to wax nostalgic and go on about what made your canon so cool for you. If there's a story behind it, tell us! And if there's not... tell us anyway!

Ohh, man. My love affair with Scrubs began when the pilot aired on Dutch TV in what must have been... 2002 or 2003 or something. I watched it religiously for several seasons because it was so much fun. Then, like many people before me, I dropped it like a rock when it got bad around season 5 or 6. Didn't look back to it.

I ran across the first episode of season 9 while surfing a questionably legal TV episodes site *cough* and wound up slightly confused by the image they used, which barely showed any of the old cast. Turned out they'd replaced most of them with new characters for the 9th season. I actually remember complaining to someone - might have been flowering_mind - about the change ,and how it absolutely had to be horrible.

... Naturally, I let curiosity get the best of me about just how horrible it would be. As a result, I saw Drew and Denise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3EN5kQb4Q4) in action for the first time, totally OTP'ed them, and got back into the groove of watching Scrubs every week.

Yeah, 'Med School' wasn't the best Scrubs had ever done, but I had totally fallen for Denise and Drew. I went back, rewatched the eighth season - mostly for Denise - and kind of went back to adsfjdsfkaj YES-land. And that's it. Denise saved Scrubs for me. (It astounds me, watching season 1 episodes, how much this show has changed with time. It's like watching a new era slowly forming on your TV)

My boyfriend has a complete Scrubs adoration going on, and every few months he'll literally work his way through the entire thing with barely a break.

As such, I'm pretty sure I've seen EVERY EPISODE EVER, MULTIPLE TIMES. Including the not so great later seasons. Or it feels like it anyway. I do love it! Just... not in such large doses as I seem to get it.

... yeah, Scrubs overload will KILL YOUR BRAIN. Some of the later seasons got good again, but I never manage more than five episodes in one setting before I need a break.

I actually like the latter seasons of Scrubs better than the first few (like when Elliot was with Keith seasons). I can't stand JD and Elliot together so watching all that crap made me want to die.

Oh, man. I was SO HAPPY when they finally went AHAHAHA okay SERIOUSLY JD/ELLIOT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN PERMANENTLY. So happy.

And then they had to go and ruin it.

Denise/Drew is pretty much OTP of awesome, though.

[life_inshadow]

Hush, some of us like JD/Elliot. It keeps them from getting dysfunction all over perfectly nice other people.

But I was so relieved a show was finally willing to drop the will-they-won't-they between the male and female leads. SIGH.

Of course, that never stopped the writers from writing either of them as douchebags in their other ships, which yes, also makes me sigh.

...

*ships Drew and Denise some ten times harder some more*

And this is the part where I get incredibly geeky and tell you the original plan was for JD and Elliot to hook exactly once a season and realize it was a horrible idea every time.

They lost the plot on that one, yes. But by that time, they'd both been such douches to other people that I was fine with them being together. (I also liked that they were kind of both equally crazy, albeit in different ways. So many TV relationships are straight guy/wacky one.)
