[[WMG: JD didn't let Kylie win at arm-wrestling]]

In one scene, JD's relationship with his new girlfriend Kylie is contrasted with Turk's relationship with Carla, which was already a few years old. Both couple were arm-wresting and JD "let's" Kylie win to look kinder and compliment her for being strong, while Turk mercilessly beats Carla and brags, saying "This is what happens when you mess with the warrior!"

But, when you consider JD's lack of physical strength in the rest of the show, it doesn't seem likely at all that he'd be able to beat her even if he wanted, so who's to say he didn't? Maybe he was beaten fair and square, and he just didn't act like a sore loser to save face.

Meanwhile, Turk's victory over Carla wasn't as breezy as he made it look, which is why he was bragging so much. In fact, that's what Carla expected - she'd have lost some respect for the competitive Turk if he just let her win.

[[WMG: Dr. Cox killed Dr. Mickhead's wife and framed him for it]]

Perry has expressed violent tendencies numerous times; making violent threats when agitated, expressing desire to have Jordan die and having a fantasy of killing Elliot. However, he couldn't kill either of these two women because he loves the former and respects the latter. So he went for the best option and killed someone he had no feelings for, while framing Mickhead whom he also dislikes for sleeping with Jordan.

Think about it. She's a [[CompositeCharacter]] that has many of the traits of both JD and Elliot. She is prone to [[ImagineSpots]], is overly nuerotic and screwed up with relationships. Why else does she get along so well with the two of them and always runs to them for help. She decided to be a doctor too and after finishing med school decided to intern when her parents were still young doctors. Note also that she calls Kelso's idea's about medicine dated.

Ignoring the sitcom staple of having a guy in the same job as the protagonist and failing miserably, the is no way Kelso would settled any legal actions against the Hospital for an intern that inept. What was really happening is that he was knowledgeable enough to look like he was trying to be a better doctor, while Kelso stuck him with patients that were dying anyway and draining hospital resource. The hospital drags it out for as long as they can(even making him repeat a year) but it had to end sometime. Luckily all that experience with causes of death trained him to be an excellent coroner. And because they know Doug is not bright enough to catch on, they never had a gurney for the various bodies he totes around the just say they do, then when they chase him off to go collect a body they move the gurney back to whoever was using it before their ruse.

In the episode "My Cuz," there's a one-off joke that Snoop and Beardface were "wiener cousins" through Nurse Roberts. A found it a bit disconcerting, because Laverne was married and probably had been for a while, seeing as they had a teenage son -- maybe the thing with Beardface happened before she got married, but she and Snoop couldn't have known each other very long because he was an intern at the beginning of the series. But then I remembered that she was having some marriage troubles with her husband in Season 4. It could very likely have been thanks to Snoop. It happened at the pool party because all of the [[NoodleIncident Noodle Incidents]] happened there.

[[WMG: The Janitor is [[Series/DeadLikeMe a grim reaper]] ]]

That explains why he works at a hospital, because so many of his reaps are patients who died there, and also why he's so vague about his past, because he's a lot older than he looks.

[[WMG: Doug is related to [[Series/MiloMurphysLaw Milo Murphy]]

Much like how Milo deals with disasters on a daily basis, Murphy's Law follows Doug around and causes hazards for him, and that causes the high death rate for his patients, as well as other incidents around Sacred Heart.

[[WMG: The last season didn't actually happen.]]
At least I hope not. It was terrible.
* What do you mean season 8 was excellent I'm so glad they didn't try to tack a 9th season onto a show that had already reached its natural ending point that would be awful



The parallels of the name are obvious, as is the way he gets away with anything and everything. Either the cart of the van is his Tardis. He may actually have a sonic screwdriver, or at least a sonic mop.

[[WMG: Dr. Cox wasn't pissed at J.D. for sleeping with Jordan, just for lying about it]]
Cox asked J.D. if he slept with Jordan in a nonchalant manner. Had J.D. said yes, he'd just shake his head and mock him for falling for her witchcraft.

[[WMG: J.D. is a clueless RealityWarper]]
In the first season, the Janitor really ''was'' a figment of his imagination - something he dreamed up because he felt guilty about putting a penny on the door. J.D.'s powers made him real, slowly enough. At first, only J.D. could see him...then Elliot bumped on him...by the last season, he even had a wife (which was also imagined by J.D. - nobody's real name is Lady).

The power does have a darker side - J.D. didn't like Nick, so he caused him to have a HeroicBSOD. He didn't like Molly, so she basically stopped existing (same thing that happened to the Janitor's previous family). And, after he dumped Dani, he was sick of her, so his powers turned her from a sweet awkward girl into a gross psycho - she ''claims'' she was always that way, just acting nice for him, but she didn't use to smoke (since J.D. commented on how noticeable the taste of nicotine in her mouth was) or be into violent sex. It's also noticeable that she acted nice [[UndercoverWhenAlone even when J.D. wasn't around]].
