Continuity: Dr. Kelso is back as Chief of Medicine, without explanation, although he quit in episode 7.9, and did not return in 7.10. All episodes thus far took place in linear sequence, and all flashbacks were clearly marked as such; this change in order of episodes could be the result of the writers' strike and that only episodes shot prior to the strike were aired as part of season seven.

Ohhh Brother

First let me start out by saying that I am huge Scrubs fan. I have enjoyed all of the creative ways that they have done every episode.

The creativity of the show and the writing is what always had me as a huge fan. Then this episode came. What a joke...not sure if this was an attempt to 'jump a shark', but they came very close. I usually can tell myself that 'Hey this is just a television show', but in this one we had Kelso back. They could have done so much more with him being gone. I understand that this was supposed to be the 'new' season finale, but wouldn't it have made more sense to have Kelso quitting on the last episode and having Cox the new director in the first episode of the next season. I know that has been up in the air, but apparently there is now suppose to be at least a few episodes for a season 8.

To me this episode just made the writers strike a joke...I mean they had ALL this time off and THIS is what they came up with...I found it a very disappointing episode.
