Mosley nicely positions Drew in that role of mentor with Lucy and the other med students without entirely disassociating himself from being Cox’s young apprentice, and there’s a controlled unease there which sells the character being trapped in the middle but sort of liking it that way, at the end of the day.Īnd while it had almost no content, the interns’ scrambling in his absence was almost entirely saved by the greatness of Dave Franco. But even though the moral was clear before the story really even began, Michael Mosley remains the best of the new interns, and his rapport with McGinley makes for some great scenes that really strike at the heart of what the show is about. As soon as Cox gave Drew his project, you knew that it flew in the face of what he actually believed in – we watched this show for nine seasons, so we know that beneath his harsh exterior is someone who wants to help young doctors and who just can’t help himself. Cox, which says a lot considering how predictable it was.
The best story in the episode, by far, was the interaction between Drew and Dr. It wasn’t a terrible episode, but it seems as if the show still struggles when it tries to straddle these two worlds as opposed to capturing the points at which they interact. Turk needing to come to terms with his maturity (instead suggesting he suck it up so the source of his jealousy would keep donating money to the hospital). It’s not that Donald Faison is no longer funny, or that there isn’t a story to be told about the fact that he’s too old to be acting like a Med Student, but the story never really gave him much material to work with, and it never quite connected the dots in terms of making this a story about Dr. While it may be thematically helpful to have all of the stories play into a sense of leadership, to lump Turk in with the med students is problematic in terms of the necessity to exaggerate his character’s response to particular actions. Ultimately, though, I think “Our Dear Leaders” didn’t entirely work because there is a point the Chief of Surgery needs to have moved beyond these types of stories. as both a mentor and a source of comedy, Turk has always been taken somewhat more seriously, which meant that he could be a bit more over the top without losing our respect or the respect of his new Med Students. However, what I always found interesting was how Turk was always capable of better balancing the two: while the show struggled at the start of this season to position J.D. and Turk are not entirely dissimilar characters: they’re best friends, after all, and both have their quirks which make them quite enjoyable to watch in a “look at how immature he can be” sort of way. Mosley looks, sounds and moves so much like McGinley, one expects him to be revealed as Cox’s son in a future episode.J.D. Viewers will be unable to resist comparing the newcomers to the veterans, and Lawrence’s decision to make the youngsters so prickly is risky. Don’t be surprised if Cox’s witchy significant other Jordan (Christa Miller) returns for a visit – she’s co-starring on executive producer Bill Lawrence’s other show, “Cougar Town,” also on ABC. 1 sign taped to his chest.Īlso in the mix: Cole (Dave Franco), a lazy intern who figures to skate by on his family’s wealth, and Denise (Eliza Coupe), another faculty member who behaves like the female version of Cox.Įlliot (Sarah Chalke) and Janitor (Neil Flynn, who now co-stars on ABC’s “The Middle”) drop by for funny cameos.

He’s a one-time med-school dropout who wants to hide in the back of the classroom. Being drafted as Cox’s favorite turns out to be hellish, as Drew (Michael Mosley) discovers. calls him on his bullying, Cox decides to mentor a student. “I generally don’t waste time on people who aren’t going to make it,” Cox tells her.
