Dorkage: House 4x10 It's A Wonderful Lie

Jan 31, 2008 01:47

Curses to LJ and Firefox for killing my original draft, WTF happened!

Anyway. NEW HOUSE YES? NEW HOUSE, YES. WE HAVE WAITED TOO LONG. I HAVE MISSED YOU, LISA.

Not as awesome an episode as I'd been hoping for, but some really excellent, cute moments all the same...

- Okay, so I have to admit that, in terms of some of the great stuff we've had in Season ( Read more... )

It really is jarring when you watch the earlier episodes, especially season one, and you compare how much time is spent on the medicine. Obviously, I love the House/Cuddy action and wouldn't want to trade it for anything, but the medical cases are just hard to follow now. They don't really give you much to work with. This was most glaring with the 40 fellowship candidates. The POTW and the clinic POTW (did we really need her to have MORE freakin' airtime than CUDDY??) were all very WTF. Though I did love House's interaction with the POTW's kid.

Agreed on the better of Wilson's personalities in this episode!

D2 -- I believe that was the tagline for the second Mighty Ducks movie? How about Ducklings Lite? *eye roll* 13 = Cameron at her most annoying, in this episode ( ... )

I agree that everything needs more Cuddy. But I love the medicine and actually could go for more weird medical cases with lots of details that are just WTF, because I'm a nerd.

Actually, more medicine AND more Cuddy, please. And if we can throw in Wilson, CTB, and the Ridiculously Old Fraud, that'd be great too.

There was definitely more time devoted to the case -- still a little distant and lacking in details. But at least we got some home invasion and some good old fashioned deception. I think now that they decided on which of the new ducklings are staying, they'll bring back some of the medicine.

So far this season, I think "Ugly" has been the best at balancing screentime for the characters. Definitely not enough Cuddy. It doesn't look like there will be much next week, either.

Wilson, CTB, ROF -- and I gotta add Chase to the mix. I love me some Chase!

Ugly has been my favourite episode this season too. I just rewatched the first two seasons, and I miss the dynamics of those episodes, but what are you gonna do. I'm warming to the new Ducklings (Ducklings Lite?) - even 13 because with Cameron being almost tolerable, I need another hot boring chick to hate.

Over the summer, I re-watched the first two seasons. I started s1 for my_vicodin recaps, and then Fox has been airing older episodes from the first two seasons since the writers strike really hit. I love how there was room for everything -- the medicine, great interaction with Wilson and Cuddy, between the ducklings, and so on ( ... )

I was going to suggest platypus but then I was, like, YOU MORON THAT ISN'T EVEN A BIRD.

I can't stand Taub. Seriously. I've warmed up to Foreman after rewatching the old episodes. He really didn't become an ass until S3, eh?

jukebox_grad January 30 2008, 20:43:44 UTC

Platypus is good, too! The duckbill, the webbed feet. Should definitely be considered, I think.

Taub is actually my favorite of the bunch. For now, anyway. Foreman was kind of an ass towards the end of s2. I mean, sure, I think we'd all like to stab Cameron with an infected syringe, but he was still kind of a dick to Cuddy. But yeah, for the most part, his assiness set in during s3. I LIKE him when I watch the earlier seasons. Now he just pisses me off. He was tolerable last night, though.

you know we share the Foreman hate, we do. They massacred him in Season 3 with the complete assholiness of Foreman. MASSACRED. He's better this season too. And still the only one of the original ducklings whose return to PPTH ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. Much as I love Chase, I'm still amazed he agreed to come back. Why, because Cam said they had to because she's addicted to House? SHUT UP CAMERON.

HAI I LOVE HOW OUR BRAINS ARE IN SYNC. Couldn't do this comment justice until I got up, so here I am now.

The medicine > is definitely getting short shrift now. They're paying more attention to House's shenanigans and whatnot, so I spend a lot of the time going WTF and moving on, when before you could actually get that moment that dawns on you and you go, fuck, House is smart. Now we're just supposed to assume it, you know ( ... )
