Dorkage: House 4x10 It's A Wonderful Lie

[ellixian]

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

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.

The Ducklings Lite (we should poll people on the preferred nickname for the new crew; maybe we should choose another bird, call them geese or something -- I might just do that!) feel very similar to the originals. You can see that Taub=Foreman, Kutner=Chase, and 13=Cameron. They went through a lot of hassle and ultimately went for very similar characters. Did they do this on purpose? Are they going with House unconsciously recreating the old setup?

It's probably a very good thing Cameron didn't have any lines in this episode; it might've been even more overkill with all the 13 stuff. I do agree that Cameron's been tolerable -- and that freaks me out a little. ;) I actually like that they've sort of removed Cameron from the confines of doing everything because she luvs House. She's in a relationship with Chase, she's out from under House's wing.

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?

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.
