A while back, I rather portentously remarked that I had spied what could be a glimmer of genius in House: one element - one persistent theme - that I believe the writers, whatever their flaws, have pursued in a consistent and honest manner. Indeed, I have come to the conclusion that the close of the ( Read more... )

This is definitely silly on my part, but I feel like we non-shippers need a space. This is not intended to be a dig at 'shippers, though - please don't be insulted, 'shippers on my flist ( Read more... )

Previously discussed: the Stacy arc.

In this segment, I tackle Vogler (under the working sub-head: “The Problematic Quest for Moriarty - House and His (Imperfectly Written) Antagonists”):

The fourth season premiere is tonight - and I still have not finished the Epic Essay of Doom for idol_reflection.

I've been reluctant to post this, and thus potentially instigate the wank again, but I've been talking to my mother, who has been in House's position pain-wise for many years, and while she feels for House, she is not so quick to apologize completely for his Vicodin dependence ( Read more... )

You may recall a previous cranky post in which I defended Cameron and declared myself a fan of House&Cameron ampersand. Well. Last night, I was dead from the cute. I went, in a few scenes, from being willing to advocate for H&C to jumping around squealing OMGyesyesYES! To be sure, the show will lose me quickly if this goes beyond good friendship ( Read more... )

Oh, wow, bitchy and heartless much? I so don't get the hate here. I mean, God forbid anyone should show a little human fragility. Let's try to separate the person from the doctor, shall we?
