Last night's House

[kalimyre]

So after three weeks, there was this new House on last night. One day and one room, or something like that. I recorded it and didn't get around to watching it until today, but I noticed a curious lack of general squee on my flist in the interim. I can say now that it is not all that curious after all.

Hee, jinx! We both posted nearly at the same time to agree with kalimyre. I had forgotten, in the wave of crap that came after it, the totally annoying "you owe me" litany from Cuddy. SO LAME OMG. Because a) it's already getting tiresome and b) no, Cuddy, you idiot, House now owns you because he knows you perjured yourself. Your fates are now linked, you ignorant slut! {/snl} You can't turn him in without risking jail, as well as, I'm sure, losing your job and medical license yourself, you dumb bint. Grrrrr.

Oooh, I wish they'd done your idea that the House-Housedaddy tension was because Housedaddy had discovered House in bed with another guy, not the lame-ass childhood abuse thing. Not that it doesn't happen, of course, and not that it's not a terrible thing, but I'd much rather that they didn't do that to House. This was far too close to A Very Special Episode of House for my liking. Don't play the child abuse card, writers. It's been done way too many times before. I liked the character better when he was a bastard just because he was a bastard, not when you're trying to make him all recovering from a traumatic past. Blech.
