Five by Five
Last night's House episode was fabulous and my favourite in a long, long time. Earlier this year they did a Wilson-centric one which was basically the show if Wilson were the main character, and that was okay. This time, it was Cuddy's turn, and it was fantastic. Why the difference? (Err, in my personal perception.) Because while Wilson (like House) gives me the impression of moving in his personal hamster wheel and has done for years, and thus his episode felt like same old to me, Cuddy last and this season has actually moved on and created something new with her life. And so this most likely only episode of Cuddy: The Show - a day in the life of a beleagered hospital administrator who pawns insurance companies, stealing employees, annoying doctors and boasting boyfriends alike - we're going to get felt fresh. Lisa Edelstein was in very single scene, as we never left Cuddy's pov, and rocked the hell out of them. I'm so filled with love right now.
Since we're talking fabulous women, here are some links from halfamoon:
Marvel Comics:
In the breakdown lane: Maria Hill. I so love the way the last two years have moved Maria Hill from a not too fleshed out plot device to one fantastic and important character, to the point where her scenes are my favourites Matt Fraction's current Iron Man run. This story gives us an excellent look at her.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles:
I will follow: a Savannah Weaver vid, exploring her relationships with John Henry and with Catherine Weaver. Reminding me how much I loved the other dysfunctional family in that 'verse. Damn you, Fox!
Gone With The Wind:
Sisters: a Melanie vignette. The older I get, the more I tend to conclude the relationship between Scarlett and Melanie is my favourite thing about GWTW, and this story delivers Melanie's pov on it.
Multifandom:
Five awesome non English-speaking ladies: because there are stories, shows, movies and books that did not take their origin in an English-speaking country, and a lot of them have great female characters as well. I'm delighted this presentation includes Yagmur of Türkisch für Anfänger.
