House "You Don't Want to Know" Meta-ish

Nov 21, 2007 10:16

All righty. Let me first say that I enjoyed this ep a bit. How, you ask? Because I no longer see the show as the thoughtful drama it was. Now it's a comedy. We're obviously expected to laugh at the slapstick so...*shrugs*.

The night before, Fox aired a season one ep "Control," and it showed House in all his glory (okay, not all--if there had ( Read more... )

Exactly. Enough! Sigh. But I don't see them changing the slide down this slippery slope.

I agree. If you watch the show on a purely comedy level, it works. I bet they could put it up against Seinfeld or Friends and it would do okay.

If you're looking for something more, depth, intelligence, characterization, that's from another world. I can't believe House, if he forced the test on Thirteen would let her throw the results away much less not open them himself. I can't believe Thirteen gives him more narcotics and forces a liver biopsy on him when he doesn't want one and this shows what a good character she is. We're supposed to feel sad for her but we don't even know who she is, thanks to all the "mystery"

Fox must be either very confident or very stupid to put up season 1 episodes right before it.

Well, it could either be stupid or...the person in charge wants everyone to see what TPTB have done to his/her beloved show.

LOL

nothing made me want to tune in next week to see what will happen.

How about Cameron actually being in a scene with House? I saw the promos.

;-)

But yeah, I've been getting stressed at the idea of what's coming. Sigh. And it shouldn't be that way, dammit! I used to look forward to new eps with anticipation and excitement, not "What did they do to my ship?!"

Sorry to post this here. I suddenly don't have access to Amber's entry, where you asked if you could use my analogy. Go for it. No need to credit. :D

She withdrew the post. Fortunately, I was using multiple tabs on my browser, so I hit the back key a few times and was able to return to the post and copy and paste.

I thought the arguments were calm and clear but it's possible that someone posted something less nice afterwards and she decided to just throw up her hands and say to hell with it, and hit the delete post key.
