'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The whole thing, pretty much--do you figure her father was actually abusive.
I tried to watch Smallville again, since it broke through the cracks in TiVo scheduling. The idea that one guy's young enough to shag Lana and old enough to run for office --well, give me a guy flying in tights instead.
Oh yeah. After he beat the shit out of Dr Young McDreamy last week?
So, I was watching an episode of House that seemed to me to contain a bit of Magical Negro. Unless there's a separate category for Magical Jazz Musician, but I think there's generally crossover. It's funny how things I wouldn't really have noticed before stand out so strikingly, like Mary Sues.
In show time it was further back. I just thought he looked...wrong, somehow. Like there might have been some other explanation.
The idea thatI tried to suspend my belief but eventually just had to fire it. Not that it helped.
Interesting. House usually learns "a lesson" from his patients, so I'm not sure it applies in this case. Now, he often dismisses the lesson, but it's there nonetheless.
My front door is open with the screen in place. Why did the UPS guy just ring my (obnoxious) doorbell, knock on the wood parts and loudly yell "hello" into my house all in a span of seconds? Rude.
But he brought me stuff so I didn't rip his head off.
ER: With the caveat that I missed last night, Dr. McDreamy slept with his 14 year old daughter and (so far as he knows) gave her STDs. I don't think his actions there can necessarily be used as evidence of being violent in general.
How far back, ita? I haven't been watching.
House usually learns "a lesson" from his patients, so I'm not sure it applies in this case.
That's true. And there usually is someone -- patient or family of patient -- who gives some trenchant insight into House's battered soul. So maybe this is just more of the same. I suppose it's really the Mortality Giving You Insight Into What's Really Important theme.
