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.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How far back, ita? I haven't been watching.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
4 or 5 episodes, Aimée.
Brenda, doesn't that still count as inappropriate and over-reacting? I mean, it's not conclusive, but people who solve problems with violence, or act out are the superset in which him abusing his daughter could fall.
As for Smallville, I couldn't do it. The prospect of good Lex/Clark looks like it's dropped dramatically. And it had already dropped enough.

No. But I don't think that's going to mean much to her dad. Or the cops, for that matter. I'm not sure he didn't get off easy, all things considered.

Though Lex and his sycophant stalker / office helper were amusing. Though one clever scene isn't enough to keep me watching.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
ER: Okay, there are two 'he's involved here, right? It's not one guy sleeping with his 14-year-old daughter and giving her STDs? He's sleeping with someone else's 14-year-old? Which, you know, still v. bad.
