House:
So what have we learned about Dr. Gregory House? He's had that bit about the dissociative coma fixing his leg mulling in the depths of his mind, he has weird dominance fantasies about Cameron--why else would he put up with her, though I'm still not sure why she puts up with him--he expects Chase to be able to replace him, Foreman is Foreman, and his family is Cuddy and Wilson. Which we knew. Oh, and he does feel some regret for things that happen.
Fascinating episode, because every darn thing is a clue to House's psyche. I'm curious to see what the shooter's real motive is and if House does end up with the psychological side effects. Interesting how he convinced himself that his team could be trusted to keep him from hurting anyone so that the treatment might be worth it. I didn't suspect the true depths of the imaginary world until poor "Harpo's" ailments became more and more grotesque--which serves as an illustration of how deeply House fears losing control of his diagnostic abilities and what will happen to people if he cracks.
Gosh, wow, and hooray for reruns over the summer. Hugh Laurie better damned well get a boat load of acting awards.
Messier and messier! Where can I file the South African ones that are attacking humans? That's the most pressing issue.
In researching this issue (they're probably Chacma baboons, or Papio ursinus, or bearboons, as I've decided to call them), I discovered that during the Napoleonic Wars, a monkey from a French warship washed up at Hartlepool and was hanged. The article states "It is unclear if the people of Hartlepool knew that it was a monkey or were merely confused as to what Frenchmen looked like." The mascot of the local football club is a monkey named H'Angus.
I think that all of McCrane's characters should be killed by vengeful helicopters.
I can't believe no one mentioned being beheaded by an ambulance.
The Alias finale cause a shuffle in my taping and I failed to get 24. Is there one more week, or was that it?
The
24
on Monday night was the finale... sorry, aurelia!
I somehow missed recording the
House
finale last night, but I know I'll be able to get an
ahemed
file from a friendly source in a day or two.
House: What else did we learn?
Being House's imaginary patient is much, MUCH worse than being his real patient. Yecch!!!! I'm amazed they didn't throw in some spinal menengitis symptoms or rapidly atrophying limbs while they were throwing every squicky ailment in the book at Harpo.
My dvr is rapidly filling up with Miami Vices. Thanks a lot, ita. At least there won't be new things for a while, so I'll have a chance to watch them.
Wow. Just... nope, that's the word.... wow.
umm EW! [link]
It's gross, but it makes me laugh how much it grosses you out.
I forsee msbelle wearing closed toe shoes for a while.
There were a lot of stupid bags of flesh on the road today. A mom jogging with her kid in a stroller IN THE STREET when there was perfectly decent sidewalk nearby. A busy street. Guy, helmetless riding a bike in traffic, against flow, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. Student crossing the street at a not crosswalk WITHOUT LOOKING and requiring evasive maneuvers by not one, but 3 cars.
In other stupid news, fucking hell, they are insecticiding the apartment complex friday. They do not tell me if they are using fumigants, in which case, I need to vacate the cats as well because NO ONE POISONS MY CATS. In any case, I have to fucking empty my fucking kitchen. Completely. Fuck.
I should not have left my bed this morning, I think.
