Watched LoM last night. I liked Jason O'Mara, which I didn't expect since I loved John Simm so much. The DH and I both thought Keitel blew, though. Maybe it's because Philip Glenister's Gene Hunt was so impressively organic and real. Keitel seemed to be all bluster without much behind it.

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

He did kind of dominate the scenes too much.

Like I said earlier upthread, the one place I really enjoyed Keitel was in his interaction with the grandma. He really understood what made her tick and what would get her to talk. If they have a better balance between the bluster and the old-school insightfulness, it might really work as a nice counterpart to O'Mara's by the book approach.

That's the one bit of re-casting I regret. I like Keitel, but I really would have liked to see Colm Meaney give it a go.

Ooooh... yeah. That would've been something.

Dammit! I keep losing my Fox series subs on my DVR, and when I reset HOUSE I didn't notice I'd done the high-def channel. I missed the first 15 of this. Was House's dad the one who was the opening incident, or was it the chick who Kumar (I can't remember the newbies characters' names to save my life) is doting on?

The Chinese girl, Frank. She confronted the couple she thought was her biological parents, they tell her to bugger off, she throws up blood and ends up in the hospital.

Crap!! This damn show keeps running over and I keep forgetting to set the TiVo to record an extra minute.
Frank, do you know what Wilson said after he says he guesses you can't choose your friends either?

He says Cuddy hasn't filled his position yet, and he's coming back because House is right and the strange trip to the funeral is the most fun he's had since Amber died. Then they go eat.
