Dean Devlin is totally watching Angel season 1 DVDs when he writes Gina Bellman's scenes, isn't he?
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Wait wait wait. So Christian Kane's been hanging around my office building and I did not know this? So very wrong.
ETA: actually, should this be in Natter? I don't think this counts as a procedural, right?

I know, Hil. Good one, Dr. Wilson! RSL totally had me going, too. In other House news, why am I so bored with Thirteen? On paper, she should be interesting, but I'd way rather watch Kutner or Taub, even without all The Oddity of The Week. Do you think they'd ever risk having her get impaired within the run of the series? Or is Wilde not a good enough actress? Did I just answer my own question?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was wondering the same thing, erika. I'm not sure what the progression of Huntington's is, but if they could do the storyline well, it could be really interesting. I have the same doubts about Wilde, though, too.

Cuddy's hair this season has been driving me nuts. It's like each episode, it's covering a bit more of her face. Could barely see her forehead and eyebrows at all this week.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Because she's Poochie with Huntington's.

Score one for the Aussie.Ha! Yeah, excellent differential, mate. Kind of like Falsone Syndrome at that...ie. a bunch of people deciding on some traits that the audience ought to dig/feel sympathy for and putting them all together instead of building a character. Falsone being the Poochie of H:LOTS fandom. And pretty much so hated there was a webpage. And several diehard fans who watched OZ and saw that same actor get burned to death told me later that it kind of made them happy. But then, my fandoms are often callous and strange.

Yeah. In most of these characters, the show was pretty good at creating people who all have a few really unlikable qualities, which makes them way more compelling characters. And there isn't always a reason for it, it's just the way they are. Pretty much everything unlikable or negative we've seen about Thirteen has been explicitly blamed on the Huntington's.

That's true, Hil. I never thought of it though. And Cameron already Decided To Live In The Face Of Death with stupid sex once anyway...maybe Thirteen should have gone skydiving instead of, well, never mind. I was about to say something really inappropriate. Without the mad diagnostic skills to back it up.
