House in rehab--then there's the "Is he really trying or playing them all till they throw him out or his court-ordered stay is over?" He does a nice line in "sudden realization of something important that I'll die before I admit". Like the one a season back or so when he's doing a surgery on a pregnant woman--though he's not a surgeon--and the fetus grabs his finger.

Hugh Laurie gets ideas better than any actor I've ever seen. Mostly thinking doesn't translate to the screen well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I could stand the show. Because I'd love to watch Hugh Laurie act every week.

I wonder if it comes from comedy training, because a good joke relies on double takes, and explaining it yanks most of the fun out of it.

Maybe...the comedy is why we love him when he says horrible things.

Are we supposed to not notice that Sarah Shahi is pregnant?

She was suddenly HUGE. I wonder what the break in filming was between last week and this. I guess they'll have her sit for the rest of the pregnancy.

Or have Tidwell's baby.

Heh.

Art Crawl!!!

I think that the FBI thingy is how they're dealing with the pregnancy.

Both Life and Criminal Minds had poisoning hookers last night. Except Life's wasn't really a hooker, and damn were those guys cheap in comparison to the Texan femme fatale.

Toxic sex for hire in the nine o'clock hour. Wonder what Lie To Me was about.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I missed a lot of Criminal Minds but what I saw ... I was disappointed. Struck me as going for the sleazy and exploitative without much in the way of content. Is it sweeps time again?
