Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Anybody else seen the Sarah Connor Chronicles preview for the new season? I only saw it without sound, but it DID prominently feature Ms. Shirley Manson!!!

Did it? I had heard about that casting but somehow have missed the promo. (And I've been watching the repeats. Annoying.)

So I just saw the last three episodes of House Season 4 (having not seen anything since watching most of season 1), and I confess I was very sucked in.
Also?
I am thoroughly embarassed that it took my friend to point out that the show is blatantly riffing on Sherlock Holmes.
I...I'm sort of shocked at myself. I think it's a spelling thing - same as with my reaction to the book Eragon as relating to the word 'dragon' rather than chiming with 'Aragorn'. I'm more of a visual learner than a phonetic one. But - Jesus. Holmes=>Homes=>House. I mean, it's such a strange surname, such an odd choice, unless it's a great big honking signpost - I feel like a prat. I mean, sure, Wilson/Watson, fine - but I never even CONSIDERED House's name.
Am an ass. (I gather there are various other things in the show, like House having the same address as Holmes, and some Moriarty villain, and heaven knows what else - but I don't blame myself for not knowing about that. I'm just appalled that I didn't make the House=Home connection. Duh.)
Aaaaanyway, that aside - blimey! That was quite the weepy season finale! And now I have to start playing catchup with the damn show.
Sigh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Huh, I never thought about the Holmes/Watson thing regarding House !

Oh, bless you, PC! That makes two of us, then, at least.

Neither did I. . . but I'm not a frequent House watcher.

I had completely forgotten that we'd seen Sparky before! (Good continuity show!)
