Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Along with the fact that I don't think we've ever seen snow on House and the totally wrong plants in many of the exterior shots.

We have, in fact seen snow in at least three or four eps, but not so much as to be a hazard to navigation.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I stand corrected.

OTOH, that's three or four over, what, four seasons?

True. How often do we see outside, though? (I've seen none of season 3, and only about half of season 2.)

Now that I think about it, most shows set in mid-Atlantic states don't have much snow, or much winter. I guess it would be kind of difficult to get that sort of March snow, where it's not snowing anymore, but there are still clumps of dirty snow on the ground.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

TV snow is always freshly fallen powder that gets miraculously plowed before any of the characters need to go outside. (Unless it's some sort of "trapped by snow" bottle episode, in which case it's a blizzard we only see through the window.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yes- dirty, gross old half melted snow with dog pee in it is rarer than outer space with no noise.

Because books.

I seem to remember St. Elsewhere being sort of good about at least some outside shots of slushy, dirty plowed snow, though. Unless I'm hallucinating again.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, it's never really inconvenient or making them get, like, muffled.(i.e. overcoats and shit) Which even I in the desert know is completely wrong. the thing that killed me last year was the black Mormon. I never thought that was very likely. Thought maybe Jehovah's Witness would be just as good for the zingers and so forth.

I think ER is pretty good about it too, IIRC, if mostly confined to brief scenes on the El platform.

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

ER also does it in their ambulance bay.

I never thought that was very likely.

Only Mormon that ever proselytised to me was a very good looking black guy. Didn't work, but I didn't hate the attempt.
