1. Dear Doris Egan,
Thank you SO MUCH for remembering how to write House in character. I could say thanks for so much else, but this is the thing that means the absolute most to me. Other people have been complaining for a while now that House has been OOC this season, and while I haven't had quite as low an opinion of it as some, I did agree that this season's House was drifting somewhat. The thing that's really saved it has been Hugh Laurie's consistently brilliant performance; without him, this character would have been all over the place.
Not this episode. THIS is the House I fell for so many months ago when I watched the pilot; THIS is the House I know so intimately, and so adore.
Hopefully, the rest of the writing team will follow your lead. But even if it's only for an episode...
Thank you for bringing House back.
-Bean

Ep. 4x06 - "Whatever It Takes"
Nov. 7th, 2007 05:16 pmOkay with the earlier rant out of the way, some brief commentary:
( What a mighty good man, what a mighty mighty good man )
Blah. I'm tired. I cannot believe it's actually only 5 p.m. - it feels more like it's eight. Possibly because it's been dark all day. I should really go to the library and return books, but I don't want to. *whine*
My eye has been twitching all day. I don't know why, but Google sez it may be because I've spent too much time in front of the computer and should get off.
...NAH.

Dear House Fandom:
It's bad enough that you referred to "CIA chick" as the woman with the "horrible fake tan" when the promos for this episode were running last week.
And spending your time this week saying she's "ugly," "skanky," "whorish," and similar for doing the same thing every other female on the show has done, i.e. flirt with House? DOES NOT WIN YOU POINTS, EITHER.
YOU.
OUT OF MY FANDOM.
Sincerely,
Bean

May. 8th, 2007 11:53 pm"I'm on SPEEEEED!"
I SAY IT JUST LIKE THAT, I SWEAR. WITH THE SAME HAND GESTURES, TOO. ONLY MORE SARCASM, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
I LOVE THIS SHOW. I LOVE THESE ACTORS.
SO MUCH LOVE.
/fangasm OUT
P.S. - I really need an icon of that moment, it occurs to me. NEED.
Edit: Drinking alcohol and blasting "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" to celebrate, and other thoughts have occurred to me:
( Point-form spoilers for House, M.D., Ep. 3x22 )

Oh...my...GOD
Apr. 4th, 2007 12:30 amI just realized...
Just now...
Locking at the clock, which reads: 12:32 am, WEDNESDAY...
I FORGOT TO WATCH HOUSE!
Jesus god, how did I DO that? I've had all the relevant info: channel, day of the week, time and air dates for upcoming House episodes on my greyboard for weeks. Prior to that, I kept all that on electronic post-it notes on my laptop. I've written this shit on my hand to keep from forgetting it. And I've managed not to miss an episode since late in the second season.
But I missed this one. I didn't even tape it, man. I guess I'll ask Dana at work tomorrow if she taped it, but I don't think she does.
Hell, I even took Dexedrine at 7:15, and didn't remember!
HOW DID I DO THAT?
HOW?!

Okay, THIS is what I meant to post the other day when lj was being poopy:
--
This is very House, M.D. fandom-related. If you don't watch House, this will NO SENSE. Feel free to ignore.
I have been meaning for a long while to post my thoughts on recent House episodes. I've not posted much of anything about House at all in this journal, because 1) I wasn't aware of ANYONE on my list who even watches the show until just recently, and 2) I wasn't posting much, period.
I meant to post a near ESSAY weeks ago with regards to "One Day, One Room," but that was the point at which my home computer ran down the curtain and shuffled off it's mortal coil, AND I've been home sick for three weeks. It was really an essay in my head, although I've lost many of the main points to some random memory storage I can't access, sadly.
I came here to post a few thoughts behind a cut (as I'm sure you non-House fans couldn't care less) about the most recent episode, the subsequent hour-long conversation I had with my mother about TV characterization challenges and fandom perspectives, and how that ties into my thoughts on the WHOA promo for the next episode. I was just going to sum up "One Day, One Room" really fast - I was picturing some weakly "Bridget Jones"-style summaries.
Ep. amazing. Clinic hilarity nearly hernia-inducing. Conversation with girl v. deep. At least think conversation with girl v. deep, could be wrong.** House "secret" well-played, am reflecting on own past. Have new philosophy: Hugh Laurie world genius.
Have second new philosophy: fandom full of morons.
**In case anyone thinks that I really believe this is as "deep" as philosophy gets, I'm playin'.
...Like that. Possibly stuff about "Needle in a Haystack," too. But I realized when I got to the update box that there's some older stuff that I really, REALLY need to get off my chest which I've been swallowing. Should've just given in to the inevitable and said this sooner.
If you DO watch the show, feel free to follow along here.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]:
( 'One Day, One Room' )
( Pissy letter to fandom re: 'One Day, One Room' )
Okay, I'm going to have to run to work, so more recent stuff can wait until later.
--
Of course, I don't actually have to work tonight. But I DO need to go home soon. My freaking mp3 player needs to FINISH CHARGING ALREADY, jeezus.
