Current Mood: amused

(no subject)

It took me until today to find out that House is a medical show. And it was only last week that I learned that House is, apparently, the name of the main character.

So, it's a show about someone called Doctor House. For some reason, this really amuses me.

Mental image: A building holding a scalpel and leaning over to cut open this tiny person in front of it.

Once More, With a Jaded and Bitter View of Humanity.

That does sound interesting, actually.

So, are the people in your icon House related? They look vaguely medical. It's the red tie.

And, as always, glad to be of service.

No, really. Ambushing me while I make breakfast. It's not even a plotbunny, so I can't even shove it in the file and partially incapacitate it thus. It's... it's... a brain worm.

The one in the red tie is Dr. James Wilson, Head of Oncology, House's best friend and that guy everybody goes, "Do they want us to think they're dating?!" about. Dr. Gregory House (Department of Diagnostic Medicine and General Bastardry) is the unshaven one attempting to stare a hole in the corner of the icon. This is not an atypical look. He does not believe in lab coats or ties, and the stubble fairy has blessed him muchly, but not as muchly as the snark fairy.

If you're interested, I'd say the show is worth it, but might take a while to grow on you. I actually wouldn't advise jumping in on the pilot, because he seems to be a bit more of a bastard there than I'm used to him being. And there's another episode everyone's reccing you to start with that I'd also nix, but I'll explain that below.

... after going through all the info here, it definitely sounds interesting enough to give a couple of hours of my time to.

Are they doing any airings of reruns right now or should I just try watching next week's episode? It's on Tuesdays?

Well, next week's episode starts what looks like it might be our very first arc, so I'm not sure how great it would be to start with, though it'd obviously be infinitely preferable to starting with the episode after that. This week's was a rerun, but... a bit too late for that now. If, on the other hand, you want to get a few the episodes off the net somewhere to try, a quick consultation with a friend would recommend one or any of the following: Occam's Razor, for one of the best of the beginning-of-the-season episodes, Damned If You Do (it's got nuns!) or The Socratic Method (it's got vomiting of blood!) for middle-ground ones, and DNR for the episodes that have started to focus more on the characters themselves.

And yes--Tuesdays at 9 EST (convert timezone as necessary), FOX.
