So I think I'm totally and completely hooked on House. Which makes no sense, because the recent shows have been kind of annoying with the EBIL!COP subplot (and by "subplot" I actually mean "main plot"), but the show is absolutely hilarious, and it's got a lot of potential. Has anyone else been watching this season? Because, well, I mean...


I'm trying to figure out how they'll get out of this "asshole cop gets revenge by sending House to jail" plotline. I mean, House can't go to jail, and he can't lose his license - this is a big DUH, because the show is called "House" and not "Some Doctors". So. I'm wondering whether the case will go to court and be thrown out (or, in a laaaarge stretch, House takes it to court and wins). Two reasons: (1) I'm pretty sure the cop is way over his head on due process - impounding cars, freezing bank accounts? Offering plea deals on his own? Can you really do that? and (2) It would mean that House was right, and the show seems to go to pretty far lengths to show that House is almost always right.

Then House can go check himself into rehab as we all saw in the preview for January (JANUARY? I HATE YOU FOX), because he's doing it on his own time, and that's a much more House-y thing to do.

Anyway. I don't like this asshole-cop plotline at all. You started out feeling some sympathy for the cop, which was good! House is an ass! He finds an adversary who is also an ass! But they are both partially in the right, so the viewer is torn! Excellent! Aaaaaand ...and then Tritter just turned into a manipulative bitch and lost everything even remotely sympathetic about his character. And then we all hated him and started rooting for House again.

I mean, I'm no doctor, so that part of the show to me is much like CSI: watching people solve a mystery. But it's like there hasn't been enough medical stuff ON the show because this OMG HOUSE MEDS EVIL COP WITHDRAWAL PILLS PILLS PILLS WTF WILSON thing is taking over the entire freaking hospital.

Also, someone rec me a good House comm?



In other news, watch [livejournal.com profile] brokenprism for some high-quality crack lately. I've been mugged by plotbunnies. Coming your way: an FFIV/FFX crossover experiment, a series of Seifer/Zell drabbles also starring Edea, a very crackalicious Shadow/Terra for this month's [livejournal.com profile] ff_smutathon, and although I don't want to admit it out loud, the Irvine/Seifer ficlet. Also, possibly some work on those Christmas requests, and hopefully I will get back to stabbing at my claims.

House/Wilson! DON'T JUDGE

Really, I've been hesitant to watch this season because of the cop guy. Kind of like the first season where they gave House an ADVERSARY! and I just ended up being bored.

I think the show should be called House, Wilson, and the Ducklings. And feature medical mysteries. AND NO ADVERSARIES.

Oh, no, House/Wilson is OK in my book!!

I AGREE. A little plot to weave a season together? Fine! This much asshole-cop plot? Boo. Get back to the Foreman/Cameron/Chase threesomes, plz.

I have been labeling them the Houseketeers in my head, btw.

No! Chase gets no love from us! Or! Or or or! Chase ends up with that other guy who left the hopsital. Vogler or something.

Alright, I'm probably playing completely into the scriptwriters' whims, but please. He's just too preppy right now for my sympathies.

CHASE/EVIL!COP.

..Oh, wait, you haven't seen it yet.

Chase/Vogler (sp?) is acceptable, then.
