House

FINALLY. After two, long weeks, my beloved show was back on. And I'd have to say, it was a flop. After sitting through countless auditions of American Idol and even George W's speech, my hard work of being House's number one fan didn't pay off.
This episode, which really wasn't an episode, had to deal with House and a rape patient. At first, House didn't want to take this patient on because she was ONLY raped...
I found that quite disturbing until he explained how he likes dealing with the extraordinary cases. That made me think, "Wow, rape is really common in our world." That makes me very upset to know that every time a woman, or a man, gets raped they're just another number added to the barrel of millions more. What makes them so special?
House ended up caring for this girl, even though he kept reinforcing the fact that she was healthy. She stayed in the hospital and basically had a heart to heart with House. He also expressed himself, which is a first, so I suppose that's why the creators thought this plot was a good idea. Except, the only thing we learned is that House was physically abused by his father, which would explain his aggressive nature, but I had always thought it was because of his leg? AH.
Next week's show looks better and I'm ready for a great plot so I can give a better analysis on why Hugh Laurie is my hero. :)

However, Grey's Anatomy was good so they made up for my loss.

That's such a bummer! It's weird though, that the show would play so far away from what people usual expect from it. Like, honestly, if I ever wake up and see Hugh Laurie looking down on me, I'm going to be very, very frightened, because something is truly wrong with me. At the same time, however, he always solves the case in an hour long program. Hm, I wonder what that's about?
