sabOkay, so, the last three episodes of House have made me very nervous. ...
...and not because I'm not behind House/Cuddy as a concept; it's even cute the way it's playing out. And yet. People. At the end of the most recent ep, Wilson said, "I think you're gonna be okay, House."
*pause*
"I think you're gonna be okay, House."
If House is okay, I am no longer interested. But on the other hand, last time I hated the writers was in S3 when I was afraid Tritter was going to lead us into an enlightened period of rehab and House quitting Vicodin, and our boy House managed to come out of it as much a drug-addled bastard as when the arc started, so. There's this great interview Hugh Laurie did for a Spanish-language website where he said that once House changes, the show is over.
So if you're out there, Doris Egan, I still trust you. But this is a slippery slope, lady. House better hurry up and, like, sexually assault someone or hijack a tanker truck.
Fingers are x'ed for tonight.
I also remembered how much I like The Unit. Somehow I'd missed this entire season, so I mainlined like six episodes yesterday and, just. Oh. It is still so strangely smart and satisfying for a vaguely republican show which isn't funny. And you folks out there reading EHCA know how little tolerance I have for things that aren't funny. And here's The Unit, almost as un-funny as BSG, and yet! Smart, Mamet-y, twisty, fun Top Secret storylines! Like, what is UP with Molly and her new job? (I am only on ep 6) She knowssss something. I can smell it. And Bridget! She also knows something! And Kim, shut up about your baby and go have an affair with that guy you're nannying for!
