wow, non-Japanese TV for once

A couple of my friends are watching the TV show House, and one commented that I'd like the main character. After some details I decided to give it a try. Since my eyes started un-focusing while reading, I thought tonight was a good night to give it a try. I kind of skimmed the first couple, but started more or less watching after about episode 5. I do like it, except for that annoying effect when they go into a person's body and shows you CG of their inner workings. LAME. I do like House, more or less. I do like the banter that goes around. But one BIG problem is that I am not liking one of the characters much. Cameron, the pretty female subordinate with the sad sad past. I had a feeling I wouldn't like her "type" of character when I first saw her, and it only grows stronger with each damn episode. When I heard a bit about her past I could only roll my eyes, thinking whatever. I'm starting to think I don't like American TV because they tend to be populated by character types that really set me on edge. Hard to enjoy a show when a character you rather dislike is kind of prominent in it. >_< I'm hoping either I'll dislike her less or she dies becomes a more likable character.

One thing that dawned on me at episode 5 is that there must be House/Wilson slash. HAS TO BE. And I was right. I read the first one I came across, Anything for Charity (aka the Tux Story) by Michelle Christian, and it turned out to be good. The wit is just flying all over the place, and I could even get over being disturbed about an actual sex scene. Many great lines.

One really nice thing is that I actually have this Saturday off! Yay, a real weekend! ^_^

As far as I know, there seems to be a large (and growing) House slash fandom out there and it looks LJ-based. It's sortof a shame I'm not into slash these days. ^_^;

I was just loaned the first season on DVD by a friend who also swore I'd love the main character (I'm also a big Hugh Laurie fan). I've only worked my way through the first 6 or so episodes.

The CG is done not so much because it should be, but because it could be. In my opinion any way. And no the best reason either. heh

Some episodes are better than others but I absolutely love Dr. House -- my friend was right there (yay, Brit actors invade American telly). Cameron makes me grind my teeth... errrrrrr. Let's vote her off the Island.

Pardon my adding my ramble to your post. OMG, you have a real weekend! Congrats!!!! xoxoxoxoxox Enjoy it!
