So! After spending, oh, three years resisting because of severe advertising oversaturation during the 2004 playoffs and then another year or so just waiting for a convenient source to drop into my lap, I have finally come across downloads for House.
Clearly, it goes without saying that I like it. I knew I would. I mean, it has a bitter misanthropic lead character AND Claudio from Much Ado About Nothing. How could it miss? So I'm not posting about that. I'm posting to praise its amazing range of guest stars. I'm a little more than halfway through season one and I've already spotted Aaron Himelman (Friedman from Joan of Arcadia, hilariously still playing a fifteen year old), Amanda Seyfried (Lilly Kane from Veronica Mars, which is especially weird because I dreamed about that show out of nowhere the other night), and Danny Nucci (Fabrizio! From Titanic! Fabrizio was the shit!). It's like the ghosts of fandoms past. It's becoming increasingly entertaining to play Spot the Guest Star From A Show And/Or Movie I Loved Five Or More Years Ago.
(Also, is it going to get a little less formulaic? I could use a break from "Weird case comes up, House starts treatment based on an educated guess, treatment is wrong, patient almost dies, they all try again, they get it half right, patient almost dies, one of House's clinic patients gives him an epiphany, he pulls random obscure ailment from his ass, patient lives." It's entertaining, but it's getting so I can predict the rhythms of the episodes. I'd like to see that broken up a little.)
