Quick impressions.

Doctor Who continues to be entertaining, but not all that much more. Ten shouts too much when he's angry - and I'm not sure whether to blame the writers, the actor or the director. Maybe all three? Also the complete lack of continuity on the emotional front is a bit annoying. Ah well, it's nice not being obsessed. :)


A few little thoughts on 'House vs. God'
That was the title, right? Liked this one a lot. The faith thing was handled *very well* (and was nothing like the spork-worthy nuns in S1. Real nuns are *nothing* like that - actually they're a lot like those in 'Sister Act'!)

Anyway, the medical stuff was fairly straight forward, which left lots of time for the characters! Which I really enjoyed! :) And it was *very* intersting how threatened House was by this 15-year-old. Their back-and-forth reminded me of any group of opposing people (fandom wars anyone?) - and I noticed that House didn't treat him like a kid in their discussions. The 'miracle' was brilliant as well - A sceptic would say "So she happened to win the lottery." and someone wth faith would reply "Yes but God gave her the winning ticket!" Hee - much fun. Also excellent last line from Wilson to House "You are as God made you." *g*

Ending on a shallow note, didn't Wilson look absolutely yummy in a sweat shirt? Most people look fabulous in a suit, but Wilson somehow works differently. Or maybe that's just me!

I actually really hate men in suits. I think it comes from working in offices with lots of men in cheap suits. I equate them as boring, conformist and, as my 16 year old self would say, a sell-out working for the 'man' *g*

Give me a bloke in scruffy jeans any day :-)
*leaves you with Wilson and runs (hobbles) off with House on his motorcylce*

I have a theory that it's because DT watched when he was young, and he is too aware of entertaining the kids in the audience. Just do your best subtle acting work, and forget the audience.

I'd far rather intense scary shouting, that hamming it up like you're in a bloody pantomine

Yeah, I'm having the same reaction to DT and Doctor Who. I miss Nine. :-(

House vs. God was a good one. Wait till you see the finale. :-)

It's not the arrogance that bothers me so much (as long as it does eventually get him into trouble), it's all the shouting. ;-) And I just liked Nine and Rose better, at least so far. Not that I don't find the show entertaining, it's just the most recent episode that I didn't care for, really. We'll see what happens. *g*
