I, for one, am thrilled that the House writers have come up with a credible adversary for our favorite doc. This season had a lackluster start, but with David "I'm so creepy! CREEEEEEEEEPY!" Morse as the cop who's got it in for House, things have been kicked up a few notches.
As much as I love Hugh Laurie and the character he plays, the formulaic nature of the show can get tiresome: it always ends with House brilliantly pulling some brilliant conclusion out of left field, and then brilliantly curing the patient. All while sending a constant stream of insults his or her way. It's like, I get it. He's really good at what he does. Meanwhile, in the back of my mind I'm going, "No doctor can be this much of an asshat, AND publicly addicted to Vicodin, and never get sued, no matter how smart he is."
Well, Mr. CREEEEEEEEEPY! may resolve both of these dilemmas. He confronts House with the legal troubles that would be inevitable in the real world, and he also takes much of the pleasure out of House's medical victories, since in his personal life, Greg's in deep. He may have tied with God in a genius-off, but he ain't infallible. I look forward to the upcoming episodes, especially since tonight's Lost will be the last for many long, cold months.
Also, David Langlieb. I'm just gonna write his name at the end of every entry to get more hits. Why not? All the other blogs are doing it!

Well said, Alanna. If I had been the boob tuber to take on last night's House, I would have talked about how the makeup on the actor playing the morbidly obese man was horrible, and that I think they should have CGI animated a fat man instead. Then Fox could run an hour long special called The Making of House, in which we see Hugh waving his cane erratically in front of a green screen (not a blue screen or else Hugh's striking eyes would not be picked up). Also, David Langlieb.
That was a pretty sad fat suit. I mean, Tyra Banks' Fat Suit of Condescension was better, and that's for daytime TV! davidlanglieb Thanks for the comment davidlanglieb.
