Instead of doing the reasonable thing and giving up on a show of which the basic premise bores me to death (now, that would be an interesting case...), I continued to watch House over the weekend. I've been through 8 seasons of CSI (wait, is it really 8? Or are we already in season 9. It sure feels like 9 years). A bit of medspeak cannot discourage me. Neither can silly hospital rooms. Plus, I have this friend who is a doctor, and he's hot, so there.

I must admit that this worked amazingly well and I can now announce that I just bought House Season 1,2 and 3 on DVD. This is either a sign that I really like the show or that it has driven me insane. I'm not sure what the medical diagnosis would be, but when I hit "PLACE YOUR ORDER" on the amazon website, it felt like a really good idea. (It's also a good deal for 23 Euro per season including shipping. Not even ebay is that cheap.)

Now that I've committed to watching the show, tell me where the slash is. No, wait, tell me where the fic is. I don't really care if it's slash, I'll take everything with good characterisations and lots of House snarkiness. Though I prefer slash, since House and Wilson are clearly married and I don't know how they could avoid having sex, since I'm sure House would trip and fall onto Wilson eventually, and Wilson seems to have no free will when it comes to
people falling on him. Or for him. Or something.

Please don't tell me that this scenario is as popular as I'm suddenly and fearfully imagining it to be.

I will now finish this dreadful contract (*cries*), then go home and watch one or two more eps. If in between I could read a fic or two, I'd be very happy. I'm looking either for good quality recs sites or for fics that I can read and understand with my limited knowledge of the show (I've watched about 12 eps in the middle of season 3). Pimping fic, so to speak. If you could find me vids, that would make me happy, too.

Lacking a steady supply of new TV shows (Supernatural and Torchwood is NOT enough to keep me satisfied, no matter how much gay sex and prettiness they bring), I've been watching House. I started watching House once before, made it through the first two eps or so and decided it was boring. I 'm just not interested in shows that take place on space ships or hospitals, too sterile, I think (that's also how I explain Firefly, nothing sterile about space cowboys.)

This time, I started somewhere in the middle of season 3, and oh boy, it's pretty. Not literally, like SPN, but there is angst and sweat and crankiness. Yep, I can see why you all keep telling me to watch it.

The only problem is, that while I find it ridiculously easy to fall for House himself, and while I can imagine caring about the rest of the characters, I find the show itself utterly boring. I really cannot justify spending time watching actors in front of x-ray pictures guessing that a patient could have, making test, guessing some more, and then, at the end, finding a miraculous cure, hooray! It's a waste of time I could spend watching Magnificent Seven or The Unit or Stargate, or any other show where real men get some real action.

What ever should I do to remedy this, my dear flist? I want to keep watching House (himself), with his gay gay gay friend Wilson, and the other people he barks at every day, but I don't want to watch them do their jobs. And, though some of those eps sure were misleading in that way, I suspect that their job is what the show really is about. What should I EVER do about this???

Maybe it would be best to consult a doctor before I decide on anything drastic. I mean, watch a doctor. (speaking of doctor, does anyone have the dates for the new Dr. Who?



(totally out of context I'd like to mention that I LOVE [livejournal.com profile] _bettina_.It needed saying.)
