House rules

I wanted to post this afternoon about how much I was looking forward to tonight's episode of "House," having heard it was excellent, and because there was a mediocre feature article that nonetheless contained some choice Robert Sean Leonard quotes (RSL vies with Hagrid for king of "Whoops, shouldn't'er said tha'"), but I waited for the episode to air first. Turns out it didn't matter. The ep was good -- had some choice Wilson and House/Wilson moments ( details )

, and who can say no to House imitating a California dopehead or going one-on-one with a little blonde kid? -- but argh! far too soap-operatic, and two scenes on the roof that were supposed to be dramatic but during which all I could think was OMGfakesunsetbluescreen! and then later, OMGfakenightskybluescreenagain! But really, worth it entirely for the Wilson goodness.

The thing that got me, really, was what seemed like a dose of misogyny. People have pointed out before that Jennifer Morrison's is the only name in the credits that isn't set against a medical image -- okay -- and that Cameron is whinier than the others -- okay -- and that article described Wilson by his job and position but Cameron by her looks and love interests -- not the screenwriters' fault -- but tonight what bothered me is that ( spoiler, if you care about Stacey )

.

...I'm not even going to get into what Alan is saying right now on "Boston Legal." *coughCaptainHandsome*cough*BeautifulBlondLocks*cough*.

Uh, so, in closing, what Sam said.
