TV Show - Dr. House | House M.D. VI + 1

I totally forgot, in episode 12 of the third season, we get to see the irresistible Katheryn Winnick!

Please don't get me wrong, she's a woman with incredible charisma, perfect for the role and the theme she represents. Additionally, it's important that not only extraordinary cases are dealt with or addressed but also cases like the one portrayed by the character (Eve) she portrays.

For this reason as well, it's a very important series because it addresses issues and makes them available to a wide audience so that these topics don't take a back seat in the collective consciousness and remain present!

TV Show - Dr. House | House M.D. III

After a long day, we're back at Princeton-Plainsboro with Dr. House and his team. A lot has happened since then!

We've gone through the second attempt with Stacy and realized that House really isn't the person for a relationship. Or maybe just not the right one for Stacy, even though the series itself wants to tell us otherwise. But before it gets serious, House backs off and, if I remember correctly, loses her forever, because as far as I know, Stacy or Sela Ward doesn't appear again in the series.

We've also already dealt with House's white whale, Esther! What struck me about this episode right away, probably because it involved a little child, was that we rarely saw the patient. Here, it was clear that narratively, it wasn't about the patient, but really about House and how he handles this case, which affects him much more than the previous case with Esther!

Otherwise, we often encounter cases where House makes morally questionable decisions. Professionally, of course, absolutely top-notch, no question, and the results speak for themselves. However, there are always situations that seem questionable. For example, the second awakening of the boy with burns, even though he was stopped, or the viewing of Stacy and her husband's files. What I'm getting at is that there are increasing cases where he often has to be stopped by the team. But again, the question arises whether it's not legitimate, as it leads to the patient's recovery. I also think of the girl and the tick, if Foreman hadn't stopped him with his cane and held the elevator, the patient would surely be dead.

I know, during my last rewatch about 4 years ago, I reached a point where I found many things very questionable, especially regarding House's character. And no, it wasn't about the police officer, but I'll write about that too, because there are quite a few things that bother me about it!

TV Show - Dr. House | House M.D. II

That's what I call a proper start to a Sunday morning!

Although I didn't sleep enough because I got absorbed in a manga, after my breakfast, I immediately put on House and was rewarded with my favorite episode (Three Stories). And right in the first few minutes, we're also treated to the wonderful Sela Ward, always nice to see her.

Of course, we also find out right away why Sela Ward, who plays Dr. House's wife, is visiting him in the hospital, because of her new husband. For those who haven't slept through all the episodes we've seen before, we know that conflicts are inevitable. But they all come later, because before that, we can enjoy how House tells his story and interacts with the medical students.

Here at the end of the first season, I believe there's one more episode after this one, we already have a Dr. House who is much more complex than he was at the beginning of the season. We know some of his preferences, like that he likes to play Metroid: Zero Mission (Metroid Pinball has also been seen before) and that he likes to deal with people who are schizophrenic, as he finds their way of thinking much more interesting than that of "normal" people. We also learn more about his relationships with each team member, including that he had something with Cuddy (I think there's a funny picture later on about that). It's a first season that leaves you wanting more, and if I can get my aversion to commercial breaks under control a little better, then the last season will also be something.

In this case, I also have to admit that I find the German title of the episode a bit better than the original. Because "Three Legs" somehow has a deeper meaning than "Three Stories." On the one hand, it can't normally be about three legs. But in the episode, as House himself tells, it's initially about six legs of a total of three people. Although it evolves during the episode so that it actually ends up being about one leg each of the three people, and then again only about one leg, namely his. Then the title also has a subtly humorous note, which is disarming on the one hand but somehow also depressing when you watch the episode. But I don't want to dwell on that, because that's a golden exception, usually the original titles are very well chosen.

What is also always brought to my attention in the intro is the fact that the producer of all these stories is Bryan Singer. Yes, exactly, this Bryan Singer who brought us the X-Men movies to the local cinemas in the early 2000s and also made Hugh Jackman into Wolverine. I like it when creative people are so multifaceted!

I mustn't forget to check whether a new episode of HALO has been released this week or whether one will only be released next week. I forgot to check when the new episodes of the second season are coming out during my little binge watch this week.

TV Show - Star Trek: Voyager XII

After work, I wanted to start Voyager, and what can I say, I think I had a slight overdose.

I managed to watch Course: Oblivion (S5E18), and then it was over. Right after that, there was an episode where Chakotay was sent into the boxing ring, and the shouting annoyed me, so I fast-forwarded to the end. I started the next episode, but somehow nothing was going into my head.

I've enjoyed the rewatch a lot, but I think I should take a few days off and focus on something else. I've already found something else to watch, but I'll talk about that in another post.

However, I don't want to hide the fact that I might still be a little annoyed about The Imperfects thing from yesterday. You find something new that captivates you and is fun, and then it gets canceled by Netflix. I just hate it so much. How are you supposed to build a relationship with something when it ends abruptly? Can't they at least find a decent conclusion? Is that too much to ask? Yesterday, after downgrading my account a few weeks ago, I was close to canceling the subscription altogether because I'm just tired of this kind of thing!

Quick comic, is it any wonder Ann hasn't bagged Makoto yet lol

TV Show - Dr. House | House M.D. V

Okay, I didn't remember that the story with the cop (Tritter) was so close. Sorry if I keep calling him cop or policeman, I have a terrible memory for names.

I actually find this side story quite interesting because even though both of them, at first, didn't break any laws or acted within their rights, both abused their power. That's why I've always wondered who started it. It's a bit like with Han Solo, who shot first?

Because Tritter started with the provocation, complaining first that he had to wait for 2 hours (when I think about how long I've waited in doctors' offices or clinics, 2 hours is a joke). It's mostly just verbal after that, which would still be bearable. You shout into your pillow at night or punch a punching bag, and it's done. But here comes the crucial point; Tritter trips House when he tries to go to the door of the examination room. Let me be clear, he trips a person with a disability. He shouldn't be surprised if he's made to wait with a thermometer up his butt, sorry bro! Plus, House is the expert in this case, so what gives Tritter the right to tell him what to do and how his job works? Sorry, I just find it outrageous because he could have handled it differently. I also find it outrageous how Tritter interrogates the team and keeps meddling in medical matters he knows nothing about, forming judgments or opinions. Yes, House's medication is intense, but still, he should seek advice from someone who knows what they're talking about. And yeah, in case it hasn't leaked out yet, I absolutely, completely, and utterly dislike Tritter!!

Of course, everything that happens afterward is absolutely not nice, and the misuse of the prescription pad comes to light. But somehow, I've always been on House's side because sure, both of them show absolutely no remorse for their behavior, but Tritter, because of his profession, somehow has even more power and fully exploits it, which I don't really find okay. Because actually, House could go and charge him with assault for tripping him, but nobody really thinks of that. And yeah, I don't want to exclude the possibility that my argumentation is somewhat clouded by my sympathy for House, but still, I stand by it!

Anyway, it's bedtime for me now because I know there will also be a rift between House and Wilson. Although, I'll still watch the episode with the coma patient because the coma patient behaves absolutely not how you would expect, I like that.
