A couple years ago, when I was working at Barnes and Noble, I ran into someone from high school. I didn't remember the gal too well, but said hi and then went about my way. About twenty minutes or so later, she was back. She explained that on her way home God had revealed to her who I was. Yes, that was how she phrased it. She said she had come back to apologize for the crap she had given me in high school and thatit was because she hadn't had God in her life then. Two years later, her words continue to bother me. What does it say about a person that they need God in their life to know something as simple as the fact that treating people like crap is worng? What are they lacking that such things aren't self-evident? Actually, it would explain a lot about such people if they were lacking something.

Ooo, snarkiness. I LOVE the snark. The world needs more snark.

I was amused by Wilson's caluclating assesment of how, if Stacy doesn't think she can trust House, House won't be able to get her to do things for him. Even more amusing is knowing that there are many fans out there who were shocked by such behavior out of Wilson. Sorry, but nice is a behavior, not a character trait. Think about it. House is rude, but we as fans don't assume that makes him a bad person. Wilson is nice. He's also kinda cute. It's hardly shocking that he uses these to his advantage. The man is a doctor. He's smart. He's friends with HOUSE. Why do people continue to be shocked?

The part I'm not looking forward to about the new season is the continued meta fights over things like the show's use of the word "addict". Is House an addict? Well, that really depends on what definition of the word you're using. But I continue to be amazed by the way people foam at the mouth at this issue as central to the show's realism, but no one ever comments on the fact that, given the hand Hugh Laurie is holding the cane in, House is putting the majority of his weight on his bad leg. Or the fact that the massive teaching hospital is apparently completely lacking in techs and nurses, because the doctors do every little thing. I mean, I get that it's all for dramatic purposes, but what makes on issue jump out for a whole fandom, while equally important issues seem to be using invisibility fields?
