TV and more TV
So I totally cut out of last night's big sophomore activity in my new house early so that I could catch the last half of Gilmore Girls and the new House ep. Yay for taking advantage of my undergraduate educational opportunities.
I'm really getting into this show again. Luke and Lorelai, of course, can't be the main draw anymore, but I like that the show has shaken up the Lorelai/Rory dynamic a bit, and that they're at least perfunctorily exploring how the new Luke/Lorelai relationship is going to affect the parenting. I like that Lorelai isn't trying to keep Luke away from Rory's upbringing the way she did to Max; it's at least one small thing that she's doing right in this relationship that she didn't do before. But this is definitely not a must-see thing for me anymore, unfortunately.
Mmmmm, this was one of the slashiest episodes yet. Wilson nearly broke my heart when he told House to go to hell. Cuddy is excellent as ever, and I thought I caught a couple of meta moments: House's comment about Chase's great hair, and his order to Cameron to stay away from the patient so she wouldn't get warm and fuzzy. If only he did the same at the beginning of every episode, the show would be perfect. Or Cameron could just, y'know, leave and take her ugly hair with her.
My House/Veronica Mars buddy has been reading Veronica Mars spoilers and telling me which ones he's read without telling me what they are. Our basic conversations go like this:
Him: "I know whether Logan dies."
Me: "Does he? No, don't tell me. I don't want to know. OK, I wanna know. Is he dead? No, don't tell me." (etc.)
Him: "I know who's at the door."
Me: "OH MY GOD. It's Weevil isn't it? No, wait, they wouldn't be that obvious. I bet it's, like, Duncan. Is it Weevil? IS IT LOGAN? It's Logan. You smiled. No, don't tell me. Don't tell me. Wait, who is it?"
...
Conclusion: I need the new season to start IMMEDIATELY. And, yay, Lost tonight.
