Okay, so this is me managing to pick up where I left off before the New Year. (Hooray!) Hopefully, this won’t have to extend itself to 3 parts. We’ll see, because, as you know, I love to ramble.
I finished the last post with what I loved about season 5 and what I liked about season 6 so far. Now here are my (loving) criticisms. Remember, I only say these things because I love! Like last season, the House behind-the-scenes crew seems to be trying to mess with the format of the show. As I said before, last season did a great job of balancing DOTW (Disease-of-the-Week) and character drama. I was hoping they would stick to this path, but this season seems to be all about the character dramas with a little bit of medicine sprinkled on the top. This isn’t working for me—don’t they remember what happened to ER? I stayed on much longer than a lot of other fans, who jumped ship there the moment Dr. Green died, but what broke it for me was when it seemed like the county staff stopped treating patients and started acting in a soap opera. Come on, we have General Hospital for that! From the looks of this season, I fear that House might be headed for the same route if someone doesn’t stage an intervention.
