After all the House love from the other day I decided that I needed to see what the fuss was for myself. When I'm being told that I'm just like a main character I get curious, so I got hold of some tapes and watched two episodes with a friend who's been after me to see it for weeks.

I should note here that I didn't get to see the pilot until after I watched an episode. The episode in question was the one with the redheaded kid from Spy Kids. All commentary is mine unless otherwise stated.

5 min in: Hmm. Not impressed.
6 min: Why didn't anyone tell me that Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' was the theme?!
10 min in: Huh. So that's Dr House.
15 min: Dude, that Australian guy is hot.
17 min: Is that the crazy, blind guy from Carnivale? I love him!
20 min in: The spaghetti theory? WTF!

[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: What's House keep taking?
Friend: Vicodin
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: That many? And they're just *letting* him?
Frinend: Yeah.
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: Huh.
Friend: This episode kinda sucks.
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: It's really graphic though -- I like it.

30 min in: Dude, is that Neil Perry? I love Dead Poets Society!
31 min in (note to self): House and Neil Perry are SO doing it.

40 min in: Meh. It was okay. Not enough House, but Omar Epps = yay!

Then we watched the pilot

2 min in:

Friend: Uh, is this the right show?
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: Why are you asking me?! It's not like I've seen it before!
Friend: I just -- I'd never seen this opening before.
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: You're not helping here.

5 min in: Is that the chick from The Craft? I hated that movie.
7 min in: That girl resident has got the hots for House. I'd put money on it.
10 min in: Neil Perry and House are *definitely* doing it.

15 min: Oh. House, you are a smug fucker. I like you.

20 min: That female administrator has got the hots for House too.
22 min: The female admin is annoying as hell. But hot. Nice suit.
25 min: How can you not love a doctor who pockets the vicodin and gives the patient candy!

35 min in: This show is going to turn its entire viewing audience into hypochondriacs!

45 min in:

Friend: So?
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: It's crack! I love House
Friend: I told you you'd identify with House
[livejournal.com profile] hackthis: You guys see me as a crotchety 40-something Englishman-pretending-to-be-American, pill-popper. Wow. Thanks
Friend: Don't mention it.



In conclusion?

YAY HOUSE! ::goes icon shopping:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the hotness of Chase right off the bat. If you want the entire run of episodes to date, let me know and I can tell you where to dl.

Er, I started watching late, and the only torrent site I know about starts with episode 7, which I've already seen. Do you know where to get eps 1-6?
