The Cripple Boys

Cand am auzit prima oara de House, m-am gandit, evident, prima oara la un serial in legatura cu o casa. House ar fi dezamagit de mine.

Gregory House e un super doctor cu super departamentul lui de super diagnostic medicine. Adica el este Sherlock Holmes-ul intestinului mic impreuna cu cei trei acoliti ai lui, un negru, o femeie si un pusti bogat (suna ca un banc) si cu singurul lui prieten pe numele lui Wilson (watson?). Toti fiind, evident, doctori.

Eu pe Hugh Laurie l-am vazut ultima oara acum vreo doi ani cand am ajuns din greseala intr-o sala de cinema in care rula Flight of the Phoenix si inainte de asta vorbea cu soareci. Asa ca e surprinzator sa-l vezi pe Hugh Laurie, un britanic foarte britanic, jucand cel mai mizantrop personaj american conceput vreodata pentru ecranu mic. Este un fel de Bender x4 - comic relief.
Pe langa personajul-capodopera, serialul asta are marea calitate de a nu tipa ca vrea bani. Spre deosebire de majoritatea serialelor trendy de acum, House nu incearca sa te tina in suspans daca-si va sufla nasu dupa reclame sau daca moare Fernando. E un serial premeditat, ceea ce, in mod trist, e o raritate zilele astea.

Oricum, God - House 3-3

sample:
Jill: My joints have been feeling all loose, and lately I've been feeling sick a lot. Maybe I'm overtraining; I'm doin' the marathon, like, ten miles a day,
[House looks tired]
Jill: but I can't seem to lose any weight.
Dr. Gregory House: Lift up your arms.
[she does so]
Dr. Gregory House: You have a parasite.
Jill: Like a tapeworm or something?
Dr. Gregory House: Lie back and lift up your sweater.
[she lies back, and still has her hands up]
Dr. Gregory House: You can put your arms down.
Jill: Can you do anything about it?
Dr. Gregory House: Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.
[he starts to ultrasound her abdomen]
Jill: Illegal?
Dr. Gregory House: Don't worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites...
Jill: Playdates?
Dr. Gregory House: [shows her the ultrasound] It has your eyes.
[it's a baby]
