What a repulsive post.
EDIT:
This post is misogynist, objectifying trash.

I don't think Taub's actor is very attractive, from an open standpoint. Neither is Hugh Laurie. But Hugh at least has the acting going for him... Taub... well, I don't like his acting either.
The reason I dislike the new girl isn't just about looks, as some others commented on. Her acting isn't very good either, and her character is boring and bland. The Pretty Doctor is just that... a pretty doctor. I don't think she's necessarily a good actress or bad actress, but she is eye candy. Maybe it takes time, though. I didn't like Thirteen when she first started, but after a season or so, she was pretty good.
Apparently, a lot of people find Hugh Laurie "hot". I think the thing about Taub and Dr. Teenager is that they are fairly "normal" looking people which I don't really have a problem with. Films are kind of about escapism, but also about people. Most people don't look like Olivia Wilde, Lisa Edelstein or Omar Epps. I don't see why you have to be "Hollywood hot" to be in the public eye. Like Splash said (even though there were some horrible things in that post), it should be about the actor's, I don't know...ability to act. Maybe that is just me using common sense.
I don't care about her looks, I just find her character extremely annoying.
She can't act, she knows it, and it shows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_01Dzi5pcI
About it. Hilariously awkward, just about it.
Oh shit she read this forum.
Oh, god. I hate Pretty Doctor even more, now.
Insisting on calling social services on a girl who clearly said she was being abused? Egregious.
@BakaDave, can you find that vid again, it's been removed.
I've actually liked that actress in some previous projects, but I really don't care for her on House. Kinda miss the Joan of Arcadia chick.
I thought Monday's episode was pretty good, and some news...
It has been decided that this will be the last season of House, so enjoy it while it lasts.
I heard from a friend that House is to end this season, but that's a good thing. I'd been discussing this sometime in the past around when this season first started. And it seems that most everyone I've spoken to all agree that it should end. Quite honestly, I have to agree. As much as I wish it would have taken a different turn before this season began, we cannot turn back time. The best thing to do now is end it before it gets worse. It's actually not that bad and I'm curious to see how they end the season. I have faith it will be great!
This episode was amazing. Why does House have to end?? At least it goes up to episode 22.
Don't know, seem like the producers, etc. decided it was time. Though still love the show, it's been losing some steam, and ratings wise it hasn't been performing that good.
The loss of House will hurt FOX a lot, they still haven't recovered from their loss of 24, and now with House and all their shows pretty much underperforming, they need a hit show very badly.
I don't see how they can end the series without killing-off House. He's already done and been through so much that just having him quit doesn't seem a likely finale. If he can go through rehab and prison, among other things, and the show continues, then death is the only thing I can think of to nail the coffin shut.
Maybe they'll renew Lie to Me.
They don't have to end the show by ending the story.
They should end the series with a cliffhanger that will lead into the House Movie. They can call it House Party III. They can have 13 and the new tall brunette hook up, as well as resolving other issues with a cage fight between Foreman and House, and bring back Cuddy and the blonde from the early seasons.
They don't, but:
If he can be shot, and come back,
If he can quit and come back,
If he can overdose and come back,
If he can go to rehab and come back,
If he can leave the country and come back,
If he can go to prison and come back,
Then I find it hard to believe they can justify any other type of physical leave. We all know House loves puzzles, and loves his job... the only way I see for that to permanently end is for him to die. Otherwise, there's always the open possibility of coming back.
Now, the producers may want to leave it open-ended on purpose, for a chance to come back later. But that wouldn't make for an honest series finale. So I wouldn't view it as such.
The show will end with House waking up from a dream, smiling to the camera and saying "everyone lies". The END.
The fact that he's come back from so much is my basis for believing that the show has to end with "something he can't come back from".
That's the structural basis of all serialized shows as opposed to "epic" shows, though. (think of shounen)
Well it's said that Olivia Wilde will return in the season finale. Maybe her Huntington's have progressed so far that House will honor what he said and be the one to kill her. And that will make such an impact on House that he leaves for good this time. Or it might be like you say. House dies and Olivia comes back to honor House at his funeral or something.
Shit i can't wait until the finale. But at the same times it makes me sad since it won't be anymore House.
That would tie things up nicely, but I'd like to see Cuddy and what's her face the blonde also make an appearance. Though I'd hate it if they had the typical scenario where House dies, and all these people from shows past make appearances to reminisce and eulogize at his funeral.
Also, reruns of House are very fulfilling.
Cuddy won't be making a return, but it's been confirmed that 13, Masters and possibly Kutner will (in some form). Is anyone still watching this? There are only four episodes left and I am psyched with the way they left things off.
I'm still watching the show. I didn't care much for last night's episode...or this entire season, for that matter. I don't know why the writers decided to make house into such an asshole this season.
Might be so we won't miss him as much once he's gone.
I'm not a huge fan of this season myself either, but I am hoping for the best. I quite enjoy House being a complete dick, though. And judging by the next episode's previews, it looked like he would not be portrayed as an asshole.
Ah, good point.
I know he's supposed to be a dick, but I think they've carried it too far into "monster" territory (by "monster" I mean someone completely devoid of any soul). I haven't seen any previews for next week's episode...and sometimes I like that.
What others see as devoid of any soul, I see as completely passionate and emotional. House is merely portrayed in a way that most people would not act or think to act (also, quite obviously overboard for entertainments sake). You see this in his facial expressions, you see it in his odd and sometimes over the top behavior. House cares, but he just does not care the way you do. I'd wager to say that he has a 'soul' (but that's an entirely different subject). I just think he is compelled to release his anger, sadness and disappointment in an unhealthy way. It's like trying to kick a nasty drug habit. You really have to want to change and then make the effort. But you also have to realize that you're going to stumble on the way, have setbacks, etc. House is not at that point in his life yet, as made painfully apparent by the writers. And considering the fact there are only four episodes left, I cannot see him wanting to make that change.
The fact that they would dare to make our anti-hero the kind of person that people cannot relate to or hate or don't understand is brilliant. I get it, anyway. It's also understandable that the audience would want to find some sort of "soul" to connect to on their own terms within House's character, but there is a deviation there and that is why I love this show.
Anyone catch the series finale? It's still sinking in.
I watched it. I actually like how they ended the series.
I'm starting to get used to the fact with how they ended it as well, and as I'm talking to my friends about it, I realize I like it. I think it was perfect.
Just watched the last episode there, really enjoyed it, great ending. Sad to see it's over after 8 seasons though :(
Ultimate bromance ending, i liked it.
Why wasn't Cuddy in the episode though?
She left the series after season 7 and that whole shpeel between her and House, never came back into season 8. She was in the look-back episode "Swan Song" and made some commentary on the whole thing, which was nice.
