I say 'supposed to' because of the recent 'ugly is the new beautiful' trend in popular culture which I really dislike.

    Regardless, as Animeniax said, she is open to criticism unlike most of us that did not pick her profession. Just like professional sports players who do not perform are open to criticism.
    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, 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.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    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.

    Is that a reference to "Lie to Me"?

    Does something about the show indicate that the series will end in "something he can't come back from" or is that just your interpretation of the structure of the series?

    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".
