House rules, and the state of my icons.

ldhensonI watched the first episode of House on DVD...well, I'll be adding it to my TV schedule. Making your main character such a tough guy to get along with is a tricky thing to try to pull off; I suspect that had they cast anyone else, I might not be watching, but Hugh Laurie is magnetic. And there are enough chinks in the armor to keep him intriguing.
I like the pacing of the medical explanations--fast enough to keep me interested, slow enough that I could keep up. I really enjoyed following the "mystery" from start to finish. Which is quite a good thing really, as this is the first medical drama I've been inclined to watch.
Rest of the cast seems to have gotten off to a good start, too...plus they're just lovely to look at. I'd like to see where they take them from here.
I do wish they'd let Hugh keep his native accent. But if that's the price I have to pay for having him on my TV every week, then so be it.

You know how I complain regularly, and in fact did so again just very recently, that space for 50 icons is not nearly enough? Well, I've been sitting at 48 icons for the past week, with another two icons about to be pulled.
And I have nothing I'm dyin' to fill the four empty spaces with. In my first honeymoon fling with Sky Captain, I churned out 32 WOT icons--as far as I can remember--in 6 weeks. Half of those were for other people, the others for me. And now I seem to be tapped out for icons about anything.
I'll be pulling my Depp-centric icons because, strangely, Johnny has for me gone back to the "Hot but Not" category of men whose looks are undeniably good but who otherwise don't do anything for me. (I know. Please don't lynch me.) I still appreciate him as an actor, but my days of drooling over him are, for now, at an end.
