SPOILERS FOR HOUSE, MD S4 FOLLOW







So, okay, maybe it's just me, but ...

Wouldn't it have been nice if House's new team didn't follow the same 'we're diverse!!' white male, white female, ethnic one, formula that his first team had followed? One I can let go, but when a second team has the exact same thing, it starts to look like a conscious effort to show just enough diversity.

I mean, how hard would it have been to have a non-white woman on the team? I know I saw an Indian woman among the competitors before House purged all the women. (Oh, we couldn't do that! She might not conform to our Western ideals of beauty!) Or, hell, two woman on the team? Or maybe more than one token non-white person? And really, as much as I didn't really like Amber, wouldn't it have been nice for the team's one female member to be someone strong and ambitious rather than someone who is clearly supposed to be sympathetic and emotive--that is, stereotypically female?

(ETA: All right, in all fairness to 13, she is not portrayed as a wimp, or a wilting flower. It's just that, compared to Amber, everyone else seems less ambitious, or at least more concerned about the feelings of others.)

I mean, I know this is just a TV show, okay? I and can understand the argument that House himself viewed Foreman as a token, and might view Kutner the same way, and selected him in the end in order to have one non-white person. I can see that argument. BUT. This is a TV show, and as such, the ultimate choice for cast is in the hands of the production staff, not one of the characters.

I know I'm probably over-reacting and over-analyzing, you don't need to tell me that. I know it's just a TV show. But TV shows to reflect the rest of society. So, yeah.

This episode parody is highly and senselessly offensive and should therefore probably not be viewed by minors, women who are pregnant, nursing or may become pregnant, or anyone, ever. It contains [highlight]: Explicit sexual references, jokes from the Simpson, jokes with the same punchlines you've seen on the real show, facetious/derisive references to the beliefs of suicide bombers, and Djinn's dubious sense of humor.
Part One of Two.

( Let's get it on! )

House 3x17, 'Fetal Position' ... So I guess it's my turn, huh? I think my view of this episode is best expressed ... through interpretive dance. And by 'interpretive' I mean 'captioned'. And by 'dance', I mean 'screencaps'.

( WARNING: this may be funny only to me )

ETA: OMFG! If you have a basic familiarity with Neon Genesis Evangelion, click here and scroll down to the third image. (then, hell, look at the rest--they're all good!)

So uhm, I guess this counts as sublimating my rage. I have 'recapped' (the quotation marks are important) 3x10, Merry Little Christmas, through the use of captioned screenshots. This is really less of a coherent progression and more a series or unrelated pitures with funny captions. (well, I think they're funny, anyway.) Well, enjoy!

( If there was a God, he wouldn't have let me near an image editor )

Look, I know it's Just a TV show, but this episode made me so friggin' angry it just defies explanation. I love these characters (okay, so Cameron irritates me a bit) but this episode made me want to wring their necks half the time. (most of this anger stems from my deep love of Wilson, so be forewarned)

( RAAAARR! HULK SMAAAAAAASH! )

*glee*

~Djinn

Djinn has a cold, and has been trying to distract herself from her general snottiness with really random crap and odd humor, and thus, I give you, The Reinterpretation of 3x01 through Captioned Screencaps!

Contains spoilers, sort of, but not really. Bears little to no resemblance to the actual episode.

( WARNING: childish genital humor and oddly timed screenshots ahead! )
