selenakSo, with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bimo lobbying for Nip/Tuck, rozk advertisting Gray's Anatomy and shezan during her last visit raving about House, it was just a question of time before I gave in and watched a doctor show for the first time since eons. (I think the last one was in the early 90s, the one with Martin Shaw?). As it turns out, the one I went for was House, which I'll freely admit is because of futuresoon's very amusing crossover with Heroes. So I've now watched 11 episodes and am very entertained, but one thing confuses me: through fannish osmosis, I gathered some fans have a problem with Cameron? And I can't figure out what it might be. Fannish hate of a female character is unfortunately all too common, but it's usually either the leading female character, the hero's love interest or the female character replacing the hero's love interest, Cameron fits none of those descriptions, so what are people's issues with her, or did those arise in later seasons because of things I haven't watched yet?
Anyway, back to being entertained: Hugh Laurie is as good as advertised, which doesn't surprise since he always was in all the other films I've seen him in, I'm trying to figure out whether that's a young Jack Coleman in the General Hospital episodes House is watching, when Cuddy first showed up I went "oh! It's Joanne from Profit! Awesome!" and I love the scenes between her and House, Wilson, Cameron, Chase and Foreman manage to be all discernable from each other by dialoge and characterisation, not just looks, which sadly isn't always the case in ensemble shows, and I like them all. Oh, and when Elizabeth Mitchell, aka Juliet from Lost, showed up as a nun, I had some weird crossover flashes. The Sherlock Holmes parallels aren't as blatant as I was led to believe, but I can see where this idea is coming from, given House's presentation of his deductions, the painkiller addiction as a parallel to Holmes' cocaine addition, and the piano playing as a parallel to the violin.
Will watch more.
