Last night I saw the last three episodes from last (first) season of House, M.D. (Or just "House" if you prefer...) I came to this show while it was in re-runs, and had not yet seen these last three. I love that my library stocks popular TV shows. I wouldn't have seen these episodes if they didn't. I wouldn't have seen Firefly. Both brilliant.

I have liked Hugh Laurie for a long time. I think he is f***ing brilliant in House. If you also like him in House, I would recommend the movie Peter's Friends.

The penultimate story in the first season ("Three Stories") is beyond doubt one of the finest "hours" of television I have seen in a long time. It was by turns hilarious, poignant, frustrating, outrageous, and totally amazing. And it has Carmen Miranda.

I am doubly glad that I got to finish all the first season shows, in order for continuity, before the next new second season episode, due in a little over two weeks, because the dynamic House has with his ex looks very different after seeing these last few episodes.
