bagheera_sanNew Fandom Love!
Ever since I saw the first House icon on my friendslist I had the feeling that this might be a show I could get into (later on, this feeling was based on actual content, not just my shallow appreciation of House's looks). Then in Australia I caught my first episode of House (and Grey's Anatomy, too.)
Now I've finally come around to downloading episodes, but so far only the second season. I love the show, but it's a totally different kind of love than for, say, SG:A. It's not squeeing glee I feel when I see an episode. No, when this show hits, it hits much closer to the heart, somehow, while at the same time, since I don't identify with House, I can watch it with more detachment. And quite often it makes me sad, or melancholy. Hmm.. I think watching Buffy was a bit like that.
This was an experiment in reading fanfic before watching a show (I've done the same with SG:A).
I love House, unconditionally, and people convey him astonishingly well in fics for such a difficult character. I like Cuddy, but either this is a season one thing or a lot of writers don't really write her well - my expectations were very different (also, for some reason I though she was blonde :D). I don't care much about Cameron (though she has her moments, like in that episode where's she's stoned) or Foreman, but I somehow like Chase, especially when I catch his Australian accent (the fact that I can tell someone's English is accented is new and fantastic for me). But the biggest surprise for me are Stacey and Wilson. Because while I've read mostly House/Wilson and there's excellent fic, now that I've seen the show I'm actually inclined to like House/Stacey better. Maybe because House pines so beautifully for her. Really, House's whole character concept is like one big kink for me. Bitter, tortured, brilliant, bastardly, slightly crazy, unethical and aware of it, lovesick. And, um, sexy. :D
Also, I think the series ruled out at least one career option: medicine. Just, no. It's cool, with all the theory and competence and helping and strange words - but there isn't an episode where I haven't hidden my face in abject horror. And it gave me bloodclot-phobia.
What I would love now: 1) more episodes. 2) really, really well-written House/Stacey. 3)House/Chase, to indulge my shallowness.4) the soundtrack. Recs welcome.
