Powerpoint Review Of Risky Business

[damigella]

What I liked

• House's rant against patriotism. Extra points for mention of Uganda. Reminded me why I watch this show at all.

• House grabbing Foreman's butt and the latter's lack of reaction, showing that sexual harassment isn't about sex but power.

• House helping Parks. Wilson helping Parks.

• Wilson seeing through House's motives and telling him so.

• Park asking Wilson about House.

• Park keeping her job.

• House speaking Mandarin.

• House making Cousin Itt joke.

• Andrews being wrong.

• No more ortho. I hated the noise.



What I didn't like

• The superficial treatment of the whole social issue.

• Park having to excuse and humiliate herself (instead of defending her actions rationally) in order to keep her job.

• Adams making House do extra clinic.

• Adams criticizing the POTW then pressuring his daughter.

• Adams smashing ortho. I don't accept "but X told me to" as an excuse even from my nine-years-old.

• Adams.




What I didn't get

• House stealing fron Wilson.

• House making Adams smash ortho.

I tried to fix these in a fic.

I think I pretty much agree with everything here, although I'm in the minority in that I thought the final scene where Adams smashed everything was class-looking lol. I thought it was more to do with the whole getting back at Ortho guy (even though he didn't do anything wrong). That said, I gradually realised after readings different people's opinions on LJ how much that says about House. I wonder what that says about me... lol!

But yeah, I'm not liking Adams at all. I did in the prison, but at the same time, I liked that episode cos it was isolated like the Mayfield opener. I think if the nice blonde doctor from Mayfield for eg. came to work in PTTH I'd begin to hate her too. Bring back Nolan, I say! He'll patch House's wee sanity right up.

What a nice sentence. That's certainly a very human desire... to get back at someone, especially when the someone goes on your nerves although they didn't do anything wrong. Or if it's not so human, well, at least it's two of us :).

I think I was upset only because it was medical equipment - I'd probably have reacted differently for a car or so.

Cool parallel between Adams and the Mayfield doctor. Totally agree.
