I hardly think anyone in their right mind would think of House as a hero who will slay their enemies and obey their every wish. There is nothing in the writing that even slightly suggests that. I don't know who you think is fantasizing about House falling madly in love with them. House, is after all just an imaginary TV character. Maybe some are fantasizing about the actor Hugh Laurie falling madly in love with them, but Hugh is practically the total opposite of Gregory House, so that takes the logic right out of your post, now doesn't it. ;-) 648563@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 Nov 2007 14:48:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/11/04/092631.php#comment-648310 house is a great show, a lot of people are working hard just to pleased us who are watching it so if u dont like it then don't watch it simple as that... 648310@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 Nov 2007 10:52:53 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/11/04/092631.php#comment-647995 bliffle -- It seems that you don't like the character -- why watch the show if you dislike him so much? 647995@blogcritics.org Mon, 5 Nov 2007 01:36:09 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/11/04/092631.php#comment-647865 Piffle. House is no hero. He's a drug-addled mono-maniac who ruthlessly disregards every rule and every person who gets in his way. What you think is noble rebellion is just petulant self-indulgence that you wouldn't put up with for 3 minutes if your 4 year old child did it. What you think is 'morals' or 'ethics' is nothing more than monomania expressed as a deadly consistency. He betrays every trust. Sure, women go all gooey over him because they desire a hero who will slay their enemies and ensconce them in a luxurious lifestyle. And, of course, submit to their every wish; better, anticipate their every wish. So they fantasize House falling hopelessly in love with them, and even going so far as to remember their anniversary. Not very noble. Men do the same thing, they just don't gush over it. But the homo-erotic subtext of conventional superhero stories has been written about extensively before. Such fantasies always end up in disaster. It's a well-worn path. 647865@blogcritics.org Sun, 4 Nov 2007 15:03:07 EST
