On parting note, three
Jun. 2nd, 2006 02:21 amE mentioned that House M.D was probably one of the most depressing shows around. I don't think so.
With the exception of documentaries and reality tv (and sometimes even that, but reality tv is like the Grey Lands), tv shows are by default optimistic. House doesn't tell you anything you didn't know when you woke up today. He just rubs things in your face. Personally, I find the series a too-happy one because most cases get solved, it paints a picture that one can violate rules and regulations and get away with it simply on the account of intelligence and being somehow more or less right (sooner or later) and how you can be a total ass and still have someone to stick by you.
But it's tv, you say. Hence the default status.
(And while most are disturbed by the Robot/Cameron thing? The truly disturbing thing was the patient's intestines, I tell you. They look like sausages when they went "WHEE! FREEDOM!"
... sausages are made traditionally made by stuffing meat into the intestines of animals.)
