It's like the Anti-Sorkin
Why David Shore is better than the Sorkin.

The West Wing had a meta-episode attacking online fandom, which continued with even more bitterness in Studio 60.

Meanwhile, House kidnaps the star of his favorite soap, whom he has diagnosed because he watches the show so intently. It could only be better if House has written fan fiction, but I don't think they're that meta.

In America...

By the way, and I hope I don't offend, but the new Punkass cast is just not as middle fingery as the original group. They're more indignant than pissed off, y'know?

Huh. Probably here too. This means that there's no longer a conflict between the House Party and class, but now there's a conflict between the House Party and Stitch n' Bitch. I'll have to resort to watching it online.

Oh hey, no offense taken. I shall try to bump up the righteous outrage a bit. I've been too swamped with school to post much, but I've got some trollbait planned for the 15th.

Trollbait! Yayyyyyyy!

Lisa Kansas is holding her own, I'll admit.

The site is blocked by websense at work now so I can only read the posts through google reader, and not the comments.

I have to agree. In comparison they're lite beer. Probably worn down by the reality show competition that got them in.

For a moment I thought you meant fan fiction written about House.

The current story arc involving House, Wilson, and Amber is total fan service to the House/Wilson shippers. (A group I have to count myself among ever since I read this a couple of months ago. Yes, I'm pimping fanfic man-smut.)

It's tremendous fun watching Amber and House duel over the fair maiden Wilson. Wilson and House even discuss these issues openly! Can't ask for more than that, at least not on broadcast TV.

ETA: Is there a House fandom site you'd recommend? I should just admit my mild obsession with enjoyment of the show and hang out with fellow sufferers.

I'm not a big fansite person, but I did stumble across one where the discussion is driven by posts which are tangental cartoons about house.

Alas, I found it once then lost it, but someone might know it if you ask the web at large.

The cartoons are an unusual approach, but why not? I'll take a look around, thanks!

OK, so I missed it because I was watching Dirty Jobs.

He diagnosed him from a facial tic, didn't he?
