damelolaFor those of you who will continue to watch House next season:
WHY?
This is not intended as an attack, I swear. You know I don't pick fights with my friends (random trolls and evil people on the other hand...). But how are you justifying it to yourselves? Is it just a case of 'I've started so I have to finish'? I mean, I know some of y'all would watch snuff for to Hugh Laurie if you had to, and I can't claim I'm any different when it comes to my women.
But I'm genuinely interested to hear what the defence is to the blatant misogyny (and/or casual racism), sharp decline in writing and all-round character assassination (including, most importantly, that of House himself)? What is it that makes you say that's not how it is or it doesn't matter because. Like I say, not picking a fight but I feel like I've only seen one side of this so far and I really don't know how the people not speaking up about this are rationalising the showrunners' decisions.
I'm putting this public and enabling anon so you don't have to feel awkward about it all. Look forward to hearing any and all sides of the arguments outside of the general comm hysteria.

on 2011-05-20 01:18 am (UTC)I don't know if you were familiar with this but years ago I always watched the Rosie O'Donnell show. One day she had on Tom Selleck, I think he had recently been made president or spokesperson for the NRA. They got on the discussion of guns and stuff. I forget exactly what was said, it was so long ago, but I felt he was attacking her. She was asking questions and stuff and he was ... he just wasn't nice. He had been on, I believe it was the Today show and Matt Lauer had interviewed him. Rosie was asking him pretty much the same questions but because she expressed a different opinion and tried to have a conversation about it, he got rather nasty. It was a very uncomfortable interview. She apologized to him at the end for making him uncomfortable because by then he had started to just ignore her. I went online to the forum after and was SHOCKED that some people were taking his side saying that Rosie was the nasty person! I wondered, did they watch the same show! It was on all the entertainment news shows later and he said Rosie was wrong and shouldn't have asked him the questions and then he said he was still waiting for an apology. She was on and apologized again and couldn't believe it was all being blown up the way it was.
But this was a perfect example of everyone seeing the same thing but coming away with a different perspective.
I personally never watched another Tom Selleck show or movie again!
And it's a shame TS is in Blue Bloods because I like Donnie Wahlberg and would definitely be watching if not for him!
That was just the example I forgot to mention.
