Things I am making a game of while I catch up on House (I am now up to 2x07):
* Checking the timestamp on the episode whenever a diagnosis is made. It doesn't matter how confident House is or how much sense it makes. If it's not at least thirty-three minutes in, he's wrong.
* Pretending Cameron was supposed to be on Grey's Anatomy, but got lost on the way and ended up on this show instead. I wanted to like her, as misogyny in fandom has annoyed me to the point where I automatically like female characters on general principle, but she is such a twit. I could totally see her hanging out with Izzie and Meredith. (Cristina would own her, and it would be awesome.)
* Guessing how many caning fics have been written to date.
* Guessing how many well-written caning fics have been written to date. This number is always much smaller.
* Trying to figure out why Wilson is friends with House. Seriously, what the hell? Maybe it's because I will associate Robert Sean Leonard with spineless sad Claudio until the day I die, but Wilson seems like - not the sort of person who would want to share space with a raging sociopath for more than five minutes. I can only assume that this will be addressed in some manner or another, because as it stands, what the hell?
* Speaking of Wilson, trying to dissect his personal life. I kind of love that it takes place entirely offscreen and we have no proof that he is, was, or has ever been married. I am familiar enough with spoilers to know that this changes, but for now it's like a running gag that isn't actually supposed to be funny.
* Taking a mathematical approach to working out exactly how many lifetimes of amazing karma House has built up to avoid having been fired so often his resume is heavier than the Bible, or being sued out of existence.
* Waiting for House to fuck up and NOT be able to make up for it by being right. I am not going to hold my breath.
