random tv show observation of the day

[thatotherperv]

House has two canid skulls on his desk. right up at the front. as far as I know they've never been explained (or even referenced) canonically, and I cannot, for the life of me, create a narrative that explains their presence.

I mean, it's canon that House isn't (or arguably wasn't, before Hector) a dog person, so they're not like...a macabre souvenir of a childhood pet or something (which would be so like him). he's a geek so it's not a shock to me that he *has* them...but it's definitely odd that he has them in his office, much less displayed conspicuously.

it's been a subject of my fixation ever since I noticed it :)




in other House-related news, I was about to do a poll on people's opinions on s6, but then I realized my paid account expired and I haven't renewed it yet. I argue with myself over whether this is a waste of money. because I know it is. but i WANTS IT.

aside from poll-blocking me, which makes the baby jesus cry, they revoked my precious userpics. it's like extortion, I'm telling you. meanie-heads.

Maybe it's a tongue in cheek reference to how it's never lupus?

HA! that would be *awesome*. that never occurred to me.

Sometimes, I think the House writers just like to do weird shit. There's a lot of stuff that just doesn't make sense on that show, and... you know... some of us are probably smarter than they are, and so we try to look for meaning where there isn't any :)

And yes, damn it, just give in renew your paid account. You're right, it's a complete waste of money, but I've become addicted. The userpics are nice. Mmmmm, comfort.
