Chocolate and Howling at the Moon

I'm sorry! I know this is in, um, QUESTIONABLE TASTE. But I think it's sort of funny.

I dislike Richie. I suspect this is mostly due to my extreme aversion to vicarious embarrassment, a condition to which I am annoyingly prone. And Richie's good for inducing a lot of it.

But I love the clan denial red-shirters. (Wah, their webpage is gone.) I've never had any interaction with them personally, but just from looking at their web presence, I admire how cheerfully and completely they deny canon which they find stupid and hurtful. And the like complete mythology and community they built up around their denial is wonderful.

This icon is so Richie-appropriate. I find it annoying, embarrassing, and kind of funny, just like Richie.

In conclusion: Methos/Byron 4 EVAR! ::waves alcohol-soaked flag attached to a cane:: Theirloveissorevisionisthistory!

Preparing for my Methos vid, I'm rewatching all the Methos episodes. Yay.

"Methos"
( I can go with this outfit here, Duncan, okay. )

"Finale, pt 1"
( But this one. I...I don't think I ever would have thought of that. )

Some of Amanda's outfits are really odd as well, so I should give him a break. Maybe fashion trends are too speedy and annoying for immortals to keep up with. Heh, Methos tries to go out dancing, but the last time he's been was in the '70s, and his disco suit is all wrong...

This time around, I have to say, Joe is *much hotter*, Methos is (if possible) even more of a beautiful sex god, Duncan makes me want to stab him with a fork most of the time, and Richie is wow okay hotter than he ever seemed to me before, but still *unbelievably* annoying. If he would just keep his mouth shut I think I could stand some Richie porn. Amanda is...Amanda. Sometimes I think she's the sanest character on that show. But I'm glad I only ever watched like 2 episodes of the Raven, because holy totemistic absurdity, Batman. ::pets imaginary Methos Chronicles episodes::

I love House. Don't get me wrong. But it kind of pisses me off how he makes such a big deal out of his leg. Or maybe how the writers make such a big deal about his leg.

I mean look at Joe from Highlander. Here's a man who's actually missing *both* legs, and he barely even acknowledges it. I mean, the writers show us the story of how he lost them and how it affected his life. And we see him with his cane and obvious prostheses all the time. But neither Joe nor the writers ever make a big deal out of it. Life goes on. (Even dystopia!Joe's problems seem to center more around his booze and disillusionment than his wheelchair.) Joe still keeps up with Mac fine, sometimes to Mac's chagrin (witness the Scotland trip).

It's just. Granted, House is an expert on medicine. But Joe is an expert on *immortals*. Now tell me who has more of a reason to feel irrationally inadequate?

(But maybe there's a time factor as well. House only got his injury a few years ago, and Joe's legs have been gone at least 20 years.)

I guess what I'm trying to say is that while Joe may be physically even more crippled than House, I don't feel that he's nearly as *emotionally* crippled. And maybe both House and the writers are trying to externalize House's emotional disability by making such a big deal out of his leg.

Sometimes though, I just want to tell House to quit being bitchy and get over it. ::channels inner Stacy::

Go open a bar somewhere with Wilson. ::smiles::
