Jeeves & Wooster, episode 1

[timepiececlock]

Thanks to mswyrr.



-Interesting animated opening.
-Dude, that's the back of Hugh Laurie's head! I have the power to recognize the back of Hugh Laurie's head!
-I think he has the same exact haircut as House. That's funny.
-Speechless. Very un-House-like.
-stumbling around wasted... now that's familiar.
-Wow he's young. He looks like 25, 30 at very best, though it's hard to tell because the cheek-creases around his mouth probably started developing when he was 10, judging by the shape of his face.
-Dude, totally Brit accent. I knew that of course, but it's weird.
-He's SMILING. Weirder!
-You know, guys, all the "I say!"s and morning cheerfulness is not doing anything to break down my television-created British stereotypes.
-Dude, it's been too long since I got new Doctor Who episodes, I'm forgetting how to understand quick-spoken British accents!
-I keep watching Bertie and thinking "This is House doing an impression of someone to make fun of them" and expecting him to suddenly cease his immitation and spit out something acerbic.
-What year is this set in?
-HOUSE IS SMILING. AGAIN WITH THE WEIRD!
-British humor: I love it but it also goes around my head. Not over my head, around it. Like a dodge.
-Does everyone say "I say!"? Is that like a cultural requirement?
-So is Bertie Wooster just a rich kid bachelor who never works and spends all his time time socializing?
-Didn't Xander call Giles "Jeeves" on BtVS?
-Bertie's not too bright, is he? Jeeves already controlls him with a bit of reverse psychology.
-I'm kind of bored.
-mswyrr, I'm totally in agreement about the asexualness of Bertie. He's not fuckable like House is.
-Dude, he just pushed a little kid off a bridge. And the little kid swims better than he does.
-walking wet and scowling and rolling his eyes-- that's familiar.
-Definitely not too bright.
-He's kind of ditsy isn't he?
-Why is it all old family matriarchs seem the same in every British show or movie I've seen? All overbearing and stifiling.


...and here's where my computer's power source quit on me again. Stupid thing.

I'll finish watching the first episode later. I'm behind on my music pirating.

random: I NEED HOUSE ICONS. Clever and funny ones.

Or, dude, CROSSOVER HOUSE ICONS! That would be awesome. What dialogue could you cross House with? Jossverse is tried and true, always good for a laugh. Then there's movies of course.

I still want to see an episode / read a fanfic where House meets John C.McGinley's doctor character on Scrubs. I've only seen about 12 episodes of Scrubs from scattered seasons, but his character is House's kindred soul. I'm telling' ya. They even have similar hair.

I was all "WuhHUH?" too, but it helped that I didn't know it'd be a vampire fic going in, I just knew it'd be a dark fic (ruined that surprise for you, sorry). But reading it... it's pretty well done. Definitely chose the Stephen King horror route over the Anne Rice fantasy route. Naturally, it's not a very happy fic. I think characters are going to start dying very soon.

KILL CHASE FIRST!

I would love that. I'm just worried that he'll kill Wilson by accident which would be so cosmically unfair and sad. You should read it; it's only 9 chapters so far.
