character revelation

[johncomic]

Last night Sharon and I were skimming through the episode descriptions in the listings for upcoming TV programs, and we noticed that House was “a Cuddy episode”. Sharon said “Oh joy” with a detectable amount of sarcasm.

I said to her, “You don't like Cuddy?”

To which she replied, “I don't actually like any character on that show.”

And in that instant it struck me like a thunderclap as I consciously realized for the first time: neither do I.

Astonishing to think that I've been watching House for years and never noticed that aspect of it until now.

“you are willing to accept it, because you already like him, and you want to think well of him if you can”

True. Grudgingly and with reservations in my left brain, but in the end willing. An example of the slack-cutting I mentioned before.
