This season begins with a woman in an office talking on her phone to some dude who seems a little effeminate, so it's probably her boyfriend. Apparently she's had some sort of a cold that won't go away, and the boyfriend wants to take her to some Star Wars thing. An effeminate nerd. She sure can pick 'em. Maybe she should work on company time instead of just making plans to blow off said boyfriend. And I say this as most of you (myself included) will be reading this while at work. As it turns out, she doesn't even like Star Wars, and she's only pretended to like it for her boyfriend, whose name I believe is "Babe" because she says it like a thousand times. Ok, three. Close. So maybe he doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does. But he probably knows her in the Biblical sense! Does anybody even say that anymore?

Sorry, Babe. I was only pretending to like fem dudes, too. Butch it up.

Sidenote, after this woman hands a piece of paper to a co-worker woman, I begin to notice that the camera-work is bizarre. It's got all kinds of zooms and shifts, like it's now being shot documentary-style, a la The Office or Arrested Development. Funny thing, I don't think this is supposed to be documentary style. (Also, in this woman's office setting, it seems a little to Office-y.) I just wondered if anybody else noticed this.

Anyways, as the woman is still getting out of a date with her boyfriend, he hangs up pissed off. He calls back to apologize, and suddenly she feels the building shaking. She asks if there's an earthquake, and the boyfriend, outside her building feels nothing. She's on some crazy hallucinogens because the building is shaking. Or maybe she isn't, because the building then collapses completely. An interesting development, but not really any sort of medical mystery to begin the new season. (Also, I like how the cars in the back of the parking lot, like two rows away from this dude's car, are not covered in dust, but his car definitely is.)

The Little Prius That Could

So, watching the credits, I noticed that Jennifer Morrison's name was still there (along with the other cast members from last season). What's the deal House? Well, when we see House, he's rocking out on a Gibson flying V. Cuddy comes in and tells him about the girl. Apparently the gas line exploded under the building, which caused it to collapse. She's got some fractured bones, which House believes just might have been caused by the building falling on her, but she's also got a crazy high fever, and she's the only victim with such a fever. House says he can't take the case because he doesn't have a team. Well, you're in luck House, because Cuddy's got resumes! House refuses to hire a team based on an interview because he doesn't know if he'll like having sex with them. I just paraphrased that to say what I wanted it to, that's not exactly what he said. But it's slightly more interesting. House is playing some Van Halen riffs, but as I'm not averse in most of the stylings of Van Halen, I'll save myself the embarrassment of trying to look like I know what I'm talking about. Well, in this case at least. Cuddy goes to unplug House's amp. What the fuck House? A Gibson with a Fender amp? There's no way he should be using anything but a Marshall. /guitar rant
