I found this guide to “every episode of House ever” by Michael Swaim very interesting, for a number of reasons. First of all, I don’t think that House has been following a formula per se. In fact, I recently wrote about how I wish House would just stick to the original formula and stop trying […]

I was just about to give up on Grey’s. I was tired of too many lackluster episodes, of Meredith whining, of hoping Derek would see the light, of Lexie being too cute, of George being too negative, of Alex being too damaged.

It looks like the viewers and the network don’t care, since beyond the 13 episodes that have already been shot, no more will be ordered. Sounds like a cancellation to me. Anyway, from Eli surviving the aneurysm surgery to Nate inheriting the […]
