The House Always Wins

This afternoon we watched the DVRed House MD rerun when the misanthropic cripple goes into the stairwell to try to outrun his ex's wheelchairbound husband. I said to [livejournal.com profile] qtrhorserider, "The Dalek fallacy."

Edit I swear, to write a House MD all you have to do is find two medical conditions with near-identical symptoms each of whose treatment will kill the patient if he has the other instead.

Does one really watch House for the plot? I thought it was all about the characters.

I bet there are semi-failed med students who make their livings in Hollywood consulting for medical dramas in that manner.
