So the list of Emmy nominations is out, and there were a few I was pleased to see. For instance:

Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Masi Oka (Yatta!) for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series
Heroes and House were both nominated for Outstanding Drama Series
Deadliest Catch was nominated for Outstanding Nonfiction Series
Project Runway and Top Chef were both nominated for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program
Eureka, Heroes, and Rome were all nominated for Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series

Also, Deadliest Catch, Project Runway, Rome, The Lost Room were all nominated for several technical awards as well.

I was not so thrilled to see David Morse (as Michael Tritter on House) nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series. Though I suppose it's a credit to his acting that I found his character to be so spectacularly annoying that I hated that arc with a passion beyond expression.

What is it with TV scheduling lately? Nothing is on in a consistent fashion any more. Shows start randomly at any time of year (for instance, Blood Ties which is starting this Sunday and of course conflicts with The Dresden Files), and there are gaps of weeks and sometimes months in a season (I'm looking at you Bones, Ghosthunters, Heroes, House, Jericho, and Stargate: Atlantis), and they change days and times randomly (too many to count!), and sometimes a particular episode will run 3 minutes past the hour and screw up the tape (Heroes last week), or consistently starts 3 minutes early (NCIS) so if you're watching something else before it, you invariably miss the teaser.

How the hell is anyone supposed to watch TV any more, unless they have a Tivo that automatically catches everything?

Whew. Okay. Got that out of my system.

Now, on to pleasanter things. 'House' spoilers behind the cut. )

ETA: For you David McCallum or Torchwood fans out there, here's a rec: [livejournal.com profile] jadesfire2808 has written a short, well-characterized Torchwood/Sapphire & Steel crossover. You can find it on her LJ here.

Comments and a question-- all sorta spoilery, so only look behind the cut if you've seen Torchwood eps 1x12 Captain Jack Harkness and 1x13 End of Days. Read more... )
