Marc Blucas on HOUSE
So, now it’s no secret that I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In fact, it’s pretty much common knowledge. So imagine my surprise to see Marc Blucas gracing us with his sexy presence on my current favorite show, House, MD. Which now puts my Buffy Sightings count up to six.
Blucas plays an ex-military man who believes he is suffering from “Gulf War Syndrome.” House is baffled by his presence because he dreamt about his patient saving his life over in Iraq. So, while trying to solve the puzzle of what’s wrong with Mr. Military Man and who he is, House is also still struggling with his addiction to Vicodin, which now, has forced him to not be able to urinate.
This, at first glance was an episode much like any other: the case takes 40 minutes to solve, leaving 20 minutes for mindless banter and ridiculous flirting. Chase and Cameron are still having sex. Foreman still doesn’t believe it. And Wilson still provides House with presriptions and disapproving looks. Cuddy, however still warding off House’s advances, makes a psuedo-throwaway comment about how she and House had spent some time together, and that it was more than just friendship at the time….
This was the first of the final 8 episodes of the season, so I’m expecting great things to come.
The number of Buffy actors I’ve spotted on House..well, I’ve lost count. And after last night’s episode w/ not only Cassie but also Spike’s mom Anne, this can’t be a coincidence. Right? Did a Buffy producer go to House? A writer? Casting Director? It’s a mystery that must be solved or I will surely go insane!
