Yeah, I think you need to do another lap on your rollerblades and come back to this.

It's stupid. Never got what it was about.
There are so many things wrong with you.

A 46-year-old native of Oxford and graduate of Cambridge, he has impressed the creators of "House," who quickly geared the show further in the direction of Mr. Laurie's irascible portrayal. David Shore created the character as an exemplar of rationality, unafraid of putting fellow doctors through hell to reach a diagnosis.House snipes at one resident: "You know what's worse than useless? Useless and oblivious." When a colleague dares to snipe at him for being "cold, uncaring, distant," House raises an eyebrow dismissively. "Don't put me on a pedestal," he says.The Socratic method was more a part of Mr. Shore's law-school training than might exist in medical education. "It's certainly a very effective tool to tear people apart, to rip them down, to build them up," Mr. Shore said. "That's what House is all about."

It's also interesting to see his chemistry with the fellow doctor as well...there has to be something in the works with them besides just this odd tension buddy relationship.

Just pick up Season 1 on DVD. Do it.
"She Has a Thing for Older Doctors. Especially Jerks."by Joyce MillmanThe New York Times, Sunday, March 26, 2006"House" might have been conceived as a medical show, but it quickly evolved into a delicious gothic romance, topped by a swirl of chick-lit froth. The acerbic, quirkily handsome doc (Hugh Laurie) with a bad leg is the sort of haunted Byronic figure who stirs in women the urge to nurture and redeem. To quote doctor house, in an example of the show's self-referential sarcasm: "I'm not sad, I'm complicated. Chicks dig that."It is Dr. Allison Cameron's painful, yet kind of pleasurable, duty to play Jane Eyre to House's Edward Rochester. The only woman on house's staff, Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) is 20-something, brilliant and lovely in a shy-mouse way. While in college, Cameron married a man dying of cancer; she is still atoning for her failure to save him. She wears man-tailored vests over girlish puff-sleeved blouses, like body armor over fragile feelings.Unlike the misanthropic house, Camerone believes in the goodness of humanity. She is empathetic to a fault, the campion of the weak and helpless. She can be humorless and judgmental. SHe's a bit of a drip. But even if she's hardly a strong female role model, Cameron is appealingly flawed and awkward. She's Bridget Jones with a brain. She tries hard, yet falls short.In an episode last season, Cameron haltingly told house: "People dismiss me, because I'm a woman, because I'm pretty, because I'm not aggressive. My opinions shouldn't be rejected just because people don't like me." It was a disarming moment. And House fell for it, clumsily reassuring her that "people" do like her. Camerone pounced. "Do you? I have to know," she asked. Cameron was in love with her boss! Why didn't you see it coming? In the pause that followed, House, the authority figure, leaned on his cane, blue eyes blazing. Cameron faced him with bright hopefulness. The sexual tension was exquisite. "No," he finally replied."Cameron pursued House anyway, with a tenacity that veered close to sexual harassment. Near the end of last season, she quit her job because he wouldn't admit that he loved her, then agreed to return if he'd go on a date with her. On their date (the pivotal episode "Love Hurts"), Cameron wore her heart on her sleeve, confident that emotional honesty could penetrate House's defenses. She prodded him to express his feelings about her. Bad idea.House: "You live under the delusion that you can fix everything that isn't perfect. That's why you married a man who was dying of cancer. You don't love, you need. And now that your husband is dead, you're looking for another charity case.""I'm twice your age," he continued. "I'm not great looking. I'm not charming. I'm not even nice. "What I am is what you need. I'm damaged."House's words cut to the core of Cameron's motivation and personality. They also acknowledge the hold his walking-wounded allure has over the show's female fans. It still isn't clear whether House is really uninterested in Cameron, or if he rejected her to protect her from his cynicism. But the ambiguity only enhances his mystique.This season, Cameron has pulled back from House. Trying to shed her goody-goody image, she took crystal meth, became a wild-haired minx, and had a one-night stand with a fellow resident, Robert Chase. As any reader of chick-lit (or Gothic romances) can see, Cameron is now at the point of the story where the heroine is determined to get over the unattainable object of her longing. And just as she does...
