I'm hearing things -- well, not really hearing but... BWAHAHA I made a funny! -- about last night's House episode, which I missed.
I have no clue what the storyline is other than some deaf teen got a cochlear implant against his will courtesy of the very courteous Dr. House... I got bored three words into this recap, but the general gist of the things I'm hearing?
- One, that the teenager who got implanted got it activated the very next day. Wow. Magic.
- Then he was able to understand the things he was hearing within minutes. Fuck magical. This is miraculous. (Has anybody ever seen At First Sight? Val Kilmer, Mira Sorvino? Blind guy gets some procedure done to his eyes, but can't make hide nor hair of what he's seeing 'cause he's never seen before. Hello, logic!)
- And I don't know how this comes about, and I don't really want to, but apparently later he gets upset and he rips the freaking thing out of his own head. Agh. Gory.
I'm not gonna comment on the ridiculousness of a show I've yet to see when my buddy Nabeel (a fellow cuer who's about to start his own CI journey) has already done it for me, other than that it'd be nice to hear about a deaf story in TV these days that doesn't have the CI at its' center, 'cause talking about CI's all day long? Hello, ennui.
I am gonna say, however, that I'm pretty freakin' happy I didn't think to watch it last night -- I usually watch it every week. Coincidence? I think not. My night was pretty dang blissful, thank you, without having a freakin' TV show piss me off, and that in itself was a gift from the gods. Hello, divine intervention!
