House

Earlier tonight USA showed the pilot episode of House. I hadn't seen it since it first aired two years ago, so I watched a few minutes. What was striking about it was how different the pilot was shot; it was, basically, a black and white with various shades of orange and brown show. I'd completely forgotten that, and now I'm curious to see whether the shift to more naturalistic filming took place immediately afterward or as the first season progressed.

It was also striking to see Jennifer Morrison not look like she'd snap in twain if a stiff wind caught her at the proper angle. Why do these actresses emaciate themselves like that? It's just plain depressing.
