And the whole "Why do you have to negate everything?!" and "I don't know" exchange? Perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect brilliant exchange. Yay for excellent writing!! Also? Lisa Edelstein kicks every kind of ass imaginable. Squeeeeeee. ;D Totally fucking perfect exchange. She was just so real and raw and he actually flinched, just a touch. Lisa E completely kicked ass. He did flinch!! Have we ever seen that much of a painful and visible reaction out of him over something someone has said to him?! If we have, it's not been often. He so loves her. In a really fucked up way, and this is so going to end horribly horribly badly, but he does love her, in his own fucked up way.

She totally did!! When she was waiting for the baby to cry, *I* stopped breathing. And she just looked so broken after the mom decided to keep the baby. "This changes everything." "I hope so." AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! And then House comes to see her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! And she's so raw and open and hurting, and he says "you would have made a great mom," and she is just full of fire once again. "You son of a bitch!" HA!! "Why do you have to negate everything?" How often does House say "I don't know"? Not very often, I'd wager. How cool was that? And then he kisses her, and they don't use any swelling background music, it's just House and Cuddy kissing, because holy crap that's dramatic enough--no music necessary. What a great scene! I rewound it and watched it three more times. ;D ;D ;D

It was dramatic and awkward and angsty and just how it should have been. And then he runs off terrified like the little boy that he is. ;D

House wasn't upset that she was going to have a baby. He was upset that it wasn't going to be his baby.
I've been calling Cuddy his Irene Adler since second season, however much I was fond of Stacy. Cuddy's the one for them.
If he can rein in his completely self-destructive impulses for longer than ten minu...
Crap. They're doomed, aren't they?
Well, maybe we'll get some steamy hot sexings and a HouseCuddy spawn out of it.

OK, I'm way behind (House has been pretty low on my tv priority list). Watching 5.4 Birthmarks. I am so sad that Wilson got sucked back into things. But I love that the cop that arrested them didn't take any bull from House. "There must be other smart doctors." I have been WAITING for some one on the show to say that. House has such a major sense of entitlement that he doesn't deserve, but the show keeps reinforcing it. Except now, so at least they are aware of what they are doing with House. And the fellows too trying to parse out what House said like it was scripture. Like the show was trying to deconstruct House's bullshit.

"Let's make you healthy, then we'll worry about making you sober." That? Is a really great line. Kutner is just getting better and better. So, House nabbed some skin so he can do a DNA test, didn't he? To see if he is really his son. I thought he took some hair. I don't know enough about this, but I wonder if the embalming process affects the DNA integrity at all.

LOVED that line so much. ;D Ah, yes. You've hit the nail on the head, right there. Such a needy, dysfunctional, ugly yet beautiful friendship. That House/Wilson road trip reminded me of when we went to Vermont last year, and you tried to keep me from getting a hamburger I really needed.

Why do you think he was so threatened by Cuddy getting a baby? He wants to be her baby, and he doesn't want any competition.

It was only a matter of time 'til you came over to the House/Wilson side. It is so very very snarky and evil - how can you not love it? **nods** Even without the slashy goodness, it is, isn't it? [/color=red]I always go back to the very intriuging comment that Hugh Laurie made in an interview one time. He said that he felt the show was actually about Wilson; that Wilson was the hero or main character.[/color] Yes. I think even cynical House was sort of wishing he was wrong. Chase is just so very pretty. **pets his pretty pretty hair** [/quote] Interesting. So it's kind of like a Shawshank Redemption type of thing, where Red is really the protagonist even though DuFresne seems to be the main character.

Watching Lucky 13:
House and PI's conversation about pizza reminds me about how pizza is also a code word for a certain something in the Band. Heh.
Oh, hey. 13 finally gets a name.

I've sounded pretty negative in the past couple of posts. I thought I would articulate why I'm continuing to watch the show.
*It's a medical drama, so I'm bound to watch it sooner or later.
*I like all the actors and I think Hugh Laurie does a brilliant job.
*I'm intrigued by the homages to Watson and Holmes, even though I'm not that familiar with Sherlock Holmes.
*The writing has its ups and downs; it gets plus points for often creative case of the weeks and snappy dialogue. House is a fascinatingly written character. In real life I would avoid him like the plague, but it's a great character study. The House/Wilson relationship is also very interesting in that it's a platonic friendship and yet not a platonic relationship.
However, the writing gets minus points for lack of real world and medical realism. I don't buy for a second that House would really be allowed to do everything that he has done (routinely searching patients property without permission, harrassing and insulting pretty much everyone, abusing drugs, and countless other violations of rules and regulations) without grave consequences. House is completely brilliant, yes, but I don't buy that he's the only doctor in the world as brilliant as he is; my guess it that there is probably a handful of doctors in the world who can do what he does, so there's no need to put up with his behavior. There are a lot of minor medical details that I know are wrong and I'm not even a doctor yet.
I realize that the things that bother me don't bother everyone else as much. So I don't find funny the things that other people find funny. For me, this show is about medicine. medicine is a serious thing. To enjoy House's antics seems to me to be akin to enabling his behavior, and I'm not OK doing that. And I realize that House is a fictional character, but I take this pretty seriously as it's my future profession.
So I'm continuing to watch, even though it's at the bottom of my tv priority list.

Very interesting to see the differnt ways everyone is reacting to 13's crash and burn. Did House really fire her, or will she snap out of it and she's back? Oh Wilson. Wilson, Wilson, Wilson. Vulnerable woman and he is sucked in so fast it will make your head spin. Huh. "If you're happy, I'm happy." Did we enter an alternate dimension? Was that really House? Well, he clearly didn't mean it. So, same old house.
