HOUSE 7X03 UNWRITTEN
GUYS, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO SURVIVE THIS SEASON. I THINK IT MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL ME FROM HOW AMAZING IT IS. HOW IS THIS EPISODE JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO?! AUGH AUGH AUGH. I clearly have my priorities completely messed-up as a result - it's 2.50am right now, I should PLAINLY be asleep because, you know, work day tomorrow later, but omigod whatever I am going to live-blog this episode as I rewatch it BECAUSE IT WAS SO AWESOME. Even though I haven't watched Castle - I had to give that up because I got home an hour and a half later than if I'd left the office right on time. Sadly, I spent the whole of my Tuesday writing a 26-paragraph piece of crap paper that drained my life force and my will to live. GOOD THING I CAME HOME TO BRAND NEW HOUSE, because I don't think I'd be in a fit state otherwise to continue my existence for the rest of the week.
CAPSLOCK FLAILAGE ENSUES!
SERIOUSLY GUYS THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. I'VE SPENT THE LAST FEW HOURS JUST HAPPILY PLAYING AROUND WITH PHOTOSHOP, SO THIS FLAIL POST WILL BE PRETTY AND DECORATED WITH STUFF I'VE EITHER ALREADY PUT ON TUMBLR OR WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY APPEAR THERE (EVEN I FEEL I'M SPAMMING TUMBLR, LOLOLOL).
YOU KNOW, I EVEN THOUGHT THE POTW WAS AWESOME. LIKE, LAST WEEK'S WAS GOOD AND I CRIED BUT HONESTLY IT WAS ALL ABOUT HOUSE/CUDDY FOR ME. BUT THIS WEEK, I WAS ALMOST MORE EXCITED TO SEE WHERE ALICE TANNER'S STORY WAS GOING THAN... OKAY, I LIE, I AM ALWAYS KEEN TO SEE WHAT HOUSE AND CUDDY ARE UP TO FIRST, BUT OMG WEREN'T YOU GUYS FLOORED LIKE I WAS WHEN SHE TALKED TO JACK CANNON IN THE TEASER AND THEN SAID "HOW, JACK? YOU DON'T EVEN EXIST"? AND THEN PULLED A GUN AND HAD A SEIZURE OMG. I FUCKING LOVED HER - AMY IRVING = EPIC, FOR ONE THING, BUT ALSO I LOVED HOW SASSY AND OBSERVANT AND BITCHY AND HELLBENT ON SUICIDE SHE WAS. I LOVE HOW SHE COULDN'T SUSS OUT HOUSE'S LIES, BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A CONSUMMATE LIAR. I LOVE THE PATIENTS THAT PUZZLE AND INTRIGUE HOUSE TOO - NOT THE ONES WITH CONDITIONS OR FAMILY PROBLEMS, BUT THE PEOPLE.
OH LOOK HOUSE IS INVADING A COMA PATIENT'S ROOM. I LOVE THAT HIS IDEA OF ROMANCE IS STEALING STUFF FROM COMATOSE PEOPLE. ALSO, THE PEOPLE WHO SENT THIS PATIENT CHOCOLATES ARE FAIL. SINCE THE CHOCOLATE ARE GROSS.
WILSON IS TOTES STALKING HOUSE.
"WHICH ONE SAYS 'I WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU' MORE? PENGUIN OR BEAVER? BEAVER BEAVER BEAVER." LOLOLOLOL
"I'M WORRIED" - BECAUSE HE'S HAPPY! THAT IS SO ADORABLE I CAN'T EVEN. I LOVE HOW HE'S STILL FUSSING AND WORRYING ABOUT BEING GENUINELY HAPPY WITH HER. ATTRIBUTING THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE ENDORPHINS FROM SEX - THAT'S SO HIM, TO STILL NOT WANT TO ENJOY THE HONEYMOON PHASE OR ADMIT THAT CONNECTION THEY HAVE THAT GOES SO MUCH DEEPER THAN BOOKS OR MOVIES OR FOOD.
OMG GUYS HOUSE IS SO SO SO A YA FANTASY FANBOY, THAT'S ACTUALLY PERFECT. I LOVE IT. ESPECIALLY THAT HE'S IN A COUPLE OF ONLINE FANCLUBS. IT'S ADORABLE.
"IF SHE TRIES TO RUN, SHOOT HER... WITH A SEDATIVE." LOLLERSKATING FOREVER. THIS SHOW IS SO EPIC RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EVEN.
I LOVE THAT HOUSE IS GATHERING FLOWERS FROM ALL OVER THE HOSPITAL.
"THAT WOULD BE CRAZY AND UNPROFESSIONAL. WE'RE TAKING THE CASE BECAUSE I SAID SO." AHAHAHAHA. MOCKING OF TAUB. "YOU HATE YOUR PERSONAL LIFE." FOREMAN "YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T HAVE ONE."
OMG HOUSE AND CUDDY GOING ON A DATE!!!!!! OR SO CUDDY THINKS... I THOUGHT THIS SCENE WAS ADORABLE:
LOLOLOL CUDDY'S FACE WHEN SHE REALISES SHE'S BREAKING AND ENTERING!!!
OMG CUDDY'S A FELON NOW. JUST LIKE HOUSE.
OOH, ALICE TANNER IS BITCHY. I LIKE IT. "I WANT A WOMAN DOCTOR."
OKAY JUST A POINT TO MENTION - LISA EDELSTEIN IS INSANELY GORGEOUS IN THIS EPISODE. LIKE, A HUNDRED MILLION KINDS OF GORGEOUS. IT'S NOT THAT SHE ISN'T TYPICALLY BUT... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS EPISODE. ILLEGAL AMOUNTS OF PRETTY. PLUS HER CLOTHES. AUGH SOOO GAY RIGHT NOW.
I LOVE HOW THEY'RE LETTING CHASE BE HAPPY. EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS HE'S BEING A DOUCHE AND HAVING ONE-NIGHT STANDS. HAPPY!CHASE = SMILEY JESSE SPENCER = HAPPY!ME!
AND AND AND SHE'S TRYING TO IGNORE HIM! IT'S HER WAY OF BEING PISSY THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN ARRESTED LAST NIGHT. HOW CUTE. ALSO I LOVE WHEN HOUSE EXAGGERATEDLY CLEARS HIS THROAT IN THIS SCENE. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT IT SOUNDS PARTICULARLY BRITISH TO ME. VERY HUGH. OKAY THERE ARE A MILLION REASONS WHY I ADORE THIS MOMENT, AS I'M SURE IS AMPLY CLEAR FROM THIS GIF:
A. HE BROUGHT HER A PEACE OFFERING
B. IT'S A PEACE PENGUIN
C. PENGUINS MATE FOR LIFE
D. SHE KNEW HE STOLE IT AND ASKED FROM WHICH ROOM
E. EXCEPT SHE DIDN'T BRING IT BACK SDKLFHKSDLFSDF
SHORTHAND, GUYS. I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE'S ALL THIS SHORTHAND AND HINTS SUGGESTING HOW WELL CUDDY AND HOUSE KNOW EACH OTHER, AND HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE WITH EACH OTHER. AND YET... THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS STILL SO MUCH THE WAY IT WAS.
"SHE WANTS A VAGINA." "I'M PRETTY ATTACHED TO MINE." XD XD
"BUSY DOING WHAT?" "YOU." OH GOD THE SASSY BANTER. YOU KNOW, THIS EPISODE IS PROOF, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, OF WHAT I'VE BELIEVED FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. NAMELY THAT HOUSE AND CUDDY CAN GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP. THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK AROUND IT AND WORK THROUGH IT AND THAT THE SHOW WOULDN'T BE ANY LESS ENTERTAINING FOR IT. IN FACT THAT IT'D BE SO MUCH RICHER AND MORE FUN.
CUDDY IN A DOCTOR'S COAT. AND INTERESTING PERFUME. HE BOUGHT (MORE LIKELY STOLE) HER PERFUME!!! AND GUESS WHO WAS ALL OVER HOUSE LAST NIGHT??? AHAAHAHAHHA OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS EPISODE. AWWW, CUDDY. WHY ARE YOU SO NICE. ALSO ALICE IS A TOTAL HBIC FOR ASKING FOR THE BOYS BACK.
WILSON IS SUCH A HOUSE/CUDDY SHIPPER. HE SITS AROUND AND WRITES RPF ABOUT THEM ALL DAY.
ALSO, TOP-LEFT CAP. HUGH'S BLUE BLUE EYES. OMIGOD.
I KIND OF LIKE THAT WILSON GOT IT WRONG THIS TIME - AT FIRST, WHEN I SAW THIS SCENE, I THOUGHT IT WAS SWEET THE WAY HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE HOUSE FEEL BETTER ABOUT NOT HAVING ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH CUDDY. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD EXPLANATION OF WHAT CUDDY WAS UP TO AS WELL... BUT THEN IT BECOMES SO CLEAR BY THE END OF THE EPISODE THAT THIS DOESN'T MATTER TO CUDDY. THAT ALL THESE OUTWARD SIGNS OF BEING SIMILAR AND IN SYNC - THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE DEEPER CONNECTION AND LOVE SHE KNOWS THEY SHARE. OH CUDDY, YOU ARE SO AWESOME. BUT I DIGRESS.
ALICE'S DIAGNOSIS OF CHASE AND TAUB IS MY FAVOURITE. WHAT A BAMF.
HAY, HOUSE WITH GLASSES. UNF UNF UUUUNF. WHY SO PISSY WITH THE CHINESE FOOD, HOUSE?
OMFG THE LEG THING IS INSANE. I FLIPPED OUT THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT AND HER LEG STARTED SPARKING AND EXPLODING!! *WEEPS*
USING TAUB AS A WHITEBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "EVERYONE LIES" THIS EPISODE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!
OKAY, THIS SCENE IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT - I WAS SO FASCINATED AT THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN HOUSE AND ALICE THAT I WASN'T EAGERLY AWAITING THE NEXT HOUSE/CUDDY SCENE. THAT SAYS SOMETHING, DOESN'T IT? I LOVE HOW HE'S TRYING TO BARGAIN WITH HER TO LET HIM FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. "YOU'RE THE PERCEPTIVE ONE, YOU TELL ME." I THOUGHT HOUSE'S ENTREATY TO ALICE ABOUT BEING PAIN-FREE AND HAVING REASONS TO LIVE AGAIN WAS... JUST SO TOUCHING COMING FROM WHERE HOUSE WAS LAST SEASON AND WHERE HE IS NOW WITH CUDDY. I LOVE THAT THE SHOW UNDERPLAYED IT. LOLOLOL.
"GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE!" "YOU'RE A REAL BASTARD." "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE LIFE." AND THEN HE EXTENDED HER PSYCH HOLD LOLOLOLOL. OMG GUYS, IF I DIDN'T SHIP HOUSE AND CUDDY, I'D SHIP HOUSE AND ALICE. BECAUSE TALK ABOUT MUTUALLY ASSURED (SELF-)DESTRUCTION. ESPECIALLY WITH THE BEING BITCHY ABOUT DANGLING JACK CANNON SPOILERS IN FRONT OF HOUSE. XD
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT SAM DOES FOR A LIVING. WHY IS SHE REJIGGING MRI MACHINES? OKAY, NVM I DON'T REALLY CARE. ALTHOUGH HA, "TEAM DEACON" "WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE THEM B0TH?!" SO META, HOUSE, I'M LOVING IT. SLY DIG AT THE FANDOM SHIPPING WARS, HMMM? (PLEASE DON'T SAY IT'S A TWILIGHT REFERENCE. :P)
"SHE'S DEAD!" "PRESUUUUUUUUUMED...!!!!!" THERE ARE ACTUAL PATIENTS WAITING TO USE THIS MACHINE." OH WILSON WHY ARE YOU BEING A BUZZKILL OF A GROWN-UP!? ;)
OMG DOUBLE-DATE. ADORABLE FOREVER. ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS CUDDY WEARING. SHE IS. SO. FRICKING. HOT.
I ADORE THE WHOLE BOYFRIEND/EMPLOYEE BOSS/GIRLFRIEND THING THAT THEY DID THROUGHOUT THIS EPISODE. IT WAS SUCH A SWEET, SNARKY WAY TO ILLUSTRATE THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
Cuddy: Well, as your girlfriend, I’m impressed. As your boss, you’re a jackass. Don’t do it again.
House: As your boyfriend, I thank you. As your employee, I resent you because I need this for my case.
Cuddy: As your boss, you just got six more clinic hours next week.
--
House: As your boyfriend, I am grateful for the effort. As your employee, I am disappointed at your ineffectiveness.
--
Cuddy: As your boss, I am opposed to you lying to a patient. As your girlfriend, I’m glad you care.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE." LOL POOR HOUSE, THE ~PRESSURE~!!!
HOUSE'S BITCHERY ABOUT CLIFFHANGERS MADE ME THINK ABOUT LOST. AND I DON'T EVEN WATCH LOST, I'VE JUST HEARD SOME COMPLAINTS. ;)
"I CAN'T LET JACK CANNON DIE THIS WAY." I HAVE TO SAY I TOTALLY EMPATHISE WITH HOUSE HERE. XD
OMG GO-KARTS GO-KARTS!!!!!!!! AND HOUSE CALLED CUDDY'S MOM. HE KEEPS DOING THAT, WTF, I LOVE IT. LIKE HE CALLED CUDDY'S MOM TO GET CUDDY'S MED SCHOOL DESK BACK... WHAT, IS SHE ON HIS SPEED DIAL? THE FACT THAT CUDDY'S MOM IS GONNA BE PLAYED BY CANDICE BERGEN - I CANNOT UNTHINK THIS AT THIS POINT OMG.
SAM IS SUCH A PSYCHO ON THE TRACK, I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE PUT WILSON OUT OF COMMISSION!!
HOUSE AND CUDDY LOOK SO HAPPY!! OKAY, ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS FOREVER IN THIS EPISODE - REALLY. REALLY. REALLY? WAS WHEN CUDDY EDGED OUT IN FRONT OF SAM - AND HOUSE WAS SO PROUD OF HER. "ATTAGIRL." HONESTLY. JUST THAT LITTLE MOMENT WAS... PERFECT TO ME. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO HOUSE'S EVIL CACKLE (REMINDS ONE OF DR COCKROACH, NO?) AND THEN HOUSE GOT BANNED FOR LIFE FOR USING HIS CANE TO DISCONNECT THE POWER CABLE ON SAM'S GO-KART AHAHAHAHAHA. ANOTHER CUTE-CUTE MOMENT? "I AVENGED MY LADY!" AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
"HOW CAN I BE RIGHT AND WRONG?" OOH, LOOK, TAUB PULLED OUT THE DIAGNOSIS!
"13 IS THE ONLY MAN ON MY TEAM."
HERE'S ANOTHER FAVOURITE SCENE. FIRST, CUDDY KEPT THE PEACE PENGUIN. SHE IS SUCH A FELON NOW AHAHAHA. BUT BUT - OMG THIS SCENE WAS PERFECT. I LOVE THAT CUDDY DID ALL THAT RESEARCH, BECAUSE SHE WOULD, AND THEN I LOVE HOW HOUSE THANKED HER FOR IT ("AS YOUR BOYFRIEND ETC"), AND THEN HOW HE SETTLES BACK INTO HER COUCH AND THINKS OUT LOUD TO HER AND BOUNCES IDEAS OFF HER. LIKE, IT'S JUST SO... THEY'RE SO... IT'S KIND OF PERFECT HOW THEY FIT. AND THEN SHE GIVES HIM HIS EPIPHANY - "YOUR BOYFRIEND'S AN IDIOT." LOVE LOVE.
HOUSE'S DIAGNOSIS THAT ALICE'S SON WAS WITH HER KILLED ME. AMY IRVING WAS INCREDIBLE IN THIS SCENE. I LOVE HOW THEY HAD HER SON STANDING AT THE FOOT OF HER BED THE WHOLE TIME. "HE'S ALWAYS BEEN MY MUSE."
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOUSE LIED TO HER ABOUT THE ANEURYSM THOUGH. JUST SO HE COULD GET MORE JACK CANNON BOOKS. HE'S SO SELFISH AND FANDORKY OBSESSIVE I LOVE IT. XD (DON'T PRETEND A HARRY POTTER FAN WOULDN'T DO THE SAME THING IF JK ROWLING HAD CRAPPED UP HER LAST BOOK. THEN AGAIN, WHAT THE EFF WAS THAT EPILOGUE? ERRRR. RANT FOR ANOTHER DAY.)
MUCH AS I LOVED THE POTW, HER SUDDEN DESIRE TO LIVE AGAIN REALLY WAS KIND OF A NEAT, HAPPY ENDING HUH? OVER A DECADE OF DEPRESSION AND GUILT...
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FAVOURITE SCENES THIS EPISODE? OH, BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING KICKASS EPISODE THAT'S WHY. I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT IT CHOOSES TO BE WITH ALL MY HEART.
CAN THESE SENTIMENTS BE ANY MORE PERFECT? I DON'T THINK SO.
1. CUDDY KNEW HE LIED ABOUT THE ANEURYSM.
2. CUDDY LIED TO HOUSE ABOUT READING JACK CANNON. KNOWINGLY. TO GET HIM TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WILSON TOLD HER.
3. "ON THE OTHER HAND, I MIGHT DUMP YOU IF YOU DON'T TALK TO ME WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP." I LOVE HOW UPFRONT AND HONEST SHE IS ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP. IT'S SO REFRESHING TO THINK THAT IT COULD WORK AND SHE'S BEING SO MATURE AND OPEN ABOUT IT. NOW TO GET THE FIVE-YEAR-OLD I.E., HOUSE AROUND TO HER WAY OF THINKING. ;)
4. THIS QUOTE IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS POST:
: Who cares about ‘common’? ‘Common’ is boring. It’s… common. I like being with you. You make me better. Hopefully I make you better. What we have is… uncommon. And I’ve never been happier.
♥ ♥ ♥
GOD. THIS... THIS IS JUST. SPECTACULAR. AND SO TRUE AND SO PERFECT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THE WRITERS ARE BASICALLY GETTING IT RIGHT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - BECAUSE IT'S TRUE - MAYBE NOT IN THE WAY PEOPLE TRADITIONALLY DEFINE 'BETTER', BUT THEY DO... THEY ARE BETTER AROUND EACH OTHER. CUDDY STEPS OUT OF HER BUREAUCRATIC COMFORT ZONE, AND HE NEEDS WHAT BOUNDARIES SHE CAN SET FOR HIM.
HOUSE IS SO ADORABLY DORKY. "YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT ON A CLIFFHANGER. WHO DOES THAT?!!?!?" HE WAS TOTALLY SPEAKING IN CAPSLOCK AT THAT POINT AHAHAHAHA.
AND OMG. OMG OMG OMG. HE SAW CUDDY. HE SAW CUDDY WATCHING HIM, AND... SHE DID, SHE MADE HIM BETTER. SHE MADE HIM... WILLING TO TRY TO BE BETTER. THIS IS KIND OF HUGE AND AMAZING, GUYS. I LOVE HOW SHE SMILED RIGHT AT THE END, AFTER HE STORMED PAST AND TOLD HER TO SHUT UP. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I LOVE HOW WE'RE GETTING THESE HAPPY ENDINGS BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, AS THEY WORK OUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP. YOU KNOW - THESE EPISODES JUST PROVE TO ME THAT THEY COULD WORK, THAT HOUSE AND CUDDY... THEY CAN GO THE WHOLE HOG, TAKE IT LONG TERM, ALL OF THAT. EXCEPT, OF COURSE, SADFACE NEED TO VEER BACK INTO MISERY!GUTS TERRITORY. (I'M JUST BEING REALISTIC AND ASSUMING THIS WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE OTHERWISE... ALSO, WE NEED SOME DRAMA/ANGST, RIGHT? HAPPY ENDINGS MEAN THE END OF THE SHOW, AND WE'RE FAR FROM THAT YET...)
ANYWAY. UNTIL SHIT HITS THE FAN, I'M GONNA FLAIL LIKE I'M THE WORLD CHAMPION FLAILER AT THE FLAIL OLYMPICS. THIS EPISODE ROCKED MY UNIVERSE. BASICALLY:
EPISODE IN A NUTSHELL. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS EPISODE AND THIS SEASON SO HARDCORE, GUYS.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF ANYMORE EXCEPT OBSESS ABOUT THIS SHOW/SHIP. UNTIL IT ALL GOES SOUTH, IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE, GUYS. DREAM COME TRUE.
