HOUSE 7X05 UNPLANNED PARENTHOOD & Castle 3x05

Oct 20, 2010 08:13

Yup, I've decided to liveblog because it keeps my random flailing down to something a... little more manageable. HERE'S HOPING, ANYWAY. Can I just say - maybe I'm shallow and easy to please and whatever (actually there's no 'maybe' about it), but I'm LOVING how this season is going and how it's been... so relatively nice and light so far. House (the character and the series) NEEDS some lightness, I think, after the last couple of seasons especially. I love the way we're now getting the chance to see him in a relationship: making trade-offs and sacrifices and telling lies in his own inimitable way, but... nevertheless invested. The amount of House/Wilson in this episode made me stupidly happy, btw.



- CUDDY IS SUPER GORGEOUS THIS SEASON. SUPER SUPER GORGEOUS.

- I realise my problem with live-blogging is that I KEEP REWINDING THE HOUSE/CUDDY SCENES. I should not allow myself to do that. RIGHT. But there's so much I want to comment on. LIKE HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG CUDDY IS SO GORGEOUS. AND OMG THEY'RE SO FLIRTATIOUS. AND WATCH THEM BARTERING SEX. CUDDY CLAIMS SHE AIN'T GONNA BARGAIN BABYSITTING FOR SEX, BUT THEY CLEARLY KEEP A SEX SCORECARD ANYWAY. A++++ THIS OTP.

- EVERY TIME CUDDY MENTIONS HER MOM NOW, I'M ALL :D :D :D CANDICE BERGEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

- "If only there were some mature adult in my life who could pinch-hit in a situation like this..." IS NOT THE SAME AS "warm body", Cuddy. VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

- WHEN SHE TELLS HIM TO BE AT HER PLACE AT 7, THAT WAS TOTALLY, LIKE, A BOOTY CALL. HNNNNNNNNNNNG. SO FLIRTATIOUS.

- I STILL HATE FOREMAN. EVEN WHEN HOUSE IS MEAN TO HIM. JUST FYI.

- "I CAN HEAR HER BREATHING ON THE MONITOR." AHAHAHAHA. HOUSE IS KIND OF AN AWFUL BABYSITTER. "SHE'S SO CUTE WHEN SHE'S ASLEEP" - OMG LIES!!!! HE REALLY IS FIVE, ISN'T HE. THAT MAKES HIM JUST THREE YEARS OLDER THAN RACHEL. OOPS. ;)

- RACHEL CUDDY IS PRETTY MUCH THE CUTEST BABY IN EXISTENCE. HER IN HER STRIPEY JAMMIES OMG. "I'M THIRSTY!" "MOMMY SAYS NO, 'CAUSE SHE'S MEAN" <-- OMG HOUSE, THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO HELP REINFORCE CUDDY'S PARENTING, LOLOLOLOL

- "WILSON, HEY - YOU UP FOR BOYS' NIGHT IN?" FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVOURITE THING ABOUT THIS EPISODE. OMG I LOVE ME SOME BROMANCE.

- While Taub and Foreman are twittering on about the POTW - I cannot for the life of me recognise Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing. Like, she doesn't look the same! This was the Taub show, wasn't it... Chase barely had anything to say.

- "JUST TALKING IN A SOOTHING VOICE - NOT FOR YOUR BENEFIT. WHY? IS IT TURNING YOU ON?" ASFLHSDFHSFSLLSHFLSDFS LOLOLOL SO ADORABLE. "YOU'RE FIRED! ... THAT WHOOSHING SOUND IS THE AIR BEING LET OUT OF HIS EGO" <-- IN THAT SAME LILTING VOICE AHAHAHAHA. Okay, seriously, House was super EVIL - I can't believe he did that to Foreman.

- AHAHAHA HOUSE MADE WILSON PAY FOR THE CHINESE FOOD. ALWAYS AGAIN.

- "CUDDY WILL BE BACK IN AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES. I'LL BE BACK IN AN HOUR AND FIVE." OMG HE'S INCORRIGIBLE. I LOVE IT. "UNLIKE YOU, I DON'T HAVE A CONSCIENCE." I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOUSE AND WILSON STARING EACH OTHER DOWN OVER WHO'S GOING TO LEAVE RACHEL. OMIGOD. THEY ARE. SO. CUTE. WHEN HOUSE GETS ON HIS BIKE AND WILSON GETS IN HIS CAR... "I'M LEAVING!" "I'M LEAVING!" POOR WILSON, WHEN HE CAVES AND KNOWS HE WON'T LEAVE. A+++ THAT HE THREATENS A BABYSITTING SERVICE THOUGH. AND HOUSE FINALLY FOLDING. "I'LL STAY IF YOU STAY."

- CUE TORNADO RACHEL. SO FRACKIN' CUTE!!!!

- I LOVE THAT HOUSE CALLS RACHEL 'SWEETIE'. ♥

- WILSON PLAYING AND MAKING FACES AT RACHEL PRETTY MUCH MAKES MY LIFE.

- RACHEL LOOKING AT HOUSE AND WILSON AFTER HOUSE ASKS HER HOW MANY COINS SHE ATE - BASICALLY SUPER SUPER CUTE. OMG CAN I HAS A RACHEL CUDDY?!

- Wow, I honestly don't remember anything about this POTW. Beyond her horrifying diagnosis (double cancers) and death. It only got fun for me when I realised that the candidate Taub was looking at - Dr Chang - is LANE KIM FROM GILMORE GIRLS! IT'S LANE!! She looks so much older!!

- "SHE OPENED UP A CHINESE FOOD BAG TO EAT MONEY. WHAT AN IDIOT." LOLOLOLOLOL HE'S SO MEAN ABOUT HER.

- HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THE FACT THAT BOTH OF THEM ARE FREAKIN' SHIT-SCARED TERRIFIED OF CUDDY!?!? LOLOLOLOL "HEY HEY HEY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PIN THIS ON ME!!" CUE MY FAVOURITE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE EPISODE - SERIOUSLY, EVEN WITH ALL THE HOUSE/CUDDY SEX-BARGAINING AND KISSAGE:



LOLOLOLOL OMG THE WAY HUGH SAYS "CLIMBING OUT A WINDOW" IS MY FAVOURITE.

AHAHAHAHA I LOVE THAT WILSON ESCAPED OUT OF A WINDOW RATHER THAN FACE CUDDY. OMG.

- OKAY, THIS SCENE BETWEEN HOUSE AND CUDDY IS ADORABLE. MAINLY BECAUSE I AM OBSESSED WITH HOW GORGEOUS HUGH AND LISA ARE IN IT. TO WIT:



THE WAY CUDDY SMILES AT HOUSE - HOLY CRAP LISA EDELSTEIN IS BEAUTIFUL.

- IT'S LANE KIM!!! (which is apparently all I can think about every time she appears onscreen, oops) And ouch having to take care of a billion kid cases at once if you hate kids...

- You know, what I like so much about the lightness of this season of House is that it allows Hugh to do all that physical comedy he's so damn great at. House's double-take while he's lying awake in bed and hears Rachel is FANTASTIC (and so subtle!), as is his immediate double-back to tell Cuddy he'll take care of this - which is both such an awwww moment and a hilarious one too.

- RACHEL CUDDY, Y U SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE.

- CUDDY'S JAMMIES ARE ADORABLE. AND HOUSE STANDING THERE SAYING, "SORRY, NEW TO ALL THIS." IS BASICALLY PERFECT TO ME. HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE A DADDY, OMG.

- EEEK CUTEST HOUSE/CUDDY SCENE EVER. I LOVE HOW HE'S SPRAWLED ACROSS HER BED. AND HOW SHE'S, LIKE, "YOUR BOSS MUST REALLY LIKE YOU" AND DROPS A KISS ON HIS HEAD BEFORE SHE GOES TO WORK. SDLKHSDLHSLFHSDLFHDFHLSDFHSDL HOW IS THIS OTP EVEN REAL THEY ARE SO UNBEARABLY CUTE.

- "IN ALL FAIRNESS, IT WASN'T ENTIRELY HER IDEA. IT WAS A FOREMAN KIND OF THING." OKAY, FOREMAN'S REACTION TO THAT DIG WAS HILARIOUS. OH TAUB. YOU ARE SLIGHTLY EVIL IN A WAY THAT AMUSES ME.

- AHAHAHAHA HOUSE AND WILSON KIDNAPPED RACHEL. "SCREAM LIKE A GIRL." I LOVE THAT WILSON TOTALLY CALLED IT THAT WHEN RACHEL WAKES UP, SHE'LL TELL CUDDY EVERYTHING. AS WE KNOW BY THE END OF THE EPISODE, ALL SHE NEEDED WAS ONE WORD: 'HOUSE'. XD

- WILSON AS THE FRIENDLY MOOSE WHO LIVES OUTSIDE RACHEL'S BEDROOM. AHAHAHAHA OMIGOD I LOVE WILSON. "THAT'S BECAUSE I'M THE TICKLE MONSTER!" OMG WILSON, ON OCCASIONS LIKE THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO MARRY YOU.

- I LOVE IT WHEN HOUSE COMES OUT OF THE ROOM AND DOMINATES THE DOOR THIS WAY. PHYSICAL COMEDY - SO SUBTLE, SO PERFECT.

- "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A GREAT MOMMY ONE DAY." PERFECT AHAHAHAHA.

- "THANKS FOR WAITING." HA.

- Lane Kim is tiiiiny next to House.

- MEN'S ROOM! OMG I LOVE THIS SCENE. BECAUSE HAI, PARALLELS WITH SEASON 1 FTW!!!



House: Ooh, girl in the boys’ bathroom. Very dramatic. Must be very important what you have to say to me.
~ House 1x06: The Socratic Method

--

House: Men’s room?
Wilson: Turns out toilets are handy in this situation. I felt relatively sure that Cuddy wouldn’t come in.
House: Oh, Cuddy’s been in here.
Wilson: Seriously?! This must be a terrible place to have s-…
House: Is there such a place?
~ House 7x05: Unplanned Parenthood

- AND THEN AND THEN, THIS CONVERSATION KILLED ME:



House: Six more hours and we’re going in with a scope and pulling it out.
Wilson: Scope a two-year-old? It’s dangerous.
House: As you keep pointing out, so is a dime ripping through her intestines.
Wilson: Cuddy will be home from work in six hours. But no big deal. I’ll just scream ‘look over there!’ while you quickly shove a scope up her daughter’s rectum.
House: I’ll offer to babysit again. Let her have the night out.
Wilson: Sure - that won’t raise any suspicion.
House: I wish I was nicer.

OMG AHAHAHAHAHAHA "I WISH I WAS NICER" = FAVOURITE LINE OF THE EPISODE?!

- HAI CUDDY YOU'RE SO PRETTY.

- I KIND OF LOVE HOW HE SNOOKERED CUDDY INTO GETTING HIM TO BABYSIT. WHEN THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED ALL ALONG. OMG SOMETIMES I'M, LIKE, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF HONEST COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, HOUSE. LIKE, YOU KNOW, TELLING HER STUFF INSTEAD OF LYING LIKE A SOCIOPATH? BUT THEN I GUESS HE WON'T BE HOUSE. OR HE'D BE BORING. SO I THOUGHT THIS SCENE WAS SO CUTE. WHEN HE STARED AT HER BREASTS AND WAS, LIKE, WHO THE HELL SAID THEY WOULDN'T BARGAIN BABYSITTING FOR SEX? AND THEN SHE KISSES HIM!



OKAY, SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS REALLY MY FAVOURITE THING EVER. I KNOW THAT HE'S BEING KIND OF EVIL AND DISHONEST WITH CUDDY, AND KIND OF BEING RESPONSIBLE ONLY TO FIX THE FACT THAT HE WAS IRRESPONSIBLE EARLIER. BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WAY HOUSE PAUSES A BIT, THEN SMILES TO HIMSELF SO... HAPPILY AFTER CUDDY KISSES HIM. LIKE - HE'S IN LOVE, YOU GUYS. THAT'S SUCH A SWEET, TINY, HAPPY SMILE. THE KIND WE'D NEVER GET OUT OF HOUSE, EVER; I THINK I AM JUST SO EXCITED TO SEE HOUSE SMILING (GENUINELY) AFTER SIX SEASONS OF MOSTLY DOOM AND GLOOM. I'M SO EASILY PLEASED.

- Infecting baby with skin cancer = ARGH, LIFE SUCKS FOR THIS POTW. And then having lung cancer - cancer treating cancer treating baby = AIEEEEEEE. "I'm not martyring myself - it's nine days." Oops, famous last words. D:

- "This is a medical procedure, not a dinner date." "... so while this may seem insensitive, it's essential, life-saving mooshu..." The dialogue on this show is my favourite.

- House and Wilson doing math in tandem is SO CUTE.

- OMG I JUST SPOTTED ANOTHER PARALLEL WHEN HOUSE SAID WILSON WORRIES TOO MUCH AND WOULD BE A TERRIBLE MOMMY. This one was played for laughs - saying Wilson would be a great mommy and then a terrible one, with House calling Cuddy a terrible mom and then a great mom in Joy. THIS SHOW, I LOVE IT.

- Lane Kim gonna bitchslap Chris Taub to kingdom come. Ouch. She is BLUNT, omg. House would have loved to work with Dr Chang, I think.

- I can't believe POTW died just like that. D:

- And awww, House and Cuddy in bed! ♥ I looove that he's saying overnight again. :)



THEY LOOK SO PERFECT SLEEPING TOGETHER. ♥

- I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT HOUSE GOT RUMBLED BY RACHEL. LOLOLOLOL. JUST ONE WORD - 'HOUSE'. CUDDY BETTER COME BACK TO BED AND BITCHSLAP HOUSE'S ASSSSSSSSSSS.

And that's the end of the episode. I LOVED GETTING TO SEE HOUSE PLAY DADDY. The conclusion is obviously that he's pretty terrible at it, but... he's learning? And OOPS, I just fell asleep while typing that... and it's now four, or five, hours later... I have to go to work so I can't say very much more, except that I LOVED how adorably married House and Cuddy seemed by the end of the episode. Not just trading sexual favours for babysitting and all that (which was awesome, and HONESTLY WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BARTER IN SEXUAL FAVOURS WITH LISA CUDDY - THAT SCENE WHEN SHE KISSES HIM IN THE OFFICE WITH HER PINK SWEATER SET AND HER CLEAVAGE!!, OMFG EVEN IF HOUSE DIDN'T HAVE AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE, HOW COULD HE NOT WANT TO BARGAIN BABYSITTING FOR SEX?!?! SDLFHSLDFHDLFHS)... but really, that final scene when they're asleep and she's all, "What happened to helping?" and he said... "I did!", and he was sleeping with his arm around her... OMG OMG.

And OMG CASTLE. I really loved the episode and I'd LOVE to flail more about it, but like I said - work beckons.

Without a doubt, the very final scene - after Martha says, "would you be willing to break her out of prison? Because that, my boy, is true love" - and Beckett just walks by, as below....



PERFECTION. (Made by freakyx on Tumblr.)

I thought the scene in the prison at the end - when Castle and Beckett went to explain to the couple how they were gonna help them - was SO ADORABLE AND ROMANTIC. Urgh, only this show can get away with that level of insane romanticism, because Castle himself is such a hopeless romantic. He got them burgers to recreate their first date!!! And a court order to re-open her case! OOF.

Other tiny favourite moment: when Castle was wondering out loud why anyone would want to flirt and talk to women but not have sex with them... and then went... "Err.... Beckett's here. :\" I LOVE HOW NATHAN FILLION ACTS IN EMOTICONS. XD

OKAY I HAVE TO GET DRESSED FOR WORK NOW. Apologies for the lack of coherence this week.
