Dorkage: House 4x13 & House 4x14
RIGHT. SO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN WONDERING - WTF HAPPENED TO
ellixian AND WHEN IS SHE GOING TO STOP TALKING ABOUT JULIA MURNEY? (WELL, NEVER, BUT LOL. TODAY I WILL.) I JUST WATCHED HOUSE. HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE. OH GOD. SHOW. IS. BACK, GUYS.
AND BACK IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME ENTIRELY CAPSLOCK-FLAILY AND TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF COHERENT SPEECH. I SHALL ATTEMPT A SANE REVIEW. I PROMISE. BUT ASKDJLDKJALDJSLDJASLDJASLDJASLDJLASDJAS. <-- HOUSE/CUDDY SCENES DO THAT TO ME. YOU KNOW THEY DO IT TO YOU TOO.
House 4x13
- OH GOD. HOUSE IS BACK. Like that cannot be said enough, you know? It just CAN'T. I have missed this show. I have missed Hugh and Lisa and there was even a part of me that went, Awwww, Cameron, how I've missed you - HA HA I LIE. I might have gone mad over musicals during hiatus, but not that mad, lol.
- Okay, non-flaily/shippy stuff first. OMG. KUTNER. How cute is he! I have to admit I didn't warm up to him and if I had to pick a favourite D2, I'd have gone with Taub. Clearly, watching Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay changed all that. Plus, he's hilarious. I LOVE how he's just the nice, dorky one in the bunch, and how he's starting to come into his own and just really start figuring stuff out. House's that should have been my epiphany? SWEET. I loved that.
- And I love how House was just messing with everyone's minds as usual with the performance review stuff. Oh Foreman, when will you ever learn? House will ALWAYS hate on you and embarrass you. FOREVER. AS HE DOES EVERYONE ELSE except Cuddy. Foreman alternates between this deep hatred and paranoia of House, and this surreal belief that House will one day love him. WTF. Do not become Cameron, Foreman. We really only need one of those. And 'need' is an awfully strong word.
- WHAT WAS UP WITH THE CAMERON REFUSING TO ANSWER CHASE ON THE HOUSE!SEX THING. No resolution to that. POOR CHASE. God. I don't even care about how the writers are STILL trying to keep all the ships up in the air and teasing everyone (because, man, they teased H/W like crazy too), but poor Chase. I'd have broken up with her then and there. There are no cute Chase/Cam scenes this season, which actually makes me kinda sad. :(
- CHASE PWNING HOUSE AT BOWLING. LOL.
- I did find it hilarious how Cameron had to do all the paperwork that none of the D2s would do though. LOL. Way to be an administrative doormat, Cameron. But it provided some amusing moments - I do like not mind her when she gets snarky (rather than sanctimonious), and she got a couple of sweet digs in this episode.
- 13/31. WAY TO BE OBVIOUS, SHOW. :p
- I like the POTW. So sue me, he's criminally nice. I just actually liked how they suggested his niceness could be all due to an illness, and that he'd change. And of course, you have the wife believing it won't, Kutner believing it won't... and House... not giving a shit. The ending - so ambiguous and even a little bit tense - was great.
- Wilson/Amber! I'm really really digging them now. They're cute, and RSL and Anne Dudek are selling the attraction more than I thought possible. This episode is a bit of a disappointment for me only because the last one was so hopeful about how House might actually have grown to accept change and to move on and let Wilson be happy. But I guess not, they need to get back into the groove of the show again, so they had House and Amber haggle over Wilson's time. I LOVE how Wilson just sits back and refuses to take sides, and makes CUDDY do it, LOL.
- ANYWAY LIKE WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THAT RIGHT.
- *shamelessly stealing caps from
my_vicodin*
"'That top makes you look like an Afghani prostitute'... would be an example of that." ROFL.
I have missssssed the snark. And the eyesex. And the sexy. And the snappy banter.
- AND THE AMAZING GORGEOUSNESS OF LISA CUDDY HAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII. I AM GAY AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD DISAGREE WITH ME WHEN I SAY LISA EDELSTEIN IS MADE OF EPIC AMOUNTS OF SEXY SEX.
- AND HOUSE BASICALLY SAYS SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO MAKE HER LESS MISERABLE. YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS. THE MAN WITH THE LOLLIPOP, YUP.
*BRIEFLY GOES STRAIGHT AGAIN*
I LOVE HOW MY CAPSLOCK KEY BROKE AFTER I STARTED FLAILING OVER HOUSE/CUDDY, LOL, DID YOU NOTICE??
- DUDE. HOW CAN THE WRITERS BE GOING THIS FLIRTY WITH HOUSE AND CUDDY AND NOT, YOU KNOW, END UP WITH THEIR HAVING HOT MONKEY SEX ON EVERY HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SURFACE IN PPTH? BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT'S IN THEIR FUTURE. IF THEY'RE NOT ALREADY SCHTUPPING LIKE BUNNIES EVERYWHERE THAT IS.
OMG, I didn't even realise I had that much to say about 4x13. BECAUSE 4X14 IS MADE OF TEN MILLION KINDS OF AWESOME OH GOD. SWEETSAUCE. I NOW KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. SDKLFJSDLFJSDLFJSDLFS.
House 4x14
- Now this episode. This episode. Was EPIC. I LOVED IT. Not just for the H/C stuff, which obviously there was tons of, but for the whole thing. It was just ridiculously smart and funny, and I LOVED how House KIDNAPPED A DODGY SOAP STAR, LOL. And how the soap star was all emo, and House again basing his diagnosis on something normal people wouldn't have caught, and how he drove a limousine right up to the hotel emergency entrance and LOL. HOW CREEPY A STALKER IS HOUSE. He fangirls that show the same way we fangirl House! ;)
- I actually liked the POTW, although the medicine confusified me (it always does, these days, I feel I have become stupider or slower when following the cases, but I suspect it's really because they have SO many characters to account for now that the medicine gets short shrift - I have complained about this before, what a randomly long digression, LOL!)
- Oh OH!! I LOVED Wilson/Amber in this. LOVED. I really really like how they're just making it more of a... real relationship than I'd expect. I keep expecting it to turn out to be a gimmicky kind of thing, like omg she's the female House, but the writers are just so much smarter about exploring the characters properly in the context of the new relationship. My favourite part was when she stopped with the crazy sexy kissage and was, like, 'I gave you the choice so you'd do want you want, have you met me and I need you to take care of you' etc. The last part, when Wilson got his water bed but hated it? And Amber came out and cuddled up with him in the living room? Awness. Fledgling new ship happening here, people. ;)
- I was going to try and be a little smarter about the rest of the episode. REALLY.
- BUT IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE EPISODE THAT DOESN'T COME BACK TO THE HOUSE/CUDDY AWESOMENESS OF AWESOME? I DON'T THINK SO.
- Oh god. I loved it. LOVED IT. There will be epic flailage and pic-spammage at
my_vicodin soonest, I promise. Because this ep is too good to pass up. But OH GOD. I love it when House and Cuddy go toe-to-toe, obviously, but there was just something so much deeper about their interactions in this episode. There was the usual banter and bargaining and snark - I mean, sweetsauce? - and that was AWESOME. So you have them negotiating and refusing to give in (though obviously Cuddy eventually gives in because she's not the two-year-old in the relationship and needs to try to save BOTH their jobs), and House just making Cuddy SURRENDER COMPLETELY (OMG OMG OMG) in that morgue scene. Which was BRILLIANT.
- BUT THE BEST PART. OMG THE BEST PART. WAS WHEN HE WAS GOING TO GO BY HIS GUT WITH THE STEROIDS THING. AND HE TRIED TO GIVE CUDDY AN OUT. He stood by his guns but told Cuddy to save herself, and get impunity from the completely crazy thing he was doing. And that's just EPIC because usually what you see is how much Cuddy is going to bend over backwards to cover for him, or to ensure that his screw-ups don't mess things up too much. I LOVE what this scene shows, you know? That he's the House we always know, of course, and that he will refuse to give in on a cure or diagnosis when he believes it is right, but also that he won't drag Cuddy down with him when he knows she's serious about how terrible the repercussions could be for her and the hospital. "You wait three minutes, and call security" <-- who would ever think that could be a sexy SEXY line of dialogue, LOL!?
- AND THEN THE NEXT BEST PART. CUDDY COVERS FOR HIM ANYWAY. BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN HIM. OH GOD. *WEEPS FROM THE AWESOME* "If he dies, let me know. So I can... pack my things." CUT TO MELLOW SONG. AND OH FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL. Like, FLAIL. This was my favourite scene. FAVOURITE. Even though we got so many and the next one is a doozy. But just this... COVERING FOR EACH OTHER. ASKLDJASLDJSALDJLASJDLASJDLSA. CAN WE SAY THEY ARE SO HAVING SEX THIS NEXT SEASON?!!?
- "GOOD NIGHT CUDDY." OMG. IF MY PHONE WASN'T A PIECE OF CRAPPY JUNK, THAT WOULD SO BE MY TEXT MESSAGE TONE RIGHT NOW. SEXY. He called to tell her he was right, and that she was right for sticking up for him. Even if no one else cares. She gets to know she was right to trust him. And he rewarded that trust by figuring it out, properly, and letting her know. SO MUCH LOVE.
OBVIOUSLY I AM KIND OF INCREDIBLY FLAILY OVER THIS EPISODE. IT'S JUST... EPIC. IT'S SO. PERFECT. SO SWEET. SO SNARKY AND RUDE AND THEM AT THE SAME TIME, BUT SO... THESE ARE TWO PEOPLE WHO GET EACH OTHER, GUYS. WHO, LIKE, GET EACH OTHER. IT'S NOT STUPID, OR BASED ON SEX, OR BASED ON LUST. IT'S TRUST.
I FRICKIN' LOVE MY SHIP RIGHT NOW. LOVE IT.
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE NEXT WEEK'S PROMO IS TOTALLY LOL-ARIOUS. NO SPOILAGE EXCEPT TO SAY: THE BIT AT ABOUT 0:19? IT'S NOT JUST YOUR FANTASY, HOUSE.
OH GOD. SO GAY FOR LISA AGAIN. LOL.
And I guess the House dorkage is back for good, huh? *looks around* My it's good to be back.
I know I'm late to the party, guys. BUT COME FLAIL WITH ME ANYWAY?? :)
