DORKAGE: House 4x05 Mirror, Mirror

[ellixian]

Oh MAN, I am SO GLAD I took the half-day off from work today, which means I could grab the latest House episode much earlier than I normally would. It's not even 11pm and I'm all ready with caps for the IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SQUEE-AGE THAT WILL ENSUE. I swear, if you're a House/Cuddy shipper? There's just so so so MUCH in this episode to chew over and

Gah, I swear, the new episode couldn't come quickly enough for my liking. You've seen the awesome new promo with House and Cuddy bantering for a split second, yes? For it is made of SO MUCH WIN. As is Cuddy. Obvious point, but I never tire of making it, over and over again. Evidently. ;)

Urgh, I saw from your LJ post that you've been insanely busy. :( Hope you manage to get to the caps and icon-ing soon, as we know that's what's really important in life and not all this, you know, work/life crap. Heh.

I think someone freezeframed Chase's betting sheet from the last episode, and her name is something incredibly strange. (Do you do spoilers? Or I'd put it down here.) Suffice it to say, House/Thirteen shippers will get a thrill from the alliterative sound of it all. *rolls eyes* There are some of the newbies I like more than others - Cole I really like, and I still mourn Bosley - but the idea of House/13 is bugging me much right now. Get her with single dad Cole! That'd be cute! ;)

The character exploration I'm hoping will come later in the season; I don't think they'll be able to put it into the show and do it justice while he's still playing reality tv with the new ducklings. To wit, the whole electrocuting himself thing - we don't get ANY follow-up on that, hello!? Dude almost died!

See, H/C would be an awesome change because it would be so complex and adult. That's the thing I've never been able to fathom about the H/Cam ship - her crush on him is so high-school, and what he feels for Cameron, IMO, is lust. Jennifer Morrison IS hot after all. And sure, there's lots and lots of lust for Cuddy (because, hello, LISA EDELSTEIN = SEX) but the two of them connect in a way I just don't see happening between House and Cameron. And we're getting hints of that this season too, fortunately. Now we just need them to really get into a proper angsty, sexful, schtupp-filled relationship! Agree that House has a look when he spars with Cuddy that's different from what he gets from anyone else - it's right there, at the end of the promo I linked above. After her zinger to him, he just smiles, and I think it's because, even though he knows her so well, she still manages to surprise him, and this always surprises him. 'He enjoys her, and she enjoys him!' I say, shamelessly quoting David Shore.

Thanks for the Bruce video link! Will check it out when life is less crappy. I'm still ridiculously addicted to Magic - literally listened to it on repeat today and it got me through a truly heinous day at work. I saw the special edition of Born To Run at HMV the other day, so I think I'm gonna head back down there soonest and buy that too. Yay! I LOVE discovering new music. I'm in such a rock phase now, but the rock of Dylan and Springsteen and Knopfler, and that makes me ridiculously happy. :)
