What it’s about: One of the biggest casualties of the Writer’s Strike I think was the story of House, Wilson, and Amber. It was obviously supposed to be much longer and the upshot was we lost a lot of what the conflict between the three was about. In my opinion, this video is the full story, highlighting how the issue wasn’t just House having to share Wilson, but also his awareness that Amber was essentially a House capable of changing and not letting the world (and Wilson) leave her behind. Even after her death, she is more adaptable and prepared than House can ever be.
Why it’s worth watching: Concept, PoV, characterization, storytelling, heartbreaker, song choice (to a freakish extent), once is not enough
Favourite bit: “Snap her up in a butterfly net/Pin her down in a photograph album”
