Why do you find it so confusing that House/Wilson fans, and Wilson fans in particular, are becoming disheartened? They're making my favorite character pathetic...and I'm sure in the next episode all will be fine and forgotten and House and Wilson will just keep...not talking or whatever the fuck it is the writers want us to think they're doing.
I guess, when it comes to Wilson and how House treats him, that I'm utterly confused as to why Wilson is still his friend.
I shit better writing than that.
I would honestly have preferred Wilson wasn't in this episode at all--and I liked this episode, but I'm tired of my favorite character being used as a convenient plot device. RSL, at least, deserves better story lines than what he's been getting.
Sorry for ranting all over your post...I'm just all "wtf?"

I don't know, I think that Wilson is kind of a pathetic character. I mean it, he is. I don't know why people ever thought he was un-pathetic. House has always shat on him, it's just the way they work. It's not that it isn't cute that he follows House around like a puppy most of the time and is totally devoted to him in a strange way, it's just... well, pathetic. And that's the way the Holmes/Watson relationship is, too, IMHO.

I guess I assumed that House/Wilson people were thinking of Wilson the same way I was, as a kind of cute but pathetic character, and that Hilson was a 'ship of "House finally accepts that Wilson is his most devoted friend!! Even though he isn't as brilliant as House. And he loves him anyway, for his dogged devotion!" That's why it's never appealed to me.

Ah. Well, I guess I never saw it that way, but it's always interesting to hear other opinions.
:D
Three more weeks? *sobs*

LOL YES HE HUGGED HER BACK, HE GROPED HER ASS.

IT WAS ADORABLE. IT WAS. ADORABLE.

ALSO I THINK CAMERON HAD THAT "LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION" SCENE PLANNED TO A T. IDK THOUGH.

BUT ^5 ON US BEING RIGHT ABOUT WHY HOUSE WAS LYING ABOUT BRAIN CANCER.

LOL I REMEMBERED THE ASS GROPE BUT NOT THE HUG BACK.

AND YES, KUDOS TO US. THOUGH HE DID TAKE A VIAL OF HIS OWN BLOOD, SO IF TBTB DECIDE TO BE REALLY STUPID HE COULD BE LYING ABOUT LYING

Chase would cry.

Forever.

I really just think that was continuity being ignored. I mean, even if it was House's file, they determined that it wasn't brain cancer.

Thus if he was lying about lying THAT MEANS HE HAS SYPHILIS.

Oh, thank god. I've just finished watching the episode and was going to write everything I thought about it just because it had to be out there, but I see you've said it all. Whew.

I love this show.

(I'm also having trouble deciding whether the sweater vest icon should be replaced with an ORANGE BASEBALL CAP icon. The fuck?)

hi_falootin March 9 2007, 19:04:24 UTC

whoo! I'm glad you agree. That was definitely an episode I could see again (...and again).

And WOW I'd almost forgotten that baseball cap. It was like half trucker, half highway construction worker.

roga March 9 2007, 20:00:14 UTC

I was so much worse than the knitted black cap. So much worse.
