Mmm... The human body is quite an amazing piece of work.

The first (American) promo was when first noticed jaundice, I believe. In the scene right after Wilson says, and I quote, "You've only got about 24 hours left." Tucker looks incredibly yellow, so I assumed jaundice and thus liver failure.

My personal opinion is that House probably thinks he loves Cuddy, or that he "wants" to love her, because that is what he thinks he should do/be feeling. I hover back to season 5's finale, Both Sides Now, where House's own mind in the form of Amber chastises him with the words, "So this is the story you made up about yourself. It's a good one," before his mind conjures Kutner with the rather final words of, "Too bad it isn't true."

I'm also drawing on last week's Ignorance is Bliss. The POTW storyline where he was deliberately dumbing himself down since it was the only way from his point of view that he could sustain happiness, and because he wanted to want his wife. Frankly, on a very personal note, I was horrified that House approved of the patient continuing to destroy his intellect. It may be lonely at the top, but House has had Wilson beside him for near two decades. Seems like he's still taking Wilson for granted, but I have high hopes this will finally change after 6x10, if Wilson's very life is at risk.

I hope for all the House/Wilson touching possible. :D
I find it interesting that whilst I cringe in revulsion/embarrasment by proxy and bemoan in "not again"-ness at any House/Cuddy touching, and have thus come to fear it, I have negligible to no such fears of House/Wilson touching. While I admit I may be biased towards the "slash" so to speak, my feelings are that any touching on the part of House/Wilson would not be born out of lust, and may thus be why I am not adversed to anything physical hapening between them.

Please be aware that I am not judging you, or anyone else that may read this for that matter (I am also well aware this next statement of mine may seem contradictory to that, but it is meant to illustrate a different point rather than contempt), but I have a massive disdain for people who cannot control their own behaviour with their mind. I think that's why I scoff at people who can't control either their (depending on what mood I'm and and what the circumstances are surrounding the feelings) lust/love - my brain wants to believe that one can overcome hormone-based lust based on willpower. It is also why I scoff (not intentionally - I am trying to rectify this horrid behaviour) at those who gravitate towards one another on pure lust and no apparent logic, the latter of which I have become convinced does not exist at all with House/Cuddy (I refuse to even mention the contraction "Huddy" - sounds awful).

I see why the writers gave Cuddy the storyline of wanting a child of her own, but being unable to conceive because of her age, as it is a real and serious and growing problem for many women around the world whom originally passed on the opportunity of family to further careers (something which I actually admired Cuddy for during the first couple of seasons). Wanting a child of her own does not make her any less of a "strong" woman. However, I am personally convinced that we are have long since past that, and are now somehow into the idea that the traditional nuclear family is the only way for Cuddy to be happy, and the only way for House to be happy/fufilled while we're at it. Having a father in the family does not make a family functional, but Cuddy no longer seems satisfied with just a child; she wants the man she fancies (I refer to the UK term here, where "fancy" means "to have a crush on") as well, nevermind incompatible personalities and objectifying comments (which I am convinced she unconscously likes), and my respect for her has dwindled (along with her clothing) since mid-season 3 or so.

As for Tivo, I assume that is the American version of Sky+? We used to have Sky (not Sky+, the latter which allows you to record your favourite programmes), but they started to jack the price up by a good amount each year, and considering we had hundreds of channels which we did not watch, we ended up cancelling the package. Anyways, I have to watch House on the internet until the DVDs come out, so there's unfortunately no fast-forwarding. Even if there was, however, my morbid curiosity would eventually win out, and it would likely be a case of "Huddy" curiosity kill the Phoenix cat.

And I completely agree that the characters of House and Wilson have remarkable chemistry. <3 They should so get together, fly off to Canada and marry already.

Great reply :) here's the part of your post I am responding to:

I think the touching will be borne of love, affection, knowledge of what each needs emotionally and physically, and comfort. I too find the Huddy touching cringeworthy and just plain gross. Technically, the actors, directors are doing a good job but the Huddy physical scenes seem to lack something. I think it has to so with chemistry between the two actors - really it's just not there. Everyone knows that HL and RSL are very close friends and they enjoy working together. I think someone posted some candid shots of Epic Fail and there;s one where HL is chewing on a carrot and smiling at RSL. Of RSL looks like he's somewhere else. Now back to the characters.

I don't see House moving on Wilson in a sexual way. I really think it will be about drawing Wilson out, providing some physical comfort, and House showing Wilson how he really feels about him. It may be sexy, romatic and HOT, but I don't think sex will be the motive behind any H/W touching. I definitely think we'll see them in bed TOGETHER. We start out with them sharing a hotel room, Then House drugs and depants Wilson. Later, recall that Wilson accused House of not asking him what he wants or respecting his wishes. I think in any physical scene, we're going to see House doing both. Maybe Wilson ask House to sleep with him or House ask Wilson if he can join him. Whichever way it happens, it wil be about love and respect and comfort - NOT SEX AND LUST (which rarely if ever translate well onscreen)
