My friends who have seen the most recent House episode, 'Airborne'. I must ask you all.
What. The Fuck. Was That?
This is the first time in a while I felt the need to rant about an episode, so I may be lacking in a few points.
The beginning was okay for me. I thought it was a little strange to see a 58 year old woman calling a hooker(did anyone else start thinking of S1?) but it was probably the easiest part to see in the entire episode.
(Stupid parents and Dancing With the Stars, I missed the first part of Wilson's clinic scene.) Seizures. Interesting.
Sick. On a plane. I wouldn't've minded being House's stand-in for Chase. Anyway, the passengers on that idiot plane drove me nuts. But enough of that, I've more important things to mention.
200% More Wilson this ep! YAY!!!! I'm so happy he got more screentime this episode, even if there was nonexistent interaction with House. Well, standing in for him is good enough I guess. (If I don't get bogged down, expect a post-ep ficlet...)
Breast Cancer. Hannah is going to kill me for this one. I'm breaking out in hysterics as soon as he says it and my parents are staring at me as if I'm insane. Sorry, it's an inside joke that Hannah and I have since we're so in love with RSL. "I have cancer! Take me to Wilson!"
House's trip down Cuddy Lane is likely to make Hannah happy. Personally, I loved the interaction between House and Cuddy this episode, but now is where I begin the crappy points of the episode, and I'm usually tolerant to what people on every community call crap...
One. What the hell is with the anxiety, pardon me, MASS HYSTERIA disorder diagnosis? It's not even a real freaking physical sickness! It's like House's dream in No Reason, except without all the suspense and character interaction.
Two. Sex. In a patient's bedroom. WHAT THE HELL WAS CAMERON THINKING! Her and Chase are like horny insatiable teenagers going through puberty and a massive sense of exploration! Sure, I didn't mind it in the beginning, they're cute together, but then Cameron goes and breaks it off in the end. I'm sorry to all of you who actually like Cameron, but she is turning into a major bitch. I was holding onto a thread of hope that her character wasn't completely lost, but apparently TPTB are going in for the kill as to make way for the *WARNING: SPOILER RUMORS FOR S4* supposed House/Cameron aspect that Season 4 is supposed to bring about. *END WARNING*
Three. Because of Mom's opportune shoutout at something or other, I missed the final diagnosis for the lady completely, but I did see Something Bromi(de?) on the front door and a rusty pipe. Heavy Metal Toxicity or Pesticide Poisoning? If it was the former, it's been done at least three times already, and is the most common beginning theory(aside from Lupus). The writers need to move on. If it's the latter, then it's been done at least once. The writers still need to move on.
Four. Medicine was crap on the plane. Third time I was able to guess the diagnosis before it was mentioned. Joint pressure, getting suspicious; wallet, I think I got it; Scuba, DUH! Bends and Anxiety(or whatever) Disorder. Wonderful way to conclude the epidemic I was expecting after previews last week...
Five. Wilson, Wilson, Wilson... Are they trying to get him into another fling? "Hi. This is Dr. Wilson...(what's her name?)'s doctor...James..." What the hell? Either he thinks she's hot and needs a little release, or he's figured out her 'business' and is looking for a little release from his sexual tension since House won't give him any. XD Either way, *cringes* Getaway getaway getaway!!!! House, can't you see what you've done to him?
I think that's everything I wanted to mention about the episode, except for the fact that I liked the parallels between the plane scenes and the hospital scenes.
I will now interrupt this public announcement to mention that my
Stump the Writer meme is still ongoing. If you feel the need to request a drabble from me, take a look in my fic archives and pick a line or three. My fic archive is updated to April 1st, so Cycles is not in it yet.
Okay, I have post-ep ficlets to write...hopefully. Farewell...
