WE WANT FAIR TREATMENT. HOUSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING A KILT. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE REGARD FOR MICROBES. I HEREBY REQUEST THAT CUDDY STOP BY HOUSE'S OFFICE ONCE A WEEK FOR "IG SHOTS."

BUT THE ZIPPER, BELT BUCKLE CLANGING, AND THE WAY YOU CAN HEAR CUDDY YANKING HIS PANTS DOWN. THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE US FLAIL EVEN IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE H/C SCENE.

HOUSE'S BALL, CHASE'S UGLY SHIRTS AND TIES, AND WILSON'S GAZILLION PENS... THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I AGREE WITH THE SHORT HAIR VERY MUCH. I DO ENJOY THE CURLS FROM S1, BUT THIS STYLE SUITS THE CHARACTER MUCH BETTER. AND WILL NOT LEAD TO AS MANY UNCOMFORTABLE HAIRPIECE SHOTS, I HOPE (BASICALLY, WHENEVER HOUSE WOULD TAKE A HAT OFF).

YES, YES. NEEEEEEEED.

Deleted scenes? (I'll take the dragging of House's body AND the orgy as deleted scenes/EPISODE. Add these to my list of things for the s5 DVDs, joining the alternate take of the kiss and Hugh's and Lisa's interview on it, and the GENIUS hilarity of the RSL/LE cracktastic video.) I'd like to see who came up with it. It could be either, really. They both have a history of either drugging House without his knowledge or just doing a bait and switch.

I'LL JOIN YOU ON THE CAMPAIGN OF "WEEKLY IG SHOTS: BECAUSE EVERY MISANTHROPIC DOCTOR NEEDS ONE!"

LOL YES THE CLANGING BELT. THAT MADE SMILE. AND IN THE S4 FINALE WHEN CUDDY IS AT HIS PLACE AND HE ZIPS UP HIS FLY IN FRONT OF HER? WIN.

CHASE'S HAIR CAN GO ON THE LIST TOO. AND OMG CAMERON'S HAIR. AND WILSON'S SUPERMAN STANCE. HAHAHA OMG.

LOL OH GOD. THE HAIRPIECE SHOTS. SHORT HAIR IS SO MUCH BETTER. I'VE BEEN DYING FOR SHORT HAIR SO WHEN THE PROMO STUFF CAME OUT FOR S5 I WAS LIKE YESSS FINALLY AFTER FIVE YEARS THEY GET IT RIGHT.

Deleted scenes! Yes. AAALLLLLL FOR IT. OMG. I'm all for as many alternate takes of that kiss scene possible. ;) And omg, the RSL/LE interview cracks me up every single time I watch it. THEY ARE HILARIOUS. TOO BAD HL WASN'T IN ON IT TOO. I vote Wilson came up with the plan and Cuddy just found the perfect excuse to give him a shot (and pull down his pants because who WOULDN'T want to ;)).

MISANTHROPIC DOCTORS, IN PARTICULAR, NEED TO BE UP TO DATE ON THEIR SHOTS. FACT.

I LOVED THE RANDOM WTFNESS OF THE ZIPPING OF HIS FLY IN THE FINALE. AND CUDDY'S REACTION. WAS IT EVEN SCRIPTED? IT WAS SO RANDOM, LOL.

EVERYTIME I SEE SOMEONE ON THIS SHOW DOING THE SUPERMAN STANCE, I FIGURE THEY'RE DOING THEIR WILSON IMPRESSION.

THERE ARE TWO PIECE SHOTS THAT I FOUND FAIRLY TRAUMATIC. HOUSE REMOVING HIS BASEBALL CAP IN A S3 EP, AND WHEN HE PULLED HIS SCRUB/DO-RAG IN THE BUNSON BURNER SURVIVOR SPOOF IN S4.

When I KNOW there are deleted scenes, I wanna fucking SEE THEM ON THE DVD. They seriously dropped the ball on the s4 DVDs -- teasing us with awesome sounding extras, then changing them, WHILE STILL CHARGING JUST AS MUCH AS PAST SETS FOR THE SHORTENED SEASON. You need to redeem yourselves, people! The RSL/LE vid is edited to perfection... I need to make people around me watch it. I don't know if they'll find it as hilarious as I do, but damn. That and the alternate cut of the kiss I just HAVE to watch whenever I go to the FOX site.

Yeah, come to think of it, it would've had to have been Cuddy thinking on her toes. Wilson most likely would not have known about SARS!patient. Oh, to imagine a follow-up scene between House and Cuddy, with him calling her out on her plan. It plays like their last scene in "Paternity" in my head!

[crumpled_up]

LOL WILSON IMPRESSION!

DUDE. I WAS SO PISSED WHEN THERE WEREN'T DELETED SCENES ON THE S4 DVDS. It's like the only thing I look forward to haha and then they didn't have it! *ANGRY FACE* I'm hoping the extras will be so much better than in the past. Preferably commentaries by the actors not just limited to DS and KJ. It's always funnier when the actors make fun of themselves or the others and tell inside jokes. So much love. That's what I always loved with my Alias dvds.

Paternity. Oh man. How I wish a version of that scene happened at the end of this ep. I just love to see House splutter and Cuddy look all smug that the one-upped him. Ooooh I love the smell of victory.

AND BLOOPERS! But deleted scenes... we knew they'd filmed a lot more of the striptease (and I'm not gay enough yet). They teased us with cast commentaries. I love how the Alias DVDs actually have VIDEO commentaries. And the full cast... that can be a bit much. But a Hugh/Lisa or H/RSL or H/L/RSL would've been good fun. The featurettes were at least decent. I was hoping we'd get something like the s3 feature on "The Jerk" for the finale. The finale BEGGED for a lot more attention in extras than we got. :/

I ALWAYS want H/C closure scenes, lol. "Finding Judas" most of all -- and we FINALLY got SOME resolution on that (if not intentional, we can certainly fanwank it with ease). In s4, I wanted a follow-up to the thong stealing (which I hated, much as I love Cuddy's thongs and all). I'm pretty sure I remember ellixian writing a post-ep for that one. *sigh* Missed opportunities!
