Just when I didn't think House could make me *squee* any more than I already do
Reasons To Love This Episode
--I feel like I should smoke a cigarette, that episode was so satisfying. Just, guh. Everything, the timeline/style of how it was shot, the storytelling, the performances, the humor, the omgsogayness, everything. Plus I really adore Allison Smith ever since her Kate & Ally days and especially her stint on West Wing. Soon as I saw her, I was really hoping she wasn't the one they killed, dammit.
--QUOTE OF THE YEAR OMG: House, "I'm gay." And it's CANON. Thank you and goodnight! But someone please fill me in on sneaker obsession being a gay tell. I seem to have missed that memo at the last faghag meeting.
--House and Wilson playing finger....I want to say hockey, but that was more like finger basketball/volleyball -- I about died when House's shot hit Wilson in the eye alkdkfj.
This is Wilson ---> O.O
This is Wilson after playing with House ---> --.O
Any questions?
--Those little moppets. Have decided Gus needs to grow up and marry one of them. OMG SO CUTE. And I swear I've seen that one little girl on the right from SOMEwhere. That's gonna bug me.
--Stacy getting House to sign those documents then advising Chase not to, heh! She was pissed, but you know she wouldn't have let anything happen to House or his career in the end. She's like Mel getting pissy at Brian -- but still willing to defend him in court. And House was so right about why she was mad. She missed her dysfunctional woobie. :(
--Foreman being all *gimme* when House couldn't get the pill bottle open. Foreman is so Emmett to House's Brian. There's no hero worship, just plain ole (begrudging sometimes) respect on both sides. *loves*
--Wilson in every scene, but especially doing his Chase impression aldfkjas. H: Chase loves me...and isn't Turkish. *dead*
--W: You think emotion only affects doctors' judgments?
That could be taken so many ways, but I choose it to be Wilson giving it two meanings by also referencing him and House. *firm nod*
--Okay, know how I say the actual cases on CSI lately haven't really grabbed me? This show so does not have that problem. This ep just killed me. I felt for everyone: Kayla, her brother, the little girls, even Chase, and how everything just went to hell, even when you're trying your hardest. The brother especially omg. He tried so damned hard. And you just know he's going to raise those girls as best he can.
--The scene where House confronts Chase after finding Kayla's ruptured ulcer -- I thought that was v. well done. I can't even explain why, just that it felt *real* and *raw* and it made me see both sides. Plus I snorted when it ended with House telling the camera/Stacy, "I responded with many remarks that made Chase cry, none of which I'm going to testify about..."
--S: That's how you tell this guy he's dying?
I think her disbelief/shock is v. telling how House has changed in the years they've been apart. Like he didn't used to be so ...blunt. Or else she just hasn't ever seen him work before. Heh.
--House doing the bribing/blackmailing tango. He's a "get things done, damn the consequences" kinda guy LIKE BRIAN OMG and I love.
--H: Let me tell you a story about a patient. A patient we'll call...Fusan. *dead* Oh, flist, why can't any of you be named Susan? I WOULD SO CALL YOU FUSAN FROM NOW ON AND WE WOULD LAUGH AND IT WOULD BE GREAT.
--The solemn way House listened/reacted to Chase's story in Cuddy's office. He watched Stacy confront Chase with his lies and you could just see the wheels turning as he diagnosed the situation, and then called him on his guilt-driven job sabotage. Then he admits he knew Chase was "depressed and distracted" and did the math to his father's death and guh. Such a good scene. Also something Brian would do. People think he doesn't pay attention to anyone other than himself, when he's actually filing it all away.
--House twirling his cane. Been a long while since he's given us a good twirl. :X
--Foreman being House's new boss lakdjal. AKA Cameron's dream job. I can't wait to see how that plays out. I do wonder, though, if House shot himself in the foot when he told the transplant doctor's wife about the affair even after the surgery was performed. That had to be revenge for his keyed car. :| Also, did you see Cuddy's almost-smirk when she told House about Foreman being his boss? Methinks revenge is sweet, heh.
--W: Guess I'm his best friend now. *dead*
--That last shot of House and his little smirk. That was just so loaded. :X
Reasons To Be :| :| :| With This Episode
--I still don't like Chase. I just don't, I can't help it. Yeah, I know, his dad dying threw him and he was distraught that day when Kayla came to him. And I do cut him lotsa slack for that. But I think I'd cut him even more slack if he wasn't like that with everyone. :| But anyway, there were some spots in this ep that I actually liked him. Shooting House's Vicodin across the room for one, out on the balcony with House for another.
--Cuddy's dress in the "put her on the organ donor list" scene. WTF was that?
--This ep's obsession with women keying cars as payback. If you're pissed, every woman knows you set the car on FIRE. And if he cheated, you cut his dick off and throw it out in a field.
--No great ending scene song I can download and obsessively play for days. Woe.
--Not really this ep's fault, but TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE NEXT HOUSE? UNFAIR. :((
Random Commercial Break Comments Cos I Was Kinda Sick Tonight And Didn't Flip Around Like Usual
--Has anyone had the new Carl's Jr. ice cream shake? Cos dayum, they look good. But I usually hate fast food shakes. But these! These have REAL ice cream!!1
--24 IS BACK IN JANUARY AKDJFA!!
--So is American Idol. :|
--I want to see Sarah Jessica Parker's new film like whoa. Oh, hush. It may look cheezy, but she can do no wrong in my eyes.
PIMP ALERT: You need to go here right now, plz. juteux is hosting a wonderful QaF memories thingie, for she is wonderful and likes to see me cry.
Also, LJ is still a spazz and I've realized there are comments out there that are waving their little commenty hands at me to get my attention the past few days and I didn't see them. So, yeah. I'm not being a lazy whore (like usual), I just didn't know you were talking at me. But I'm gonna be on them now like Brian on a trick soon as I post this. I'll hold down the moaning and panting, cos I know most of y'all are sleeping.
