I have been having a hard time with House lately.
I mean it's a show that I usually enjoy having a hard time with, because while I have a huge soft spot for Gregory House the person (a guy who is very much like my late dad), Gregory House, the Doctor presses so very many of my buttons. But that being said, the current arc has been getting progressively more difficult for me to take.
This whole idea of a) House being an addict who needs to quit his pain pills just... grrrr. And worse than that, the people in House's life doing these absolutely unconscionable things to *save* House from himself and his choices, also grrrr. I have been ready to bitchslap Wilson into next week for being such a giant moralistic pussy and martyr. And I fucking LOVE Wilson. Cuddy too. And Cameron's bipolar outpouring/withdrawal of her love throughout has just made me want to strangle her (oh how I cheered on Kadeem Hardison in that scene.) Only Chase and Foreman have managed to keep their moralizing to themselves -- and by 'to themselves' I mean 'behind House's back' which at least doesn't have them manipulating the fuck out of him. So, really, this whole arc has just made me madder and madder and also sadder and sadder, because it looked like the 'Good Guys' were going to win and it was all going to be hugs and learning and House actually apologized to Wilson and... gah.
I almost couldn't watch. But I am SOOOOO glad I did.
Oh my god, the INTEGRITY of that last scene. HA HA HA HA HA IN YOUR FACE YOU DRUG FREE, PAIN FREE, LEARN TO DEAL AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE LOSERS!!!! HOUSE JUST TOOK YOUR BALL AWAY AND SLAM FUCKING DUNKED YOU AMATEURS!!!
I just have to say how delighted I am to have been taken in and have it all have been House's game all along.
HOUSE WINS!
*is pleased*
(no, I know it's not all that coherent. I do not care. I just had to say it.)
