Ok. Good. So: where to start? Hugh Laurie's faces are always a strong selling point, I feel, yes *nods*. He can pack so much into one expression (and he must, because the dialog is certainly not going give us any hint).
I'm not sure if you mind spoilers about what's happened before re. House/others, because there's some interesting developments in terms of his relationships (or else the writers are all over the place and can't stay consistent come hell or high water ;-P)
IKR? It's amazing he can wring anything new or subtle out of the same old interactions. Tell me what you thought of 8x20! I am happy to be spoiled, for things before or even after.
(I know Thirteen is coming back and I am psyched!)
Ok, see, the big thing that happened in the past season was that House and Cuddy started a relationship. As you can surmise, it didn't end well (in fact it pretty much ended as badly as possible, with House driving his car through her living room and going to prison for a year -the first episode of this season he was serving his sentence and it's highly recommended viewing). The relationship had it's highs and lows, until she had a cancer scare and House basically bailed on her, only to drag himself back to her bedside after a fortifying dose of drugs. Cuddy decided she couldn't deal anymore with his drug problem and dumped his ass. And then, since the show is called House, she's the one who had to quit her job and move out of state
( ... )
Interesting! I kind of followed the whole Cuddy debacle without actually watching, but I had no idea about the other plot--it sounds worth watching!
But yeah, all that makes the way he's sticking with Wilson even more moving *sniff*
All those moments were my favorites too! Plus him saying that he didn't mind changing adult diapers 'cause he's a doctor (like he'd ever do that for anyone else!), holding the bucket for Wilson to be sick in and (especially) just sitting and waiting for Wilson to wake up at the end. (one of my all-time favorite house moments is House doing paper work with his legs up on Wilson's hospital bed after the whole kidney transplant thing).
And the faces! HL does that "I stare death in the face every day" look better than anybody. And his expression in 8x20 while Wilson was trying to park the car? amused/irritated/affectionate/philosophical with moving more than a few muscles.
Well, if you want to see some high-quality m/m h/c up on your screen, I completely recommend 8x19!
I don't know hardly anything about what's happened in seasons 7 & 8, but it didn't matter (except that I didn't know the names of half the current fellows, but that didn't matter). I'm definitely watching the last two episodes of the show now (it's ending this year).
I totally agree with you about House. Haven't watched for a couple years but did catch the last couple episodes, and I will finish the year with the show as well. To me, it's always been about Wilson & House, and it has been lovely watching the two of them in action again.
I couldn't agree more! Together, they really are the best, and I'm glad the writers had the good sense to spend at least a good part of the closing episodes on their relationship (though I'm a little afraid of having my heart ripped to shreds)

I'm going to miss him too!
