It was just ... stunning. Especially since two weeks ago, after that Career Day fiasco, I was thinking it might in fact be time to give up and stop watching.
Is it just me, or does the quality of this season seem much more uneven than previous seasons? It's some kind of erratic, to follow a stinker like "Two Stories" up with this.
Well, to be fair, last week was IMO really good, and I enjoyed the episode just prior to "Two Stories," too.
I think it's been pretty uneven ... or else it's just that when it has sucked this season, it has sucked SO HARD that it warps the perception of the episodes around it, the way a black hole bends light.
I feel the exact same way mare. I was however really looking forward to this episode. I did fear that it may leave a sick feeling in my stomach... but for totally different reasons.
It left me sick to my stomach because of him on the floor devastated taking the vicodin; I feared originally that it may leave me sick to my stomach because the "game changing" episode may have been gag worthy (skits).
That was actually the same fear I had. Based on what I'd seen in print, I was dreading this week.
And then ... this. NO, HOUSE. NO.
And while I love and respect Wilson as much as I ever have, and I think he was doing the right thing in trying to stay out of this, I really wish he hadn't said what he did about not wanting to pick up the pieces if House screwed this up. He couldn't have known what House would do, so it's not his fault, but ouch. Ouch. House didn't go to Wilson after it all came apart, or even before it all came apart, and if he had it might not have ended with him in that bathroom again.
The next one looks like it's going to have me cowering in a corner with a blanket over my head, blubbering like an idiot. I was close enough to that tonight.
It's one of those episodes where, here it is the next morning and I can't stop thinking about it.
If Rachel referred to pills as candy -- something we know House has done and Cuddy never would -- it actually suggests that regardless of what House claimed, this was not "a one-time thing." House did, at least once, take pills when Rachel was around to see it.
I asked her what I'd spoiled and she was good about it, and explained her reasoning. I still don't really get it, since in order to draw any kind of accurate conclusion based on my post, I think you'd have to be following actual spoilers. Otherwise you'd have no building blocks for that.
However, since I can recognize that I might in fact be irritating someone, and a cut takes all of five seconds to implement, I cut it.
I don't want to see the part of the fandom that will be saying hateful things about Cuddy, because she doesn't deserve that. I don't want to see whoever is rejoicing about the breakup, because as much as I hated the whole House/Cuddy thing, it hurt like hell to watch it come apart.
I don't want to see whoever is out there explaining why Wilson is a horrible unworthy friend this time. Nor do I want to see it if there are House/Wilson shippers doing some kind of ugly victory dance. Maybe none of these things are really happening, but I just don't. Want. To know.

It'll take me a while to recover, too.
