Dorkage: House 4x10 It's A Wonderful Lie

Jan 31, 2008 01:47

Curses to LJ and Firefox for killing my original draft, WTF happened!

Anyway. NEW HOUSE YES? NEW HOUSE, YES. WE HAVE WAITED TOO LONG. I HAVE MISSED YOU, LISA.

Not as awesome an episode as I'd been hoping for, but some really excellent, cute moments all the same...

- Okay, so I have to admit that, in terms of some of the great stuff we've had in Season ( Read more... )

Ha, I did like the lapdance comment. And I do like 13, more or less...yeah, she's a little boring, but she brings a touch of professionalism to the House team. And she has the most amazing cheekbones ever... I'm hoping they pull out a very dry, witty sense of humor with her.

Cameron. Back to brown. Please. Although you looked great on TV Guide, the blonde is not working out, overall.

Oh, and I loved the singing, too!

ellixian January 30 2008, 19:23:24 UTC

Absolutely agreed on everything. Olivia Wilde is crazy-gorgeous, I must say, but they need to give her something to do other than be mysteriously frustrating for House.

Hugh singing probably made my night. No, my WEEK.

ex_bluebonn January 30 2008, 19:26:53 UTC

YES YES. Olivia is made of hot. But she really needs something do besides NOTHING AT ALL.

ex_bluebonn January 30 2008, 19:24:32 UTC

AM I ALONE IN THINKING THAT OUR SHIP HAS SAILED INTO WATERS ENTIRELY MADE OF SEX.

I DID NOT KNOW THERE WERE SUCH WATERS, BUT UM HAI IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WHEN I WAS LEARNING HOW TO SWIM.

Oh, and also I may be doing a project on FANDOM SPEAK at uni because I win like that - can I quote you in it?? Namely the ship sailing over sexy waters part.

ellixian January 30 2008, 19:29:15 UTC

I CAN SWIM BUT I'VE DECIDED THAT I SHALL UNLEARN THAT SKILL IF THE HOUSE/CUDDY WATERS ARE MADE ENTIRELY OF SEX AND SCHTUPPING.

And lol!! Fandom speak project ftw! There'll be lots of capping and random flailing, for sure. Are you in a linguistics course or something? (And feel free to quote my flail - the world can know what a dork I am, LOL.)

ex_bluebonn January 30 2008, 19:48:00 UTC

I'm in a linguistics PROGRAM. I can't find my course outline for my boring DA class, but I think there's a final project, and I'm going to propose looking at discourse in fandom because MY ENTIRE FLIST LIKES TO FLAIL. I could do all of my research on LJ. WIN.

ellixian January 30 2008, 19:49:48 UTC

THAT'S THE KIND OF RESEARCH WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING, LOL. I'D EVEN HELP YOU OUT. IMAGINE TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE RE-SPELLING OF WORDS LIKE 'MORE' TO 'MOAR', LOL.

It really is jarring when you watch the earlier episodes, especially season one, and you compare how much time is spent on the medicine. Obviously, I love the House/Cuddy action and wouldn't want to trade it for anything, but the medical cases are just hard to follow now. They don't really give you much to work with. This was most glaring with the 40 fellowship candidates. The POTW and the clinic POTW (did we really need her to have MORE freakin' airtime than CUDDY??) were all very WTF. Though I did love House's interaction with the POTW's kid.

Agreed on the better of Wilson's personalities in this episode!

D2 -- I believe that was the tagline for the second Mighty Ducks movie? How about Ducklings Lite? *eye roll* 13 = Cameron at her most annoying, in this episode ( ... )

ex_bluebonn January 30 2008, 19:56:31 UTC

I agree that everything needs more Cuddy. But I love the medicine and actually could go for more weird medical cases with lots of details that are just WTF, because I'm a nerd.

Actually, more medicine AND more Cuddy, please. And if we can throw in Wilson, CTB, and the Ridiculously Old Fraud, that'd be great too.

jukebox_grad January 30 2008, 20:13:38 UTC

There was definitely more time devoted to the case -- still a little distant and lacking in details. But at least we got some home invasion and some good old fashioned deception. I think now that they decided on which of the new ducklings are staying, they'll bring back some of the medicine.

So far this season, I think "Ugly" has been the best at balancing screentime for the characters. Definitely not enough Cuddy. It doesn't look like there will be much next week, either.

Wilson, CTB, ROF -- and I gotta add Chase to the mix. I love me some Chase!

ex_bluebonn January 30 2008, 20:20:17 UTC

Ugly has been my favourite episode this season too. I just rewatched the first two seasons, and I miss the dynamics of those episodes, but what are you gonna do. I'm warming to the new Ducklings (Ducklings Lite?) - even 13 because with Cameron being almost tolerable, I need another hot boring chick to hate.

A Cameron I like is a Cameron with no dialogue!
Hee, that's what I was thinking. I didn't even realize she wasn't there during the episode, so in the end I was like "Oh yay there's Chase and he's smiling and looking so pretty! And... oh, right. Cameron." LOL She looks pretty, but doesn't really need any dialogue, no.

*runs to my_vicodin*

ellixian January 30 2008, 19:48:43 UTC

If she were there to be pretty next to PrettyPretty!Chase, that would definitely be ideal. Jennifer's pretty enough. JUST NO DIALOGUE, PLEASE, ESPECIALLY WHEN 13 SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN OVER THE MANTLE OF HAVING THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS TO SAY IN THE WHOLE SHOW.

Have fun flailing at the pic-spam!! :)

book232 January 30 2008, 20:02:44 UTC

I actually don't find Thirteen that annoying. She's not my favourite new duckling, but I don't hate her either.

ellixian January 31 2008, 05:44:41 UTC

I get a little carried away with the 13 bashing at this point - so far she's not horrible, but she's also not shaping up to be the big mystery they keep selling her to be. Love how House calls her Huntington's, though. And everyone still calls her 13. Random!

housem24fan January 30 2008, 21:17:40 UTC

I enjoyed really reading your review! I didn't catch the episode(recorded it for future viewing once I've caught up with the other eps),but I was curious as to what the opinion of it was ( ... )

ellixian January 31 2008, 06:03:09 UTC

Hey hon, hope you get a chance to watch the episode soon!

No Cam is always good news in this camp, although she really is not quite so annoying a presence this season. I hope they figure out what to do with her and Chase, for serious.

13 > is okay, just a little pissy with House this episode. I still don't hate her as much as I have Cameron, so I'm hoping things get better.

LOL, OUR SHIP IS WIN, YES IT IS. Seriously. They were in it for 30 seconds together, and still everything was all about sex with them. Lapdance and bondage? WIN.

Glad to see you back and up and about in the fandom, hon!
