House Babble for Everybody Dies

May 22, 2012 09:42

First a quick, sentimental thank-you to everyone who has read and commented on these posts over the last six years. I realize a lot of you haven't always agreed with me and some may have been out and out offended, but most of you stuck with me anyway. (Including those who kept telling me I should just stop watching the show for my own good ( Read more... )

Once again we don't agree (re: the ending) but I love reading your screeds! So incisive, so committed, and so damn funny!

I figure after five months Wilson dies a hideous real-cancer death and House kills himself. Works for me.

I had a feeling. It might have worked for me IF it had happened before so much other crap. Now it just didn't feel earned at all. So a hearty fuck you to David Shore. Thanks for reading all these years, even when you disagreed.

I guess my "blind spot" is to let the "dreamscape" stuff go, while putting the hammer down on the H/W fanservice that is always too little too late. Obviously I totally disagree with your disagreement. The great thing about those first two seasons were how well the they planted the seeds of House's addiction and self-destruction.

If you got a happy out of this, good on ya, but I still find it bogus and demeaning. Exactly...the easy rider imagery, but still no physical contact and a whole season full of "we're not really gay" jokes.

Thanks for reading and commenting and sticking with me all this time.

I didn't watch and don't plan to....could you give me the highlights?

There were Cameron scenes? Hm, I may actually have to watch this episode now.

In pieces and on Youtube, to control my urge to barf at the insincerity, but anyways...

And I totally agree. They can't spend 6 seasons cramming the PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE and THERE ARE NEVER HAPPY ENDINGS down our gullets, and then expect us to buy into a unicorn-and-rainbow ending (of sorts, given House didn't 'cure' Wilson). Yeah, definitely happy I didn't watch. I'd either have puked or died of hysterical LOLs.

Anyways, I know we didn't always agree (especially about Cam in the early days, LOL), but one of the few AWESOME outcomes of this show was meeting and becoming friends with you, Karaoke. So it was all worth it! *big hugs*

The bulk of the episode was House talking to his subconscious is the forms of Kutner, Amber, Stacy and (last of all) Cameron. Those scenes were very well done and there was so much genuine warmth and affection between House and Cam, even though she was just a part of his subconscous. Those scenes are well worth watching ( ... )

Hm. Maybe they'll show up on Youtube at some point.

I really regret being a young and stupid heterophobic slasher

*hugs* Not as bad as many of the other slashers I've encountered...or we wouldn't still be friends! :)

Really, we're all in fandom together, and does it really matter if one is a het or slash shipper? It's always nice when canon and fanon agree, but that doesn't mean if someone's particular ship happened to become canon, that this now elevates that shipper to some kind of TV!God!!!

H/Cam complete with sex, angst, and a very messy break-up would still have worked from a H/W angst point of view AND been a much better set-up for Cam to leave if that was what Jen wantedI am not sure if JM wanted out or was pushed out, but either way, I would've been ALL for House/Cam sex! Sigh ( ... )

On the plus side, can we talk about the amusingness that was RSL conning Hugh into shooting his own foot with round of paintball ammo?

We could, but then we would have to discuss the oh-so-unfortunate appearance of Mr. Leonard's facial hair. UNLESS we have verification that's he going into a Broadway show that requires it, there was NO EXCUSE for that horror show. (Come on, Gaby...make him shave it, please!)

Clearly he's waiting for somebody to protest the scruff and make him shave it off.

I'm not crazy about Chase's neckbeard or Foreman's goatee, but RSL is one of those men who should really NEVER try to grow the stuff. *shudder*
