YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME HURRY UP AND DO "ADVERSE EFFECTS" AND "JOY" SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE GAPS, AREN'T YOU? ;D
I WANT TO FLAIL WITH YOU. I THINK I NEED TO HEAD OVER TO YOUR LJ AND DO SO, SEEING AS HOW THIS EPISODE INSPIRED YOU AND ALL.
What'd you think about the bug -- was it there or not? My initial thought was that considering it was in the same spot as the "bite" on the other hand, he chalked it up to being all in his head. My second thought, if that's the not the case, was that he didn't swat it because he actually LIKED what he'd been thinking about all day.
And Cameron WAS an idiot, you're right. This is what gets me with the "Cuddy's a horrible doctor" thing -- they ALL suck some of the time. The biggest difference is that we don't get to see DOCTOR Cuddy all that often.

Re the bug - hmmm. I think it was set up so you can go either way on it. I can't even decide which way I'd rather be. Psychosomatic, I guess, since I always like it when House gets a reality check (and mindfuck) since he's always screwing with everyone else.
ARGH CAMERON FAIL. But, then again, Cuddy IS a shit doctor. We've discussed this. ;) I wish TPTB didn't make her quite so faily, but every time Cuddy is in doctor mode, I fear for POTW's life, I cannot lie.

I'm not sure which I prefer either. Liss had a poll and I couldn't decide on an answer, lol.
True, all we've seen of Cuddy says she's a shit doctor. Didn't we decide that she must've had SOME skillz, in order to make it to Dean of Medicine, despite being young AND having a vagina? I know, you can be good at schmoozing and get it that way -- but you'd have to be competitive, right? The only glimpse we get at Doctor!Cuddy typically involves her getting involved when she SHOULDN'T be involved. That doesn't really help matters. (But at least we can say Cuddy never never did ecstasy -- I mean, THAT puts her ahead of the other female doctors! ;))
I fear for their life, too. Especially considering the odds of death by cleavage!
