Yes, book now!!!! How sad that this would bring him as close as possible, in this world, to House and the other Wilson, and yet he doesn't know (how could he know?)so he might never 'book now.'

Maybe that would be for the best. Does it make it any better to know that in some other universe there's someone you can trust, who loves you...and you can't have them.

I adore this 'verse.

This is me, sitting on my hands. Sitting sitting sitting. Erk.

:-D

PUSH THE DAMNED BUTTON, WILSON!!!

Or you know - maybe not, because if you go there, and stumble through a portal the world might explode or something :)

So, so glad that there's going to be a part 2 of this :)

I can imagine our Greg House watching the documentary of his life with rapt fascination (and probably a lot of complaining and trying to ring the televison company and offer corrections)

Danube - hee hee.

David = Daniel in this world?

"I'm not crazy," he says to the TV. "I just need a break." - Love that line, the guy really does need a break.

Did I say I'm glad there's going to be a part 2???

[blackmare]

Whoops, we flubbed re: David/Daniel. I didn't even notice.

This was mostly Nightdog at work; I got it started with the TV show, and to my delight, she ran with it. We've got a solid outline for part two and are drafting away. :-)

[nightdog_barks]

I've fixed the name. Oops. *g*

PUSH THE DAMNED BUTTON, WILSON!!!

I laughed out loud. For real. :D

[blackmare]

I laughed, too, and now I keep hearing it in Yzma's "PULL THE LEVER, KRONK!" voice. :-D

[pwcorgigirl]

YAY! I love this, particularly that awesome description of House as having a "sharp, difficult expression." That's him perfectly.

[nightdog_barks]

*beams*

That was Mare's line. Isn't it great? :D

[srsly_yes]

The name dropping and name altering are too delicious! What a great AU, even if it is the worst place for Wilson. My fingers are crossed that his luck will change and something funny will happen on his way to the forum Pink Shell Beach Cabins.

I FIGURED WILSON WOULD BE A SONDHEIM FAN IN BOTH 'VERSES.

:D

Except in this 'verse, Stephen Sondheim made a bunch of musical movies. I may have watched this more than a few times last night to get into the writing mood. ;-D

[blackmare]

I am a bad movie fan. I watched that and all I could really think about was THAT IS A GORGEOUS FRIESIAN HE'S RIDING. And totally historically inaccurate; it's an old breed, but not nearly THAT old. :-D

[nightdog_barks]

LOL

I adore this Roman Captain because he's so absolutely full of himself ("I TAKE LARGE STEPS") and he is just the epitome of Sondheim's wry, funny lyric style. Later in the film he's informed (falsely, but he doesn't know that) that his betrothed has perished because SHE CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HIS MAGNIFICENCE ... and he accepts it as PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE.

Oh my god it's hysterical. :D

And that is a gorgeous horse! And he looks great on it! Because he's Miles Gloriosus!

Edited to add: That there's another glaring historical inaccuracy -- this Roman has stirrups on his saddle. Stirrups arrived from the East with Genghis Khan and his sons. Oops. *g*

[sassyjumper]

Hee, Danube :)

There's something equal parts funny and sad about this Wilson anxiously awaiting an all-night Sondheim festival. Well, f-- Sondheim ... BOOK NOW, Wilson!

Looking forward to part II :D

[nightdog_barks]

He made popcorn!

:D

[blackmare]

You won't have long to wait. We're in the cooling-it-on-the-pie-rack stage right now, making sure none of the frosting dripped in ways we didn't intend, but the thing is baked.

Unlike this analogy, which is half-baked at best. :-D
