cblj_backupSam's Three Things About House MD!
1. I liked that there was only one crack about hot lesbian action, and it was from Cameron. Contrary to what many believe, House doesn't make politically incorrect jokes because it's fun, he makes them when they serve a purpose. In this particular case, there was no reason to crack on lesbians, it had no bearing on the case. So, no jokes. Which is another thing I like -- that a gay couple was shown just like any other couple, and that their relationship was just as INCREDIBLY FUCKING DYSFUNCTIONAL OMG. I totally called the girlfriend knowing she was about to be dumped, though, which was kind of disappointing.
2. This episode had so many one-liners it's well-nigh impossible to choose one to quote, but:
Cameron: We've got rectal bleeding.
House: What, all of you?
3. I actually cheered (and woke up the dog) when Wilson said "because you're all about the teaching" and House just gave him a look. Because House is all about the teaching. There are moments in this show when I have intense flashbacks to my first adult mentor, because he did the exact same thing. He treated me as if I was smarter, cooler, and way more well-adjusted than I was, and thus I learned how to be those things. It sucked and sometimes I hated him, but I don't regret a second of it. Ninety percent of what you see on this journal -- any independence, mental flexibility, good temper, and intolerance for egowank -- is his doing. House has three incredibly agile and intelligent minds to mould, and he doesn't care if they think he's an asshole while he does it. Good for him. Cameron should have known that if he didn't get the article back to her in two weeks, he wasn't going to, and she should have just asked him to sign it, or gone to someone else for the signature.
3a. I'm not sure I like House's new cane. His old one was mo pimpin. And I really can't believe I'm paying that much attention to it. *facepalm*
Screencaps and icons to follow. One of the few perks of fanning a TV show again is that I can make icons of it on a regular basis.

I agree about the teaching thing, totally. For knowing House so well, you'd think Wilson would understand that by now. I totally got it by, like, the third or fourth ep. ;)

I think Wilson does know it. But part of his job is to reassure House that he's still seen as a bastard. He lets House pretend that he doesn't care. I still think my favourite line was Cuddy's about putting Wilson in his own cage.

What did you think about Foreman? I was sort of disappointed in his little speech to Cameron. It was kind of like watching him kick a puppy. Of course Cameron could use some toughening up.

Well....I think if he wants colleagues instead of friends, that's okay, but you still don't fuck over your colleagues. I think the only reason he didn't apologise was that she told him he should. If she had just said "I'm sorry" and walked away, he probably would have said "me too". He admitted to Chase that he should have. But Foreman's stubborn, and she basically said "I'm apologising so that you'll apologise to me", which ticked him off. And Cameron really should have known better than to think House was going to read something if he didn't read it in the first month. :D

I watched seven hours of House today. Are you proud of me? ;) Although really, I would be more proud of me if I had spent seven hours studying. And it was really more like 4 hours, because they're only 40 minutes long.

This might have been the best episode of this season. More once I watch it again.

Cameron drove me up the wall this episode. It was like, hey yeah, colonoscopy, how about you bring up your shit with Foreman, I don't know, ANYWHERE else. Let's ignore the screaming dying girl, lolz.
