Don't really know if this is the place for House, but.... I'm watching on tape delay, and OMG TEH SLASH. How gray the line between subtext and text. Plus, how hot.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Wasn't it, though? "Unlike your wife, I'll make it worth your while." How else can that line be taken? And then House wearing the scruffy look a year after Wilson told him unshaven looked good. This episode made me so happy, until the end, where I got sad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Unlike your wife, I'll make it worth your while."

Pfft. There's no wife. I mean, has anyone ever actually seen her?

Haven't there been several wives? All of which didn't work out? (Or am I just remembering that from fic?) House is such a delicious bastard, and yet, not really at all. And he and Wilson are so cute.

I am ruined, RUINED by the slash goggles. And loving every minute of it.

Art Crawl!!!

Doesn't the House stuff go in Natter?

I hope we get to learn about the mommy/gf killing demon in next week's Supernatural.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, if I could read this thread without having to worry about House spoilers, I'd appreciate it.

If I only had a brain...

Haven't there been several wives? All of which didn't work out?

I think that in canon he's on his third wife and is already cheating. It's definitely been mentioned in the show that he's a multiple-time loser in marriage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

House goes just about anywhere else. Not here. Header and slug altered, hopefully to clarify.

My bad... I haven't made it into Natter yet, and when I think slash, I think Boxed Set.

(Ha, maybe that should go in the slug too.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The slash-ness is in the slug.

I've got three episodes worth of Supernatural on TiVo that I haven't watched yet. Does it remain watchable? I mean, the brothers are appealing enough, but I find myself frequently bored by the Evil Spirit of the Week. I liked the one with the mirror and the The Ring rip-off, but I wish the creep factor were higher on a consistent basis.

I rather liked Threshold from last Friday, because we had the revisitation of the dreams and the sight of the bloody cabbages with teeth was genuinely spooky. Plus, my boyfriend James Frain was in it. I also liked the consistancy of how the infectees used their own individual skills to propagate the transmission.

The writing still needs to be sharper though. It's got such good actors and a neat concept that I am often saddened by the sloppy writing and how that doesn't allow the show to live up to its potential. For example, we could have had more in-depth exploration of Lucas's faith if we had him actually at the scene of the case. I did love the line about how Lucas and Ramsey (can't really think of him as Arthur) have bonded and the acknowledgement of the conflict between Molly and Fenway.
