Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
AGhhhhhh! Forgot all about House. Is there any reason he's being all evil to the person who always thought she was a chick? You don't have to be wildly sensitive to break something like that to someone gently -- its not like they've need to be snapped out of some sort of denial or pressured to tell the truth or die.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think he's being evil because he's in pain. It's making him even less sensitive than usual.
I totally called the diagnosis, too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
House: No other reason than he's an ass, Trudy. I mean, seriously, I know he's not Mr Sensitive on the best of days, but he could take a damn minute to tell the poor girl she's intersexed. Jesus. I found it extremely difficult to have sympathy for him this episode; while we've all seen him use pain as an excuse before, the fact that it was psychosomatic and forced him to question his own addiction was a long time coming and a poor reason for behaving like a shit to everyone.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
House: What, y'all have never been cranky?

Thanks, Housies.
Is it just me, or does chick commentator really really really like saying "twizzle"?

House and GA: There is cranky. And then there is cruel and unthinking. Which, granted, is something of a farce when speaking of House. But really--between Meredith being selfish and foolish with George, and House being thoughtlessly mean (which is very different from his deliberate mean, and that is where I'm drawing the line) I'm finding it hard to have sympathy for these folks that take out their frustration on other people with stunning cruelty, intentional or no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know from House, but I find it perfectly plausible that Meredith thinks she should choose the good guy, steer away from the married man, and maybe this is what she must do. We'll see next week, but I think there are in-character and non-horrible (though self-deluding and probably damaging in the long run) explanations for her behaviour.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday, Jon!
Another night in Natter, another show whitefont that I have to leave in another window so I don't read it until we get to the right timezone...
