Ha, even Wilson's ex knows the OTP is House-Wilson. House isn't interested in Cuddy, he doesn't want to lose Wilson to another wife.

Wilson and Cuddy at the sex art show was fun. "Is that a bicycle pump?"

What I liked about this episode was that they were looking so hard for something exotic and what it was, was actually rather basic and easily overlooked.

I think Foreman is going to be my new woobie. The SPN folks can have their not-so-happy little threesome. This is going to be just me and Eric.

You can have him Sail, because I just found myself Not Caring. I'm not quite sure why that is, but I've had such a lack of caring about the Ducklings this season. (Well, except for Chase, because I think he's my woobie for this show...) But this season has felt uneven for some reason, and I think I'm going to have to rewatch over the hiatus to get a better picture.

I liked House's comment about Wilson being compulsive about being on good terms with his exes. Are you maybe a little bitter there, Greg? Subtext, not so much with the sub.

Art Crawl!!!

GG: Over at TWOP lots of people are mentioning Oz (as in Wizard of) references. All I can think of are Lorelai riding her bicycle and Jackson destroying her dollhouse. Did any of you guys noticing anything of the sort?

I like Chase politely reminding Cameron "every Tuesday" that he's still willing to do things with her. It's freaking her out that he's not accepting her pronouncement and he's not being broken at her feet.

Oh, I think the lady doth protest too much. If it didn't matter to her, she would just let it go and when Chase asks, offer up a "thanks, but no thanks" and leave it at that. Her blather is all because she's the one who is afraid of caring too much, so she has to transfer it to him.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

What I liked about this episode was that they were looking so hard for something exotic and what it was, was actually rather basic and easily overlooked.

I liked that too -- they spend so much time treating zebras that when a horse comes in they don't recognize it. (Though I do feel like they need to find another note for Foreman to play than "He's black, remember?")

I like Chase politely reminding Cameron "every Tuesday" that he's still willing to do things with her.

I'd have preferred it without the meta (seriously, television writers, not everything has to take place on the day of the week the show airs! we know it's fiction!), but I like the way the relationship is going.

Oh, and I love that House can pull up an anagram of his name just like that. It's so him.

I love how House tells Wilson that the gave Foreman a whole "guilt is useless" speech and then in the next breath reveals that Wilson's ex has guilted him into taking the dog.

Wilson's ex has guilted him into taking the dog

I think it's another way for House to get Wilson into his place, because Wilson apparently quite likes the dog. This episode was pretty clearly "House is damned possesive of Wilson and doesn't want anyone else to have him." If I thought they'd go that way, I'd expect House to back Wilson against a wall, kiss him and say "You're mine, get it? No one else can have you." Though he could still say it to Cuddy, "Stay away from him, bitch, he's mine."

Wilson's ex has guilted him into taking the dog

Something that didn't strike me until I got into work today... I have some pictures from a TV Guide magazine article about House tacked up on the cube wall, and one of them has the quote, "House will never get a puppy. You won't find him sweetening up or becoming more compassionate. That would be the end of our show."

Puppy down, sweetness and compassion to go.

If I thought they'd go that way, I'd expect House to back Wilson against a wall, kiss him and say "You're mine, get it? No one else can have you."

I'm glad I'm not the only person who read that into it.
