I'm so tired I don't want to deal with House's drama tonight. That's how it went through my head, "I so don't want to deal with House tonight." Then it occurred to me I was complaining about a TV character like he was someone I was going to have to visit. Which, hey, it's a TV show, no one's making me watch it, but it's an interesting take on the character, that I feel his personality like he was a real person I associate with and not someone I stare at on the TV.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cuddy is the world's biggest House/Wilson shipper.

Cuddy is the world's biggest House/Wilson shipper.

Heh. I was thinking the same thing.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Whoa. Wilson stepped outside the show and realized how unhealthy his relationship with House is. I hope it sticks. I find House amusing but mostly horribly unlikeable.

The Closer:

When the kid started talking about people lining up to die, did anyone else flash on Oz's line from Buffy about where he would go if he was going to line up for something? I couldn't believe it when they ended up at the mall too.

I didn't hate Cameron! She was useful and sympathetic and insightful!

And you just know Foreman wishes he had the means to run away again.

Chase is becoming the House of surgery, isn't he? I'm beginning to be quite fond of Chase the Go-To Surgeon who Knows How House Thinks.

Yes, Cuddy is a House/Wilson shipper, and yay her for yelling at Wilson too.

And House, finally honest, as only Wilson can make him be, and finding out it's not only not enough but that he was the problem all along. I think Wilson is going to remember why he likes House. I don't think it's all enabling. He's going to miss the more vivid world where House is.

Let me end this with saying Hugh Laurie has the most amazing eyes, and when he was gazing piercingly at 17 in his conference room, it was very . . . moving.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Hey, my friend was watching House and her Tivo cut off the last few minutes. Can anyone recap for me?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, it was bullshit. "House" flowed into "Fringe."

Essentially, Wilson told House that he didn't want to hurt House's feelings and told him that it was because of Amber that he was leaving the hospital. The real reason Wilson was leaving is because he was too close to House and found that their relationship was unhealthy. So he said goodbye to House and left.

I didn't think he cared one whit about hurting House's feelings, he just said he didn't blame House for Amber's death. He said House creates/has only misery around himself, and Wilson felt he was enabling that. He told House they weren't OK and that they weren't friends anymore and he didn't think he and House had ever been friends. Then he walked out and House had a look of flabbergasted pain on his face.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

The whole thing felt like a break-up speech, like Wilson was intentionally hurting House in order to break the last tie so he can leave. Time will tell, I guess...
