And Sweets, in his costume ... which he probably DID have in his closet - love!

And I was very amused that he was a redshirt.

That was an interesting House episode. The House/Wilson/Cuddy dynamics are getting all weird. I really felt like we needed a bit more backstory on the methadone -- where did he get it?

Is House's limp caused entirely by pain? It would seem like, with a big piece of thigh muscle missing, there would be certain ways that he just couldn't move his leg, but in the episodes at the beginning of the third season after the ketamine treatment, it seemed like he had full use of the leg, which would seem to indicate that the limp is from guarding against the pain.

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

I caught a bit of this episode, and was a little confused. But then I opted to try daily morphine to cut my chronic pain, and that made me quite stupid. I don't know how much stupid is too much.

But anyway--he was still limping without the pain.

This time, yes. Still limping, but not as much. But after the Ketamine, he wasn't limping at all. He was going jogging.

Huh. Probably plot convenience.

The posters up in the boy's bedroom were odd. It was a mix of sports stuff and theater stuff. I don't remember all the shows, but there were posters for both Rent and Annie. He seems a bit young for Rent, and it seems like exactly the sort of show that his mother would be keeping him away from. But Annie? I grew up with a bunch of theatery kids, and did not know a single person, male or female, who had an Annie poster at any age older than about 7.

Did House figure out by the end that Hadley and Foreman are still together? I wasn't sure, with the comment about the shoes.

I thought he was still just being nice, and still dumb. Guess coming off methadone was a good idea after all.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This weeks episode of House killed me ded, and my allergies may have even acted up a bit when he through his cane into the dumpster.

I thought he looked at Foreman when he said it, so I thought he knew.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't care about Dr. Hadley. Ever. Not even a little bit. Foreman did need to get some, but I'm completely over (ugh) Foreteen. Even without methadone."I'm that good," And I think the parallel they were trying to draw between the boy's gender identity and Hadley being bisexual(which is imo, becoming her "Lana's parents are dead." No, duh, really?) missed the mark by more than a little, at the risk of sounding like a white guy coming out of Boyz N the Hood in '92 all "Dude, I had no idea..." but maybe I'd give any Hadley storyline the stinkeye at this point, what with hating her and all that.

Was House happy after ketamine? And slow?
