Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Wrod, because it hit him apparently after he was established, and Cuddy apparently knew him then. I want to know more about the Wilson-House timeline, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Previous eps of House have referred to the fact that before the injury he was an asshole.
He just became more of one after the injury.

I still feel cheated from House getting sprung from rehab so early. House in Rehab could have been frickin' hilarious. All that sharing and growing and holding hands...and there's House, betting on everyone's drug of choice. "Uppers...vodka, come on people, give me a hard one. Oh, excuse me, Lauren's sexually compulsive. I'm just going to change my seat, and point out for strictly therapeutic reasons that "hard one," referred to our bets and nothing else." The doctors would hate him...

House in rehab--then there's the "Is he really trying or playing them all till they throw him out or his court-ordered stay is over?" He does a nice line in "sudden realization of something important that I'll die before I admit". Like the one a season back or so when he's doing a surgery on a pregnant woman--though he's not a surgeon--and the fetus grabs his finger.

Hugh Laurie gets ideas better than any actor I've ever seen. Mostly thinking doesn't translate to the screen well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I could stand the show. Because I'd love to watch Hugh Laurie act every week.

I wonder if it comes from comedy training, because a good joke relies on double takes, and explaining it yanks most of the fun out of it.

Maybe...the comedy is why we love him when he says horrible things.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are we supposed to not notice that Sarah Shahi is pregnant?
