I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

especially how "that's my best friend, isn't he AWESOME?" Shawn was at the funeral when Gus got up to sing.

That was really great. That and that Gus's grudge turned out to be justified.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For whatever reason, my DVR only picked up the last 40 minutes of House, and it was totally fine! I'm not sure if that means I should stop watching it or not.

Always Anti-fascist!

Good episode, except that Olivia Wilde can't act at all and that seems to make these producers think we want more Foreteen. If I were House, she'd be in the lab testing samples all day every day, as she makes Jennifer Morrison look like Helen Mirren.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

For whatever reason, my DVR only picked up the last 40 minutes of House, and it was totally fine! I'm not sure if that means I should stop watching it or not.

I thought it was a good episode, and I'm glad to not only see that House is still in therapy, but that he's taking it seriously now. Of course, while seeing Chef move into a culinary career may be interesting, it was inevitable he'd get back to the hospital, but I'm glad it's a process for him to get back to work, and not a hand wave. (Well, not a complete hand wave.)

Good episode, except that Olivia Wilde can't act at all and that seems to make these producers think we want more Foreteen.

Y'know, I never minded her much. Not that it matters. I really took the events of this episode to mean that Taub and 13 were more-or-less gone for real.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Did I miss something, because Foreman telling 13 he couldn't work with her because they'd fight and he NEEDED her so of course logically he fired her, made no sense to me. Doesn't he think she might break up with him for that?

If House comes back, will Taub?

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

Sharif Atkins played about the same role in CSI: Miami as he did in Criminal Minds--perpetrates a crime so that he can get the authorities looking in the right direction to get justice for a bigger crime.

Maybe he needs to switch career trajectories with Dillahunt--having just seen Dillahunt waving a gun all over a Lie To Me promo teaser I can but hope his character is taking the Sharif Atkins approach to problem solving.

Well, it's not like, visceral, Hellish-Dawn hate, but when they give her so much to do, they just remind me she's not up for it. I'm also glad they didn't just reboot like nothing is wrong with House. Also, more Andre.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, I was positive that that speech was going to end with him stepping down as department head. Or him breaking up with her. There were really three options there, and he took the one that made the least sense.

brillig

Except Foreman is often played as House Jr., with a lot of ambition. I don't think he'd pass up the chance to have House's job for anything, and he thinks this way he gets to have it all. It's going to suck if he dumps Fourteen *and* House comes back.

Prime House-Wilson, though. House always knows when Wilson is trying to play him. And now we are wondering where the Labrador pee came from.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did I miss something, because Foreman telling 13 he couldn't work with her because they'd fight and he NEEDED her so of course logically he fired her, made no sense to me.

Yeah, that was stupid.

However, House and Wilson being domestic was awesome.
