Is that what happened? I thought when Wilson came to talk to House, House said something like "I know it wasn't you", which confused me, but if I heard that wrong that it makes much more sense, in a not making very much sense way.

Yeah, I thought that when Wilson came to talk to House, they said that House was the one who'd canceled the ticket.

I wish they'd discuss a bit more what House is doing for pain management now. He seems to be barely leaning on his cane in a lot of scenes, which seems weird, since I would have thought that getting off the Vicodin would mean more pain.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Yeah, I thought that when Wilson came to talk to House, they said that House was the one who'd canceled the ticket.

That was my impression too. It was all very confusing though. No one knew who was responsible or why.

He seems to be barely leaning on his cane in a lot of scenes, which seems weird, since I would have thought that getting off the Vicodin would mean more pain.

I'm in a constant state of irritation at the writers of House, M.D. for the subtext-rapidly-becoming-text that House's pain is mainly psychosomatic. And that chronic pain is easy and barely needs drugs at all. (Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha. Ahem.)

They've been really inconsistent about what sort of injury his leg has. A few seasons ago, when he detoxed in the coma and was pain-free for a while, he was jogging as if his leg were fine. Which would indicate nerve issues rather than muscular. But then last season, when he took whatever it was that made him pain-free for a while, he was walking without his cane but still limping. Which would make it seem that he leans on the cane to avoid putting weight on the painful leg, but also that there are physical issues affecting how he can move that leg.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, I agree. I've also read that Laurie was beginning to injure himself by being SO thorough as regards limping. Maybe the writers think they are giving him a break this way, but they should not be sloppy about it.

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

The McGee/DiNozzo relationship about backslid to last season. Didn't think it could last. Thought the episode was pretty boring all round. Guess it accomplished what had to be. She's back in the fold. I wonder how long she'll be Probie.

I think that NCIS: LA is off the list. This week was completely predictable and lacking in even the fauxbromance.

Art Crawl!!!

I dropped it after last week. Well, last week I tivoed and then didn't bother to watch and didn't care - so that was that.

I can't believe I missed that. I mean, I saw it, but totally didn't pick up on it.

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

I haven't see Castle yet, but I will be looking for the Firefly reference.

I'm going to give NCIS:LA one more week, mainly because Abby is going to be on next weeks show.
