Episode reaction

[deelaundry]

A ha! Realizations about my reaction to tonight's episode :

- How the hell was that a "devious" way to win back Wilson? House didn't do anything to win back Wilson. And there was no planning.

- Why is Lucas going to be "hot on Wilson's trail" next episode, if Wilson made the decision to come back this episode?

- The lie about Amber buying Wilson that keychain was entirely stupid because the sympathy card does not work with House. Wilson knows this. Reflexive guilt-trip lying?

- Why was House arrested? He didn't do anything wrong.

- The assumption Wilson made that House bailed him out because House "cared" is not necessarily true. It's entirely possible House just found a guy who carried around an envelope but wouldn't open it interestingly repressed. It could've been pure boredom that led House to bail him out. Why would Wilson think it better if House cared about a total stranger than if House found a total stranger interesting? It's everything after that that counts.

- And "everything after that" was the reason Wilson gave for leaving, but he said he's coming back because House is fun. So... nothing's changed? House can continue to act the way he's always acted, and it's OK by Wilson? ETA: And Wilson's going to keep on lying and trying to manipulate House instead of being straightforward about his own needs, and that's OK too?

- No flashbacks! Curse you, Washington Post, for saying there would be.

- We ain't never getting a hug. Wilson's pat on House's shoulder, and House's looming over Wilson's are going to be as close as we get. D:<

- Wilson was gorgeous this ep. He looked like a wee puppy when he was trying to talk the cop into letting him go.

I think I need to watch it again.

PS. Hee, hee. Bizarre little thing I predicted in a fanfic: Wilson's trunk o' preparedness!

I predicted something went down between House and his father when he was twelve, and it was even pretty closely worded to what happened in the show. So I'll be riding on this for a week or two.

I swear I thought they were going to kiss for a minute tonight. SO CLOSE, BOYS, SO CLOSE

Heck, I'm just pleased that my first fic had them meeting within a year of when canon has them meeting. (I had them meeting when Wilson was in his first year of residency.)

I placed Mom and Dad in the wrong state for retirement, but at least I got John's rank right.

It took me a second to realize that Wilson was touching House without House shrugging him away. And then all I could think about was what the congregation full of Marines were thinking. I mean, don't ask, don't tell and all...

This was an amazing House/Wilson night. It was quite an interesting House/Cuddy night, too: not every ship gets to say that they have matching ass injections. :D

A+++++

I PREDICTED CHE (http://community.livejournal.com/pinko_house/345.html) LOLOLOL SO EAT THAT, TEIRESIAS

I STILL WANT A HUG

OR NOT

You = More Awesome Than Me! (That's a gorgeous icon, by the way)

I added some thoughts and questions about the ep to this post, if you're interested.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I had a thought this morning that House would introduce Wilson to his father's military peers as "my special friend," which would be technically true but raise all kinds of eyebrows. Hee.

Wilson was very cute this episode, and House had some good smiles. But I wanted a hug, dang it!

PS. Added more thoughts on the ep above.

[genagirl.livejournal.com]

I can't think straight at the moment (me and Wilson, I guess). I'm just so happy they're back together - mostly.

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

I really would have loved a hug for them. That would have been really damn awesome. *sigh*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE OF THE AWESOME

"MADE OF IT" AS THE YOUNG KIDS SAY

FOR A TINY SECOND I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO GIVE YOU A HUG

I SHAMEFACEDLY WITHDRAW MY OUTSTRETCHED ARMS

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

(Thank you! I saw it, realized it expressed 'jubiliation' precisely in 100x100 pixels, and knew I needed it. Feel free to use it of you like.)

What I said:

Even when he’d been twelve, trying to catch vowel sounds that weren’t made anywhere else in the world, he’d already known how not to overlook his own flaws. Thank his father for that – brutal honesty was just as bad as outright lying to young, sensitive children.

His father had never laid a hand on him. He’d just been honest. His mother’s support could only go so far against that.

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

That WOULD have been awesome. But still - they came as a couple and Wilson went up to whisper in House's ear and pat him on the shoulder at his Dad's coffin (LOL - "put it back") - wonder how that looked to everyone. >:D

They were ADORABLE. Wilson's little smile at the end made me just melt.

I still want a kiss!!!

They were such a married couple on the roadtrip.

Isn't "right out of medical school" first year of residency? So you predicted perfectly. (Is it common to send first-year residents to multi-specialty conferences (because I doubt House was at an oncology conference) with 3000 people?)

Which Lexington do you think they're in?

Lexington, Kentucky, the largest 'Lexington'
Lexington, Massachusetts, the oldest 'Lexington'
Lexington, Alabama
Lexington, Georgia
Lexington, Illinois
Lexington, Indiana
Lexington, Michigan
Lexington, Minnesota
Lexington, Mississippi
Lexington, Missouri
Lexington, Nebraska
Lexington, New York
Lexington, North Carolina
Lexington, Ohio
Lexington, Oklahoma
Lexington, Oregon
Lexington, South Carolina
Lexington, Tennessee
Lexington, Texas
Lexington, Virginia

The Marines probably didn't think anything of it. Wilson's touch was a very "consoling a friend" touch (and I say that as someone who loves the HoYay, as you know)

I'm betting the reason House didn't shrug him away is that Wilson's bulk provided better cover for what House was doing. :D

Matching ass injections is a very unique thing for a 'ship. Heh.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I want a kiss too.

And they were very married couple on the roadtrip. Tough times and good times.

I just wish they'd talked about the issues Wilson cited when he walked away. Now it's just: "You're right, House; you're fun. So I'm back." So, Wilson's comments weren't justified? They were just a cover or a lie, and House doesn't need to change anything?

And Wilson's going to keep on lying and trying to manipulate House instead of being straightforward about his own needs, and that's OK too?

Boy, I'm Debbie Downer. Sorry.

I DO WANT A KISS. OH YES.

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

You're not a Debbie Downer! You're a realist. I'm still riding on candy-colored unicorn rainbow clouds after the episode. JOY.

I felt like the funeral was a watershed moment, and somehow they both realized that they really care about each other but no longer need to trick each other to get the other one to show it. Which doesn't mean they won't - it just felt like the air was cleared, and they accept that they like some of each other's shortcomings.

IDK, I am too happy to analyze deeply.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad they're back together -- just wish the show had addressed the issue Wilson gave for why he left. It's kind of a "nothing's changed" reunion, which is an opportunity lost, in my opinion.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

They could've put one in at the "My dad died." "My sympathies." exchange, but they didn't. D:

[bammel.livejournal.com]

NO U

WAHT! PUT THOSE BACK

[warmdarkwoman.livejournal.com]

Ha! John House was a Kentucky colonel! Who wants chicken?

[calamitysxchild.livejournal.com]

[bernie-laraemie.livejournal.com]

LOL THERE WAS BOY KISSING HA HA HA

Did you see the boy kissing, Dee?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

The only boy kissing I saw was House kissing his dead dad. Eww.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I do need to watch Supernatural, don't I?

:D

[bernie-laraemie.livejournal.com]

That counts!

Look at it this way:

Hugh Laurie kissed a man!
