Not Friends

[deelaundry]

From the S5 post-ep I'm not going to write:

"You said we weren't friends."

"You said you were going to trample my feelings, ignore what I want, use my compassion against me, and risk a patient's life in order to get what you want. Does that sound like friendship to you?"

"You asked me to risk my life, and even worse my mind, on the slim chance it would save your girlfriend of a couple of months. Does that sound like friendship to you?"

"'Girlfriend of a couple of months' implies a lot less love than I actually had for her... but no, it doesn't sound like friendship. Which is why I said it as 'we,' instead of saying you weren't a friend to me."

The show ran right past the "why Amber?" question at the end of S5, in favor of showing us House fantasizing about Cuddy. So I don't expect too much about that. I could be wrong, though.

Well, I happen to be with you there. I don't expect them to deal with House's actual issues on the show, at all. I expect they'll imply that he's somehow been patched back together mentally and then things will go on as they always have.

I won't be satisfied with that, but it's what I think will happen, because I know this show.

I have some hope there's going to be at least a little discussion about 'why Amber' next season - of course, I was hopeful that 'Lucky 13' wouldn't be the end of the reconciliation arc, so who knows. *g* Of course, they did bring it up again vaguely in 'Social Contract' and 'Saviors,' but only after treating things as back to normal for over half a season.

Though, my big wish for season 6 is no shipping House, with anyone. Maintaining or building friendships with Wilson, Cuddy, Cameron, Chase, Foreman, even Taub and Thirteen = awesome. House ships in canon = ugh.

no shipping House

SECONDED MOST STRONGLY.

I'm actually in the same camp as diysheep. I ship House/Lampy. Heh.
