deelaundryThree things in no particular order:
1. OMG, such wonderful lighting. (Stephbass, where are you?) Everyone's eyes looked amazing -- Chase, Cameron, Thirteen, House (naturally), Foreman, Wilson. And Wilson needs to be lit like that in every episode because GORGEOUS.
2. In the previous few months, producers and Jesse Spencer had mentioned that Chase would be involved in a "euthanasia" arc. Spoiler fakeout! Or should I say, "spoiler lie." Euthanasia is "the act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition"; faking test results and deliberately administering incorrect treatment is more along the lines of murder ("The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice"). Interesting.
3. Someone questioned why Jerk Neighbor would complain only after House moved in. Leaving aside the possibility that he was complaining all along and Wilson never mentioned it, my guess is time of day. JN could handle Wilson (and Amber) having been around in the evening, but House was in the apartment during the day and for a while there was cooking pretty much constantly. JN was being a jerk by demanding lower noise of course, but I'm betting it was the time of day that sent him over the edge.
(Bonus selfish, egotistical #4: In the "kidnapping" scene, I kept thinking of "Reelfoot Rift: Tim." And then thinking about what Chase had done, I thought about... "Reelfoot Rift: Tim." Different motivations, different outcomes, but the emotions, intensity, and bias for action are so similar. : )

Date: 2009-10-06 06:14 pm (UTC)I saw Wilson terrified that Jerk Neighbor was going to prosecute House for breaking & entering, burglary, defamation, and whatever else he could come up with -- and send him, not back to his own apartment, but to jail.
I saw Wilson damn near in tears over it, but feeling he had no other choice. I guess my mileage just varies here. :-/
