Spoiler & speculation for House next week

[deelaundry]

Speculation for ep 5-10 and after: I think Wilson is going to undergo Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) to save the POTW. "The donor's liver will regenerate approaching 100% function within 4–6 weeks and will almost reach full volumetric size with recapitulation of the normal structure soon thereafter," says Wikipedia, so the House team will use the six-week hiatus to be able to totally skip the "Wilson recovering" stage and the first ep in January will have him back to normal (or almost normal).

And for those concerned that RSL might use this to seek a permanent path back to full-time Broadway: "Death after LDLT has been reported at 0% (Japan), 0.3% (USA) and <1% (Europe), with risks likely to improve further as surgeons gain more experience in this procedure."

Your thoughts?

In unrelated news, who's going to buy Wilson the Mangroomer for Xmas?

the show very blatantly butches up the het cred because they can't deal with the thought of men being intimate with each other. Not necessarily in a sexual way, but in an emotional way.

And yet this is the same show that gives us a main character who, when there's a whole sofa to be had, sits close enough to touch his BFF. And steals his food all the time, and deletes messages from landlords to keep him as a roomie, and ... I know what you mean, but it is weird, isn't it, how schizoid they are about it? They tend to keep to the make-a-joke-of-it side of things instead of allowing us to see what's beneath the joking.

Except when they do; that fight in Birthmarks was, I thought, intensely intimate.
