Wilson knows House keeps a bottle of KY in his desk. He'll show you where if you need it. For a prank.

House dancing is one of my secret joys.

It seems like scene's the would traditionally be Wilson's, such as exiting the building beside House, are going to other people. Which means they're either trying to decrease his role in the show or gearing up for a big surprise.

Meanwhile, Robert Sean Leonard is overjoyed that he can stay home with his dogs.

This episode has confirmed what we all knew.

Wilson tops all.

Wilson > House > Cuddy.

That is all.

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

House is the meat in a kosher sandwich. :)

Question for East Cost peeps

[fearless-jones.livejournal.com]

So, in the interest of all the West Coasters who haven't seen the ep yet, and are concerned solely about H/W content:

Is this episode worth watching, or can I go to a Halloween party and then catch the highlights on YouTube?

Re: Question for East Cost peeps

[epicet.livejournal.com]

One scene is fantastic, but they just advertised the fact that full eps are now shown on FOX.com, so I'd say Halloween party.

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

Well, we've learned that House is wrapped around Wilson's little finger. And we already know from the past three seasons that Wilson's dippy over House and will do and sacrifice anything for him.

13, CIA chick and Cuddy can all go boil their heads.

[magegirl8.livejournal.com]

I think I like Kumar though. He'll make a good, permanent addition to the show I've decided.

[ranrata.livejournal.com]

So it's been confirmed that 1) Wilson owns House and 2) Cuddy has no spine. I love being right!

The Chase/House moment rocked. As did Wilson making fun of House. Wilson making fun of House is always fun.

I am satisfied. I shall watch Nip/Tuck now for Sean/Christian action, now.

[oanja.livejournal.com]

I wish there was a community like this for Sean/Christian...

[lilapaddy.livejournal.com]

Ew to the CIA/House and House/Cuddy and House/Cameron vibes! But yay for KY jelly.

I assume you're talking about the promo that my TV station NEVER AIRS?
(begs for details)

[theunknownsoul.livejournal.com]

One part confused me. . .

Cuddy: "Wait. . Where were you two hours ago?"
Wilson: ".........Where were YOU?"

Can someone explain to the poor slow Tus?

"RELATIONSHIP" I love you Wilson. He looked SO happy through that entire hall walk. he was all "HEHE I DID RESEARCH. GUESS WHAT? I OWN YOU AHA *FROLCIS*"
House: >8|

[galaxygirl76.livejournal.com]

That scene made the episode for me. I love that Wilson is the dominant one and he knows it!

[galaxygirl76.livejournal.com]

I love that he said relationship over friendship. Somehow that makes it more important in my mind.

[gryps-celsus.livejournal.com]

Highlights:

House dance.

Wilson saying "I like him." about PotW.

Wilson just being Wilson.

Little House/Chase moment at the end.



I still think that Wilson's amazingness should have permeated the glass and that the PotW should have been Wilson instead of House or Cuddy. Because that would be the ultimate win.

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

Not the whole Wilson-being-dominant in their "relationship" bit? :)

[hempfandango.livejournal.com]

So I think it's official (to me) that House is now The Gayest Show in primetime. I've yet to come across a couple that is so... blantant as House/Wilson. And a lot of shows are getting braver about their slash subtext, so that's saying something.

[pica-scribit.livejournal.com]

Nah; I think Torchwood owns that title.

[pica-scribit.livejournal.com]

I'm really slow. I worked out right away that the PoTW was Frank Whaley, but it took until now for me to remember that the thing I know him from is Swing Kids, where he starred alongside RSL. I'm slow.

[red-maven.livejournal.com]

I'm slower, I didn't get it till you told me! Next, there should be a DPS reunion!!!!!!!

[dagnirovanaliel.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm new here, mostly cos I couldn't sleep and decided--Hey, wonder if there's an LJ comm for this? And I don't have any House icons... Right. Anyway. Point.

I would have liked more House/Wilson bits, but that scene that proved Wilson is dominent was absolute squee. And the use of "relationship" instead of "friendship"? GENIUS.

<3

[woodencoyote.livejournal.com]

Hi, welcome to the party!

[bithysith.livejournal.com]

Can some wonderful person share a transcript of the "our relationship" conversation between House and Wilson?

[lightsharpedge.livejournal.com]

i vote someone should
i missed that scene :(
apparently signing checks is more important than House

[lilithisbitter.livejournal.com]

That checkered shirt he had on with those slacks, House/Hugh looked like he fell into Mr. Fredrick Little's closet. All he needed was his reading glasses and Steve McQueen perched on his shoulder in a tux.

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

I had the same thought.

[firestorm172001.livejournal.com]

Wilson is the master of his (and House's) domain.

So 6/9 is a masochist, as opposed to everyone else who walked into House's little medical reality show and didn't run screaming for the exit.

Also, did anyone else think that when mirror guy thought that 13 was hot, he was mirroring 13?

[bloodanna.livejournal.com]

Also, did anyone else think that when mirror guy thought that 13 was hot, he was mirroring 13?
Ooh, me, me!! I think she definitely regards herself as hot stuff. House... not so much. I mean unless there is some House/13 subtext that I missed between him telling Wilson "I love you" and 13 flirting with CTB... ;)

[bloodanna.livejournal.com]

I seriously love this season.
KY jelly, "naughty" uses for Vapor rub and Wilson pwns all.

I really, really want to read masochistic smut (or see pictures) about 6/9 now... Obviously he needs to stay on the show.

Also unless 13 is planning on shacking up (on screen) with Cut-throat Bitch they both need to go.

I'm liking Foreman a little better then I use to, but I still don't really care what he does as long as it takes up the least amount of screen-time possible. That's time away from Wilson, man!

Is anyone else weirded out by the promo for next week? It was very... surreal looking. Plus another "Hot, Young Female" for House? COME ON! The writers need to realise: it is over. No HYF is going to make the H/W subtext any weaker, heck if the past episodes are any indication it will make it stronger, I mean they just keep going back to each other and the HYFotW has no freaking hope.

[theunknownsoul.livejournal.com]

she'll be one of those Dr. Whitner type people. See them once then NEVER again. we get some lawls out of House's unsubtleness on how sexually frustrated he is then he'll crawl back to Wilson.

...8| and no one can tell me otherwise

Yeah. House uses vapor rub for naughty things does he? x)

13 is getting annoying. I didn't mind her at first but now shes....i just wanna know who she is, and wtf is so SECRET. I'm expecting something anti-climatic.

Quote from memory:

You would do my laundry for me if I wanted you to.

Just lol. I'm gonna wait up for it to be put on YouTube~

[bithysith.livejournal.com]

This could be a fun game:

"You would do my ________ for me if I wanted you to."

[axmxz.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Wilson = master of the House. XD

[lilithisbitter.livejournal.com]

Master of the House, quick to catch your eye...

Sorry, Les Miserables moment.

[lilithisbitter.livejournal.com]

Did anyone catch the reading glasses dangling from House's hand in that one scene? House needs to wear glasses more often, like whenever he's awake. Wilson should tell House he looks hot in them. House will listen... he is Wilson's bitch.

You know someone needs to draw House with his reading glasses, on the couch with Wilson. Hugh really looks hot in wire rims.

[ranrata.livejournal.com]

Wilson should tell House he looks hot in them. House will listen... he is Wilson's bitch.

"I've been lying to you in increasing amounts since I said you look good unshaved a year ago..."

Seriously, only Wilson can make House feel pretty. XD

[jennydoom86.livejournal.com]

Masochist!6/9 better become permanent!!! I like him lots!

Annoyingly mysterious 'I have a secret' 13 needs to go but she won't...

I like plastic surgery guy...he needs to stay.

The Morman dude, ehhhh...don't really care if he stays or goes either way...

Cutthroat bitch needs to go...

Overall this was my second favorite episode so far! :p

[lilithisbitter.livejournal.com]

They need to bring back old fraud Henry Dobson. As House's male secretary. Then paperwork could be done and House and Wilson could fuck each other senseless play Super Smash Brothers Melee.

[theunknownsoul.livejournal.com]

Oh and, guys? when the POTW said "It's personal!" I just went !!!! xD

It's RANDOM MAN *flies away*

[ranrata.livejournal.com]

LOL. When the patient said that, I thought, "He's gay!" XD

[anamatics.livejournal.com]

:D This episode was made of lol.

[hawk1701.livejournal.com]

if it came down to it, who would any of you pick; 13 or Amber (Cut-Throat Bitch)?

I'm saying Amber. She's stronger than 13, emotionally and probably physically, she's not afraid of telling people her god damn name, she seems older (more mature), she's come up with some good ideas and has fought for the patient (like in 97Secs, it seemed she really wanted to help him, apart from the competition, wanted to find an alternate solution other than cancer) and also, she SAVED HOUSE's LIFE! 13 probably couldn't even do that if it came down to it! 14 hours to get into a car?! It's pathetic!
Thoughts?

[galaxygirl76.livejournal.com]

CTB, wothout a doubt. I actually like her and her attitude, OTOH, I hate Thirteen.

[m-supercomputer.livejournal.com]

So, the "Foreman instantly realizes he totally does want to stay at PPTH after one five-second conversation with mirror-patient" thing = pretty weak. Foreman is so not that self-aware. But I'm still happy about it, because hopefully this means there won't be a whole Foreman-coming-to-terms-with-new-job arc, please God.

Wilson is the boss of House = WIN. Fandom totally called that!

[m-supercomputer.livejournal.com]

Oh, other comment: WHY IS CUDDY ON BIRTH-CONTROL PILLS WTF. It's not like her wanting to have a kid is one of those easily-forgotten, mentioned in one episode things. Christ.

[theunknownsoul.livejournal.com]

I'm posting to many comments but I just had a thought

Anyone else notice when the patient was mimic-ing Wilson, he looked at House and went "It's always about Cuddy!" or something to that extent

just me, or did that sound really jealous?

[lilapaddy.livejournal.com]

SO YES.
