Did I already say that I loved this episode? We still haven't seen their makeup episode. When Wilson says still not boring. Damn I can't wait. Wilson hides a lot and if it weren't for House pushing and prodding I think Wilson would be even more depressed and possibly suicidal. damn!! House is totally and completely in love with Wilson and Wilson is just scared shitless to let guard down. Now I understand what draws them to each other. St. Doris is amazing.

Naked handshake with shoulder bump imo.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Well...

If we're going to get them naked, then should we really have to settle for a handshake?

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

"Wilson hides a lot"

yes. this.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was doing it on purpose, in order to keep House busy.

Sort of like an Easter Egg hunt.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I knew he was going to smash something.

I love that House can make his employees play racquetball in the morgue.

I love the Bromance, and after having two papers due earlier, it was nice to have House and Wilson to look forward to.

Whoop Whoop! :D

Do we still not know who is playing him?

I'm rooting for Noah Wyle, even though I have no reason to believe that would happen.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

YES.

[lavosspawn.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone out there has a Naked Handshake+Shoulder Bump fetish.

Namely me.

That sounds like something Turk and JD would do -from Scrubs.

And not consider it gay at all.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I often find his attempts to look emotional more like the expression one might make while constipated.

But I think he did it well tonight. It was just enough.

And being a theater guy, RSL is very physical, because when you're on stage, you have to be.

[lavosspawn.livejournal.com]

Well, they'd be right. It's only gay if the balls touch. Fact.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

WAT.

Where does this rule come from?

Not that I'm disputing. I'm just trying to educate myself.

I really enjoyed this episode a lot. I recently just got into this fandom only half a year ago and have been a bit disappointed in this season. But this episode was simply wonderful. I hope for more episodes like this, damn my love for Hilson continues to grow.

What I love the most, not so much Huddy, or Foreteen. Which is great, I have nothing really against those pairings but, you know House and Wilson totally own the show.
And Taub and Kutner, my love for them also grows. ^_^

I can’t wait to post fan fiction in this community. Maybe even about that episode…I agree something was missing like the hawt man smex. XD

A wise man said it to me many moons ago, I believe his name was Anonymous.

'I think Wilson would be even more depressed and possibly suicidal'

I agree.

Is it wrong that I think we should get a sick!Wilson episode? I mean, House is always getting tormented, it's time for some Wilson hospital time. And cause I love how House worries about our sweet little oncologist.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Strange. I thought anonymous was a woman.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

House is invincible. It's been established. When I see a promo and it shows him going into cardiac arrest, I don't even blink. I know it will be sorted out before the end of the episode.

Wilson being sick would be more interesting. He'd be a big baby about it for one thing. I'd like to see House put in a position to take care of Wilson, instead of the other way around.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Whenever I see those characters from Yu-gi-oh, I wonder -is their hair sharp? Would it pop a balloon?

[lavosspawn.livejournal.com]

Man, woman, hermaphrodite.... same thing, rite?

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Like a human, Swiss Army knife.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

"Now I just want to tie Taub up and make him squeal."

*tries not to think of Deliverance*

[majiex.livejournal.com]

Usually when House gets hurt I roll my eyes because he does it on purpose most of the time. Wilson on the other hand would be very interesting.

I’ve always wondered if House could handle a sick or injured Wilson. It would make an excellent two-part season finale. Wilson becomes ill and then the next episode, House must find a way to save his friends *coughsecretsmexylovers* life. And Cuddy must not get involved. Although sadly, she will. -__-

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of the part in Wilson's Heart where House wakes up and Cuddy was like WILSON WASN'T AVAILABLE SO HERE I AM!!! And House was like -where's Wilson?

Yeah, the benefits of a sick!Wilson plotline would be destroyed by too much Cuddy. Just my opinion, of course. But that baby of hers isn't nearly as time consuming as she originally thought.

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

I'm blind apparently.

Is that James Spader?
