house_wilson_ghc | Interview with David Shore

I read through the comments and I find it interesting/funny that there is so much Lucas hate despite the fact that he has only been in, what, 3 episodes and even then he was only in a couple of scenes. The perception I get from their words is that they feel that Lucas has taken up so much screen time, when in fact that is far from the case.

Anyways...

I'm happy that House and Wilson will still be living together for most, if not the rest of the season. But I think they should live together forever!! : )
If for whatever reason they make House move out, I hope they have separation anxiety and have to move back in together : p

Reading comments often leaves me convinced that there's an alternate reality version of House leaking into our universe. I can't possibly be watching the same show some of these fans are talking about.

You mean like a version where House is not gay for Wilson but in fact attracted to Cuddy? Sorry to break it to you but that's actually the real version. You're in the alternate reality.

Preach it, sister!

Actually, I love the show as it is. House is extremely attracted to Cuddy and vice versa. His relationship with Wilson is deep and touching just as it's portrayed, IMHO. Sex is not the only glue that holds people together.

Right now, in the progress of the story, Cuddy has chosen to stop being House's mommy-figure and start taking better care of herself and her child. Lucas is part of that attempt.

Note that I say "attempt". *g*

"two tigers away from an act in Vegas" This refers to Siegfreid & Roy who are gay for each other.

House wants to touch Cuddy's boobs just like he wanted to touch Nora's. Wilson wanted to date Nora - see the difference? One was about wanting the body the other was about wanting the person. So in your alternate reality House is attracted to Cuddy, the person. In the real reality, House is attracted to her boobs. In other words he wants to jump (fuck) her repeatedly. In the real reality, House has been moving in on Wilson cause he wants Wilson, the person and he also wants to touch his body. Now they're living together, working in the same place, and House still can't get enough of his baby Wilson. It is beyond clear House loves and is in love with Wilson. The writers have basically gone from subtext to text.

There are, in fact, a number of us who prefer the actual on-screen relationship. Do we enjoy these little nods? Yeah! They're great; they're fun. We enjoy ourselves with it.
You say attracted, and I say 'yeah'. Of course he is; she's a gorgeous, confident woman. Does that mean it's the basis for a long-lasting relationship? No, they'd eat each other alive.
The House and Wilson relationship has been proven time and again to be long-lasting. It works for them. We like to think that it's a romantic relationship.
Just, let us have our fun, K? It's not hurting you. And I'm fairly confident that Jomadge was referring more to the 'Lucas is evil and annoying and taking over the show rawr' than to the Huddy storyline or the Luddy storyline or what have you.

It's because they are Huddy shippers.

I agree, it's because they're House/Cuddy shippers. They're completely delusional, House is absolutely not attracted to Cuddy. I don't know where they got THAT assumption from. House wants Wilson. And I mean, it's not like House created this ideal personal reality with Cuddy in his mind in the season 5 finale episodes or anything.

Oh, it's not Opposite Day?

^ Ding ding ding!

LOL I don't think many people are saying that House isn't attracted to Cuddy (recognising it doesn't mean to say we have to like it/ enjoy watching it/ believe that is the route the show should go). So before starting wank that you have to hide behind 'Anonymous' to start, get your facts right especially when nothing in these comments have prompted it :)

And guess what? People can like more than one person at the same time, including those that have different genitalia. Shock horror I know. Whether or not you view it as a physical attraction, you can't deny that there is a deep connection between House and Wilson (friendship or more - however you choose to perceive it). People have different tastes and read in between the lines in different ways. It is what is between the lines that is most important after all. So if you ship House/Cuddy why not go to their community and leave us to be happy? :)

This comment has nothing to do with what it's replying to. Troll much?

Um. Given that the comment was about the perception of Lucas's screentime, I thought the implication was that House/Cuddy shippers were overestimating it because they (in general) dislike him and his relationship with Cuddy. That's not true of all House/Cuddy shippers, but it is fairly common.

I'm not denying that some people on the comm say shit about Cuddy that's totally uncalled for, because they do. But replying to a comment in which that's *not* the case with anonymous hyper-defensiveness about House and Cuddy's relationship does not exactly prove your point that House/Cuddy shippers don't need to offend other shippers to feel better about their own pairing.

House's ideal personal reality is a one night stand?

He really couldn't aim any lower...

It's easy to be loud when you're anonymous huh? Very brave of your part

I actually agree, House seems to love Cuddy (even though it makes absolutely no sense to me) and completely straight so far, and Cuddy seems to love him back. It will never work out though, obviously.

Hilson shippers can sometimes be whiners, but I've seen both sides and Huddy fans are way way WAAAYYY worse whiners, so 4theloveofhouse has a point.

Thank you!! I just said the same thing above.

I don't like him based on what we saw from him the first time, when House was paying him to be his friend. I think he's creepy and weird and not good enough for Cuddy. Of course, not many men would be worthy of Cuddy in my opinion!

See, I actually really like you, and not necessarily because you agree with most House/Cuddy shippers on the Lucas issue, or because you think not many men would be worthy of Cuddy... Well, honestly, I mean, I do like you for those reasons, but I like you even better because you're respectful towards Cuddy as a character, you obviously think she's a nice character to watch and one who deserves someone great, combined with being a House/Wilson shippers or fanatic. Thank you, there should be more people like you in fandom.

Hmmm... Interesting. I have a male friend - the very one who convinced me to start watching House actually (I know... The shame! I only started watching by the time season 5 had already begun) - whom is not a "shipper" at all of any pairing. He, however, also dislikes Lucas intensely. I actually can't remember the exact reason/words he used to describe why he disliked Lucas, but I seem to recall something about finding Lucas annoying, and something about him not shutting up. This is just his personal opinion, however, so I don't mean offence but am trying to provide a fuller explanation rather than simply, "He hates Lucas".

I actually originally liked Lucas. I previously thought he had some good comic value (and I am aware that "humour" differs from person to person, as well as what one may actually find funny), and thus didn't mind him, even liked him to some extent, but I eventually found him marginally creepy. His "virginity" comment/question to Cuddy pushed the line in my personal opinion, and is when alarm bells starting going off in my head. You could argue the same about House, but my personal thought/understanding (which may not be correct) is that he always does it to deliberately push social boundaries, be blunt, sarcastic, and/or aggravating (sometimes all at once). I dunno... Lucas just seemed "off".

But I'm going waaay off-topic now, my apologies. I am quite interested in the Cuddy-centred episode because I'd like to see how running a hospital is from her point of view (I can only imagine the migraines she must get), the dynamics of everyone else (House and Wilson for example), and hopefully some kickass!take-no-shit-from-anyone!Cuddy <3 as well, reason being that my personal (and as such is not an authority on any other opinion or anyone else) view is that I haven't seen her being that assertive since around about the middle of season 3 (with the exception of when he told House he was fired after he declared to an entire lobby full of people that he'd (or so he'd thought at the time) slept with her). Looking forward to th episode and hopefully a return to some ass-kicking Cuddy! :)

This is something I've been wondering about. It was firmly established in season 4 episode 'Mirror, Mirror' that House was the one with the power in the House-Cuddy relationship. What about now?

Ooh, good question! Love it.

Mirror Mirror? *goes to check* "Fifth episode of the fourth season". In my personal opinion then, this was already after the mid-point in season three when she started showing more and more of a soft spot for House even in administrator mode. And again, in my personal opinion, she still hasn't reverted back to pre-season three Cuddy yet, so my opinion is that House is still the one with the power. I think.

I could very well be wrong though, because she finally did draw the line at the whole "declaring to the lobby" incident and fired him. Then again, once she realised something was seriously wrong with him, I think she probably took it back even if she didn't say it (cupping his face and everything).

I'm being very general here though, as I don't have the capacity for uber-accuracy a the moment, and obviously personal opinions are subject to personal bias.

You should make your friend watch Pathology (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0964539/). You won't see Lucas the same way again.

Whoa...0_0

Did NOT mean to start anything. I thought I was just making an observation.

Now, as for my opinion of Lucas...I don't dislike him, but I don't necessarily like him either. He doesn't really add anything to the show for me.

Since love was brought up, I will put forth that I do not see what House and Cuddy have as love. It is clear that they care for one another (beyond the physical), but I personally don't see it as love (as it is right now). My issue with the show trying to put them together is that it makes both characters out of character for me. They've been showing a lot of pre-season 5 and 6 episodes recently and I am surprised how different Cuddy used to be and it's not that she changed in a the-character-has-developed/grown kind of way. I don't know...

With a show such as House, with characters so complex and complicated, the range of interpretation is quite broad, in my opinion. That being said, I kind of cringe whenever I see the word "delusional" attributed to one another's opinions on the material that is presented to us because it is such a strong word that causes unnecessary discord.

Anyways, that's just a few of my thoughts. Sorry that my post started something negative in the comm.
