HOUSE: 4.10 - It's a Wonderful Lie

So I had American Idol on before House, just as background noise, as I often do. I happened to hear a commercial for House: "See why critics say this may be the best season of House yet." lololololololololol [livejournal.com profile] froda_baggins and I each had a theory. Mine is that the critics are being rather highly paid to voice this opinion. Hers is that one critic really wanted to be quoted and got a friend to agree with him so 'critic' would become plural.

We're not hatin' on S4. Promise. Both of us are actually enjoying it. But ... best yet? lulz.





4.10 It's a Wonderful Lie


- I've got various muscles that do the twitchy thing the girl's were doing. Doesn't it look so freaky? It's even weirder when you're looking at it in person.
- haha Shit, I don't want a Kutner muse but there might be one forming.
- Truth as child abuse. Well... hahaha. Not quite! But how inappropriate is it for an 11-year-old to know her mom's sexual preferences? Srsly. I mean, unless she walked in one time and then asked ten bajillion questions instead of being like "LALALA DO NOT WANT TO KNOW" but, uh ... that wasn't the impression I got.
- "You are so full of ... love ... or something." hahaha Yeah. Like 'shit.' That House-and-Wilson conversation was great. Can't wait for the script for this one to go up.
- I don't like Foreman and I don't care for Taub, either, but put them together? WIN.
- Drawing names for Secret Santa -- Did everyone draw "House"? (Later: I WIN. I CALLED IT. I can't believe none of them saw it coming a thousand miles away. Cameron would have.)
- I have to say, I really hate House's take on honesty. It's one of the main things that keeps me from writing him. He just... I don't know. I can't make sense of it and keep it organized in my head. He really makes me want to hit him in the face sometimes.
- My dirty mind fails. At the mention of "Alpine butterfly" I thought "mountain climbing knot" first and didn't think of bondage at all until Taub mentioned it.
- "Woooooow, that is a creepy smile." Yes, it is! XD
- "Where are you going?" "Nowhere, I just know it hurts you." :: snicker :: I love it when Wilson gets to the point where he's an asshole back to House. House deserves it way more often than he gets it.
- THE HAT! :) "It's a moose. On a Jew." Really can't wait for this script to go up.
- "Milk?! Ew!" I agree, kid. That was one of the grossest things I've ever seen House do. hahaha
- I love Hugh Laurie's face. I say so a lot. I feel the need to say it again now, though. ♥

Edited to add post-episode conversation snippet:

[livejournal.com profile] caretta: I love House so fucking much.
[livejournal.com profile] thewlisian_afer: hee
[livejournal.com profile] caretta: It's the only show I've seen where you can find mentions of bestiality, bondage, child abuse, Satanism, Druidism, and leg-boobs all in one.
[livejournal.com profile] thewlisian_afer: XDDDDD
[livejournal.com profile] caretta: Also? The only way you can say "tits-on-legs" without a woman getting offended!
[livejournal.com profile] thewlisian_afer: ahahaha, I'm adding this conversation to my commentary post...

Didja catch the part where House told Wilson he loves him? Indirectly, of course.

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
ahahaha Er. Well. Y'see, I've trained myself to rationalize every single tiny thing House says or does as an indirect admission of love or at least very strong like, otherwise my Wilson muse hates himself even more than he usually does. So, um ... which part are you talking about? XD

[identity profile] theninth.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
House says something about "We lie to the people we love (maybe "care about, but I think he said "love"). We tell them (something about the way they babble) and we tell them 'no, you're not losing your boyish good looks."

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
OH! Actually, I missed most of that line. [livejournal.com profile] froda_baggins said in IMs, "lmfao ur gettin ugleee, Wilson" and I had no idea wtf she was talking about because I was busy turning off email notification on the discussion posts at [livejournal.com profile] house_wilson and then when I was finished I was paying too much attention to the show again and I forgot to ask her to explain. (Holy run-on sentence, Batman!) BUT NOW YOU HAVE, SO I UNDERSTAND. XD

If you think the milk thing was gross, imagine watching it with a milk phobia. I would have leapt into the TV and smacked him.

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
♥ My first thought was "ROBIN WOULD'VE PUKED."

[identity profile] countouttheday.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. I did not, but I was thoroughly disgusted. Makes me like House less, too.

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thoroughly disgusted, too, and I have no problem with dairy. haha. I love milk. Just ... not, um ... breast milk in a syringe that's been extracted from a leg...? omfgwtfbbqlolEW.

[identity profile] caretta.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Can we add breast milk past infancy to the list of 'fluids not to be wanting'?

OMG I LOVED THE HAT! THAT HAT IS THE PINNACLE OF AWESOMENESS! I swear there will be sex scenes with that hat in it, especially with what Wilson did to the ear. lololol.

I'm developing a Kutner muse as well, and it's wanting me to write Cole/Kutner so badly. Christmas make-up scene and all.

Ha, Foreman/Taub? Win!

I called the House's name thing as well. XD Have to love how excited Kutner was to have him, and then the rest of them groaning.

The prostitute is acting as the Virgin Mary... riding a donkey. I think I saw this porno once.

I love stupid hats. So much. I need an updated hat icon with reindeer!Wilson, Mal in his flowery wreath thing (see icon) and Grissom from CSI with that ugly straw thing. Hats. Haaaaaaaaaaats!

I need to watch all the House/Wilson scenes again. At times I was rendered deaf by the pretty and the sarcasm.

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed, there was some great House-and-Wilson in this one. It was just what I needed. ^_^

[identity profile] coervus.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
How did Wilson do the ear twitch with the hat? I didn't have my glasses on so all I saw was the ear moving... man, the expression on his face as he did it was hilarious, though.

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
There was a little string attached that he pulled. Stupidest. Hat. Ever. I want one so bad.

[identity profile] coervus.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Fweeeee!

*skipping your recap because I haven't watched it yet*

But you know I have been wondering why these critics think S4 is the best season yet. I have to disagree. I was just reading today in the Chicago Sun-Times...he was comparing it to how it seems shows get better during S4 (ie X-Files and whatever other show he included)

um that's all I got...lol

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I do think the show is improving this season. But only in comparison to where it went last season. Calling it better than S1 or S2 makes me LOL.

[identity profile] winter-ruins.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, I called the House Secret Santa thing a mile away. I think Foreman did too, he just didn't mention it (he didn't even look at the name he drew). XD;;

[identity profile] thewlisian-afer.livejournal.com 2008-01-30 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Good point. I think I was thinking that if Foreman had known what was going on, he would've told the new kids because that would be assy and ruin House's little plan. But now that you mention it, it's even more assy to let them spend their money on House instead of for a legit Secret Santa exchange, so ... yeah. That fits my idea of Foreman. XD

I don't even have a good reason like "I'm a climber!" I just know a lot of random shit that I have no good reason to know. XD

This clinic side plot had me rotfloling. XD I was clearly not paying attention when House walked into the church at the end of the episode because I was thinking, "what the hell is he doing there?" Oh.... ohhhh... Oh my, another one of those fangirls (and boys) are going to die looks.... :D

Ewwww, that syringe thing was DISGUSTING.... I don't care if it was "milk" I don't want someone to squirt some sort of junk from someone else's tumour into my mouth.

Fun House/Wilson conversations make me HAPPEH. Actually I watched Games the other day and when they fight it makes me happeh too. So bascially I just love House/Wilson, as long as Wilson doesn't step into "this is what you're doing to yourself" mantra that he got into the last season particularly.
