HOUSE: 4.10 - It's a Wonderful Lie

[thewlisian_afer]

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 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:

caretta: I love House so fucking much.
thewlisian_afer: hee
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.
thewlisian_afer: XDDDDD
caretta: Also? The only way you can say "tits-on-legs" without a woman getting offended!
thewlisian_afer: ahahaha, I'm adding this conversation to my commentary post...

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

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."

OH! Actually, I missed most of that line. 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 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
