Okay, so, the last three episodes of House have made me very nervous. ...

...and not because I'm not behind House/Cuddy as a concept; it's even cute the way it's playing out. And yet. People. At the end of the most recent ep, Wilson said, "I think you're gonna be okay, House."

*pause*

"I think you're gonna be okay, House."

If House is okay, I am no longer interested. But on the other hand, last time I hated the writers was in S3 when I was afraid Tritter was going to lead us into an enlightened period of rehab and House quitting Vicodin, and our boy House managed to come out of it as much a drug-addled bastard as when the arc started, so. There's this great interview Hugh Laurie did for a Spanish-language website where he said that once House changes, the show is over.

So if you're out there, Doris Egan, I still trust you. But this is a slippery slope, lady. House better hurry up and, like, sexually assault someone or hijack a tanker truck.

Fingers are x'ed for tonight.



I also remembered how much I like The Unit. Somehow I'd missed this entire season, so I mainlined like six episodes yesterday and, just. Oh. It is still so strangely smart and satisfying for a vaguely republican show which isn't funny. And you folks out there reading EHCA know how little tolerance I have for things that aren't funny. And here's The Unit, almost as un-funny as BSG, and yet! Smart, Mamet-y, twisty, fun Top Secret storylines! Like, what is UP with Molly and her new job? (I am only on ep 6) She knowssss something. I can smell it. And Bridget! She also knows something! And Kim, shut up about your baby and go have an affair with that guy you're nannying for!

This post has been brought to you by the letter T and the word TUESDAY.

"I think you're gonna be okay, House."

I'm still not even sure what that was supposed to mean. House will survive without getting to bury his face in Cuddy's cleavage? I think the only response to that is a resounding Duh.

See, to me that line is not at all about House, and totally about Wilson's capacity for self-deception, and his need to believe that there is some imaginable universe in which it is conceivable that House could be okay. Or to act as if he believes that, to sell House on the idea that he believes that. Or -- something. Wilson's layers of fuckedupedness, behind that wholesome boyish-charm facade, never cease to fascinate and appall me; House is a walk in the park next to it.

Yeah, you know. I'm pretty easy to please, because that was enough for me. *g*

Well, he was his own brand of fucked up tonight, and kind of a douchebag. He gave the gun back? He gave the gun back. SERIOUSLY. Either OOC or just a different angle of his fascination with the diagnosis I had not considered.

Also, House & Cuddy are going to crash and burn SPECTACULARLY, so I'm not worried he'll turn in to a kitten-loving cushion of smush and happiness.
