Stuffs.

After waiting for what seemed like several decades, I finally got round to watching the episode. Yay!

I actually have shit to say for this one.

- Lucas, Lucas, Lucas. You started out so promising, so full of life and weird vibes, but then you just went and pissed all over it. Now you're just a psycho dickweed who thought it would be amusing to trip a man with a disability and fuck with a handrail. Not big and not clever. Also, who gets that riled up over a condo? Um.. go and buy a different one, it's not like your girlfriend has much money trouble. She's the Dean of Medicine after all. Although, I'm in two minds over the sprinkler system prank. On one hand, it was a shit thing to do and cost thousands of dollars worth of damage. But on the other hand, it did give us a chance to see HL and RSL stand around with wet t-shirts.......I call it even I guess.

- I need more Taub. I cannot live on this restricted diet of Taubness. Sack 13 and her unaturally vulcan eyebrows, sack Foreman and his lack of emotion, and give me more Chase and Taub please. I adore Taub and his straight faced sarcasm, and he did not disappoint last night, cracking out some brilliant lines and looking hilariously short next to the POTW.

- At first I was wary of House's motives for hiring Foreman's brother. I thought 'oh here we go, more messing' but the more the plot progressed, the more I felt that House did that to push Foreman and his brother together, and then Wilson came in the office, said his little piece with his raised eyebrow and pointed finger, and then I saw how nice it actually was. So thumbs up for Nice!House. Also found his impression of Hercule Poirot especially amusing, considering my dad was watching Poirot downstairs while I was watching this upstairs.

- Wilson's running away from that opossum was priceless. I need a gif, icon, something... of that. As was his shoddy attempt to cover the flatscreen with a wet towel. Also semi-nekkid!House was  a delight.

-Also enjoyed the fact Cuddy was far out on the periphery in this episode. This is probably in preparation for the assualt from her boobies next week. I really hope next week's episode isn't naff. I'll still watch it though.


(P.S I have a job interview tomorrow!!! Possibly be in work by the end of the month. JOY!!)

Oh, great news about the job!!! YAY! I'm so happy for you!! What sort of job is it?

And they were playing 'let's hurt the cripple' again? That never gets old, apparently. House is way too nice. I swear, if someone played tricks like that to me, I'd bash their heads in with my cane.

Good points!

I have a serious weakness for people who don't take themselves seriously, so that leaves quiet, boring Foreman and the high Vulcan priestess off my list. Yay, Taub! He had some great lines. Now we need more Chase.

Enjoyed Marcus. Hope Orlando Jones returns. Wow! Those shoulders!

And good luck with the job interview!

What Lucas did was pretty dickish, but it didn't annoy me since I know he was doing it for Cuddy, and Wilson taking her condo was pretty dickish too after all and it also didn't annoy me cause he was doing it for House. So Wilson stood up for House because he got hurt and Lucas stood up for Cuddy because she got screwed over. I enjoyed both dickish moves :P

Srsly, we need more TAUB. And CHASE too. and moar Wilson as well.

Wilson running like a girl from the opossum and trying to save the flatscreen, the guy is just epic XD


Good luck on your interview hun <333

Word.

In addition I need to say that I would have loved Wilson to stand up for House and bitchslap Lucas as soon as he realised that it was him who hurt House. When Wilson realises that House could have gotten seriously injured or died in that bathtub I think I wanna see him freak and and and... I dunno. I want him to consider it, at least. I like it when Wilson considers things.

And good luck for the interview. :D

This episode left me very uneasy, not just because of the whole "gee, let's beat up House for laughs again this week!" vibe that it had, but because all jokes aside, what Lucas did went far beyond pranking.

House could very easily have been killed if he'd hit his head when that rail let go. The cut and bruise on his cheek were enough to show that if he'd turned a bit and landed on his temple, that would have been it. And the sprinkler system soaking everything represents a lot of potential loss. Imagine all you own being soaked, in winter. Imagine what happens if you don't get the carpet,the furniture etc., dried out or replaced. Mildew and potential allergens are the least of it. What if House's piano had been there, or any of his guitars? Ruined, destroyed, not salvagable -- he deserves this, in Lucas' mind, just because he happens to be living with Wilson?

My fear about this episode is that it's the beginning of some kind of arc in which Lucas is turned into such a twisted psycho that Cuddy finally "sees the light" and turns back to House, thereby appearing to make Huddy seem reasonable. It won't be, because obviously Cuddy doesn't mind a thing that Lucas did, which means she wants House to be hurt (or at least to be collateral damage). And if you do love someone, or even just regard them as a fellow human being, you don't do shit like that, or allow it to be done in your name or for your sake.

But the stupid show writers will probably have House immediately turn all lovey-dovey . . . Okay, enough, I'm gagging here. Sorry for ranting all over your blog!

I have to agree. Typically I like Lucas, or rather, 'liked' him. I started to get annoyed with him during the breakfast scene in Known Unknowns because stupidity really irks me (how could he not notice the looks on everyone else's face? Good lord!) I get the feeling that Cuddy told Lucas about the old prank wars and thought it would be a good way to get his point across. Thing is, Wilson and House are FRIENDS. Lucas is not apart of that group. And christ! He did it because they bought the condo. I thought Wilson buying it made them even! Yeesh!

Cheers to another Taub lover! I come across too many people that don't like him. I think he's HILARIOUS! Dry wit and sarcasm rules the humour world!

Good luck at the job interview! What kind of job is it?
