House 2.19

[castalia]

Ok, so like anyone who has grown up in that sort of religious atmosphere, the beginning of this ep made me cringe and hope they wouldn't mock things too much. Honestly, even with Pentecostal parents and being dragged to the occasional healing service, I've never seen one go down like that. People go to the altar, they get prayed for, they go home. None of the dramatic "you're healed, now walk!" stuff. Those are the territory of the real charlatans televangelists.

I like Chase's point of view on this. Yup, still my favorite Duckling.

"I have a friend with...boundary issues". Hee!

House ranting about holes and climbing out of them? Priceless.

Wilson bitching out House in front of the Ducklings? Also priceless.

House uses Zebra pens! Those are the greatest pens ever, yo. I brought a bunch over here with me and have to get my mother to send me more when I need them.

Loved the look on House's face when the kid told him to invite Wilson to the poker game. See? Even God wants them to shag.

Not sure if what Wilson does is actually listening and empathy or sneaky manipulation, but damned if it doesn't work. He's good.

Hugh at the piano!! And my day is complete. *happy sigh*

House knows it's Wilson by his knock? No, that's too easy, I'm not going to say it.

The poker players killed me. "How come he gets a name?" *dead*

Oh man, the moment when House busts Wilson for sleeping with his cancer patient? Ouch. Wilson, you are so messed up. No wonder you and House are practically soulmates. And a "functional vampire"? Geez. You know it's bad when House thinks you're more screwed up than he is.

Interesting theory about viruses attacking cancer. But herpes? *sigh* And of course it's from sex. Everything on this show has to do with sex. Because sex is evil, apparently. And once more the only religious people we get on tv are either intolerant nutjobs or hypocritical liars. Nice. Though Wilson's line about believing in something yet not being able to live up to it was good.

Of course it was Chase with the scoreboard. Really, who else but the former seminarian? Oh, Chase, you're like Paul from Miracles, only not so accident prone.

The last scene made me sad that it looks like Wilson won't be moving back in with House, yet incoherent with joy at the rest of it. Are we ok, indeed. Even after all that fighting, yes boys, you're ok. *loves*

I missed Cuddy, but Chase kicked ass with the whiteboard and there was minimal Cameron. Add in the overt House/Wilson and I'm a happy viewer.
