[Entry 006] House MD, S5E2: Not Cancer

This post will contain spoilers about the recently aired episode of House, S5E2: Not Cancer. Do not continue if you have not seen the episode and do not want to be spoiled.

They are really packing in the House/Wilson angst in these first few episodes, aren't they? I must say that I cannot complain, though. Wilson is being kind of a jerk, but he'll get over it, and I always like to see a little drama in my TV shows. Again, knowing that they will make up puts things in perspective, and makes it a lot less sad when seeing Wilson being angry at House.

Anyway, overall, I adored the episode. Again, I liked the PotW, and I loved the PI, just like I thought I would!

PotW: Apple (that name always cracks me up) seemed like a really interesting person. I like how she lied about having a two-year-old daughter so that the wife of the other guy would feel bad for her and consent to have her husband's brain biopsied. It obviously did not work, but I think if the woman had not know that Apple didn't have any visitors, she would have been convinced. I didn't think she was lying, anyway.

"The world was ugly," is one of my favourite scenes. She stopped being an architect after she got her sight back, because she did not like what she was seeing. I like to be a dweeb and think she meant it both ways. Like, she finally saw the world (even though her view was distorted, it turned out) and then she saw it. Still. Going from being an architect to being a math teacher? Kids are assholes, should have done something else.

PI: Lucas Douglas. Lol that name. Anyway, he was so awkward and cute! Getting all pissy at the fellows when they were thinking his inputting ideas was odd. AND THAT LAUGH OF HIS. 'No no, I sneezed.' His argyle socks get him so many awesome points, in my book. Also, his stalking of that woman was hilarious. I cannot wait for next week when he interacts with Cuddy, as I am sure there will be more than just what we saw in the preview.

House and Wilson: Even though Wilson was only in that one scene, I really like how he was still pretty much the centre of attention on the show. House hiding out in his empty office, House asking the PI about Wilson, House pining after Wilson, etc. I am totally fine if they do a few more episodes with this, House moping around while Wilson is off trying to pretend they're not friends is good for character development. =P

House trying to find a new friend: It is funny enough that House pretty much told that guy to pay for his lunch, it is even funnier that the guy actually paid. No idea why he did that, but it was good times. 'Word is, you're into monster trucks.' I like how the man did not just tell him to sod off. He obviously did not want to chat it up with him and be best friends, but I think he handled House's insanity pretty nicely.

'Are you checking me out?' (the other guy) and 'I think I'm falling in love' (House) were probably my favourite quotes from that exchange. House is such an odd, odd man. I feel bad for him, trying to find somebody to hang around with, but even when he is being pathetic, it is hilarious, and that is one of the things I quite enjoy about the show.

Oh oh, and this exchange. Because it is beautiful

Guy: You know I'm not gay, right?
House: You don't wanna have sex, that's fine with me.

Obviously I cut a few bits out, but you get the point. This show brings the good times.

Other random parts: House calling that nurse into Apple's room for no reason and telling her to get him peppermint tea. Kutner and Foreman blowing high-pressure water through the dead guy's bowel, and getting guts all over themselves. House insisting Apple has cancer, then when he is 'proven right', saying she does not.

Other quotes I enjoyed:

'Old people are scared of black people.' (House... I think.)

'I want ice cream!'
'Not until you learn to read!' (Random kid and Lucas)

'They go around the room, cry about who's dead.' (Lucas)

'Your type is much stupider than her.' (House)

'House many friends do you have?'
'Seventeen.'(House and Lucas)

'I don't care how often a kid cries he'd being eaten by a wolf, Mommy's still going to come running.' (House)

Things I am looking forward to next week:

-The PI hitting on Cuddy.
-House teasing Thirteen about that woman, or whatever.
