tzikeh: (house - silver platter - slash - wilson)
[personal profile] tzikeh
This is mostly a comment I posted in [livejournal.com profile] no_detective's lj, but it's early and I can't think very hard, so here it is as a partial discussion of the episode. This is the light stuff. The heavy stuff will come later.

ETA: No new episodes until JANUARY?! Fuck. Me.

The slash in this was mighty indeed - starting right with House waking Wilson by singing "Faith" ("Well, I guess it would be nice / if I could touch your body / you know not everybody / has got a body like you"). House: "He's a self-important jerk." Wilson: "Seems to be what I'm attracted to." Wilson calling House "Limb." House asking Wilson "Late night with the Pigeon Sisters?" House wearing Wilson's hunting cap in the car when the go to visit the possible-organ-donor's sister. House refusing to come to the surgery because "If you die, I'm alone," but showing up anyway just as Wilson is going under (and RSL acting with just the tiniest change in his eyes in that moment is pure fucking awesome). House being there in recovery until Wilson wakes up. The laughing scene (always awesome--especially how in this one Wilson laughs and then clutches himself because the surgery site is still painful). House asking him if he's angry and Wilson being "oh, no, I'm still glad" and House being all... clearly, this man needs to go get angry somewhere.

I love that Wilson not only buys the loft, but that, even after basically throwing House out of his place (and I think, at that moment, he meant it), he says, while looking around the new place's kitchen, "Well, we do need a bigger refrigerator (and House's infinitessimal 'omg' face at the 'we' part of that)," and then "I'm changing our address to a P.O. box." And House's wonderful turning-of-the-tables with "Baby steps." Wilson has encouraged House in his hard work of becoming less of an asshole by saying "Baby steps," so it only makes sense that House would encourage Wilson to let some of that anger out by saying the same thing.

I'm sure I'm missing a million other tiny slash moments that I adored, but man, the episode was PACKED with them.

(The joke about Tucker telling Wilson that the animals can read your minds, and Wilson saying that he should stop thinking about German porn, and and Tuck saying "no, that attracts them" is a sly reference to the fact that the Germans are famous in the porn world for scat, and that animals are attracted to the scent of animal feces. God I love when they do things like this.)

BTW - sauces say that the next episode is even better w/r/t um, you know. Things. And that Robert Sean Leonard might as well start writing that Emmy acceptance speech right now.

I assure you that coming into this ep anticipating all sorts of wonderful slash will not hinder my enjoyment one bit.

I may have squealed a lot during this episode.

So the Germans are famous in the porn world for scat. Cool, I've learned something new!

If a lurker may chime in, I was squealing with slashy glee throughout the episode.

I liked that after Tucker said something along the lines of "Well, the person you want to be with when you are dying isn't always the person you want to be with when you are all right", Wilson SHOWED us that the person he wants there when he might die (during surgery) is the person he wants there when things are ok (in his new loft) - House. And that's how it should be, Tucker, you stupid fool.

The slash gods are pleased, they are pleased.

Anyone is welcome to comment at any time!

And yes, I forgot to point that out -- "The person you want when you're dying isn't the same as the person you want when you're living." But in Wilson's life (*and* in House's life) it totally is.Om nom nom.

Definitely the key word for the episode is SLASH. Holy moly!

And a German porn joke. Totally awesome. XDDDD

Holy shit. I have never seen a single episode of House - and as you know, Bob, I don't actually watch TV - but I think, if I had that ep, I would actually watch it. Because. Well. If that ep was fan fiction, and I was writing a rec for it, I would (based solely on your summary here) call it PG House/Wilson.

Acceptable! (Sadly, when we moved, we went from "awesome" to "acceptable." I am considering FiOS, seriously, because I am just that pathetic.) In other words, I can download a single episode of something, but not fast enough for my DW-loving nephew.

I was struck by the conversation when House says that he's fine with Cuddy buying a house with someone, and Wilson argues that dating and living together are different. House says something like, yes, I realize this must ultimately result in sex.

...And then the episode ends with them buying a house together. Or did I completely make that up?

OKAY HOLD UP -- WHAT ARE THESE EP11 RUMORS? I MUST KNOW DLSKFJSDLFKJDSFDSF I CANNOT FIND THEM ON THE INTERNETS. I BURN FOR THEM.

Although seriously, watching this ep was amazing. I am never taking it off the TiVo. NEVER.

To keep the numbers straight in your head, "Wilson" was Episode 9 (609).

There's this:
Question: Do you have any news regarding House, Wilson, and the progression of their relationship?
Ausiello: I’m hearing there’s tons of good House-Wilson action in episodes 10 and 11, including a scene my mole singles out as one of his/her “favorite Hilson moments ever.”
and this:
Question: You recently said that Robert Sean Leonard should prepare an Emmy acceptance speech, so that must mean Wilson has some juicy storyline action coming up on House. What can you tell us about our favorite boy wonder oncologist?
Ausiello: Don’t be surprised if around episode 10 the tables turn and House ends up nursing Wilson back to health.
and, most of all, this:
Question: Anything else you can tell us about episode 10 of House?
Ausiello: It airs Dec. 7 and, based on what I’m hearing, Robert Sean Leonard may want to start writing his Emmy acceptance speech now.
The only part of this that's weird is that it says episode 10 airs this coming Monday (according to Ausiello), but the official site says there's no new episodes til January. Possibly they pushed the 10/11 heavy lifting til after the holidays.

The confusing thing is that Greg Yaitanes (on Twitter) uses the Fox production ep #s which assume that "Broken" (6x01) is two episodes, so you have to add 1 to every subsequent episode number.

And funny that they're saving the big eps until after the holidays. Would've thought actually having a HOLIDAY EP would get quite a lot of eyeballs.

This ep made me so happy. Even the partner thought it nearly made up for the 'shipper whiplash ep (not his words).

Also, DURING THE EPISODE, I kept thinking of your silver platter icon. SO GROOD.

Randomly wandering through, but one of the House producers is on Twitter, and was asked whose idea "Faith" was. Apparently it was Hugh Laurie's. Just makes it awesomer, right? *g*

Er, also! I don't know if you're interested in spoilers, but if so I wrote some (http://community.livejournal.com/house_wilson/3812761.html) posts (http://community.livejournal.com/house_wilson/3812924.html) collecting all of what we know about upcoming episodes, so far.
