Cuddy is still the best

[swatkat]

Don: I don’t really care about my job. I do it well. I provide a service. But my goal was always to make enough money to do the things I really like. Music. Travel.

Cuddy: I like those things too.

Don: You like them but they’re not really important to you. I don’t know whether it’s House, your job or if you just thrive on conflict but… You should hear yourself when you’re talking to him. Nothing else in the world’s going on. You’re focused, confident, compelling. Don’t… don’t take this the wrong way, but I’d like to go out with that woman.

My fanwank? It is her job. It's House, who's a part of her job and who she really does enjoy playing with. And it's conflict, because she does thrive on conflict. Cuddy yelling at House is Cuddy at her awesome best, and Don won't get to date that woman if he drags her away from work to travel (although a vacation once in a while would be nice. on a tangent, Cuddy would be a horrible person to go on a vacation with. she would be checking her mail every five seconds, and always on the phone, and thinking about the hospital even when she's *not* on the phone). She will always love her job best. And if the writers were trying to say something else, LALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING!!!

Also, Cuddy looked really hot in this episode. Look! Screencaps!





















See? HOT.

Now, anyone has a good fanwank of Airborne?

Oooh. I'm not really in House fandom, but may I ? The pics are so cute, Cuddy is a doll. I watched this episode (and I love Cuddy) and that whole speech pissed me off a little. I understand that maybe they're trying to imply her connection to House is a little too Serious Business, and that she needs to shut her phone off once in a while, but:

It came off as slightly insulting to career woman. This is Cuddy, and she runs a hospital. I have to consider that incredibly important. (I mean, do we ever see House have a life outside of the hospital ? When he gets criticized, it's not for being too involved/never leaving/loving his job too much. It's for being a jackass.) Cuddy works so hard because she loves what she does and she's terrific at it; and if Don wants the center of her universe to suddenly be him when they're together, it smacks a little of entitlement and it smacks a little of get back in the kitchen.

I'm waaaaay too sensitive. Ha ! I just like Cuddy, and I don't like when TV shows go after female characters for being committed and driven, as if those were exclusively male traits.

I love Cuddy. She's pretty and gorgeous and awesome.

Oh, I didn't think of it that way at all, but now that you say it, that makes sense too (in which case, House did her a favour?). I mostly saw it as Don realising that she'll never see the things he loves doing as important - but yeah, leaving her in the cold like that? Entitlement.It also seems to be implying that Cuddy can never be happy with anyone but House, oh no, look at how she glows when she talks to House? Her date said so! But since she's not allowed to be happy, she'll just have to be miserable because she's not going to have House, either.

*stares at the pretty* She was indeed gorgeous in this episode, especially when she was at the door talking to House. I mean, look at those eyes! *stares at pretty some more*

I'm of the opinion that television does not ever handle career women very well. There's nothing wrong with Cuddy and her dedication to the hospital; she runs the damn thing, she should be intense about it. That aspect of Cuddy will always relate to her baby, and if Don wanted to experience that side of her, he should have got a job at PPTH. :P

At least the writers don't write Cuddy as emotionally stunted (like in Bones) or, on the other hand, that she's better off not having a social life at all (like in CSI). *shakes fist at TV writers*
