... but I don't think she was just acting for House, there. I don't think Cuddy is any less selfish than the rest of the characters.
Yes, absolutely! It's very selfish on her part to cling on to her House-whisperer, because there are more things to Wilson than his friendship with House. And Cuddy knows this, and despite knowing this, acts the way she does in this episode nonetheless.
People deserve that kind of honesty.
And yes, exactly. That's why I loved that scene so.
I see what you mean about House's loneliness and need in 'House's Head', but I have very little sympathy for him in that arc. I know *why* he felt the way he felt, and I usually manage to sympathize with him nonetheless, but not here. Jackass.
Too many people fall into the trap of using House's behavior as a standard.
I thought the *point* of the show is that House is not a standard? But then, sometimes I think we're all watching very different shows.
