SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW

swatkatI caved and watched without A. It's very late, so some brief thoughts.

It's weird. I guess when you've been in a fandom for so long and read so much fic about a certain pairing, when it finally happens it feels more like fanservice than something organic that came from the show. That, and by this point I've read so much House/Cuddy (and House/Wilson, which, in terms of House getting into a serious relationship, are very much alike), I've probably read almost every scenario the writers can think up at least once if not more, and seen them done well. The sex and conversations House and Cuddy had in this episode felt more like options than actual hard canon, like one of many possibilities that could have happened. So... basically like fic. It all felt very familiar.
To which I replied:
EXACTLY how I felt. I was like, 'I've read that story. No, wait, I wrote that story,' so watching was a bit of a disconnect. It's probably not the show's fault, though there's something to be said about dragging something for too long which I don't have the energy to think about right now.
It was not out of character as I was afraid - House being emotionally manipulative while being emotionally vulnerable, Cuddy giving in, as she always does (she always gives in, yes, even in Season One of All That Was Good and Holy); cuteness mixed with real fear - but... odd, nonetheless.
+ ILOBEYOU was priceless, though.
+ The B-plot was side-splittingly funny, thanks to Dr. Richardson's antics and Thirteen's nonchalance, but she'll be missed. I really, really do not want to watch a all-guys, all-the-time show, with bonus Girlfriend Cuddy.
+ I love Cuddy's new assistant. Can we keep him?
+ Wilson came in through thebathroom kitchen window! He *is* officially House's stalker, just as House is his. ♥
+ Generally enjoyable fluff with great character moments and fanservice. Will they be able to produce something more coherent along with this, however, or devolve into just fluff&fanservice while heroically trying to salvage something in the last two episodes like they did last season? Who knows.
+ Cuddy said, 'I don't want you to change.'
And now I really cannot keep my eyes open, so off I go to bed.
