Amazon shipped that bad boy fast. And as always with Gackt, I had to practically dismantle the packaging to get to the CD:). A part of me wonders why they didn't just size the booklet so it would fit inside the CD box, but hey, it's filled pretty pictures. I won't ask too many questions. Now it just remains to be seen whether Love Letter will kick American Idiot out of my CD player.
Alas, no one on
the_rec_room replied to my plea for Tombstone Doc/Wyatt fic. I was very much looking forward to cowboy smut, darn it.

Whew. Needed to let that out; now the brain can work again.
Before getting to the office scene, some other things:
Wow, House was just a baby saving machine, wasn't he? And fanficcers? We now have proof that House doesn't limp in his dreams.
I loved that Foreman really seemed upset that Cameron was gone. Foreman/Cameron is my happy ending pairing for this show; much as I like House/Cameron, it's a trainwreck. Aside from the meta reason that if House manages to actually be happy the show ends, I don't think emotionally he's capable of sustaining a romantic relationship, and I don't think the reasons she's attracted to him are entirely healthy. Foreman, though, has a lot of the personality traits she finds attractive in House, without the brokenness. At the end of the series, I'd like her to be happy with Foreman, with a lot of regret and could-have-beens directed at House. Any tiny baby steps in that direction make me happy.
I'm going to go on record saying that I don't see the House/Cuddy vibe. I just don't. I think she likes him; I can see them having had a one-night-stand in the past, but I don't see her having any current interest in him. What I would really love is if the producers pulled a complete swerve and revealed she had a girlfriend at home. Why should only House and Wilson get the gay subtext? And speaking of....
What struck me most about That Scene (aside from the squee and, "Dear God these two love each other") is how isolated and lonely Wilson is. In the Holmes stories, Watson is the kind of man who has plenty of chums, old pals from school, and guys he plays billiards with at the club, but only one friend. Apparently Wilson is the same way. It's always baffled me; these are the kinds of people who, as far as I'm concerned, if at the end or your life you could count them among your friends, that's proof you've done something right with your life. It was the same thing when I watched Fruits Basket; I couldn't understand how this girl could only have two friends and such a craptacular family. I would kill to have a friend like Wilson or Watson or Tohru.
So we learned some important things about Wilson: the two most important things in his life are his job and House, both of which, it could be argued, he puts above his marriage (by the way, Jimmy? That might explain the wives lining up to leave you. Just a thought). I don't see how anyone could argue that he doesn't love House (whether you're on the slash side of the Force or not, you have to use love here) at least as much as he loves his wife. At least.
Other things I loved about the scene: that Wilson actually looked guilty after the "stupid speech" remark. For a second, I though he was going to apologize to House. Yes, it was an unfair comment, but dammit, he had the right to be unfair at that moment. That he not only seemed to realize he was being unfair, but felt bad about it, is adorable. And just make me angrier that the man doesn't have more friends.
I also loved how long it look House to make his intelligence check. Look, House! Other people in the world except you! And then the look on his face when he realized what had happened. Despite Vogler's constant threats, I don't think House ever expected it to come to this. And he clearly felt horrible, and was at a total loss for words.
As for Vogler: I don't think he's gone for good. He's the kind of man who's going to take this personally. But while I desperateley wanted him to get hit upside the head with a cane, I did find one thing about him interesting: he really thought he was the good guy. He really thought he was the hero of the story. I liked that. I wished they'd done more with it.
Now, a prediction: House is going to wind up a Cameron's door in the finale.
In other fannish musings, I rewatched Willow over the weekend, and I must be growing more perverse as I age---I never noticed the intensely slashly Martigan/Airk vibe before. I'm now wondering if there's any fanfic out there about what happened between these two; clearly, they were friends at one point. No one happens to know of any, do they?
Alas, no one on
