House 6.2, and dreamlets

[bironic]

I had a lovely dream last night that my favorite high school teacher (who in the dream had been a doctor and was considering returning to his training) leaned over my desk during class and in a fit of affection kissed me on the cheek. It was very sweet and made me wake up happy.

I blame mcsmooch.

The night before, I had a different dream that would've made for a good mcsmooch except I didn't feel like going to the trouble to write it. Sad face. John and Rodney and their son, Finn maybe (from "A Farm in Iowa"), were visiting an air show/museum or something or other, and John was looking forward to seeing this one plane, so after seeing something else in the exhibit in the morning they left to make sure they got to the plane exhibit on time, only it was a wreck reconstructed and not the real thing. John was disappointed, but soon enough Rodney handed him their son, who was just so young and innocent and happy that John couldn't help but be cheered. Which was also sweet.

For the kid, I blame endless promotions of Dexter.

Anyway,

Things that make me happy:

+ House feeding Wilson tomato sauce off the spoon. Wilson blurry and bedheaded. Seriously. Sexy and adorable and I don't even need to think up or read bedroom scenes to complement it.

+ Wilson in that green shirt with the sleeves rolled up, in an apron, at a cooking class.

+ Foreman and Thirteen looking fit and hot, lying in bed.

+ Taub flailing on the floor like a puppy.

+ Secret Mandarin.

+ Continued therapy sessions. House struggling but honestly trying. Having leg pain. Trying to channel his brainpower so it isn't destructive. Being candid to someone, even if it isn't Wilson or Cuddy. (Sad but not surprising, since Wilson doesn't trust him and Cuddy brings romantic complications.) Being candid about not knowing whether returning to his old life will be beneficial or harmful.


Things that don't make me happy:

- A patient who wants to be in control, who fears not being in control, who wants to trust his doctor but seizes on that doctor's wavering confidence, who wants to be informed by researching possibilities online. All sympathetic things. So why tip the guy over into crazy? Okay, for drama, yes. What happens when that goes too far. An object lesson. Still, it's sad. Could have been interesting to have the patient reach one conclusion and the team reach another, and have a slower, thinkier showdown. Possibly with more ambiguity, rather than having House step in and save the day.


Misc.:

~ Cuddy's right. House is a genius. Foreman is not a genius. It takes a genius – a genius with guts – to run a department like that. Foreman's tried this before, several times, and couldn't consistently pull it off. Don't know why this time would be different. He lacks the confidence and experience and lightning-quick unconventional intellectual connections.

~ So, what did the giant pterodactyl stand for?

ETA: ~ Cool background character-building, or whatever you'd call it, on Wilson being a godfather. Wonder who made him one?

It's all the better when you put it that way. <3333

I wondered if you too would remember that the cancer!reseacher who quit her job turned to cooking. It made me wonder if Wilson wasn't copycatting her (and House, in turn, copycatted Wilson).

? While Foreman isn't the genius House is, he did save the case, in a way House often does himself-- taking a technically unrelated fact and connecting it back to the patient. But, yeah, I'm not sure why he thinks he could pull this trick off regularly, when he hasn't in the past.
