Random fandom excitement, and lack thereof

[bironic]

Apparently this has been making the rounds for a while, but I hadn't seen it and maybe you haven't either: a gorgeous piece of House/Wilson / Holmes/Watson fanart. Someone in the comments made a good point about Vicodin/cocaine too. I think quality-wise it's right up there with this other painting of the TNG crew in Arthurian roles that Henry Jenkins put on the cover of Textual Poachers.

catilinarian is flying in tomorrow for what will doubtless be a weekend of good conversation and media gluttony, plus "Lestat" on Saturday and -- isn't she lucky? -- our dance competition Sunday at me ol' stomping grounds. It's odd; after and despite that initial string of dreams about the play, and even though we're seeing it on what is now opening night, I haven't been very excited about "Lestat." Mayhap it's protection against disappointment.

For instance, I'm much more excited about "House" lately, especially an upcoming ep in which House, Wilson & Cuddy play poker and piano in formal wear. The show is FINALLY back next week, with Samantha Mathis guest-starring to boot, and then 7 more non-stop eps to follow which are sure to completely contradict whatever I come up with for my ficathon assignment. (I've already seen on the Fox website that Wilson is a good cook -- unless that was sarcasm, which I'd suspect is the case if you judge by House's remark about vomit-stuffed peppers in the last preview.) It's been a while since I've been excited over upcoming episodes of a show, and even longer since I've gone in search of spoilers. It's nice.

In other random fangirl news, Thomas Kretschmann has just started filming a new movie in St. Petersburg called "In Transit" with Daniel Brühl, John Malkovich and Vera Farmiga. Kretschmann! Brühl! Farmiga (Sebastian Roché's wife)! It's worth braving Malkovich! It seems TK is the main character in the movie, which is about German POWs (what a novel role for him) from the siege of Leningrad in a Russian camp guarded by women. His soldier/professor is in love with Farmiga's female prison guard. It's a dream match I never would have thought up, and so very nearly TK and Sebastian... who have probably met on set... *Less than a day after her first migraine aura, she drifts off into her first RPS daydream.*

But before they fall in love she probably smacks him around a bit, right??



And does RPS stand for what I think it does? ;-)

Sorry you had a migraine, honey, I get those and they're no fun at all. Hope you're feelin better *hugs*

Thanks, and I'm sorry that you have them! ...So are we counting it as one, even though I nipped it in its little headachey bud?

(And oh God, what does it say about me that even as I was wondering whether it might turn into a migraine, I was thinking about that "House" ep where -- oh, you might not have seen this one yet because it's mid-season 2, so stop reading if you don't want to know -- the ep where House deliberately gives himself a migraine and spends half a day on his back grimacing, and being a little bit excited because I'd be able to sympathize with him (a) during the migraine and (b) next time I watched it?)

We can only hope! lol. If it's anything like the scene with the Russian POW in "Stalingrad," we're in business, baby.

It might, if it starts with "Real" and ends with "Slash" and has a "Person" thrown in the middle for good measure. Oh, lord, what is life coming to. But now I'm glad I checked this before bed, because that's a nice image to fall asleep to.

OMG That fanart is gorgeous. I had never considered that dynamic in the House/Wilson relationship before. Although I think it's glaringly obvious in the Mulder/Scully one :)

I've seen House/Wilson Holmes/Watson comparisons at least as far back as the episode where we see House's apartment address and it's the same number as Holmes' house, at which point the people who mentioned the connection got responses of "oh yeah, I totally see it" and "yeah, we totally *saw* it." copperbadge regularly uses a Holmes/House morphing icon that's pretty cool. And actually he posted a little H/W fic this morning that uses "Holmes" and "Watson" as pseudonyms for "anonymity" -- it makes sense if you read it.
