...and the writers respond?

After cruising a few LJ communities and reading some of those fandom articles, I've had a little essay brewing in the back of my head about whether and how certain television shows, such as 'Boston Legal' and 'House' (okay, because those are the only two shows I watch), are airing comments intended as direct responses to fan discussion, specifically that of slashers. I just have to share tonight's clincher.



Scene: Chase is about to be peer-reviewed for possible malpractice. Stacy is arguing with House, trying to figure out what he's leaving out of the story.

Stacy: What are you hiding?
House: I'm gay. [beat] Oh wait, that's not what you were asking. [strikes a thoughtful pose] Does explain a lot, though -- no girlfriend, always hanging around Wilson, obsession with sneakers...


FYI in the beginning of the episode House and Wilson were playing some sort of made-up (and we assume, private to the pair of them) game involving flipping coins across the desk over a paper clip-chain net strung between two pencils. Wilson scored one off House, who soon rebutted by flipping the coin in his face after cracking a joke about oral sex. Someone's already posted photos.
