I'm conflicted about a lot of last night's episode. The idea of a dream sequence episode is kinda silly in and of itself and I'm disappointed in probably about 80% of it but the slash fan in me loved a lot of it---the My Two Dads bit with the family hug, Milkman!Wilson was too flippin' adorable and Hugh in heavy eye make-up and fingerless gloves and a top hat, while singing and dancing in some kind of crazy Gaga-esque video? Gah and Unf to the max.
I like Hugh Laurie's singing voice. It's quite different from House's voice, though, so I think that's why it didn't work as well last night. HL really lowers his vocal range to speak in an American accent but when he sings, he sings closer to his natural voice pitch. There is a disconnect that makes his singing feel "off" from House's voice.
Mostly, I am pleased that Huddy is over (and I feel pretty confident that it is & I am hoping there won't be too much dwelling on a will they/won't they backslide) and I am pleased that he's back on Vicodin. Which I get sounds awful, but I at least want to see him struggle w/ addiction and pain, yk? The euphoria of Huddy was a pretty big and unsustainable coverup of the pain and work of living with addiction and chronic pain.
I need to rewatch last night's episode. I was spoiled and knew the breakup & drug relapse were coming, so I was mainly watching for those and not paying enough attention to the POTW or secondary and tertiary characters. I think it was the first time I liked the Amber Tamblyn character.
"Hate the statistics, not the statistician" needs to be embroidered on a pillow. I've been really, really enjoying the Taub/Foreman relationship the last several episodes. They have their own little baby bromance going on and it's adorable.
