Random House thoughts

You can see how Stacy was a good match for House. I can watch them together and immediately get why they were together.

I don't get a "OMG Stacy is such a bitch." thing off of her yet again doing something expressly against her SO's permission. Instead I get more of a vibe of wondering why Stacy seems to enjoy relationships that require this sort of... herm. Agressive co-dependance? Where if regular co-dependance is constantly trying to help and fix and validate the other person, agressive co-dependance is doing so from an alpha position and without the need for the other person to validate you by being fixed?

I mean okay, with House you couldn't predict it. But she did it again? And had no qualms or surprises about having to do it this time? The fact that she's not even fazed plus the fact that she knows that whatshisbucket would forgive her to me smacks of somebody who knew going into the marriage that this was the dynamic she wanted. Which to me suggests not so much bitch as somebody who perhaps benefit from an afternoon of sitting down and asking herself why she does that.

In a way she's like the anti-Cameron. Cameron's all "Love me, define me, I have no sense of self unless I am reflected in someone else's eyes!" and Stacy's more like "This is who I am, I am going to take charge, and how dare you be upset if I make you come along for the ride?"

Which, you know, again - you can see why she was a good match for House.

As for Cameron - oh GOD. Shut UP. Dude! Inappropriate fucking much? The phrase you're looking for is none of your damn business. Write it down on a post-it and carry it with you for the rest of the day. Or maybe I need to give that to Stacy so she can slap it across your forehead.

I suppose I'm supposed to look at Cameron and be all "Oh, her love for House has made her jealous and therefore she too acts in unprofessional ways because of what her heart tells her!" or something but... no. Not really. Because here again we're seeing a Cameron who couldn't give a fuck about House's true emotions so I can't say I'm really swayed by the thought of her wun twoo wub.

Plus, dude - you manipulated House into a date, he called you on your shit. While I get that you need to tell yourself something to ease the sting of cold, hard, truth, and while I get why you'd want to be nasty back to him, you coming up to House all "Well clearly the problem was that you're just not capable of love." is just - no. No. That's about as out of line as if Chase said clearly you're a dyke if you're not into him. Babe, it's called a mirror. Go stare in one a while.

Though really my big problem with that as her first conclusion isn't so much her speaking it as it is that it's just more evidence of why she is no longer a sympathetic character. "I could have listened to you and, given the fact that I already know I have some problems, possibly taken your words to heart but instead I decided it's all about you being a basket case and I personally am perfect." Yeah, no, not hanging out with Cameron at the lunch table.

Then we couple that with "But it turns out you're just not capable of loving me [lip wobble]." and again I'm back to wanting to remind Cameron that the lesson of the frikkin' month here (or however much time has passed for them) is that maybe the problem isn't that House isn't worshipping you like the pretty pretty princess you think you are. Possibly - just possibly - the problem is that you are not a pretty pretty princess. I realize that's not a fun truth to snuggle up to in the middle of the night, but until you show me signs of at least vaguely considering its potential to exist even if only in a paralell universe I'm just not feeling sorry for you.

Sigh.

Anyway - Cuddy! What happened to Cuddy? One quickie blip at the end and that's it? I get how if Stacy's coming back next year that they're probably holding off on the Cuddy and Stacy scenes much like they're holding off on Stacy and Wilson scenes, but not one shot of Cuddy pulling House aside and talking to him about how possibly inappropriate all this was? Or hauling his ass on the carpet for going against the husband's wishes? I suppose it was a matter of time constraints but still, I missed Cuddy!

And, finally: House and Wilson are so gay.
