LightMyCandle- 04-23-2009

Okay, I just checked out the screencaps for the newest promo and I officially am convinced that the bachelor party pics we've seen is a hallucination. Everyone's going crazy there and I'm almost positive that it's Wilson's apartment. But, in the new promo there's a shot of Foreman and 13 in a totally different place (like a real strip club) looking kind of bored. So, I'm guessing that's the real bachelor party and House is having one of his own in his head. I wonder if he'll actually be at the real bachelor party while hallucinating the other one or just at his apartment hallucinating the other one. Or, maybe House is hallucinating at Wilson's apartment, that might explain why the "bachelor party" is in Wilson's apartment. Then Wilson catches him hallucinating and House is kind of forced to tell him, thus setting up the next episode with the two of them trying to diagnose House. Also, whose bathtub is that House and Amber are sitting in? That doesn't look like House's place. Second YAY for 1000. :clap: To an extent, I could see that, but Wilson-as-House's-BFF/conscience is one of the longstanding features of the show - it's pretty much his only role, and House having someone to confide in to give the audience a window into his thoughts is kind of a necessity. That's not to say that they're necessarily not going to introduce another trust issue problem for House and Wilson, so much as that they'd just have to fix it, and that'd probably mean another make-up arc at the beginning of next season, which would be repetitive. Exactly, they won't just leave House and Wilson as not being friends while the show suddenly becomes all about the medicine again. Wilson would have no point if he wasn't House's friend. House and Cuddy might get back to a more professional relationship (because they can't go on as they are now for much longer) but I can't see the show cutting House off from both of them in order to get back to the medicine. I haven't seen any indication that TPTB are unhappy with the more personal direction the show has taken anyway.

I don't want to speculate about anything, really, but I can't help myself... #1000 :wizard: :clap: And LMC, where are those screencaps with Amber and House? I can’t find it :?

The pole dancing blogger (she's the blonde stripper in the shot with Taub) said her character was recruited for a bachelor party. Thirteen and Foreman both look like they're drinking soft drinks, so I'm guessing that's what they're doing in that shot, and why they're making analytical faces.

The blogger does seem to differentiate between the "strip club scene" and the "bachelor party scene". I also wouldn't put it past House to send his team on a mission to hire strippers. Also, after seeing the screen caps from the new promo ad, I'm convinced the "immigration officers" are indeed actors and/or strippers hired to smuggle Chase to the party.

I don't think giving House a reason not to trust Cuddy or Wilson will make next season be like S1 or S2, it will just be two more rifts to fix next season. You’re right, that didn’t occur to me. House committing himself would fit the theme of the season of characters trying to change, and be new and kind of shocking. I’d prefer it if House committed himself too. But I doubt they will write it like that after reading Taiga’s theory. Wilson faces more of a chance of losing House (to suicide, say) if his mental illness goes untreated and he would support any decision by House to get professional care, leaving very little potential for any sort of tension, conflict or drama. On the other hand, Wilson faces a very real prospect of losing House if he refuses to accept help and it would make sense for him to step in and have him committed, especially given his history with Danny. That would make for a lot of emotion and conflict and drama which is what the show goes for in the finale. Also, if House decides to leave with Wilson’s support then we aren’t left with anything to discuss over the summer (we know Wilson won’t lose him because we know he won’t die).

Wilson faces more of a chance of losing House (to suicide, say) if his mental illness goes untreated and he would support any decision by House to get professional care, leaving very little potential for any sort of tension, conflict or drama. Unless, the problem is from the DBS in which case there would leave room for guilt on Wilson's part. Or just general pain at having House locked up because he's lost his mind. Or it could even parallel Danny without Wilson having House committed. And there will probably be some House/Cuddy angst too, she just slept with him (if it's real) and then he loses his mind. Having Wilson "betray" House again is not the only way to get drama out of this situation. I think seeing House be put into a psychiatric hospital is painful enough. Besides, S1 and S3 didn't end with a huge cliffhanger, just little ones. They left us curious and with things to discuss, but not so much that we were all panicked and upset. It could play out that Wilson commits House, Taiga certainly gives a good arguement for it, but it can still be dramatic without making it happen that way. H/W are not the only source of drama on this show. And we knew House wouldn't die in the S2 finale, we know House isn't going to die no matter what, at least not until the last episode, so that's kind of a noncliffy cliffhanger anyway. Also, after seeing the screen caps from the new promo ad, I'm convinced the "immigration officers" are indeed actors and/or strippers hired to smuggle Chase to the party. Agreed. That's a total setup. :D

Thanks for the link LMC, you're a sweetie! :kiss:

I'm wondering if there won't be any clips at all for A House Divided. They haven't been this late all season. Have they ever not released the previews before?

travin1- 04-23-2009

I think they tried to placate us with more promo pics instead of the clips.

I wonder if he'll actually be at the real bachelor party while hallucinating the other one or just at his apartment hallucinating the other one. Makes you wonder why he wants to stop hallucinating then... I still think the wild party could be real. If Wilson did have House committed (and it's just a theory!), then I don't see a rift between them occurring. House is actually a pretty forgiving guy, and he understands Wilson. He'll know why Wilson did it, because he cares about House and doesn't want to lose him. "You were trying to help me, protect me. That's what friends do.". If he forgave Wilson for the deal with Tritter, he'll forgive this. I wonder if the point of having Cuddy and House have sex now is not only to come up with way to get them into bed together (House is crazy!), but to establish that Cuddy will have difficulty dealing with House objectively when she needs to. Like Ariadne the thing I really want to know is what is causing the hallucinations and insomnia. I'm no doctor so could someone please explain how brain damage from the DBS could manifest itself 12 months after the fact?

extra_cat- 04-23-2009

I don't think the DBS would cause problems a year later. Maybe he's trying another alternative pain therapy. Maybe he's still seeing a shrink and he's having a reaction to some kind of antidepressant or other medication. Maybe there's something causing insomnia and the insomnia is severe enough to cause the hallucinations.

I'm not a doctor, but if he hit his head when he had his motorcycle accident, (despite the helmet) hard enough, maybe that had something to do with it?

If Wilson did have House committed (and it's just a theory!), then I don't see a rift between them occurring. House is actually a pretty forgiving guy, and he understands Wilson. He'll know why Wilson did it, because he cares about House and doesn't want to lose him. "You were trying to help me, protect me. That's what friends do.". If he forgave Wilson for the deal with Tritter, he'll forgive this. Oh, I have no doubts he'll forgive it. I just question how long it will take. House does know Wilson and if he made Wilson his proxy he had to have considered that Wilson is capable of making choices for House that House might not want, he's seen Wilson do this more than once. I don't know why it would surprise him. I hope there's no rift (In retrospect, I enjoyed the rift arc this season, but it's getting old to go there again) but this is about House's mind. That means so much to him and I can easily see him getting pretty p*ssed if Wilson no longer trusts that he's sane. Makes you wonder why he wants to stop hallucinating then... I still think the wild party could be real. Yes, it is still possible that the party is real (I'm so wishy washy).
