Reality is Almost Always Wrong: Spoiler Discussion Thread

I've just seen the Blythe promo (thanks, Marykir) and I'm a little mad with her... I don't see why Blythe wants House to do the eulogy knowing he doesn't like his father... What kind of mother can make her son speak and do a eulogy for a hated father? :x At least, I hope House use the eulogy to win Wilson back... :) And about the throwing/hitting incident I hope Wilson is throwing the bottle past House... If his intention is to hit House it has to hurt, House is very, very close to him... :( I can't wait until Tuesday... (well, in my case I have to wait until Wednesday, because I'm not in the US... :wink: )

Hi I SO want Wilson be throwing the bottle in defence of House and not at House. If fact as sick as it sounds I want him to be throwing at the coffin. I just hope that the secret is as big as it is hyped.

I just saw a promo with a new bit of Blythe saying to House, "I don't care that you didn't like him." Um, ouch. I took that to mean that it doesn't bother her/she's not upset that he didn't like him, not that his feelings didn't matter. But, YMMV and all that.

I don't see House written thus far as a sexually abused character. I hope they don't go there.

I don't see House written thus far as a sexually abused character. I hope they don't go there. Ditto. I REALLY hope they don't go that route. Actually saw the promo when it aired (I'm on the west coast, so I was like what promo?). It sounded a bit harsh, but I bet in the grand scheme of things, the comment won't be harsh...it's probably taken out of context by the promo monkeys just to peak interest. House's mom hasn't come across as someone who is harsh before and House has admitted he doesn't hate her, just his dad, so either she's being a mom and saying no matter what, you need to be here (but not meaning it in a viscious way) or she's praising him for being there despite not wanting to be. And for the bottle throwing thing...I don't think Wilson's aiming for House. He wouldn't hit a man who had severe head trauma just a few months earlier (I don't think so, anyway)...he probably expects House to move, or he's aiming passed him. Honestly, both boys really just need a hug, whether House wants one or not.

She's done nothing wrong; she shouldn't be punished for her husband's sins. She failed to protect her vulnerable child from being abused by her spouse. That's a pretty big wrong. I also thought she did a fair bit of enabling in Daddy's Boy that she shouldn't have done. It was realistic and well written but she doesn't get pass from blame. Is this a Doris Egan episode? She writes the best backstories for House and Wilson so I shouldn't worry but right now, with Cuddy making Wilson take House to the funeral when he's decided that he doesn't want to go and Blythe insisting he deliver the eulogy, it feels like they're all treating House like a child who doesn't know what's best for him instead of a 49 year old adult who can make his own decisions and be responsible for their consequences. It's the bipolar way the show treats House, sometimes he's a brilliant person who sees things no one else can (not just medical but emotional too) and is always right and people (mostly Cuddy) let him get away with all sorts of things because he is so amazing and at others they treat him like a 6 year old child.

This is veering off course here...I've wondered a few times if this season is a hallucination for House. Why? Some of the promo pics (the one of him with his head wrapped in a bandage), he's a softer House (practically groveling to get Wilson back), plus what the writer said in response to that one question..."Though I hasten to add that brain injuries can take a long time to manifest, and can do so in unexpected ways." I think about House's worst fears...which might be something he'd hallucinate about: Wilson leaving him, his own inability to focus on his work as he laments Wilson's absence, his cheerleader status having been revealed, hostage situation (?). His possible desires: his dad dying, mabe kissing Cuddy, etc. I know it's highly unlikely, but I don't think it's impossible. Okay, so maybe this is the secret H/W shipper in me that imagines House waking up from his coma, after the bus crash, in the season finale to find Wilson waiting at his bedside, with no intentions of walking away, as if this season's opener was simply a very bad dream. This board is corrupting my huddy thoughts.

She's done nothing wrong; she shouldn't be punished for her husband's sins. She failed to protect her vulnerable child from being abused by her spouse. That's a pretty big wrong. I also thought she did a fair bit of enabling in Daddy's Boy that she shouldn't have done. It was realistic and well written but she doesn't get pass from blame. Maybe she shouldn't get a pass, but as we explicitly saw in Daddy's Boy (and MLC), House doesn't hate her. He hates him. So, what good would it do to say or do something that would degrade her? Or make her feel less loved in her time of need? This board is corrupting my huddy thoughts. Me, too. But it's okay, carrie, just a couple more weeks!!

I took that to mean that it doesn't bother her/she's not upset that he didn't like him, not that his feelings didn't matter. But, YMMV and all that. Really? That sounded like the stern, "tough luck, you'll do it no matter how you feel about it" mother voice to me, not the understanding, "I'm proud of you for making the effort" mother voice. But, like I said, in context it might be something totally different than how I saw it. I don't see House written thus far as a sexually abused character. I hope they don't go there. Word, he's already got physical abuse in his past, let's stay away from sexual abuse. And for the bottle throwing thing...I don't think Wilson's aiming for House. He wouldn't hit a man who had severe head trauma just a few months earlier (I don't think so, anyway)...he probably expects House to move, or he's aiming passed him. I just can't tell, it kind of looks like the bottle leaves his hand, but it's so quick I can't really tell. If he actually let's go of the bottle, I don't think it will hit House because it does look like it's going right by him as opposed to right at him. I've wondered a few times if this season is a hallucination for House. No offense, but we go through that theory every season.

Or make her feel less loved in her time of need? House doesn't hate her; it's one of his qualities that he doesn't hate anyone for what they've done to him (e.g. Chase post Vogler, Stacy) or holds grudges. But wrt Blythe, it doesn't say much because even abused children love the abusive parent. House shouldn't say anything that would degrade her in front of the mourners. But I don't think she's got any right to demand his attendance at the funeral or ask him to deliver the eulogy for a father he disliked or even was conflicted over. As the psychiatrists say, that could be re-traumatizing. I've wondered a few times if this season is a hallucination for House. No offense, but we go through that theory every season. Every season starting in season 3. I think that's telling.

I've wondered a few times if this season is a hallucination for House. No offense, but we go through that theory every season. None taken. I know we go through it each season, which is why I think it would be pretty funny if they actually did do that right when all of us think they won't. I know it won't happen...just saying I want House & Wilson back together.

I know it won't happen...just saying I want House & Wilson back together. LOL, I'm with you there. I just hate dream episodes where I don't know it's a dream episode because when they wake up, it takes away everything that happened for me. Sure, we got some insight into whoever's (House's) mind, but everything anyone else did, didn't happen for them, so there's no real growth for them. An episode of Angel pulled that on me one time and I was pretty mad when I got to the end and suddenly Angel (well, Angelus) woke up and none of it had actually happened. Every season starting in season 3. I think that's telling. Not for me. S3, maybe because the majority of that season was just so...ugh, but I liked S4 and I'm glad all of that turned out to be real. I would hate for them to push a reset button on any set of multiple episodes, even ones that I hated.

I don't see any reason the 40-year old secret will be anything other than the fact that Daddy House disciplined his son harshly. Remember that as far as we know, it is in fact a secret for everyone in the House world except the girl from "One Day, One Room". We don't even know for sure if House's mother is aware of it or how much she knows. Same goes for Wilson (the 'no talking to his son for 2 months' from the preview clip doesn't really warrant the extent of House's hatred for the man after decades have passed. So just because Wilson didn't react surprised at that information, we can't assume that he knows all the details to House's childhood.) And we, as the audience, don't count. I find it interesting, that House is wearing the same clothes on the trip and at the funeral that he wore in the office. My guess at time line is, that House's mom kept calling him at home and office and always got the machine. House heard her message though, knows his father is dead, but didn't call her back, because he thinks, if he avoids it long enough, he can later claim not to have known in time to still get to the funeral. So only shortly later (same day definitely) Wilson - informed by Blythe - fetches House strait from his office, puts him in a car and starts driving. Wilson probably also has to lend him a tie, because House's isn't wearing one at the office, on the trip or when they arrive at the funeral home, but he does, when he gives the eulogy.
