That awkward moment when you’re rereading one of your fanfictions and you’re like, I have problems.
I’m going back through my old fanfiction. Apparently I’ve killed an alarming number of characters in a particularly violent manner.
I promise this will be my last American Idol post for a while
I have to say that I’m not as upset as I thought I would be about Phillip winning. He did really well the past two weeks, and his single was definitely better than Jessica’s. I’ve realized that I like his voice when he’s like, legit singing and not doing that growly thing he does. And it’s not like everyone at least in the top seven or so won’t get a record deal, so really, what does it matter?
I just came to terms with the realization that I’m probably going to watch American Idol again next year.
That show causes me so much anxiety, but I love it. It’s so addictive. I don’t understand. I hated it so much for like, four years. I kind of feel like I’m selling my soul.
I could say claim that I won’t watch it next year if Phil wins, but we all know it would be an empty threat. Jessica for the win though.
I’m going to talk a little bit more about the House finale.
Well, I haven’t really watched the show since it came back from Christmas, but I did watch the three episodes before the finale because I wanted to know what was going on. Even though I wasn’t really into it anymore, it was a major part of my life for a good three or four years. I watched the first three seasons in a week and I was absolutely obsessed with the show during seasons four and five. I remember the summer between Wilson’s Heart and Dying Changes Everything being the longest wait ever. I remember flipping out the entire week before Last Resort. I remember back when Kutner and Thirteen were my OTP. I was upset when the show started to kind of spiral out in seasons six and seven, but it picked back up for season eight, so considering the last few years, it went out on a relatively high note, and I was grateful for that. House was really the show that pulled me out of the eighties and nineties and into modern-day television, so I have it to thank for all the shows I watch today.
Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there. I think it was House’s time to end, but that doesn’t stop it from aching.
As I side note, I was please to find that when they were showing those clips during the retrospective, I could still pick out each episode. It was great that they brought back everyone they did. I knew ahead of time about Kutner, Cameron, Masters, and Thirteen, but it was nice to see Amber and Stacy. I was hoping they would make appearances, but I wasn’t expecting them to, especially not Stacy, but it was a treat. I’m glad the show ended in the kind of bittersweet way it did. It was fitting and not totally predictable, because I know I’ve maintained the belief since I started watching the show five years ago that House was going to die in the finale, though when he appeared to be dead at only 9:45, I knew something was going on, because with that show, nothing is resolved until at least 9:55.
*goes to watch pilot*
Now that my thoughts are collected
HOUSE SPOILERS AHEAD!
At the beginning of the episode when we had no idea what was going on
When Kutner came back
When Amber came back
When Stacy came back
When Cameron came back
When Cameron told House he deserved to give up
When Cameron told House she loved him
When Foreman and Wilson got to the building
When the beam blocked House getting out
When they brought the body bag out and there were still fifteen minutes left
When people were speaking at the funeral
When the phone started ringing
When we found out House gave up his life to be around for Wilson’s last days
After the montage at the end
After the episode ended
Thanks for eight years!
Okay, okay
I don’t think I have a GIF big enough for what just happened. But there are still thirteen minutes left. Not that I’d be surprised if they ended up killing him, I was kind of expecting it, but this is House. You can’t take anything at face value until at least 9:55. I don’t know.
Spoiler for the House finale
I didn’t know Amber was coming back. I only knew about Kutner, Thirteen, Masters, and Cameron. I’m pretty happy about it though. I was hoping we would see her again. Fingers crossed for Stacy too.
