I'm not going to go too into detail just in case there are some who haven't seen the new Episode (S5E4) however, don't read on if you are avoiding spoilers like the plauge.
Okay so for those of you that are still here; the whole House/Wilson thing just warms my heart. Slash aside, what a wonderfully fucked up yet beautiful friendship they have. Seeing this new episode makes me realised what wonderful characterisation the writers of the show have put into it. It's extremely hard to explain but they are both so complex, certainly not flat, linear characters. It's great to have such complexity, despite House's obvious issues, he's a loveable character because he speaks his mind like we all want to sometimes, he's delightfully intelligent, (gorgeous), (Hugh Laurie) and we also pity him just enough that we know he wouldn't want us to and not so much that we think he's pathetic.
This sort of complexity is rarely seen in television programmes, I'm not saying that every other show is rubbish, I'm just stating that Characterisation in House MD is bloody genious.
Wilson is also beautifully complex, he isn't like every other TV character out there, he has issues and that is wonderful. How many characters can you name that base their relationships on the neediness of the people around them and have real issues letting go yet are so firey and wonderful.
I really do have a great love in my heart for their relationship, even is House is an unfeeling person you can see in everyway that he adores what he has with Wilson and certainly wasn't set on letting it go, yet he was torn with the idea of having to show some feeling to get him back. Wilson walked straight into all this, just being around House meant manipulation to the highest degree, House knew he would get what he wanted and it worked.
On a more realistic note the characterisation is perfect in terms of psychology; people like that, with those issues and in those situations would react in such a way. Beacause Wilson is so calm yet passionate it is only correct that it would take him time to lose his temper but when he does it is full of feeling and emotion. House, because he doesn't like to show any emotion yet deep down harbours enough to drown himself in misery, is going to be a complete cock to manipulate the person he knows so well simply because he's in the perfect position to do so. He wants Wilson back enough to make him hate him for just a little while until Wilson can admit that what he has with House is actually quite special and deep even if it's never talked about.
If you've read this with no idea what I am on about then watch House MD. Fabulous medical drama staring our own (that's us being the Brits) Hugh Laurie as Gregory House.
