Ethan Embry guest starred this week as a drug dealer who has all sorts of stuff wrong with him, but refuses to share useful information. Scratch that, he’s an undercover cop who doesn’t want to blow his cover or mess up the big bust they have planned. Anyone else feel bad for Eddie, Mickie’s drug dealer friend? Sure he’s probably killed dozens of people and he’s a criminal and all, but he was totally there for Mickie. I felt bad for him too, until about 10 minutes ago when I realized that the actor played Donnie Pfaster on The X-Files, who abducted and tried to rape/murder Scully TWICE. Sympathy officially gone. Sorry. Oh yeah, and Mickie totally dies, which is pretty rare on House. Sorry, dude.
Most importantly, we had some pretty hot House/Wilson action this week. Wilson tried to ask a neighbor out on a date, only to find out that their entire building thinks that House and Wilson are a gay couple. House decides to mess with Wilson by reinforcing this idea (why hello giant Chorus Line poster and Evita listening parties). House then decides that he wants to sleep with this girl too and is planning to pull the whole backrub turns into a front-rub, “I’ve never felt this way about a woman before”, routine. Then, in a moment that will live forever in Hilson infamy, Wilson proposes to House in a restaurant. And they lived happily ever after. Wait, no . . . neither one of them gets the girl (although House tries to put in a good word for Wilson with the girl during his confession/semi-apology).
Fringe ~ Unearthed
Okay, apparently we were warned ahead of time in commercials or something that this episode was actually a first season reject, but Courtney and I (plus a whole lot of other viewers) totally missed that heads up and had a mini-heart attack when Charlie popped up part way through the episode. Not only did Charlie die in the beginning of the season, but Olivia shot Shape Shifter Charlie right between the eyes during “Momentum Deferred”. After a few minutes of trying to remember what the heck happened before the Winter break we were quite confident that this was an old episode. Astrid’s first season hair (which we prefer) reinforced this a few moments later.
Besides all of that confusion, this was a perfectly okay episode. Nothing particularly spectacular, with the exception of some Olivia/Peter stuff brought up by possessed girl. We can see why it was left off the schedule. I wish they had just put it on the first season DVD as a bonus instead of confusing the hell out of us though!
Regardless, here is your Observer sighting (looking how clear Michael Ceveris is! A sure sign of being shot in NYC) and your glyph.
