ANVILS TO THE RIGHT OF ME! ANVILS TO THE LEFT OF ME!

Well. Okay, I liked this episode a little more than I thought I would. Perhaps it was the whole thinking-Masters-might-be-a-psychopath there at the end? Jesus Christ.

Parallels upon parallels until backwards reeled my brain.* Masters is House, I got it. The exposition from Masters' roommate was another clunky anvil, and I wonder how RSL felt explaining the entire backstory of House's leg and Stacy's decision just in order to give the viewers who haven't been watching for X number of years the connection between that story and Masters'. Long sentence is long.

The chickens were cute. Wilson vaulting the balcony wall was awesome. The dog was adorable, although I did flinch when it grabbed the (fake) chicken. And Jesse Spencer was wonderful.

Ferrets, heh.

ETA that here's an interesting video from this episode's writers, talking about Masters-as-House and the ending music.

Okay, must make dinner.

Interesting to think of Masters being House. I've heard that cynics are disillusioned idealists, was House once as idealistic as Masters? But his old bandmate Crandall said that House was always cynical.
