"Have you never seen Dawson's Creek?"

[adeline]

House was kind of weird this week.

I'll get it out of the way first and not come back to it: the writing was less than stellar and much of the dialog felt extremely forced. Bleh.

That said; House and Cuddy = excellent. :D

I really liked Cameron's storyline. Nice change, that. It seems odd that Wilson wouldn't even make an appearance, given the guy's CANCER and all, but, whatever. This is Cameron, after all. I'm glad she eventually acceded the guy's request, and I also appreciated that her husband was brought up again, I thought it fit nicely with the general theme of the episode.

Chase cracked me up when he advised House to keep the rape victim asleep.

The clinic = mad fun times! I hope we get to see a lot more of that. ♥

I thought it cute that Wilson would seek House out in the jogging park, in the middle of the day, and not even on a House-finding-and-dragging-back-to-work mission. Hee. Was there lecturing? I forget. I was distracted by RSL's cuteness. SO SUE ME.

The big reveal of House's abuse by his father? I'd figured as much. That's what reading spoilers will do for you. Nice bit of trivia with his Dutch grandmother, though. And hoping people will break legs, LMAO. "I'm evil." Heh. Yeah, you are.

Foosball game! :D

I'll watch it all again tonight, because for now, the main storyline and how much it sucked makes this a crappy episode with bright highlights here and there. :\


Now, I have some Heroes speculation! Nothing huge, just a screencap-supported assumption about Claire's biological father, that may or may not all be chalked up to sloppy continuity.

The promo for Distractions shows a man's forearm and hand, while the voice-over teases on Claire's father's identity. It may thus be safely assumed that the body parts shown belong to him. See them below:





Because of the pricey-looking watch and ring, it might be easily inferred the hand belongs to Nathan. So, of course, obsessive fan that I am, I had to go and have a look at Nathan's watch. Turns out, it's not the same as above! Lookit:


(n'aaaaawww, shouldn't he smile all the time?)

Of course, he could have several watches. So let's have a look at the ring! I have no screen cap here, but take my word for it, Nathan's wedding band is nowhere near as wide as Claire's alleged bio dad's is. He does have a bigger piece of jewelry, but he wears it on the other hand. (I wasn't kidding about the obsession.)

Temporary conclusion: Nathan Petrelli is not the man shown to be Claire's biological father in the preview for Distractions. The mystery stays whole.

Hee. Fandom is so fun.


- HRG:
(no match)
(no match)

- Matt Parkman:
(MATCH! O_O)
(Eeeeh...)

- Chandra Suresh:
(wtf, rite?)

- Ted the radioactive guy: wears neither ring nor watch.

- Sylar: ditto

I say Claire's dad is Lindeman, or a totally new character the show will throw our way.

NOOOO!

I thought about that too! I saw the watch and screamed out: OH NO! It's Nathan!

*cries* No! My Peter/Claire shippage dreams must come true sometime in the next..however many years.

I bet they did it to trick us, or maybe Lindeman is Claire's dad. Or..maybe Nathan. Psssh.

Someone (was it you?) speculated in my journal Ted might be the father of Claire, any chance you have caps of that too?

It's the subject title to this entry that caught my interest btw, where's it from ? ^_^

House's grandmother is Dutch? Woohoo (so am I). Too bad we're so behind with the show over here :(

[never-evil.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOO It's kinda sad but very logical. And I can't argue with screencaps now can I?

But yeah, thing is we're not even sure if The Hand is relavant.

But we do know that Claire's mother had her dad's number right?

If it ain't Nathan I'd rather it be HRG himself.

*awaits Ted & HRG screencaps*

I vote for Linderman. There's something suspicious that Claire's mother is recorded as dead and yet is still alive, and Claire herself is supposed to be dead and instead is alive with HRG for a dad.

Not to mention WHO exactly is HRG working for?

I seriously don't want her dad to be Nathan tho. That just screws up the Paire. Not to mention Nathan would have been about 22-ish? Wouldn't he either be in the army or in college somewhere other than Texas at the time Claire was born?

Obviously we can't really take the Haitian's word for it cause he's just reciting what HRG told him. So, in which case, I would not be surprised if it was HRG himself. That would be a nice circle and give us a perfect loop. From what we know the father hasn't been on the scene at all, and the only mentions of a male in that period of time was HRG's very presence at the mother's supposed death. It never occured to me to be him, but looking at your screencap with the business shirt, it's likely.

Again, I've still got my money on Linderman. But you've made an awesome point with Matt, and as I said to Parul that'd be an interesting situation for him to find out about 2 kids at the same time. Is it likely for him to be wearing a business shirt though? :\ And you know either Claire's daddy has a MASSIVE ring, or a bunch of them piled onto that finger. Being that everybody is only wearing one I'm still wondering what's going on. But, u know, I also wonder if they are trying to mislead us because maybe it's possible that footage has nothing to do with that phone call (and they just wanted to sit back and laugh at us speculating).

I was gonna do exactly what you did, so I'm glad you did it for me :). I agree with the ring that it doesn't match Nathan's. But in this promo pic (http://pics.livejournal.com/limmenel/pic/000da43c), the watches do look very similar!
