Megan Fox is definitely going to strangle a mountain ox.

Wha? I don't get it!

Also, wanted to point out that we got through the whole episode with nobody spitting up blood! That's like getting through South Park w/o Kenny dying! :D

On the last shot of 13, was anyone else expecting Foreman to show up behind her? Seemed like the last scene he was going to make a move to prove he wasnt boring.

Funny you should mention that...I was thinking the same thing.

Funny you should mention that...I was thinking the same thing.

Well... stay tuned. A little birdie told me you might see something like this later in the season (actually I think it was Entertainment Weekly magazine).

And like House said regarding 13 and her friend, plus the medical mystery, [something to this effect] "Like a Penthouse Forum..."

This was an awesome episode!

I wanted so much 13 they granted my wish (and House's)...

Well my next wish was an all-cuddy episode which is coming next week! can't wait..

It was ok. I was a little disappointed that they did the whole fired thing and gave her job back by not really doing much out of the ordinary. Honestly, I thought the whole destruction plot would be more interesting.

The best parts were with Chase. Kutner was invisible for much of the episode. He had more lines in Superman Returns I think. :D

Megan Fox (not a fan) would of been a funny joke to be the patient this episode.

Meh.

If that's the best they can do with 13 and her back-story/prelude to the future, then I say forget the disease timeframe and kill her off right now. I've been more turned on and intrigued watching grass grow. And they said Foreman was boring. :rolleyes:

13 and her new counterparts are nothing more than a vacuous hole devoid of any real substance. In that vein, I suppose it makes sense that they're portraying her as nothing more than a vacuous "hoe" devoid of anything but scarfing down "substances." :confused:

Kumar's silly attempt at conjuring a "Housism" was ludicrous. :mad:

As to MegAnjolina Fox, that silly, unintelligible skank is as pellucid as the plot this week. :( :( :(

My new favorite quote of all times "Another life saved by girl on gril action"

And like House said regarding 13 and her friend, plus the medical mystery, [something to this effect] "Like a Penthouse Forum..."It was, "Penthouse Forum meets medical mystery. Maybe there is a god."

My new favorite quote of all times "Another life saved by girl on gril action"

"Girl on girl action."

"Girl on gril" action would be an entirely different program. :D :D

I thought the highlight of the episode was when House refered to the patient as "13's carpet cleaner"

Has 13 ever been happy "even a little" in any part of any episode? She is always so freaking pissed.

"Girl on girl action."

"Girl on gril" action would be an entirely different program. :D :D

I'd pay to see 13 cooked up on a gril (sic)...live of course. :)

House would likely call her "finger food" after that. :D

Pretty good episode. Really like the private investigator. I also liked that Wilson knew what was going on and planned everything.

I just really hate how Chase can perform all kinds of surgery. He does everything. One episode he did brian surgery, then heart surgery, then lung surgery, then stomach/intestine surgery. No doctor does all that, especially the brain surgery. They use him to much.

It still feels like they have Foreman in scenes just because they had to contractual. A lot of his scenes just seem a waste of his talents. They need to give him a larger role or just move on.

LMAO mispelling "gril" got this started? although it was more funnly than "girl"

House was dissapointed at the end, he wanted to father Cuddy's child so bad..

I thought the highlight of the episode was when House refered to the patient as "13's carpet cleaner"

Has 13 ever been happy "even a little" in any part of any episode? She is always so freaking pissed...and 13 as the carpet.

This episode made me very happy.:)

No House Tuesday?

No there is a new episode according to wikipedia. However new eps will return November 11th.

No House Tuesday?

What makes you believe that there isn't a new House Tueday?

OK, that makes sense. I do not watch baseball, so I had no idea. The OP provided no extra detail, so I had to ask.

Thanks to Election Day, that means two weeks without House now. Bummer.

That may be so, but Fox hasn't changed their website yet. Maybe they think its going to rain tonight too. :)

They should move baseball for House ;)

yeah i know. i need my house fix. :(

From the look of the Philly radar, it doesn't look like House is going to be moved tonight. Rain, Freezing Rain, Snow and it doesn't look to be moving away at all -- it would be a miserable night to play Baseball.

NO GAME TONIGHT!!!!

Hopefully we get out Phill of House!!

faceoff

PHILADELPHIA - Game Five of the 2008 World Series will not resume tonight due to inclement weather. Game Five is now tentatively scheduled to resume on Wednesday evening at 8:37 p.m. (ET), weather permitting.

Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig said: "While obviously we want to finish Game Five as soon as possible, the forecast for today does not allow for us to continue the game this evening. We are closely monitoring tomorrow's forecast and will continue to monitor the weather on an hourly basis. We will advise fans as soon as we are able to make any final decisions with respect to tomorrow's schedule."

Yeah, I just looked at the forecast via a link from ESPN. Rain is predicted until 1:00 am, with the temperature getting down to 30 degrees. That's not propitious for baseball, to say the least.

What a bunch of candy-asses. I say play the game...no matter what. Get the damn thing over with so that we can move on to real sports played by real men, not little girls that don't want to get their clothes dirty or their hair wet.

What a bunch of candy-asses. I say play the game...no matter what. Get the damn thing over with
I agree. I sure wish they woulda canceled the game I played in high school when it was snowing.

But it's their own damn fault for playing so late into the year.

So are we getting a new House tonight?

Really? Fox now gets 2 nights for game 5. That trumps whatever House would get in the ratings. I highly doubt House even played into the equation with MLB.

DVR set. Don't forget to pad the recording an extra minute or two at the end.

Well, last night during the 8:00 hour, the World Series drew a 5.4/8. Last Tuesday, House drew a 7.7/11.

Baseball is not a ratings draw. That's why Fox dumped most of the playoffs to TBS.

I'm sure even some diehard baseball fans won't mind some girl on girl action (even though the series wasn't on last Tuesday). ;)

Sure, but the ratings go up after each hour (due to it being so early on the west coast). You can't compare a live event the same way as a show like House that is shown in primetime in different time zones. Plus, the demographic for baseball makes them easy to target in brings in more in advertising dollars. Either way, I don't think Fox has as much say so in this as some would seem to think.

There always seems to be a few episodes each season where House behaves so ridiculously over-the-top that it really sours me on the whole series. Tonight was one of those episodes.

Good episode....though I did see the end coming (the mom thing, not the House thing with Cuddy).

Anything happen or said after/while they kissed? FOX has this annoying habit of running their 8PM shows longer than the guide info they supply indicates it should, so unless I record the following program, I always miss the last 1 min or so.

Speaking of which, why are they already airing reruns of Fringe?

Okay episode. Not sure what was up with all the weird close ups they were doing and the picture quality looked worse for some reason. Other then that, good episode, nothing incredible.

Looks like Chase can now add to his growing list of surgery expertise - pregnancy surgery/infant removal. Wow, he is like the only surgeon ever who can do every surgery in the world. Such talent.

Would that be similar to a C-section? ;) I thought it was a decent episode, but the weird camera thing was annoying.

I was wondering the same thing? Anyone? Saw them really getting into the kiss then BAM!! end of recording.

Not as good of an episode compared to the last few...

Why was House being such a jerk to Cutty about the kid? I don't get it...is it because he believes the mother should be responsible? Or because he secretly wants to have a kid with her?

I think maybe he secretly (not so secretly anymore) wants her but knows he would be a bad father (or step father). Typical that his jerky-attitude has a hidden nobility to it.

That would be my guess. Cutty is the only woman that House even remotely respects.

Also, didn't we find out in an earlier episode that Cutty and House use to date?

Who was the Director? I would of thought I was watching 24 with all the shaky cameras and dialog between characters through rear view mirrors. :( and what was up with all the portrait camera angles on characters? I understand the father and daughter but cutty was shown in the same way at the end of the episode?

With a little research, (thanks wiki) i found that the episode was directed by Deran Sarafian who also directed multiple House episodes. So I have no idea why the complete change in direction in the style of how the show is shot.

The baby storyline was very predictable, but the episode was saved by the ending.

also after the kiss, House says goodnight I think? and cuddy says goodnight and walks out of frame. The end. I add 5 mins onto my recordings thanks to Tuesday being so slow for TV.

Excellent episode, although the baby thing was predictable, was mostly Cuddy's fault, she should not talk that much wit the mother or even meantion it to her, and didn't the mother signed anything to give up the baby?

The kiss was good, but I thought House was going to spend the night with Cuddy, maybe next time...

I don't think they sign the paper work until after the baby is born.

As already mentioned, House was being a jackass last night. I was getting pretty tired of the scenes with him and Cuddy.

The mood of the cameras kept changing last night which was really weird. I can understand the blandness of the house they were in, but even outside and in the hospital the color would change from one scene to the next. I coulda sworn I thought I saw a couple of scenes where it went from light to dark from the middle to the edges of the screen, almost like a camera would do.

The kissing scene at the end was one of the worst ones I have ever seen. There really didn't seem to be any passion to it.

I thought the line for the next episode "I hit it last night and now she is all up on my jock" is awesome!!!

so unless I record the following program, I always miss the last 1 min or so.

how about adding 5 minutes to the House recording?

...snip...

I think I would have preferred a cliff hanger where we don't know if House spent the night or not.

Then in a later episode, Cutty thinks she's pregnant, or maybe just tells House that she might be. That could be a lot of fun. Then throw in that she doesn't know if its Wilson's or House's.

With all the changes in cast as well as the personal stories being included with each episode, do you think the show is "jumping the shark"?

I'm glad that others noticed the strange picture quality last night. I was actually worried that something was wrong with my projector.

I didn't care for this episode. There were several things that I didn't like about it, but the worst part to me, that I could not get over, was how ridiculous it was that Cuddy was actually giving medical advice to the pregnant mother whose baby she was going to adapt!

No conflict of interest there at all. :rolleyes:

Then scenes like House throwing baby vomit on Cuddy just didn't work on any level.

The story with the father and daughter who were sleep-walking was not interesting at all. I never really cared whether they found out what was wrong with them.

Hopefully next weeks episode will be better.

There always seems to be a few episodes each season where House behaves so ridiculously over-the-top that it really sours me on the whole series. Tonight was one of those episodes.

Agreed. I don't want House to be a nice guy mind you but the last few episodes seem a bit farcical with just how mean he has been being to everyone.

I did like the scene where House goes into see Wilson and Wilson blurts out "It's not Cancer" before House says anything.

Anything happen or said after/while they kissed? FOX has this annoying habit of running their 8PM shows longer than the guide info they supply indicates it should, so unless I record the following program, I always miss the last 1 min or so.
You didn't miss anything significant. They broke the clinch and looked uncomfortable, following which House said, "I'd better go," Cuddy agreed and he left. The only reason I get to see the end of truncated House episodes is that I also DVR Fringe, which follows House.

how about adding 5 minutes to the House recording?
That cuts into the following recording on another channel. I don't usually have the problem when I record both FOX shows on a given night, Fringe was a repeat so it didn't record and hence, I missed the end of FOX.

I don't care if they run the show longer, just indicate it in the guide and the DVR and/or myself can make the adjustment. It's when it's listed as running from 8:00 to 9:00, and it actually runs to 9:01 or 9:02 is what annoys me. This has been happening since the beginning of the season and I was hoping it would be corrected, but no such luck. I guess I'll just have to make a manual adjustment to FOX shows now because they are so sloppy with their guide data.

It happens with Bones as well.

Thanks.

So it happens to you as well? When recording 2 shows in a row on FOX, and say I want to watch the 8pm show, then something else from another network after that before watching the FOX 9pm show, I have to go to the 9pm FOX show, start the playback, watch the last minute of the 8pm show, stop the playback, then watch what I wanted to watch from the other network. It's ridiculous and extremely sloppy on FOX's part.

Thanks.

The only reason I got the end of House on my TiVo S3 last night was that my Season Passes default to First Run and Repeats and I hadn't yet got around to changing it to First Run Only for the Fringe Season Pass. Thank God for small favors! :) Fox REALLY needs to get its act together.

...Cuddy was actually giving medical advice to the pregnant mother whose baby she was going to adapt....

I know they keep getting them sooner and sooner, but isn't 3 minutes old a bit young for breast augmentation? :eek:

I missed the end of the first House this season here as well. Since I was sampling The Mentalist and Fringe at the time, I went ahead and added an hour to the end of the House recording to capture Fringe. That way, I only use one tuner and get all of both shows.

The only problem was one week I watched House and, forgetting about Fringe being on the same recording, deleted it the next day. Other than that, it's worked well in dealing with this annoying and unnecessary issue.

I guess I'll do something like that, I was being lazy and hoping that a billion dollar corporation would finally get around to getting their clocks set right - silly me.

Don't know if any of you are using DirecTV DVRs, but the latest firmware release 290 for my HR20-700 and HR20-100 does an auto 30 second pad at the beginning and a 90 second pad at the end of shows. It is transparent to the user, but it saves me from having to remember to fiddle with the start and end times of shows.

I guess I'll do something like that, I was being lazy and hoping that a billion dollar corporation would finally get around to getting their clocks set right - silly me.

Fox knows EXACTLY what they are doing. The run overs are planned for several reasons. One they stop you from being able to record shows on other networks or cause you to miss the beginning of other shows. Its a direct ploy to try and beat DVRs. CBS is horrible about doing this on Thursday nights with CSI. Always ends at 10:01 which causes a conflict with any show I'm trying to record on another channel that starts at 10. It works really well for Fox with House because Fringe is already shown with limited commercials so they can run House long and not have to cut any of Fringe.

Two they are trying to get you to watch their other shows. They have you hooked for one show, so they run it over into another show slot and force you to record part of the other show. They hope that after you watch the end of the show you wanted to see you'll stick around and watch the other show you had to record to get the end of the show you wanted. Furthermore, when you miss the end of the show, then it forces you to go online to their website to watch the end of the show where they can bombard you with more ads. There is a reason they continue to stay a billion dollar corporation....

I'm not so sure about that as it's an extremely sloppy way of doing it. Other nets will run shows over but it's indicated in the guide data they send to Tribune Media, they all do it.

All FOX is doing with their method is disenfranchising viewers. If they are doing it on purpose, they are completely ignoring the proliferation of DVRs, and in my opinion, it's a mean-spirited way of trying to retain viewers for the following show. Eventually viewers will get tired of missing possibly important scenes and say the hell with FOX programming. Or, watch it online and/or download it illegally from the net, which I have done on occasion just to find out what happened in the last minute.

I'm not convinced it's on purpose, I still think it's just sloppiness on the part of FOX.

The father/daughter's illness was kind of bland. I did like however, when this episode got self referential when Wilson in essence, pointed out the usual plot device used in almost every episode, where someone will say something supposedly irrelevant but will give House a clue as to the illness to cure. That for me was excellent.

Even though the pregnant girl was a drug addict, the "I want to keep my baby" thing was a bit obvious, even though the previews from last week were to make us believe that the baby might not survive.

It's quite humorous that the phrase "all up on my jock" is being used because it's a bit old in the hip hop world where I first heard it in the early 90's. Maybe House will bring it back in to fashion.

Or maybe he will kill it off entirely, along with all the other overused, ridiculous, and assinine sayings that the hip-hop/rap world has bludgeoned society with repeatedly in recent history.

I did like the scene where House goes into see Wilson and Wilson blurts out "It's not Cancer" before House says anything.

My favorite part was the end of that segment, where Wilson says "I just gave you the answer, didn't I? And you're going to walk out of here without saying a word" as House does exactly that.

Yeah, he says real loud "nope". I loved that moment. House is so freaking cool.

This Wednesday and next there are episodes of House from earilier this season scheduled to air at 9:00 PM (PST). Since I don't trust guide data enough to use "First Run Only" and House is one of my top priority Season Pass requests, they were preempting new episodes of other things in that time slot on my TiVo. Beware.

As if I didn't have enough grief with the move of Life from Friday, forcing me to choose between Criminal Minds and Private Practice in that same slot :rolleyes:.

Yeah, I kept my other DVR, which I rent from Cox OKC, even after i bought my TiVo Series3 a couple of years ago. Now I can record 4 shows at a time, although I can't recall ever using all 4 tuners at once.

I know this is posted elsewhere in the TV news forum, but House is moving to Monday night at 8 starting in January.

Yeah, I am bummed. Monday's is crowded enough on the DVR. Great, gotta figure out my taping/watching schedule now.

Out with the new and in with the old? It looks like the old team is maybe back as they got much air time last night.

I was amazed. Chase and Cameron were more than just walk ons last night. It was nice. I really like Cameron as a blonde.

"Whats wrong with you, you're just going to walk out without a fight?"

"No I'm just ignoring her, go back to his house...."

That was a great exchange between House and Cameron...

Good episode last night...it was kind of weird that they were all living at that dude's house though...coming and going as they pleased....

House: "Hey, speaking of breathing hard, Cameron, you engaged to Chase yet?"

Out with the new and in with the old? It looks like the old team is maybe back as they got much air time last night.

It's inevitable as far as I am concerned. The fact of the matter is that they are still all listed as the main actors. I expect them to (finally) start taking a much larger role.

I liked this episode a lot, and I think much of that did have to do with the fact that Chase and Cameron played such big parts.

House: "Foreman, listen to that little voice in your head....that's coming from the telephone"! :D

When House said, "The Camster and the Formster...kickin' it old school," it really made me realize how far this show has gone off the path of greatness with the new team. This may have been the best episode this year...if only in the fact that Kumar didn't don his "I soooooo wanna be like House" cape or have a single, magical, out-of-the-blue epiphany that saved the day. :)

I agree about missing the old crew, this episode really drove that home. This new crew is like a low-bitrate .mp3 copy of the original. I want to see that lossless quality back in action full time.

Nice way of putting it, and I couldn't agree more.

The old team was great in its day (better than the new team) but their time has past and it's time for them to be put out to pasture. If this show doesn't evolve in the way it is doing now it will go down hill rather badly and quickly in my opinion.

House needs minions to be House and the old team are no longer his minions.

Although it sounds like I'm in the minority.

The relationship between Cameron and Chase is nothing new. Despite that, I found that part of the story much more interesting than the majority of relationships of the new characters (or revelations about their character).

I still say that the most interesting thing to do (if we absolutely MUST keep the new losers) is to have Forman lead a team, with himself, Cameron, and Chase competing directly with House's cowering lap dogs.

Count me in as someone else who liked the episode "kickin' it old school."

And Wilson had some nice moments as well, but it would be nice if he was actually given chance to be a doctor for more than 30 seconds in one episode.

Although every time I saw Cameron and Chase having their moments I was trying to remember if they were still dating in real life. I think there were rumors in the second/third season that they broke up badly and the writers tried to minimize onscreen appearances together.

I sooo agree. When I see the old crew being forced onto the screen I just moan. Especially when it is like Foreman who just says a couple lines. They need to break the tie and move on.

This was my least favorite episode of the year. And I do not want House to date Cuddy. I would like to see more of the PI.

The only information I've ever found on the net has been from 2007 when the break-up occurred. TV Guide still described them as "good friends" at that point.

Well, last night certainly seemed to move forward the theory that Foreman will create his own team. Decent episode, and I liked what House did (making him responsible for the case so that he could see what it meant to be in charge).

I liked when Foreman had his "House moment", suddenly realizing that the cause of the young boy's illness was iron poisoning.

How soon do you think it will be, when the patient does a "House" moment? :p

I was also thinking there should be a House drinking game, by now as well. You know- where you have to take a drink when you see a House moment, somebody passes-out, bloody vomit, bloodletting from other orifices, seizure scene, call for the crash cart, etc. ;)

every time the diagnosis isn't lupus...

I'd say every take a drink every time Kumar has an epiphany...but everyone would be so drunk 10 minutes in that they'd not only miss the rest of the show, they'd forget AVS ever existed...and maybe their own name as well.

That sounds like fun. I wonder if I would get as wasted playing that game versus Jack Bauer yelling dammit or really something else. Ooooh, add in the sound of the phones.

With Jack, the key could be "set up a perimeter". Last season, I nearly went postal with him saying it so much.

I liked the House/Wilson interaction on this last episode. Wilson did a nice job jerking House around for a change.

So we taking bets on when 17 will start showing signs of Huntington's?

Alternatively, how long will they drag out the storyline until House will have to fire her?

Do you mean 13?

Do you mean 13?

Does it even matter? :confused:

Regardless of what she's actually called on the show, we all know it really means "boring, peripheral, talentless actress whose character does nothing for the show whatsoever."

Or in other words, one step above Kumar.

We just need another episode where she's hooking up with another hot female and everyone will love her again...Cameron perhaps?

another hot female? When was the first?

I missed half of last weeks episode and I didn't know if he was talking about a patient/new character. I wasn't asking to be rude.

I was watching a rerun from last season and I kinda wished cutthroat bitch was still on the show.

Or in other words, one step above Kumar.She's way hot. That puts her many steps above most other people on TV.

She's way hot. That puts her many steps above most other people on TV.

That's definitely a matter of opinion.

I personally don't even find her to be attractive, much less "way hot".

Cameron on the other hand......:cool:

Do you mean 13?I meant 13, but I'm also beginning to tire of them hiring of the needless "hot" but overly young girl. She's far too young in real life to even make House's team, she even looks young. In real life last season she would have been 23, would that even have been out of residency yet, much less medical school?

At one time, I thought Cameron was on the verge of becoming very hot, but it seems in later seasons, she has become de-sexualized, imo. It's not pronounced, but it also looks as if she is juuuuust on the edge of falling into that whole Hollywood food-starved look.

You know who I've noticed lately- that chiggy on the Bones show! :D Especially on the looping commercial trailer for the show- mmmmhhh, mhhhh! Also that girl on the Prison Break show- trying to follow that Tiffany Amber Theissan look... Zowweee!!!

I feel like I'm dying a slow death over here, as though I'm the only man trapped in a boy's locker room, listening to "hawt girl this, and hot girl that" again and again and again. The Chuck thread, the House thread, the AI thread, it just keeps happening. If I want to look at FAR more gorgeous (and just as talentless) females, I have the internet or my local mall. Otherwise, I wish they'd keep the disastrously one-dimensional, so-called "eye candy" out of my favorite shows and focus on a quality script and acting. :(

another hot female? When was the first?
I think that's way too harsh. Although I agree that neither 13 nor Cameron is anything extra, I believe that Cuddy is, indeed, "way hot." I recognize, though that viewers who are years younger than Lisa Edelstein's Cuddy, and way younger than I, might disagree. Cuddy is certainly not conventionally beautiful but she has a body for the ages and exudes sexuality.

That was absolutely hilarious, and unfortunately, fairly accurate for the most part. As much as I love this show, I think it has a limited life span as at times it is getting a little boring watching the same thing over and over again.

Darn, now why did I think of that (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=11762409#post11762409)?

It's still one of the best shows on TV....and will be even better if/when they sack the new team entirely (I know opinions differ on this).

its a damn shame...she should die it back to brunette because the blonde just doesn't work on her

Like hell it doesn't!

I never really found Cameron as over-the-top appealing, either as a brunette or a blonde. I have noticed, however, that the past 2 seasons she (or her character, rather) has appeared less "done-up" and more natural-looking, with less makeup or form-fitting clothing.

However, I do recall the episode where Cameron went on the sex/drug spree where she boinked Chase and remember thinking she had a definite erotic potential within. In contrast, the supposedly "hot" lesbian scene with 13 (out of 100) couldn't have possibly conjured up less excitement. The flaccidity factor was comparable to watching The View. :(

On the other hand, the ultra-sexy stripper scene with Cuddy is absolutely unforgettable! :)

"Uh, honey? Could you rewind that? I didn't hear what House just said."

"Nope, still didn't get quite get it."

"Hmmm. Maybe just one more time."

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the words. Again, please." :D

You realize that Jennifer Morrison is a blonde, right? That she dyed her hair brown in the beginning of the show?I recall reading an interview where she said that the current dye job is actually a couple shades lighter than her natural color.

Personally I don't think that it either detracts or adds to her looks. I think that Cuddy is by far the most appealing female regular on the show. Could be an age thing--I'm old enough to be the father of either of the other two.

Worth repeating due to recent conversation.*

*Worth repeating anyway! :D

Does anyone remember that Lisa Edelstein had a small multi-episode part on Ally McBeal, and had her some "male parts"?

That was the best damn episode this season...

So many great one-liners...a true House Classic episode...and the whole cast was in it...

The end had me dying laughing

Are you kidding me? That was completely lame. There were a million times anyone would have jumped him for the gun. The guy could barely function.

Yes, because House is the epitome of realism...

It's not. But that episode just wasn't that good. *shrug* We are all entitled to our opinions ;)

I thought it was a refreshing change of pace from the House formula. :) Can't do that every week, of course, but nicely done for a one-off, imo.

"Either she's not here, or she is under the desk."

LOL!

Exactly, I really enjoyed the fact that this episode didn't stick to the formula. No epiphany at the end either!

I thought this was a very good episode. One of the best of the season.

You guys are going to make me watch it off the Tivo at 1:20 a.m......maybe not. lol

It was an absolutely ridiculous episode. How many times in his life is House going to have a gun pointed at him?

Also remember Lisa played Rob Lowe's "go to" call girl in the first season of West Wing

WTG Olivia Wilde... finally got out of the robot face role..

House to kidnapper holding hostages with a gun: "You idiot!"

I had high hopes for this episode. It would be a change from the same old thing during House. It did and it didnt.

The major problem was 13. Olivia Wilde is a fine actress. But this character is lame. We all knew she would not die and would have a new love of life now. In a word lame. The only good thing that I saw come from the episode is that Chase complete indifference to House's game may come up BIG in a future story arch.

A very cool idea for an episode but they could have done alot more. The only way this ending works is if 13 stayed fired in that episode a few weeks back and just happened to be begging for her job back because she had her own epiphany that she needed her job.

The endings I would have preferred:

-- 13 dies. 1 down 2 to go. :p Or in some way cannot be a doctor anymore.

-- IMHO the better way would have been the scene where the guy breathes for House, the cure does not work and House is so over come with frustration and the need to know what is wrong with the guy that he takes him hostage in order to find out. Ending the episode with House being put into a squad car would make you make sure you saw next weeks episode. But then again doing diagnosis from prison may not be that great for TV. It would be unexpected and complicate legal matters in future episodes, but it certainly would not be as cookie cutter of ending as last nights was.

So much potential, yet such a failure to execute it.

IWe all knew she would not die and would have a new love of life now.No, we didn't know that. They easily could have let 13 die. She's not even in the main credits, is she?

It was an absolutely ridiculous episode. How many times in his life is House going to have a gun pointed at him?

My thoughts exactly. I deleted it off of the DVR immediately. They really need to trim down the team. Either keep the old team, or let them be whatever they need to be doing offscreen and just focus on developing the new team. At this point in time I couldn't care less if anyone on the new team lived or died.:rolleyes:

I hope next weeks new episode is much better.

No, we didn't know that. They easily could have let 13 die. She's not even in the main credits, is she?

It's TV 101. ;) Characters don't die unless they have a red shirt on and it's Star Trek. For the same reason there is no worry about Jack Bauer dying on 24, 13 was not going to die. Thats what made Amber dying such compelling television. It was unexpected and wonderfully done. We loved to hate her. Same for Warrick on CSI.

We have no emotional involvement with 13. She has been around for less than one full season. And when the producers have tried to give her a back story, they instead made her really unlikeable. By making it so obvious that she is recklessly throwing away her life, I knew (and I am sure I am not the only one) that she would be okay and have a new out look on life. Very cookie cutter and very predictable.

Although I did like how they are running the House-Cuddy relationship.

I may be late to this party but Im calling it now: Foreman and Thirteen are going to hook up at some point.

I agree that The Gunman Takes House Hostage plot was silly beyond belief. What the hell, though. House has about as much to do with medicine as Boston Legal does with the law. Almost every aspect of House is so wildly improbable, I can't take the problems with the gunman plot very seriously, especially when the gunman is Zeljko Ivanek, winner of both an Emmy and a Tony. I enjoyed the episode, despite myself. :)

What should have happened:

13 takes the drug and croaks.
(True fans applaud with enthusiasm.)

Taub comes in unannounced and the gunman shoots him.
(The audience cheers with delight.)

Kumar comes in, gets a gun pointed at him, wets his pants, and is told to leave out of pity. He runs like a little girl, not only out of the room, but away from the entire hospital, never to return. We cut to him looking deep in thought and talking into a microphone:

"Hmmm. You could have an iron deficiency or maybe even gastrocitosis. Eating meat will cure that. Or, it could be bovine-aversion syndrome. Or, maybe..."

[Camera pulls back and we see a Whitecastle drive-thru.]

Dougie Howser pulls up and says, "All I wanted was a salad, not a damn epiphany from some two-bit hack!" and shoots Kumar in the head through the window.
(A roar of glee is heard 'round the world.)

Roll credits.

Best...House...EVER! :)

For the same reason there is no worry about Jack Bauer dying on 24, 13 was not going to die.House is to House as Jack Bauer is to 24; I agree that House wasn't going to die. 13 isn't the main character...

But we certainly wouldn't expect 13 to die, but that's why she could. I'm glad she didn't---I like both the actress and the character, but she could have.

Who is hotter? 13 or Cameron?

What really is quite sad is that when they mentioned Dr. Hadley on the show last night and a few posters mentioned Dr. Hadley, I had no idea that people were referring to 13.

Dr. Hadley even told us her first name, which I don't remember right now! because 13 is the only thing I can think of when she's on screen.. I don't think her nickname will go away any time soon..

you are correct. my analogy for 24 was flawed. The CSI worked much better. I guess my point remains that the only way to make this episode great is to make it unexpected, whether that means killing 13 or making House a hostage taker. (or spyder's epically awesome ending with a twist!) :D

My TiVo screwed me--it was jammed and I didn't notice it. By the time I rebooted it, half of House was over. Then it choose to dump Fringe because it's 9:08-10:08 time overlapped two other things, one of which I didn't care nearly as much about :rolleyes:. I got the last 49 minutes of it.

I can watch the beginning of Fringe on Hulu today, but episodes of House aren't available for 8 days after airing.

:p

I'll never understand why people who apparently hate the show so much continue to watch it.

Meanwhile I'll enjoy 13, Taub and Kutner - really they're no more annoying than Chase, Cameron and Foreman playing their normal cardboard selves.

Finally, one of the best lines of the show was when House answered the phone "crime scene."

We also got to see just how anorexic Olivia Wilde actually is.

Also, I thought a Foreman/13 hookup was already mentioned as something that was coming by one of the showrunners…

While it was yet another hostage scenario I enjoyed it purely because it broke the medical mystery formula of the week. But the House/Wilson formula I think should be in every episode and it wasn't last night so that was disappointing.

And it did lapse into the old "You've developed symptom W so it must be disease X. Hmm, that didn't work but you've now got symptom Y so it must be disease Z." Repeat until cured.

13 fills out a pair of jeans nicely.

i watch more for the medical mysteries then the drama, if you want drama watch a soap opera like Dr. house does.

Attracted to someone that doesn't have personality of a morbid, suicidal, two-bit hooker?

13 (the character, not the actress) is about as appealing as getting a vasectomy performed by Freddy Kreuger without any anethesia. :(

I'm more interested in Wilsons dead GF, then 13. :eek:

Cutty and Taub were also in "As Good As It Gets". They were both sitting at Jack's table when he wanted to eat breakfast and have Helen Hunt wait on him.

"Planning on breaking out"

Wilson cracks me up...great episode

Lisa Edelstein was very impressive tonight. In every way I can even imagine. But esp facial expressions, excellent acting. Actually, Laurie was too. Guess I pay closer attention to Edelstein. ;)

Much better episode than last weeks. But I want to see more of the PI and I don't want Cuddy and House getting together.

I was surprised to see the breast grope on network television.

Is there some way for House to speed up Huntington's and save the show? :confused:

13 needs to die almost as bad as Denny on Grey's Anatomy.* Her "story" is more worn-out and stale than the whole "Angelina stole Brad form Jen" BS I'm barraged with every time I'm at the checkout. :(

*Oh, wait! Denny did "die" already! :eek:

At least 13 is a heck of a lot more interesting than Cameron ever was. Just get rid of the useless old cast and move on already.

I thought it was a good episode in that 13 had to make a quick decision to live or die and chose life. Her former behavior proved otherwise, but when you can be dead in a matter of seconds instead of years, it all changed. Good episode.

At least 13 is a heck of a lot more interesting than Cameron ever was. Just get rid of the useless old cast and move on already.

Reading the above, it's evident why Americans cross the border to get drugs from Canada. :eek:

I agree. I'm rather indifferent about who stays and who goes. I just want House to solve the puzzles and Wilson to be in every episode. I'd alos like to see more of the PI.

'...before the shrieking harpy melts my brain.'

I don't know of House and Cuddy together is a good thing for the show, but I do love the playground courtship going on. It's hilarious watching the two of them run around pulling each other's hair and pushing one another.

I still don't know why Cuddy walked off when she saw House chatting with the girl.. she just coulda storm the office and go kiss House.. mmm Oh well stretching it until end of season I guess...

I was laughing quite a bit when the girl "revived", I need an animated gif of that scene, really...

Too bad, neither of your desires is going to happen.

Dr. Remy Hadley

... the beauty of this, IMO is that the audience (like the cast) find it expedient to go along with the whims of House, no matter how absurd they seem to be at the time.

The force of his character's personality coupled with his unique abilities seems to raise him above the constraints of normal social etiquette. Thus Dr. Hadley, becomes "13" beautiful bisexual drug user feminist who just "happens" to have a keen problem solving mind.

I don't know of House and Cuddy together is a good thing for the show, but I do love the playground courtship going on. It's hilarious watching the two of them run around pulling each other's hair and pushing one another.

I like the almost ambivalent nature to the House/Cuddy relationship ... with that said though, I think that getting them together would be a very tricky thing for show and possibly a bad mistake.

Case in point, the old detective series Remington Steele, similar attractive frission between the two lead characters which enhanced the show, only to have it tank after the two of them got together ... of course other factors may have caused the shows demise, but viewer consensus that I have read since seems to support this event as a major contributer.

... or perhaps Bond and Moneypenny (sp)

... the beauty of this, IMO is that the audience (like the cast) find it expedient to go along with the whims of House, no matter how absurd they seem to be at the time.

During the "Survivor" contest, she wanted to only be known as 13. Everyone called her 13 for the half a season or however long the contest went on. Everyone on the show has referred to her as 13 at the end of season 4 when she started referring to herself as Dr. Hadley.

I don't think the audience is at fault for referring to her as 13 when that's all we've been given for so long.

When a character is this forgettable and tiresome, she's lucky to have any "name" at all. :confused:

What! No comment on tonight's show?

All that was missing was Tootie and Mrs. Garrett. I felt like humming the theme to "Facts of Life", but with a darker edge. They even named the heavy girl Natalie and had a Blair look a like.

Loved the fact that Cuddy finally got to have an "Uh huh" moment, I believe it's her first. Can't say I like the ending, almost too pat.

All I can say is go Foreman (sp?). 13 is definitely a looker. Her personality however leaves a lot to be desired.

Pretty lame episode. House put little effort into solving his case. It felt like an awkward attempt to let Cuddy have a larger role this week.

Her personality however leaves a lot to be desired.I was thinking the same thing about him. I don't see what she sees in him...

barely recognized Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn

The patient's mom, huh? I thought it looked like her, but she was much skinnier than I thought Sherilyn would be at this point.

Finally Cuddy will be adopting, I thought the parents of the girl would keep the baby, but hey if it helps Cuddy.. too bad this is freezing Huddy relationship right now, you can see House's expression when he found out...

and "Fore13" was so predictable... Doctors shouldn't get involved with patients, or we have a Izzie/Denny story again...

Hugh laurie during the clinic scenes last night were terrific. The look he had when the patient demonstrated how she uses her inhaler was just tv gold.

I thought it was... just ok. I thought last year's Christmas was better with the Secret Santa stuff. I also wonder HOW the baby would have survived. Seemed like a serious stretch.

Wow. Age has not been kind to Lori Petty. :eek: She did a good job as Janice though.

Instead of "Get over it," they should have written that Forman told her, "There's no crying in clinical trials." :)

yeah, I just watched her in an episode of masters of horror(one fo the good episodes). She still has looks but I think she's really become a better actress though. She almost made tank girl watchable.

Yes, you're right. Foreman is quite a bore as well.

Patient: "Can you get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat."
House: "Yes, if there is another person sitting between you and the toilet."

Just paraphrasing here, but this had me cracking up.:D

I agree. I don't think its the audience at fault, but rather a consequence of House's Idiosyncrasies.

Under any other (normal) doctor, "13" would have been addressed as Dr. Hadley from the beginning.

House: "Yes, if there is another person sitting between you and the toilet."

I thought that hilarious as well, although I found the pregnant woman's inquiries ... odd.

Was she supposed to be that - innocent/naive/slow ...

...or did she believe that the doctors would be that - innocent/naive/slow ...

... or just sloppy script?

Same slowness as the patient applying her inhaler as if it was a perfume.. LOL

a mix of denial and then when the boyfriend was there just silently hinting that she really needs to stay with her fiancee and could really use a mulligan from house.

BTW: Laurie is hosting SNL this weekend...

yeah he's the first host in years that makes me want to tune in....I'll probably just download it so I can fast forward. If it's even half as funny as "a bit of fry and laurie" it will be worth watching.

Time hasn't really been nice to the Twin Peaks girls with the exception of Madchen Amick, she still looks smokin' hot IMO, Lara Flynn Boyle OTOH, is freakish looking. Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee(Laura Palmer) are looking "okay", Sheryl Lee has had a recurring role on Dirty Sexy Money.

Same here. Have the DVR set.

I'm hoping for a House parody where a patient comes in with a mysterious illness, he and his staff try all sorts of off the wall treatments that don't work, then he hears or sees something that makes him have a "eureka" moment and in the last few minutes of the sketch give the right diagnosis and applies the correct cure. Could be hilarious.

Oh, wait a minute.....:)

I rather the rest of the cast **** off and then bring in stephen fry, rowan atkinson and tony robinson and they just do their own stuff for an hour and a half.

Coming up with the right diagnostic:

House 120, Cuddy 1...

Coming up with the right diagnostic:

House 120, Cuddy 1...

Of course on the flip side, incorrect diagnostic House 942, Cuddy 40.

You know... that idea is so good that SNL would never think of doing it!

I'm not as big a Fry fan... but then I haven't seen as much of him either.... but that would be quite a thing. I remember in the olden days they had a few members of Monty Python show up for skits and those were good... if they threw a bunch of good Brits in there it'd have to be better than the drek most weeks.

I'll admit, I'm actually considering watching... It'll either be funny with Laurie OR I'll be sad watching him squirm from the torment.

and "Fore13" was so predictable...

When they shared a look about 2-3 episodes back it was inevitable that this would happen. A long shot but I would venture to say that there will be some sort of tragic end to their relationship. Her Huntington's will progress faster than usual and she'll be dead soon.

As a reminder to 13 fans posting here, watch the movie "Alpha Dog" if you haven't seen it already.

He's been on SNL before and while he was fine the show had the now usual standard of writing, so you can imagine how it went.

Watching Conan when Hugh Laurie was a guest the other night reminded me just how good Laurie is on House. House is so different to Hugh Laurie's natural comedic personality that it's hard to comprehend sometimes.

Hugh Laurie has a whole host of facial tics, expressions, behaviours, movements and gestures that you can't see in House that you can when he's being himself or performing a comedy routine. It's not Laurie's fake accent that impresses me it's how much he can act not like himself. That's something he's almost never been able to do in nearly every role he's been cast in.

As for the episode. Meh.

Finally got around to watching this. Not a fan of this episode at all. I do not see any chemistry between Foreman and 13. The whole episode seemed to be all over the place with no real substance to it. Dissapointed.

That would be a Christmas gift that everyone could enjoy! Here's to hope. :)

That would be a Christmas gift that everyone could enjoy! Not me. I'd rather lose Kutner or Taub than 13. Rather Foreman than 13...

Not me. I'd rather lose Kutner or Taub than 13. Rather Foreman than 13...

Maybe 13 could sleep with Taub and give him AIDS since she's been known to really get around and he is a proven cheater. Kill two albatrosses with one bone and be done with the sob-story forever. Kill the tearleader, save the show! :D

You can't kill off Kumar because then we'd miss out on 382 epiphany moments per week. :eek:

Omar Epps is an outstanding actor and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Foreman character. :confused:

Taub's too smart to sleep with 13, he's sworn from head to toe to stick with his wife and him betraying her again wouldn't be worth the dramatic pay off.

Kill them all off and team House up with Blue the Janitor.

I'm hoping for an episode where coma man gets a speaking part. :)

Don't you mean Dr. Buffer?

I just started watching this show this season (along with some syndicated repeats). At first I wondered why House had Steeler's coach Mike Tomlin on his staff.

Now we all have to worry about bullet-propelled testicles getting women pregnant.

I just started watching this show this season (along with some syndicated repeats). At first I wondered why House had Steeler's coach Mike Tomlin on his staff.

I wondered if I was the only one who thought that... Every time the Steelers play a game close to when I'm watching House (been watching early season DVDs lately so I was watching the other night after the Steelers/Cowboys game) and I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance.

Don't you mean Dr. Buffer?No, Dr. Buffer was the floor guy I think. Blue only got mentioned once. House was breaking into someone's office and Wilson stopped him...taking out a set of keys he unlocks the door. House asks Wilson "Where'd you get those", Wilson replies "Blue, the janitor" :D Could have that backwards.

Well, FWIW, that's the way I remember it also....

As you stated, no janitor named Blue at all. It was implied as "Blew" not "Blue."

Great setup and delivery on that one. :)

This week's episode is looking to be one that I will treasure. You ever happen upon a particular episode that has all the markings as if someone wrote it just for you?

I like how they play upon the interrelationship of pain, depression, and suicide, and make the prescient observation that sometimes they are not related in the sense that most people expect. Sometimes the causal chain is not even in the order that we suspect.

The first gem of a line, so far, is:

Does the depression cause the pain or does the pain cause the depression?

This week's episode is looking to be one that I will treasure. You ever happen upon a particular episode that has all the markings as if someone wrote it just for you?

Yes exactly. Something recently in my life made this episode feel that way.

"Do you ever hang clothes?"
"I'm about to hang a plumber"

lol

Cam House's temporary boss? Whoot?

Loved the plumber bits in the episode.

Also the Cuddy ones, she's so busy with the baby now (hence getting Cam to run things)...

Next episode is the Cam Vs. House I can't wait LOL!

Loved it when House called Foreman "Fourteen."

Not many comments on this weeks episode. I guess people didn't care for it too much? I thought it was pretty average, at best.

Amongst the usual entertaining hijinks, the episode was sort of a supplemental update to House's ongoing personal battle with pain mitigation. This time, the patient is a fellow veteran to the subject, whose insights manage to hit close to home in areas that are normally internalized in secrecy in House's world. House finds himself more like a peer/comrade to the patient rather than the more typical role of superior doctor toying with the unwitting patient. It is one of the few times where House is forced into a corner to have to manuever a case emotionally/compassionately as opposed to just textbook clinical.

Up to now, we have observed House operating under the safety of medications to mitigate the pain. Now he is confronted with the premise of what if the pain has encroached upon you to the extent that there is no longer a "safety zone" afforded by even the best drugs available? In a sense, House (and we, the viewer) is forced to confront the Kevorkian scenario. Under normal conditions, it is not the consensus that death or suicide is the answer. So now we are thrust into a situation that makes us reconsider that maybe there is a threshold where it might be the reasonable (and humane) solution.

Dr. Plastic Surgery (I don't know what his more common reference tag name is) is obviously the antagonistic counterpoint to all of this. He is there to recite the commonly cited views on the subject of pain/depression/suicide, but (hopefully) we recognize that his approach comes off as callus and unsympathetic. If you find yourself in a situation where you have to counsel someone in great agony or torment, you may have Dr. Plastic's ideas on your mind, but you should be greatly wary to not share those expressions in an attempt to improve the situation. They do not help the situation (regardless of how right you think you are on it). The person afflicted is going to tune you out with a swiftness, and then you have lost your greatest avenue to potentially mitigate the situation via communication.
