House

[FatuousTwat]

House's reaction at the end somehow didn't seem very Housey either.

Given my post in this thread on the 19th- we clearly already had an angry-guy-with-gun episode, and one that was done far better than this was.

Favorite parts mostly included that weird little kid who stayed behind out of curiosity. My friends kept making stoner jokes about him, which later turned into "oh man, that'd be so me" jokes.

I liked the episode, but here's the part that I think may make you guys understand why you didn't like it. It was a setup - it was meant to setup the future relationship with Cuddy. Something to make her realize he really does want a relationship, he just doesn't know how to go about it.

Heh. Cuddy knows House. I always thought that it would make sense for them to have a fling after he and Stacy broke up, but House is the poster child of sucking at relationships.
Fuck him? Maybe. Play House with House? I think Cuddy will run for the hills.
Maybe there's a window of weakness after the failed adoption thing. But it's gonna close fast. And it's gonna be a flaming train wreck of epic proportions in the end if they do get together.

Damnit, I'm starting to care deeply about Thirteen.

So does this last episode mean an end to some of the Cuddy/House drama-fest(hopefully)?

[Brogarn]

Didn't care for this week's episode and had an issue with the ending:

You can go back to eating a high carb diet without being a porker. That's the diet endurance athletes eat.

I doubt it. They've done quite a good job of not jumping the shark with this relationship by continually pushing them together without actually putting them together. House getting her that desk from med school was a fantastic way to push that relationship forward without the typical sleeping together thing. I keep waiting for the jumping to begin, but it hasn't.

Rise, rise from the hiatus etc.

This is getting incredibly stale and weak. The most recent episode (about the special aid teacher) was just abysmal. I don't care for anyone in this series anymore.

Yeh, I realized somewhere in season 2, here I'll write every episode of house from here tell its canceled.
person gets sick -> house + lackey round table -> Misdiagnose leads to patient having unforeseen problem ->  MIR/EKG with 2-3 lackeys having a "meaningful" conversation about whatever the side plot is this week, sick person then falls off MIR/EKG or has some sort of attack -> lackeys break into patients home/place of work -> House comes up with a wacky procedure to save patient, cuddy shoots it down -> surgery scene -> house has magical insight into the real problem and saves the day.

[Tarami]

It's not that it's formulaic. I can stand that, as long as it's witty and has decent character development alongside the strict framework for the series. It's that they've over the last season and a half thrown away every development that the three first produced.

And 13 needs to die faster. She's a boring character. She's terminally ill and bisexual. That's a helluva characterization.

Edit; schpellig.

I thought last night's episode was very well done, but I judge the show on its dialogue since every week's episode has an interchangeable plot.

You got to see House acting genuinely evil in order to convince Cuddy to keep her adopted baby, which is a rare act of kindness and not readily apparent.

Me likey, although I agree that the Thirteen bit has almost run its course.  I've never given a shit about Foreman and his holier-than-though attitude, but I can see where they will take this.

I haven't watched this week's episode, but I long ago figured out that House was not about the disease of the week. The disease was just a narrative device to get the characters talking. The show is the dialogue between characters.

Without that insight, I don't think anyone gets through even five episodes. And it -is- the dialog/interaction that's failing me.

[Grand Design]

Cue atmospheric Indie Rock montage.

This is the only part of the formula that makes me cringe.

Its a show about a borderline psychotic diagnostician savant, and yet there's always three minutes set aside for whiny, guitar-strumming, laughably introspective sandals 'n socks music.

Makes no sense, but I cope.

THE PATIENT POOPS A LUNG.

THE PATIENT POOPS A LUNG.

I laughed my ass off when I read that. In fact... I'm still laughing.

FADE TO AWESOME

You know, maybe it's a failing on my part, but I love House. An episode could probably follow that exact chart but as long as House is a snarky asshole, and all the other characters do their thing, I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I love this show for the same reason I make fun of people who watch Scrubs. But I don't care.

Here's a question- Where's the Private Eye? The most awesome character ever introduced and they give him less time than that shitty cop who wanted to bust House for drugs.

[HaemishM]

Having now watched this week's episode, yeah it was week. The Cameron interaction just didn't click for me, maybe because she seems to be playing everything so laid back this season. It's like they are trying to invent reasons to keep her and Chase around.

[ashrik]

Did you get your It's Always Sunny in my House?

[Hindenburg]

This... is better than the last few House episodes.

 

[Merusk]

The purple nurple of life, eh. 

[Samwise]

Fucking  .  I liked this episode a lot.

[schild]

That was an excellent episode.

[Signe]

What is up with Cuddy's hair?  It's horrible.  Like a fucking shroud.  It looks more like fur than hair.

[naum]

Yes, that do has got to go.

[Merusk]

She doesn't have time to do her hair in any elaborate style now that she has a kid, and she's going with that "frazzled upper middle class single mom" look!  It's all part of the narrative and gets your viewers to totally relate!  I mean, who HASN'T had that look after a busy morning foisting the kid off on your nanny before going in for a grueling 6 hour day telling the Dr. you're crushing on how he's wrong, but not...

[Hindenburg]

Episode 17 is probably the best of the season.

[EWSpider]

Could we get that huge fucking pic several posts up enclosed in spoiler tags? Pretty plz.  It was funny when it was posted, but now it's blows up the thread everytime I click "New" posts.

[Samwise]

I agree, and took the liberty.   

[NowhereMan]

I thought the last episode actually gave a pretty good slant on House and Wilson's friendship beyond both just being generally screwed up in different ways.
