Tonight's "House"
 

Anyone watch?

It was probably the best hour of television ever written or damn near close. And shot as good too.

I'd still like to see Cuttey nekkid....

Cuttey + schoolgirl outfit + stripper pole = Rausch on phone with DTV to get tivo...:drool:

No shit. :drool:

I love house..this show was great..i hate two parters though

and wtf are they ending the season with just 4 episodes? I know they had I think 4 in a row a couple months ago and then 2 before that including the one after the SB..seems like the new ones just started not too long ago

I was worried after last week's show....went a little off the deep end with the soap star episode. This one wasn't as funny as some others, but really well done.

I think House is still the best show on TV.

Ever heard of the writers strike a few months back? It screwed with every shows schedule.

Yep. And, if not, the show has hands down the best character on television.

I actually kinda liked the soap star one. Not their best effort but not their worst either.

That said, the humor was much, much more subtle. And there was a lot of it just not in usual off the cuff remarks.

amen :thumb:o:-)

Not the best picture, but found quick :)

I saw Cuddy in real life once. She's not one of those Hollywood people who looks different without make-up. She was still hot, and was wearing a very nice black dress.

Anyone notice [and I'm going to speak delicately to avoid spoiling], that Chase inadvertantly thwarted House's progress by hypnotically suggesting something was irrelevant?

For those who missed it, not the best qual but its there.

Yes, guess that program in Australia wasn't as good as they'd hoped.

Yeah. Though, it's not his fault. That was pretty irrelevant at the time because of WHAT she had said inside his mind.

Amazon has the first three seasons of House for 69.99 today at:

House = Quincey M.D.

No thanks.

rriight.

In it's day, Quincy M.D. was pretty good, but to suggest that there is any similiarity is mordiotic.

(Moronic and idiotic)

Jesus ****ing Christ.

I thought this 2 part season finale was great. Awesome episode last week, and last night's episode followed suit.

The House/Wilson angle next season should be interesting.

**** I keep on forgetting to watch shows. I'll have to download this entire season.

You don't know anything about anything.

So what's gonna predominate Wilson's thoughts, that House inadvertantly put CB in the position that she was on the bus, or that House took himself to the brink of death to uncover the only chance to save CB she ever had?

Truth be told, House had nothing to do with her death, that ticket was written processed and certified when she started taking the medication.

EDIT - I take that back, the crash harmed her liver, so she couldn't filter the poison. Still, House moved heaven and earth.

Very well written and well acted, but (insert Jaws theme here) the shark is getting close.

Oh, I think House being at fault is the initial thought process, without a doubt. She never should have been on the bus in the first place.
Issue #1: House gets hammered.
Issue #2: House calls Amber instead of just catching a cab.

Why call Amber? House never should have called her in the middle of the night to come babysit him. Wilson will be fed up once and for all with House's faults after this.

I really thought last night's episode was outstanding. Best hour of TV in some time.

No, he called Wilson and Amber answered. Even then, House told Amber to call Wilson. She decided not to bother him and ferry House home.

I haven't watched this yet, but I guess Amber died?

That's sad.
She was 18 kinds of good looking...and reminded me a bit of the wife.

So the one thing I didn't catch was why she was taking the medication in the first place? Anyone catch that?

It was a flu med. She thought she was coming down with the flu. The medication would have been fine but her liver was damaged in the crash.

OK, thanks.

House got drunk and called Wilson to give him a ride, as the bartender took his keys.
Amber answered his call as she was home and Wilson was at work.
House told her to call Wilson, she chose instead to go to the bar and pick him up.
As they were leaving, House got a wild hair and got on the bus instead.
At the last minute, Amber joined him on the bus with his cane that he'd left behind.
She sneezed, then took some pills. House recognized that she was taking an adamantine regimen.
The bus then crashed, flipping on it's slide and running into a parked car. Amber got a pole through her leg and numerous contusions, including damage to her liver.
House wandered off the bus dazed and still drunk and went into a strip club. He came out of his funk realizing he saw something [aside from the crash] that was endangering someone's life, but couldn't remember what.
Amber was without her ID [lost in the crash] and was sent to another hospital as a Jane Doe.
House tried a number of risky measures to regain his memory, despite his serious concussion from the crash.
He eventually pieced it all together [and they had tracked down Amber, cooled her core temp and put her on bypass to buy time], to realize that she had been poisoned by confluence of the adamantine ingestion and the liver damage that stopped her from filtering it. By that point, the adamantine was deposited in her protein cells and could not be filtered by dialysis. At that point, the only options were to let her situation play out [eventually and inexorably fatal] on bypass or wake her up and give her a few minutes to say goodbye. Woke her up and she died in Wilson's arms.

Yeah, I caught a lot of that in last week's episode, just hadn't watched last night's yet (Red Wings game).
She was way too interesting an foe for House for them to kill her off, IMO.
I always do this with shows. I don't watch them their first few seasons, then catch one episode and fall in love with the show, and spend the enxt few months trying to catch up. This was one case where the post-Super Bowl showing is what hooked me. Luckily, there are reruns on all the time. I seem to always take this route with good shows, though.

But as House was coming to this realization, Wilson said something to the effect that House knew Wilson was at work. Wilson was always concerned that House had a thing for Amber, and in his grief, he'll assume that House was really calling to get Amber to pick him up. Yes, House told Amber to call Wilson at work, but he knew she wouldn't do that.

It's not House's fault that she's dead, but it won't be difficult for Wilson to connect his own set of dots that lead to House's being somewhat responsible.

I cried a lot:deevee:

Cuddy

I didn't see how he first saw Ameber's rash (ass hat area.) Was there some legit way he happened onto it or was it suggested House might have been a little improper?...

Anoyone else catch that the penultimate [next to last] song on that episode was the original version [with lyrics] of the theme song?

The rash was a red herring. They were running that down and trying to figure out how he knew while the real memory was still repressed.

Thats right, I don't remember seeing it either.:hmmm:

The last 15 min. after they woke amber up and her and wilson were telling each other goodbye, i sat there and blubbered and couldn't quit right up till the end of the show.

Was it? Who did it (or covered for Massive Attack)?

I thought the beginning kinda sounded like Fight Fire with Fire only a weird cover.



I will say this about last night's episode. It was the perfect finale. However, Fox really screwed the pooch. The reason being, there wasn't enough climax in that one to live up to the hype the first one created. It should have gone back to back, in my opinion. Though, I'm sure they picked up the people they were aiming for. So, whatever.

My theory is that he saw it when she fell to the floor of the bus. That's when he started seizing too. But that's my speculation.

Great, great, great TV.

The song that played at the end was Passing Afternoon by Iron and Wine. Really good song that added to the ending for me.

About the time it starts getting stale (House is an azz, always finds the solution, team all hates him for his sarcasm and cynicism, etc) they mix it up very well.

Wilson has a real reason to hate House, the team doesn't find a cure and win the day, House loses on nearly all fronts...

She also wouldn't have been on the bus if Fred Durst hadn't been a responsible barkeep.

They have a knack for killer season finales. House got shot. This one. Etc.


And, for those who don't watch or don't watch regularly, you don't watch House for the medicine (find solution, etc). You watch it for the characters. Best on television.

Call me a party pooper but before everybody has a total orgasm about this show, let me bring up a couple of weak points.

1- You don't have a heart attack in the morning and run around all day like normal. Believe me, I know.

2- I bet there is not ONE doctor in the country who sends his subordinates to ransack a patient's home without getting into legal trouble the very first time for breaking and entering. House does this routinely.

Lighten up a bit. It's a TV show.
Much like the 5 people on CSI do the job that 50 people would take weeks to do in a coupe of days.
Much like the trials all take place within a week on Legal shows.
Much like all medical shows have doctors who do about 5 doctors' jobs.

I just finished the episode, and ****ing WOW.
I'll admit, musical montages get me, and as the music started playing, it got a little dusty in here. but when Wilson found the letter reading, "Sorry I'm not here, I went to get House," I thought a cladiosporum had burst in front of my face.
Like I said, I've only been watching this show since February, but I am effing hooked. Great show. It comes so close to being the same thing week after week, but changes up just enough to not get stale.
I'm sad Amber died, as I think she was a very cool character (and like I said, not so hard on the eyes), but the way they did it was brilliant.

The complaints here and elsewhere about the "sameness" week to week aren't fair IMO. The story each week is really just the backdrop to the characters, the interpersonal relationships, and the humor. Yes, it seems very formulaic: rare illness, House berates his team, then magically comes up with the answer at the last minute. It's the other "stuff" that makes this show so enjoyable to watch.

And the fact that they made me care so much that Amber was dying is a testament to the writing and acting. Four shows ago I didn't care all that much if she was on the show or not.

She should be back in pioneer garb on HBO this fall.

Ick.
ROFL

So, you have a problem. The series is not to be watched for the medicine (or, in this case, legal) aspect. It's for the characters.

Ya think?

As interesting as who was written out is why

cool link, thanks.


((and i still don't think Cutty and House should have sex))

My face was like :< @ last night's episode.

I was shocked at Kutner committing suicide. Never expected that.

Getting ready to watch.

However, best hour of TV ever made= West Wing, "Two Cathedrals."

I wonder if he really did or if they'll try to milk some kind of murder saga out of this...was it Foreman? Taub? House?

Hmmmm lol.

Wow!

Thanks for not spoiling it for those who have not watched the episode yet.

Question.

I've watched a couple episodes here and there.

Is this a show that has one continuous story line? Or is it like CSI, where its completely different every week?

he's just too lazy to put it in a spoiler. some people are the same way w/posting stupid email stories and not checking snopes first.
sec

Incomparable effects.

Each episode is mainly stand alone but a background continuous arc goes on.

is it just me or is this a really long season? Not that im complaining

Ooops! Sorry about that. Never even thought about the spoiler tags. :doh!:

No sweat. I have already watched it. I was just reminding in general sense.

Didn't get to watch it last night, but did catch it with the DVR. Planning on watching it after while.

Well since Kumar killed himself maybe they should bring in Harold.

why are you reading a thread about the show and expecting there not to be any spoilers for stuff that is already aired?

anyway someone beat me to the white castle joke so i'll just bow out now.

Lets talk about how I watch NCIS because I want to bang the Ziva chick.

I don't think it's gonna work.

Well damn it why not?

Just caught the rerun of "Wilson's Heart." Still holds up as a great finale episode. Made me think of this thread.

Irishjayhawk just kind of fell off the face of the earth, didn't he?
