Tonight's "House"

[irishjayhawk]

Anyone watch?

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

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.

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

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 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?...

[Baby Lee]

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.

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.
