I didn’t. House was right, there was NO WAY Wilson would leave with House even threatening to take off himself. I assume at some point House would take off, Wilson’s hands would drop from the wheel into his lap in defeat and he would mumble to himself “Why do I keep letting him do this to me?”
That’s why I said half expected. I really didn’t think the writers would do that with Wilson, but you never know.
I watched that entire episode thinking how awesome it was to see Lea Thompson again. Then I watched the credits :smack: and wondered… why have I never noticed the resemblance before this?
The minor point that bothered me was the way the choice was given to Jennifer Grey’s character. Based on what they told her, I didn’t see this huge and terrible risk she was taking. It wasn’t made clear to me, the viewer, that she stood a chance of dying from a PE or [whatever other comorbidities were possible). So I couldn’t understand it, when she made the obvious choice that I would have made. I’m thinking cancer doesn’t usually kill people in 8 or 9 days so that seemed like a safe chance to take. So I’d have chosen to hold off on the surgery as well.
Of course I wasn’t surprised when I saw how it turned out, but they made the mom look like a bit of a chump when they didn’t show the doctors giving her all the information she’d need to make a more sensible decision. I know, it’s TV and the Wilson/House schtick was funnier, but it gave me a 
wtf moment.
One minute she’s got two kinds of cancer which are not known for killing you in less than two weeks and the next minute she’s dead. Huh?
That was a truly awesome moment. And it was obvious that she wouldn’t be on the team, since she’s not conventionally hot enough.
And any scene featuring Taub has got my attention. I love watching that guy.
My sister in law and her mother did, with The Nephew. Any time he babbled in his sleep, tried to turn over (they had him in one of those blankets that don’t let the child do that), snorted, sneezed, coughed, or simply breathed hard, the two of them would rush to the cradle and wake the poor mite up. Made me furious…
He was avenged by his sister: not only did The Kidlette refuse to sleep in that blanket (and when she wants to express an opinion, she does so forcefully), but she’s a very silent sleeper and waker. The mom and grandmom were worried that something might be wrong with her, the pediatrician told them to count their blessings. She turned 2yo last month, but she can lie/sit/stand for well over one hour, watching the world without making a noise.
The last several episodes have been disappointing. (Note that the threads for the previous two episodes died rather quickly.) Not because of “Huddy” (I hope). The writers should be able to handle that.
There just seems to be way too much heading in one direction then off in another in overall development. This is not a good sign. It means that the writers are either unsure of where to go or there is a war going on between them. The latter would be fatal to a series.
Wilson losing the game of chicken was bad. A couple seasons ago, it would have been tolerable. But not the New and Improved back-with-the-ex Wilson. Nope. Don’t like that.
I don’t get it. They see the dime on the ultrasound. Then think she didn’t swallow it at all. They think it was an air bubble. Then it was there all along. And these are supposed to be TV doctors? (TV doctors differ from real doctors in being able to perform every medical test and procedure without regards to training. I.e., they never need a radiologist to look at a scan. And they run their own lab tests, even the Duckling of the week.)
The promo has yet another female Duckling, but announced in such a way as to suggest more than a one-off appearance. Yet another zig-zag.
BTW: In real life, while people would like to fill in slots with females/minorities, if you are smart you never, ever mention this out loud. You take a completely different approach than what they show. They would not be allowed to be so blatant about this. Even Cuddy would be mad about what they were doing, and certainly not encouraging it.
Amen! Anyone who has ever taken a jar of coins to the bank to be counted knows that. How do the banks know which coins are Canadian? Because the magnet in the machine takes them out!
