For that matter, how long did Wilson expect House to be staying with him? If I was in his position, unless it was supposed to be VERY temporary I’d want my friend to feel at home, and make the spare room into his bedroom no matter what I’d been using it for. Especially if my friend had been having mental problems.
Keep her photos and stuff, sure. But he doesn’t need a whole room for them.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Of the cottages, I used to only like House. But I’m starting to like Foreman too. We see how unnecessary the new ones are. Here’s to hoping none of them return.
There was that cop that couldn’t stop laughing and then was in severe pain. He infected Foreman and then died, so Foreman was the one they saved in the end. There was also the one where several of the babies in the hospital died and they had to figure out why to prevent more from dying. I figured in this one, the father had died and they were going to have to cure the son. It kind of made me wonder if the man’s father, his grandfather, and great grandfather were buried alive.
great site about the medicine in House: http://www.politedissent.com/
I don’t really mind the hand waving medicine/magic, but at least give me explanations a lay person would buy. I find it truly impossible that his blood pressure being low or his heartbeat being “too slow” would be cause enough for him to be declared dead with today’s technology. I would, however, buy this. I think the whole thing was just to set up a halloween scare thing where they showed house/foreman jumping.
The whispering thing was good, but yeah, the explanation doesn’t match the hospital scene.
Hearing a distant sound in the middle of the day in an active hospital isn’t all that amazing, if your brain is specifically trying to pick up background noise.
I wish my DVR was smarter. I got 45 minutes of baseball, and the first 15 minutes of House! Damn!
Gonna have to scour the TV listings to see the rest of it…TRM
Docs don’t perform many tests prior to pronouncing death. They do examine the pt for cardiac monitor tracing(IOW, heart rhythm), pulse, corneal reflexes, breathing, and/or (what the hell), rigor mortis.
Cite? RN with 23 years experience at codes and bedside deaths.
BRAIN death is something else–that they have tests for.
I will have to get back into House. I left it during the duckling period–I got so sick of them all. I did like the whole Amber thing, but haven’t watched any House this season as yet.
www.hulu.com makes house episodes available 8 days after the first viewing, up to the last 4 episodes.
Thirteen was decent, but Taub, Cunter [sic] and Amber were horrible.
My theory on why Chase, Foreman and Cameron worked while Taub, Cunter, Thirteen and Foreman didn’t was that House’s team was meant to act as the personality traits House didn’t have.
Chase was House’s hands in the operating room. He was like the soldier to House’s general.
Cameron represents compassion, always looking at how the interpersonal relationships affect the case, as House is stunted socially and emotionally.
Foreman, in the early episodes, represented anger and passion, but later, represented lust, particularly for power and recognition. (As House becomes less interested in his job, Foreman becomes more and more interested.)
Wilson, as always represents House’s conscience.
Of the ducklings, Thirteen was the only one who had diagnostic skills that even qualified her for the job. Personally, I would have recommended firing them all and re-doing the whole resume process. A veterinarian and a plastic surgeon? Seriously? Kutner was just incredibly inept. I’m surprised he didn’t kill somebody already. However, he’s a much better diagnostician through sheer luck and BS writing than Taub, which really says a lot about Taub. Amber has had more effect on the story since she died, so I think they found just the right way to use her.
Overall, I think the whole “new team” thing was not only poorly handled, and the actors chosen as replacement not a good fit, but really, House/Laurie is the star, like Michael Jordan and he needs good role players around him, not distractions.
But, it’s pretty much back to status quo now. All the ducklings are gone, and Cameron, Chase, and Foreman are reunited. There’s some chance Thirteen will return, but not likely, given that Chase’s current story arc will likely dominate this season (as well it should, you really need to watch “The Tyrant” (6:3) to see how big it is.) House also gets some good laughs with his “healing” this season, with plenty of snark all around.
Also, the USA Network runs new episodes on the Friday of the following week, 11 days after the original airing. You can pick this week’s episode up on Friday, Oct. 30.
Thanks, to both you and SuperHal.
I always thought that Wilson represented House’s Watson…TRM
Though his sarcasm seems to be intact, House does seem to have achieved some character growth. He even suggested therapy for his guilty duckling. With regard to the cast changes:
Taub and 13 come back but Cameron! leaves…
Try this.
Baseball happened before House.
Grrr. It’s the one night when I actually like three shows back to back (House, Lie to Me, Castle) and then the silly baseball game. Although the winning runs were fun to watch.
Pardon my ignorance… Why is House living with Wilson? Please refresh my mental page.
His psychiatrist thought he shouldn’t live alone. He may have made it a condition of his release.
Thanks. He’s been at Wilson’s for 6 weeks now.
Yeah I initially thought these might have been the same whispers. Afterwards I figured these were just ordinary whispering/murmuring noises that he wouldn’t have otherwise paid any attention to, but noticed because he was partly expecting to hear more of them.
I think they showed him look out at a few people talking in the hall after he heard the hospital whispers, can’t remember if it was clear at the time (to him) that they were probably the source of the whispers at that particular time?
I hope I wasn’t the only one who tutted and sighed when it became apparent that they’re still going to keep bringing up Amber to manufacture soap-opera style plots.
