I thought it was Oscar Wilde, too, for what it’s worth.
My comment about the Bill James Baseball Abstract being used as a prop was just out of curiousity as to why the character would read it since he’s never been given any indication of being a sports fan at all.
I was just wondering if it was a favorite of someone on the crew.
I would sit down and relax to read a book like that, but it doesn’t seem that Wilson would.
Yup, my bad. I didn’t think what I said made too much sense . . .
Well, he did get an autograph “To Jimmy Wilson, the Cy Young of Medicine” from Hank Wiggen, the baseball player patient in Sports Medicine. On a baseball card that he just happened to be carrying around, I guess.
I like the character development, but in all honesty I’m sick of this emotional stuff. I have enough emotions, I don’t need to watch them on TV. I wanna watch medical stuff with House, not emotional stuff with House. The Cottages should stop teasing Cameron about her crush on House, because it seems to me like the writers have discarded it as a plot line EXCEPT for when we need “emotional insight” into his character. That irritates me. And I understand that House isn’t over Stacy yet. But that’s not professional to do all the stuff he does, and he’s just being an arrogant jerk, and I don’t want to watch that part. I want to watch the parts with the patient.
And reading her medical records was going too far. That’s private. I’m liking the character House less and less lately, and the show more and more.
But the drama with the doctors is a big part of the show. Leave it out and you have Marcus Welby, MD.
I can’t wait to see why House broke into the psychologist’s office. That was, IMHO, the worst thing he has done so far.
Also, who played the biker’s manager? I know that I know that voice!
Far as I’m concerned the worst thing he’s done so far is when he told the paramedic “If you want to be a doctor you should have studied harder” when all the poor guy’s trying to do is get House to bog off so the guy they’ve brought in can be admitted. First time I hoped someone punched him (again :))!
The manager was played by Taraji P. Henson.
Nothing established that he wasn’t a baseball fan either ;).
