[QUOTE=5que] I saw David Morse (as the cop this season) as the show’s Moriarty. [/QUOTE] The guy who shot House in the Season 2 finale (Elias Koteas) was named "Jack Moriarty.’ While a lot of people hated David Morse’s character, I actually genuinely liked that entire story arc, except for the end (I can’t imagine a real judge throwing a case out like that in a million years.) ---

[QUOTE=Nature’s Call] What are the chances that Stephen Fry will be cast as one of the new underlings? Or better as a Moriarty character! [/QUOTE] Yes, yes, and _yes_, and an extra yes in there for good measure. I would empty my (already nearly empty) bank account to see that. 🆒 I’m glad they’re keeping Wilson and Cuddy–those were the characters House had the best dynamics with, IMHO. Any word/rumours on who’s getting cast next season? ---

I wonder if Foreman would stay to be a junior administrator the way he was for a while there. ---

I liked the episode, but the beginning pissed me off. 1: Why weren’t the pilots on NVGs? 2: They were only 50 feet above the water, the rotor wash would have been a lot worse. 3: The pilot would have been too busy focusing on keeping a good hover, he would not have had time to chastise the hoist operator. The hoist Operator knows what he’s doing, he does not need a pilot in his ‘grill’ as the youngin’s say. 4: Also, the hoist operator would not have had time to reply to the pilot. Yeah, they talk but only for things that are important. And he would have been wearing a leather glove. and finally 5: I have never met a pilot who could hover that good in the middle of the day with tons of hover references, let alone at night in the middle of the ocean. Good episode though. ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] Aside: did House slip with his American accent? Do any Americans say DAY-ity rather than DEE-ity? [/QUOTE] No comment on whether that was a slip, but I have heard him slip at least once before: he pronounced “been” as “bean”, something no American that I know of would do. ---

[QUOTE=carterba] No comment on whether that was a slip, but I have heard him slip at least once before: he pronounced “been” as “bean”, something no American that I know of would do. [/QUOTE] I also heard him screw up pretty miserably on one line in an earlier season, with an intrusive ‘r’ and some other giveaway. I forget the exact line, but I think it involved diapers, if that jogs anyone’s memory. I recall being very surprised at the time that they didn’t have him redo the line. ---

I seem to remember an article where Laurie said that “myocardial infarction” is particularly hard for him to say with an American accent. ---

They would have had him do it this season but the Tritter arc had already been planned. Ironically, he was right next door for a while, working on a few episodes of **Bones** as Booth’s psychiatrist. ---

I noticed too, with this episode, that I didn’t care even the slightest about the patients. I don’t know if I normally care very much or not, but I really noticed the not caring in this ep. Lots of little things I liked about this episode, but overall, not their best work. We need more Wilson. Lots and lots of Wilson. Wilson and House interaction. Yeah, baby. **Rand** , we watch “House” for the drama and characters and writing, not for its technical accuracy in ANY field. 😃 - featherlou, former Medical Lab Tech who never saw a doctor run their own tests, and wouldn’t have allowed it if they’d tried. ---

Oops, Tritter shows up and arrests everybody. Ahh, Tritter decides to go for the ménage à quatre. Oops, Cameron comes into the room and gives one of those stern, thin-lipped prudish looks that she’s so good at. Ahh, Chase shows up and lures Cameron into the broom closet by promising to demonstrate a new way to take her temperature… Disease of the week? We don’t need no stinking diseases. We’ve got a cast full of hotties. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Eleanor of Aquitaine] I seem to remember an article where Laurie said that “myocardial infarction” is particularly hard for him to say with an American accent. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I’ve also seen him say on Craig Ferguson’s talk show that “murder” and “court order” were particularly difficult for him. I suppose anything with multiple postvocalic /r/s in close proximity is tricky for him. And the immediately following alveolar flaps can’t help either. ---

Nah, Foreman would just stand around moralizing to them all and claiming he’s not cleaning up that mess. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/house-5-29-season-finale-spoilers/405939.md?page=3)
