House 5/29 season finale *SPOILERS*

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.)

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. :cool:

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.

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.

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.

Fry has quite a busy schedule but hopes to make at least a cameo next season. 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. :smiley:

  • featherlou, former Medical Lab Tech who never saw a doctor run their own tests, and wouldn’t have allowed it if they’d tried.

Sing it, sister. Hmmm… Wilson and Cuddy and House in a rollicking ménage à trois. 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. :smiley:

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.

:smiley:

<snip for…well, just for>

:eek: Now you lost me.

Oh, look - Foreman’s at the door - time for spankings all around!

Nah, Foreman would just stand around moralizing to them all and claiming he’s not cleaning up that mess.
