I keep expecting a glowing lightbulb graphic to appear above his head. It’s fun to try and predict it before it happens.
Also, formulaic shows are good for drinking games…
I see the formula more as:
Some individual in their daily life seems like something might be wrong with them. But no, it was just a hiccup or something. Fake out! Suddenly, someone else in their vicinity collapses and must be rushed to the hospital.
Well, there’s levels to House - sarcastic, tell it like it is, and truly crass. I’m quite happy with just a sarcastic, tell it like it is House, without needing the overboard crassness.
I’m not a Huddy fan though. I always saw his exgirlfriend (the woman from Sisters) as a better match. But I don’t think Huddy is doomed. He was making a lot of personal progress with the woman he met at the psych center.
Also, that had to be one of the least sexy scenes in TV history. House was oozing blood and covered in dust and mud. Yech!
I really don’t think they are going to go there. We already explored that storyline. They haven’t yet explored House and Cuddy actually trying to have a relationship, so that’s more likely. Plus, it took years of gradually increasing his dose to get to the point of hallucination. I don’t think 2 pills would have gotten him to that point after a year of sobriety.
That wouldn’t explain Cuddy’s absence from the hospital while the problem with the neurosurgeon was happening, or the multiple scenes from upcoming episodes where House and Cuddy clearly are an item.
So farm nobody has seen House and Cuddy together. The writers could milk that for the entire season, having House talk aout their relationship and everyone else saying “Yeah, right.”
It’s possible, but the scenes from next week tend make me question that.
OTOH, they could end the entire season with a Dallas type ending where the entire season was a dream. Maybe the season will end with someone rescuing House from the bottom of the collapsed building.
I would be very disappointed if they did something like making everthing in the whole season an hallucination. It’s unfair to the viewer and takes no writing skill to pull off.
But I could see the writers very cleverly depicting an entirely hallucinatory relationship in ways that make it non-obvious or at least less obvious. Sort of like in a certain movie that I don’t want to spoil for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Well they’re not being too clever about it. After Amber, I’m on full-on “hallucination alert” and I was watching closely for this sort of thing. Kinda like watching Mission: Impossible knowing that anyone at any time could be wearing one of those rubber masks.
If it was an hallucination, where was Cuddy all day? How could it possibly be that House just happened to have a psychotic break on the very day Cuddy went AWOL?
If this does play out as a dream or whatever I’ve watched my last episode of House.
Yea, I think they’d be more likely to do it in ways that make it an obvious possibility but keep us guessing. Of course, Cuddy hiding anytime some one walks in on them would get a little ridiculous after a while.
Yeah. That’s why the new assistant was having to deal the disappearance of the neurosurgeon and with having the ER and the trauma center shut down. Don’t you suppose he would have gone straight to her if she were on site?
Besides, the whole reason the assistant had to deal with the disappearance of the neurosurgeon was because House had let the neurosurgeon go home after answering Cuddy’s phone. If this had all been one complex hallucination, House wouldn’t have her phone.
