I never knew House wsa supposed to be a comedy…

The whole scene with Wilson and the breast exam was comedy gold… no, comedy platinum!

My money says Foreman stays… but we wont know that for sure until next season.

I liked how things fit together. Forman complaining that House actually seemed happier since he gave notice - and then later we find out that’s because Wilson was dosing House with anti-depressants. Very nice.

Plus I think Cameron has been extra hot of late.

All of the Wilson/House scenes last night were great.  
From the taking the other cup to “Aha, I was right!” “Aha, you gave me speed!” to Wilson needing to drug both cups of coffee because he didn’t know which House was going to steal.  
It was great. Cuddy’s right, there are worse things to be.

I thought something was up at the beginning when House strolled (OK, limped) into the office, all smiles, and with a cheery “Good morning.” Way to telegraph a punch.

I kept thinking it would be great:  
Wilson: I clearly can;t take the cup that is in front of you.  
House: So, you’ve made your decision then?  
Wilson: Not even close, you see…  
\<snip\>

House: I’ve developed a tolerance for speed over the years.

Agreed. I guess they’re giving the House-is-obsessed-with-Cuddy storyline a rest so we don’t get tired of it. I could see it getting revived with Piper Perabo’s character being around and possibly dating House (wouldn’t it be fun if Cuddy were suddenly the jealous one?), except that the season’s over in two episodes. Still could happen, though.

Probably because she grew out those ridiculous bangs. She’s always been very pretty; it’s just hard to see when she looks twelve.

Anyone else think that House seemed to be considering taking antidepressants when he suggested meds for the suicidal chick?

I’m glad the powers that be are finally letting Wilson come out from under House’s shadow. Robert Sean Leonard is a three times nominated, one time winning Tony stage actor and he is so damn good. It’s nice to see him as something other than a foil for House.

Would you go to a hospital where the doctors secretly dope each other?

isnt this the second time they’ve used that diagnoses?

viens intersecting with arteries causing poisons to stay in that surgery could cure?

IIRC, the “gulf war syndrome army dude that cutty slept with” ended up with the same malady - due to a nose bleed carterization done in his youth… (he had an issue with tissue).

How would we ever know?

I too love Robert Sean Leonard (got the name right that time! WooT!) He’s just so darned cute!

Re: Cuddy’s inappropriate outfits (i.e. most of them) - at least House calls her on it, unlike other shows where women skank around and act like everyone in a professional occupation dresses with their boobs hanging out (CSI).

I loved the exchanges between House and blondie - very interesting.

God, no kidding. I had to back it up so the mister and I could see it again. And then again when she walked away. That was a NICE outfit.

I agree she looked smashing, but I’m thinking it wasn’t so much the outfit as what was poured into it.

So the antidepressants that House took had him reaching out and asking blondie for a date? Really enjoyed the exchange in the bar and how he couldn’t shock her. Also liked the scene in the clinic when she was so nonchalant about the boyfriend having a supposed affair but furious that he had eaten a Whopper.

So how many episodes are left for House? Is Forman expecting House to kiss his butt and make nice-nice before he agrees to stay? Surely he knows House enough to know that’s just not going to happen.

I think Foreman is deeply divided himself about staying or going. By the way, I loved Chase doing the diagnostics on what was going on with Foreman and House!
