House -- "Let Them Eat Cake" -- 12/2/08

House Cast

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


A fitness guru known for her "natural" lifestyle collapses while shooting an infomercial. Meanwhile, Thirteen participates in a clinical drug trial for Huntington's disease led by Foreman; Kutner operates an online medical-advice clinic under House's name; and Cuddy moves into House's office while hers is being repaired, much to House's dismay.

I was laughing for a good two minutes when House grabbed Cuddy's boob.

I agree, I really enjoyed tonight's episode. Good mix of medicine, humor, romance. And good use of Kutner & Taub.

Some of the episodes lately I've felt have had too much going on, between the old team, new team, Cuddy, Wilson, and House (who half the time doesn't seem like he gives a rats ass about the actual medical mystery going on). This one had a lot going on, but it was all well intertwined.

Everything was in perfect balance. The end did scare the crap out of me though. She was a good actress!

Am I the only one that thought it was out of character for House not to be pissed at Kumar for using his name, moonlighting on the side, and being distracted from the case he is working on?

Seems like House is getting a bit soft. Which is not a bad thing, but a pushover is another.

soft? he totally got those two back, and got some income out of it. It was a great twist.

So how much will Kutner get to take home after he pays everyone else off? The funny thing for me was for some strange reason I had the "Coconut" song in my head. Imagine my surprise and excitement when the song came on at the end of "House."

House wanted 50% for using his name and Taubs' 30% to keep his mouth shut about the deal is negated once House found out.

That strange reason is probably the fact that Taub and Kutner's "patient" was singing it earlier in the episode.

Great episode. Now that they are back to the original formula, this show has gotten much funnier.

No. I meant all day at work and after I got home hours before the episode aired. Maybe they preview for the episode had that song in it. I have no idea.

I have to say this...

I haven't watched this week's ep yet but I did watch last week's so forgive me if anything drastically changed this week. But how does this show do the SAME thing every week and stay on for 5 years? Don't get me wrong, I really like the show and I watch every week. But I can't ignore this fact.



1. Sick person gets sick
2. Doctors try to figure it out
3. House is consulted and acts like an ass
4. House sends Doctors out to find causes while acting like an ass
5. Doctors make a guess and are wrong
6. House arrogantly announces the cause and cure and acts like an ass
7. House is wrong and acts like an ass
8. Sick person develops new symptoms ( Cue graphic SFX)
9. Doctors guess wrong again
10. House makes another proclamation and acts like an ass
11. Sick person gets sicker ( cue graphic SFX if needed)
12. House is wrong again and acts like an ass
13. Cuddy tries to be House's Boss and is shot down and or totally disrespected
14. Something random happens
15. House see the answer and figures it all out and saves the day/patient and acts like a slightly humbled ass
