House

thismeansyou

sweet! i've been dying for a new episode of house.

Charlie Goose

I hope not dying because House will spend a day or two giving you the wrong treatment before realizing that you lied to him and then give you the correct treatment.

mndtrp

Getting started in an hour. The girlfriend has been whining about this being off-air for a couple of weeks.

Patman

Awww...House finds his heart and pushes Stacy away once again.

That patient is whacked. What a nutty way for 2 non-confrontational married people to "work" things out.

Good to know Cameron has been cleared of HIV infection.

Daniel-A

Best part of the episode House and the kid. When he has to be with a kid House shines, by having not to be a complete utter ass, but still having little side of jerk. I'm glad the nonsense of Boss Foreman is done as well. At the end of the episode, Sela Ward was packing up, does that mean her arc is done?

Patman

I would say so. Cuddy's impersonation of Stacy had me laughing a bit as well. That balloon dog was so not close to being a balloon dog. Loved how House got a mouth swab from Cameron for her HIV test.

mndtrp

The mouth swab was good. I thought the episode was over pretty quickly, and wasn't excpetionally pleased with the closure brought to the sick lady.

However, I enjoyed it, as I have all House's.

Ayre

When house asks the kid what floor the nurse who was watching her is on. Presses the floor button in the elevator. You think he is going to take her there ..... then he bails from the elevator.

Pretty much symbolic of his personality.

Phil L.

House finds his way into Wilson's locked office to discover Wilson rolling joints.
House: "High school reunion?"

Then House tries to nab one on his way out.

Charlie Goose

"I know you're in there, I can hear you caring."

House is alone again. Time to score on Cuddy or Cameron. Or both.

twikoff

most of the good parts have been pointed out

the swab was great
the know your in there
trying to sneak the joint
balloon dog

all the talk about anal and cameron gave me

and im glad all the stacy crap is over.. that storyline kindof annoyed me

cornflakeguy

I hope Stacy is back soon, though. Sela Ward is hot.

CFG!

BDB

I'm done with the Stacy character. Cuddy is hotter.

B.A.

Cuddy looks like she would be really naughty.

"Cameron - I love you."

Great show.

MrX

Good episode

I liked the scene with House and the daughter and how he sent her on the elevator by herself

Count Dooku

You can do an AIDS/HIV test from a mouth swab? I thought you had to draw blood.

thismeansyou

There are fairly new (half a decade or so) saliva based tests that can detect incredibly, incredibly diluted amounts of HIV virus, but they're less accurate..

Saliva does carry HIV virus particles, but it's not generally considered a method of transmitting HIV because you actually need quite a few virus particles to be infected with HIV, and the salivary concentration is very low.

We all know that the show follows the same format every week, so to me, the really good episodes tend to be the ones where there is more development with the main characters. Although this episode definitely furthered (and probably resolved) the House and Stacey relationship, the episode just didn't do it for me. I am starting to think that the constant repetitiveness of the same story structure week after week is just too boring.

Daniel-A

Same storyline? You mean a wrong diagnosis followed by treatment that may kill the patient followed by a pow wow in their whiteboard room where house has to personally find out what is wrong with the patient having it be some 1 in a million condition where it is healed within hours?

clemente

It's a procedural drama...that's what procedural dramas do. Look at Law and Order...13 years, same format (and it was pretty damn good for at least 8 of those years).

Daniel-A

Not a knock against House. I love the show.

Chew

I've been watching the Friday repeats on USA and it didn't take long to tire of that storyline. I think I got over it fairly quick though as I'm starting to watch the Fox episodes too.
