House, M.D. season 2 ongoing thread (1 Viewer)

[Chris]

Thanks to some encouragement by others, I went back and netflix'd season 1, watched through over Christmas and really got into the show. I'm hoping they don't resolve the bit with Stacy.

It does seem though that neoplastic-anemia or whatever comes up a lot.

But, the thing that sells the show to me is Wilson. As a straight man, he's so good at what he does - he had House have the best facial expression back & forths of any show I've seen in years.

 

[Patrick Sun]

What was more unnerving was that she was also on Boston Legal the next hour playing an attorney for a guy who wanted to make a guest-starring Michael J. Fox pay for using his influence to actually get the drugs in a double-blind study on some new drug for his lung cancer.

I had to laugh hard when we see Wilson on the make with that hospital lady, and House calls him to get the skinny on his 3 blind mice doing the diagnostics on "Danny Noonan". Wilson must do that a lot (hitting on the other ladies on the hospital).

That would be the extremely talented Erica Gimpel.

One thing I noticed;

When house and Stacy are in the hotel room about to get busy and the phone rings. It seemed to me that Stacy was dissapointed and House was relived.

Remember all through the episode House was difficult to get a hold of and even when they did talk to him, he basicly just got a up-date and then told them to call him later. At one point even reasoning that Camaron, Chase and Formen can handle the situation without him.

back in the hotel room, I wonder, did he get cold feet or did he find some sort of humanity inside him that led him not to take advantage of Stacy when she was obviously tempted.

 

[David Williams]

I'd say so. He's tries to back out once during Stacy's come-on, but she persists. I think deep down under all the flaws & the cynicism, House is basically a good guy. Dr. Wilson, on the other hand... not so much.

Any idea why SOTA Turntables are getting a credit at the end of House?

Did anyone else notice the choice of the two Season 1 episodes Fox aired on Monday? They were "Histories", with the patient of the week played by Leslie Hope, and "Control", where the PotW was played by Sarah Chalke Clarke. It seemed like a stealth promotion for the return of "24".

not sarah chalke, sarah clarke.

Sorry, I knew what I meant, but I must have had "Scrubs" on the brain when I typed it. Corrected above.

Is there anywhere to buy House episodes online? I know iTunes doesn't carry FOX shows.

Thanks,

Henry:

House has a Sota turntable in his office. It's a prop.



Good episode. Sela Ward is still looking awfully good, even in hi-def.

House is back on tonight with a new episode (following American Idol on Fox).

 

[Patrick Sun]

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.

 

[David Williams]

I know, I'm quoting myself but this episode so neatly illustrated my point. Dr. House: Mean Guy on outside, Nice Guy on inside. Dr. Wilson: Good Guy on outside, Amoral on inside. Wilson was all over the moral map in this episode. First he's screaming 'She's married!", then it's "You idiot, she's hot for you and you turned her down!" I find it very amusing he can give this kind of advice after all the stepping out he does on his own wife. His compartmentalization is amazing!


After all of that, you'd think I didn't like Dr. Wilson but I do... it's just that he's the last person who should be giving relationship advice (except for maybe Dr. Cameron. She's totally fubared in the interpersonal relations dept.)

 

[Parker Clack]

I loved it when House says to Cameron "I love you". Her jaw drops and House gets the swab from her to send in for her AIDS test.

I think it was also telling when House just stares at the blank board and realizes that this is all he really has in his life.

 

[Patrick Sun]

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

House dropping LSD tonight cracked me up.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I hate burn victim episodes, that was a ghastly sight.

House on the floor was just priceless. Hosing Maddog (from Frasier) was also such a House move. Wilson was killing me with his pleading of House not to go down the road of retribution and regret.

 

[Mark Leiter]

What was it that Wilson said to House after House experimented on himself. Something like....

"Is Dr. Jeykal here, we need to ask him a few questions about a half eaten sheep in the OR room."

That and House dropping acid had me busting out. Another great episode.

Also in the same Wilsom confronting House scene, did anyone else notice that they turned up the sound effects all during the scene so we could better get what house was hearing/feeling. Nice touch.

Quick HOUSE question - and while it isn't about season 2, I figured there was no better place for it than this.

I'm a big Bryan Singer fan, and I know he directed two episodes of HOUSE last season as well as is an executive producer on the show, but I recently read that he made a rare on-camera apperance as himself in an episode last year. Can anyone describe this appearence for me? Is it worth going out and renting the show just to see?
