Teaser, or Setup

 

In the setup, a random civilian is shown experiencing some sort of symptoms, and then an entirely different civilian collapses right next to him, yelling in excruciating agony. We then zoom into an extreme extreme extreme extreme close-up (EEEECU) of the victim's body and watch as something snaps, corrodes, explodes, or otherwise does something it shouldn't. The same Hitchcockian violin shriek always accompanies this part, describing the victim's inner panic and fear (see: "Holy fucktarts, I'm dying!", track 11, House M.D. OST) and setting the mood for the show to come.

Then the theme song plays. Jennifer Morrison gets a river. No one knows why.

[edit] Treatment #1

 

Dr. House gets the patient, and in his characteristic arrogance, usually thinks he knows the proper diagnosis and treatment for the patient within the first act. House proceeds to ask his team for suggestions, largely so he can make wisecracks to show them just how wrong they are. After a reasonable round of one-off suggestions and hilarious bisexual/racist jokes, they come to some sort of conclusion, often Lupus, Cancer or Wilson's.

 

House then orders the patient be prescribed the appropriate medicine, and said patient appears to be getting better. But this is only ten minutes into the show, so everyone with half a brain knows that soon the patient will be bleeding out his eyes, seizing, crapping blood, or experiencing kidney failure and then requiring dialysis for the rest of his life.

 

And that's exactly what happens. Every damn time. House then writes the new symptoms on his whiteboard. Usually by this time he listens to his team's suggestions for treatment. House then sends Foreman to break into the patient's house just to make sure that the patient is telling the truth, and also because Foreman is black.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] House's New Theory

 

Dr. House then receives new evidence from the patient's house and he comes up with an excuse for his failures in act one. Going by his "Everyone lies" theory, House blames his treatment's failure on the patient's failure to disclose a previous condition. Usually they got this condition because they were a liar and/or a hooker, drug addict, in a car accident ten years ago, world traveler, or emo. Surprisingly, House is correct 100% of the time.

 

House makes his team go and run a bunch of tests to confirm his New Theory. Strangely, their hospital seems to have no lab staff, sonographers, x-ray technicians, MRI operators, phlebotomists, etc. As a result, all of the tests have to be performed by House's staff of MDs. Most likely, the team also has to bathe the patients and change their catheter bags, although that isn't shown in the episode. There was one episode where House inserted his own catheter, but that was at home, so it probably doesn't count.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] Treatment #2

 

Dr. House then bursts into the room where the patient and his family are located, informs them that he is the patient's doctor and that the patient is a cheater/alcoholic/addict/liar and that she/he must now undergo some risky treatment with potentially thousands of side effects.

 

Naturally, the family doesn't believe that their sweet little MOTHEFUCKER could ever ever ever keep any secrets, so they refuse the treatment. But Dr. House doesn't care. He orders the medicine prescribed against his team's, Cuddy's, the family's, and Hippocrates' wishes.

 

The treatment is started, but then the patient bleeds out the ass/has a seizure/has a heart attack/almost dies, so they know the diagnosis is wrong and they have to stop the treatment.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] House Reprimanded

 

At this point the dean of medicine, Lisa Cuddy, will invariably show up with a list of grievances and to say something along the lines of, "No! Bad House!" House will reply with some variant of, "Boobs! Ass!" and continue to do whatever the hell he feels like doing. Unable to deny these allegations, Cuddy will send House to the Clinic to remind him that she still has one of his testicles in a lockbox along with pictures of him doing Bjork. She reminds him that she'll make those pictures VERY public if he doesn't do his civic Clinic chores. He does it, albeit reluctantly and not without a few undertone sundry epithets about his boss being the Devil in a Low Cut Blouse.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] Clinic Duty

 

This is usually the turning point of the show. Dr. House derives an epiphany either from a quilt design, an inappropriate fantasy about his boss dressed as a Japanese school girl, a clinic patient, or a page informing him that the Patient-Of-The-Week is dying and there's nothing that can be done. No matter what, House finds something about his current situation analogous to the mystery condition. This allows him to Stare Off Into Space Significantly. He limp-swaggers back to the patient shortly after torturing Arthur to death with an electric dildo.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] Treatment #3

 

House informs his team about his new diagnosis. One or two of the doctors are usually still skeptical, but they go along with House because they are pushovers, except for Foreman. Also, the oncologist Doctor Wilson has usually shown up to help with the case by this time. This is regardless of whether or not the disease has anything to do with cancer, because he's a slacker trying to sleep with any woman that might be in the area.

 

House then goes to get permission from the patient's family. By this time they are wary of a third treatment, and when the treatment doesn't make sense to them, they quote to Dr. House some fact that they remember from seventh grade biology about why he can't do the treatment. House then yells, "I'm the goddamn Batman!" And if that doesn't work, he gets Cameron/Thirteen to go and talk (often lie) to the family, which usually convinces them.

 

Regardless, House is doing the god damn surgery. Period.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

[edit] It Works

 

The surgery or medicine works, and the patient wakes up. Usually he will require drugs/dialysis/chemo for the rest of his life. Also, it turns out that whatever it is that matters most to the patient will kill him if he ever does it again. Even if it is helping children. But he lived, so who cares? I'll tell you who, the girlfriend or parent. They may be dumb, but they do remember that House exposed the patient as a mere mortal human. They usually either break up, excommunicate, or disown the patient. That or they yell at House for shattering their illusions about the patient.

 

Then everything fades into a touching, bittersweet kum-ba-yah melody for a couple of minutes, just to remind you that what has happened is very significant and emotional, and then you realize it's over and you now have to get off your ass and get to work.

 

House pops a handful of Vicodin.

 

The end. As the closing credits run, you try to figure out how "Harry has some bad hat". Harry (if that is his real name) has no hat on and it looks like the shark is looking for lunch. You wonder if the producer of the credits popped one too many vicodin? It is however, actually a reference to a line from the movie Jaws. Why a medical show has anything to do with killer sharks is up for debate.

Well, that is a category where I fit in easily:sneaky::lol:

 

No, I don't think there is:(:disappointed:

In my experience, there is no new episode unless there is a promo following the last episode.

:disappointed: No episode!

 

but here's something about the season finale and:

 

'House' boss on Huddy: 'It's going to happen'

by Michael Ausiello

 

 

he prognosis on Huddy is in, and it’s excellent.

I just hung up with House creator David Shore, and — no beating around the bush here — he promised me, “Eventually, it’s going to happen. This is the thing we’ve been dancing around — even before we knew we were dancing around it. They’re two very flawed people, but they’re two people that are very attracted to each other.

“I’m a Huddy fan, [too],” Shore added. “Just keep watching the show. It’ll happen eventually.”

I can confirm that there was not a single qualifier in that sentence. I listened to the tape three times. Not a single “maybe” or “possibly” in there. Go ahead and reread it; I’ll wait.

Coincidentally, Shore also happens to be in the middle of breaking this season’s final episodes. Could it possibly culminate with real, non-hallucinatory lovemaking? My gut is telling me yes.

What’s yours saying? And do you worry that when Huddy finally does happen, a part of you might actually miss the waiting game we (and they!) have been playing for so long? Debate, discuss, deliberate below.

 

and a pic of Jesse's birthday for the girls who love him :nice:

'House' exclusive: 'Lost' alum Cynthia Watros checks in as [major spoiler alert]!

 

 

by Michael Ausiello

Categories: House, Lost, News

 

Lost heroine Cynthia Watros has found herself one hell of a plum role on House.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the Emmy-winning actress has been cast as Wilson’s first ex-wife (he’s had three) who comes back into his life as his new girlfriend.

And this isn’t some passing fling. I’m told Watros is on board for multiple episodes, the first of which is slated to air in April. Ironically, that’s right around the time she’s slated to reappear on Lost as Libby.

This marks the first significant romantic entanglement for House’s BFF since the death of Amber nearly two years ago.

Thoughts?! Are you as psyched about this as I am? ‘Cause I’m pretty psyched.

 

 

 

:wacky:

 

 

 

Question: Will House try to break up Wilson and his new/old girlfriend on House? —Nikki

Ausiello: And how. As series creator David Shore explains, “This isn’t just House being protective of Wilson, this is him being protective of Wilson against somebody who arguably knows Wilson as well as House does. And I think that’s what makes the scenes [between Hugh Laurie and Cynthia Watros] so interesting. You have these two people who apparently care about Wilson, although they’ve both made some dramatic mistakes in that regard, kind of fighting over him.” :o

6x15 - "Private Lives" PRESS RELEASE, Images and Preview 01]

 

 

House and the team take on the case of an avid blogger (guest star Prepon) admitted with sudden bruising and bleeding. From her hospital bed, the patient blogs about her symptoms, doctors and prospective diagnoses to her dedicated band of followers and solicits their advice on a course of treatment. Such openness leads the team to contemplate the value of privacy, especially after House and Wilson uncover secrets from one another’s past. Meanwhile, Chase is coaxed into testing out the dating scene in the all-new “Private Lives” episode of HOUSE airing Monday, March 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX sptv050769. (HOU-615) (TV-14 D, L, S)
