Image Credit: Adam Taylor/FoxWanna good scare? Imagine the end ofHouse. And with Hugh Lauries contract up next season, it could happen. I have no idea how much longer the show will run, he tells me. I only hope well know when the time is right [to close up shop]. Someone will say, Thats it. But for now, he adds, Im immensely proud of the things we did this season. As well he should be....
WARNING:Stop reading if you have not watched last nights episode ofHouse. Everyone else, onward and downward… Deep breaths, Huddy fans.Deepbreaths. It was nothing more than a figment of Houses Vicodin-soaked, Kutner-grievin, Amber-obsessed imagination. We have to do things our way, theHouseway. We wouldnt want to have the characters do anything out of character. Two months later, Shore was equally as cagey about the impending romp. But I will confirm that we are taking things forward [with them]....
A crazyass lockdown that gave everyone a mini-Breakfast Clubstory! A moment of emotional decency from House, and an actual flicker of an interesting human being from Thirteen! Everything was upside-down and backwards in Lockdown. And I kind of loved it. This was the best episode in months. Poor Chase, still getting strung along by the overly righteous Cameron. Reading each others files wasnt all that revealing Foreman has an inferiority complex?...
So happy for her, right? Not House, of course. It was stunning to see Hugh Laurie in action as he reacted to this news in the baby store. Credit: Adam Taylor That one final sequence jump-started the episode, which I had feared was on a bridge to nowhere. Now, of course, I am eager for next week to happen already. That speech was boring. You dont let other peoples problems affect you....
But this weeksHouseick factor, a food fur ball, certainly gave it a run for its money. That character reminds me too much of those goofy crime solving show protagonists onMonkandPsych. I know those series are supposed to be good and pretty entertaining, but Im sorry. Credit: Michael Yarish/Fox This personal glitch made me realize that I miss the Wilson-House rapport just as much as House does. NEXT: Wrong diagnosis The Grim Reaper, as always, is a major character on House....
The babes dying 16-year-old chubby mother had hidden her pregnancy and thought shed had a still birth. What a sappy show it was, but I really had a good time watching the whole thing. First of all, I just loved watching House turn into a nice person. Credit: Greg Gayne/FOX I could have watched several hours of clinic duty where the man pretended to have good bedside manner. House tried to be a good boy to win a bet with Wilson....
Can one scene redeem a whole episode? How about 90 percent of a season? CanHouses roller-coaster year mental institution! be declared a success based on a whopper of a closer? Image Credit: Adam Taylor/Fox I give it a sternmaybe. I pretty much hated this episode until the Huddy scene at the end. Hugh Laurie was great, of course, and the drama of him relapsing is rich for exploration. Thats a sweeps episode ofGreys Anatomy, notHouse....
Warning: Stop reading if you havent seen last nightsHouse. Holy bait and switch, Batman! You dont recall him making such a threat? I think they are wary about getting into too much relationship stuff. Its a procedural show at its core. Thats why people like it. Thats why I like to watch it. You wont see Chase and Cameron making a home and having babies and other greeting card stuff....
Is he throwing a tantrum? Engaging in a moment of self-castigation? But for some reason, stupid isnt coming outAmericanenough to the British star. Credit: PHOTOGRAPH BY JAKE CHESSUM It just doesnt sound right, he says. The camera rolls, the director calls Action! Again, to the untrained ear, Lauries stupid sounds about as Yankee as baseball. Nope, one more time. The accent is the most frustrating thing for me, Laurie says later....
SPOILER ALERT: DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ONHOUSELAST NIGHT. Fox has set up a Kutner memorial page it’s possible for you to visithere. It includes a montage video of Kutner moments backed by music composed by Laurie. Credit: Adam Taylor/Fox Its very nice, if a bit antithetical to the artistic ideas behindHouse. I also liked a lot of the dialogue. Its not my loss, said House abruptly....
Is there a major bro-storm brewing? They didnt start the episode on bad terms, though. But let me back up. Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBS His job was anything but a dream. (Sometimes for fun we throw reams of paper at each other, Marshall confessed.) (He went to ask The Captain to put the offer back on the table.) Marshall eventually got her to realize she had to take advantage of the massive opportunity shed been given....
Because more and more I see the gang preparing forreallife in some pretty profound ways. (Real life = when every day seems filled with eights and higher.) Tonights Who Wants to be a Godparent? Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBS for example, dealt with death, specifically Lily and Marshalls. They began to wonder what would happen to Marvin if they ever werent around to take care of him. Who would teach him lifes important lessons?...
Which brings us to last nights season 4 finale, aptly titled Take the Leap. Take the Leap takes place on Teds infamous, goat-attended 31st birthday party. And Ted, being the perennial good guy that he is, gave Barney his blessing. (Ted pointed out that Marshall has had trouble getting off the couch lately.) There were a few things I really loved about this part of the episode. But, what struck me most about this was its authenticity of New York....
