    Did they ever explain House's hallucinations? I feel like they just kind of wrote that off by implying that he's taking new meds.

    I also really hope that his psychiatrist (I seriously can't remember the character or actor's name) stays in the show. He was a strong character.
    Don't know his name, but he's indeed great. I'm majorly remember him from the show Thief a few years back. It was a cool mini-series. And I think he was in the movie Poseidon, though I didn't watch it.

    As for the hallucinations, I'm not sure. I think it had something to do with how he was dealing with the deaths, and the meds were making it worse. Not really sure.

    I enjoyed this episode. It was like a little movie. I was touched. The writing was clever too.

    I did find myself second guessing everything for awhile because I thought it could be House's hallucination! I agree I want the head psychologist to come back he's cool. I like how House's character developed! I don't know if that will make him less cantakerous though, because that part is funny. I did like his slightly less hostile sarcasm though.

    I was sort of expecting the relationship to end because I would think it would be awkward if German-chick just swung by the hospital with Cuddy around and while House was supposed to be saving patient lives. Maybe this episode will open House up into having a relationship with Cuddy finally! I can't wait until his co-workers experience House's new attitude.

    As much as I adore asshole!House, that hug with his roommate at the end was just extremely touching. Oh, and the face plant in the cake was epic, too. It was definitely nice to see a different side of what Laurie's character is capable of, but I'm kind of wary about him changing his ways. I don't think he will too drastically. He'll always be somewhat sarcastic, but who knows about the trusting people and being vulnerable thing.

    We'll see.

    I loved the episode, because it leads me to think that we'll now get to see a new sort of House, brilliant yet not broken

    The way he kept making himself miserable and pushing everyone away was starting to get to me, at one point it was like he was doing it on purpose so he could mope around complaining about it later

    Although I didn't like how the episode ended, I thought it was a nice touch for things not to work out between him and the German woman. It showed that House could make himself vulnerable, get hurt, and learn how to move on. If things had turned out favorably for him, he wouldn't have learned that lesson.

    It'll be good to see how that experience changed him. I don't think he'll be any less sarcastic and egotistical, so hopefully the show won't lower itself to melodrama.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    What will change from House is that we'll see a more composed House. His motivations and reasons for doing some things will change. But other than that, he'll be the same asshole he's always been. He'll just screw people over, and be happy about it.

    I think he will be. I think this episode was a tool used to get him to break down and reveal a new House to us.

    I don't think he'll be an asshole anymore. To be honest I think he'll be a lot nicer to everyone. Otherwise what was the point of him getting so bad that he broke. I'm wondering if people will be disappointed if/when he isn't a douche anymore. Aren't you people getting sick of him being that way? I was. And to everyone thinking that "ooh no it's a part of his personality, yeah he can be a genius and still be nice. Watch it'll work.

    Lol, i called it the moment he posted the case online

    I'm happy it turned out this way, having foreman as the boss was refreshing but the name of the show is House after all

    I'm looking forward to seeing if his new attitude is gonna change his process

    PS: Damn, 13 looks good in a bikini

  10. #150
    Yeah, it was quite obvious that House was going to work on the case once the online plot device was introduced. I myself really liked the episode, and I'm glad the psychiatrist is still around.

    House will be back, but I'm sure Foreman is still boss... so we'll see how it goes.

    So nosejob quit and 13 got fired... will that stick with House returning?

    You missed that episode? More like you missed the final handful of episodes of last season considering that he commited suicide and it was a major plot point that fueled House's illucinations.

    First episode started out dumb. House doesn't need to stay in a mental hospital. Any competent psychiatrist would have sent him home once he recovered from his withdrawals and referred him to another good psychiatrist.

    Also, it's extremely fucked up to put a mental patient in solitary confinement just because he's being "difficult". Mental institutions aren't jails, and they aren't supposed to punish sick people.

    Sex and talent show was okay though.

    Watching the next one. That VR intro was lame. And "the code is kind of janky"? Seriously? Fox is too lame.

    I thought throwing him in solitary confinement was pretty disturbing myself. It doesn't work in prison either.

    I was half-immersed in homework at the time, exactly what did House accomplish sticking that guy's arm in the box with the mirror?

    My guess is, it had something to doi with his nerves/muscles finally unclenching after being like that for 36 years. He tricked his brain into "letting go" of the kids arm.

    It's an actual treatment that is used to treat Phantom Limb pain. Takes more than 2 minutes to do, though.

    Mirror Box treatment

    The patient places his or her good limb into one side, and the stump into the other. The patient then looks into the mirror on the side with good limb and makes "mirror symmetric" movements, as a symphony conductor might, or as we do when we clap our hands. Because the subject is seeing the reflected image of the good hand moving, it appears as if the phantom limb is also moving. Through the use of this artificial visual feedback it becomes possible for the patient to "move" the phantom limb, and to unclench it from potentially painful positions.

    Tonight's episode was nuts. Nice little patient of the week story going on, but I love how the Dibala thing is becoming such an issue for Chase. I can't wait for it to come to a head.

    Also the last scene made me get teary-eyed.
