Hugh Laurie, House

This week in the season finale of Fox's House, the repercussions of what happened between House and Cuddy were, to say the least, unpredictable. Meanwhile, Cameron struggled to reassess her relationship with Chase. On with the recap!

THE CASE

"It's ... not ... me." So explains a patient apparently suffering from split-brain syndrome, in which the left and right spheres of his melon don't converse very well, if at all. The result: In mid-conversation, he'll fling a sourdough roll across a restaurant ... or slap his ... read more

This week on Fox's House, the most deductive doctor dealt with his most stubborn patient, as House went to extremes to diagnose and treat his hallucinations. Meanwhile, the team was left on its own to solve a medical mystery, and Cam and Chase reached an impasse.

THE PATIENT
A ballerina collapses during rehearsal, unable to breathe. Her lungs aren't inflating properly. House, thoroughly distracted by his Amber hallucinations, prescribes antibiotics to treat an infection not certain to exist. Because of an adverse reaction, the young woman's skin starts sloughing off. 

The team decides to do a scan of her heart, but they need it to keep still for the four-minute process. So stop it, suggests House. Using paddles, Chase ... read more

House

This week on House, a patient (guest star Mos Def) suffering from "locked-in syndrome" offers a literally unique point of view as he draws the interest of House & Co. Wilson, meanwhile, tries to solve a mystery of his own. A special episode calls for a special recap, so let's get on with it!

The patient's name is Lee, and for a long stretch, we only see and hear things from his hospital-bed vantage point. Lee, we learn, was riding his bike when an open car door got in his way. Was he simply unable to stop in time or was he utterly unable to stop in time? That becomes a question.

Lee's doctor is ready to write him off as brain dead and ... read more

House Episode Recap: "Not Cancer"

I couldn't help but equate the second episode of this season's House to the actual character Hugh Laurie plays and where it seems to be headed for the rest of the year.

From the very title of the episode "Not Cancer" to the tumultuous beginning of people dropping like flies that were not even swatted, this episode had me probably reading too much into things.
By this, I mean that Gregory House is falling apart without his friend Wilson around. And while watching, I felt like an old Beatles fan who searched for hidden meanings in their songs to find out if Paul really was dead or if John said cranberry sauce.

House Episode Recap: "Dying Changes Everything"

Dying changes everything.

Except Dr. Gregory House.

The diagnostic master of Princeton/Plainsboro Hospital is once again at his dismissive and manipulative best as Season Five begins.

Just when you thought maybe the guilt over Amber's death at the end of last season would take over his conscience and cleanse his heart, House emerges eight weeks later in television time even more belligerent than before. It is clear right from the outset that his brief rendezvous with Amber in a fictional heaven during last year's cliffhanger did nothing to tame his pill-popping soul.

Welcome to part one of the shocking season finale of House I have to say tonights episode was a-mazing It doesnt follow the conventional format that were used to with House and his team focusing their energies on diagnosing a patients puzzling ailment Instead it focuses on House himself and a crazy adventure through his mindTonights episode starts out with a very disoriented and confused House at a strip joint getting a lap danceexcept he cant figure out how he got there After ruling out that a drunken stupor was the cause he stumbles upon some blood and realizes he has retrograde amnesia from a concussion He leaves the bar to see chaos around an overturned bus he was a passenger on but the real mystery begins when House has a flashback And all he can remember is he noticed a key symptom in one of those passengers before it overturned and that person will die if he cant remember who or what it was Someone is going to die unless I find them Struggling t read more

Tonights episode didnt follow the normal House format where Patient X mysteriously falls ill and is brought into Princeton-Plainsboro under Houses care Instead the featured patient arrived by town car as opposed to an ambulance and House was the chauffeur Turns out the good doc was worried his favorite daytime soap star Evan Greer guest star Jason Lewis better known as SATCs Smith to millions of women across the world had been suffering from a brain tumor and took it upon himself to kidnap the celeb to run some tests How he was able to determine anything based on this guys acting is beyond us but this is House were talking about here is it notWhatever you do dont assume House went out of his way to save a mans life Oh no because if that were the case that would have involved some form of caring All he was concerned about was if Evan were to die then so would his favorite actor Broc and he just couldnt have that Evan agrees to one vision tes read more
