House M.D. - The Itch - 11/11/2008

[ScubaCat]

So does someone want to explain to me why he didn't kill the mosquito?

[Marc]

Given that Wilson had related the whole bug bite to House not dealing with his kiss with Cuddy, I think that letting it go was supposed to be symbolic that he was acknowledging his feelings for Cuddy and that's why he headed over to her home.

[ScubaCat]

Thanks. I was hoping it was something more than that, but I guess not.

I don't think I could let a mosquito loose in my home like that.

Anyone care to say the last part of the show? Even with 1 min added on (as it was fine two weeks ago with 1 min when I had 2 set I bumped back down to 1) I got House turning away from Cuddy's and agoraphob guy getting to the public sidewalk.

that was basically it, as well as Cameron and Chase getting back together, at her place.

Which brings me to the point, I hated last night's episode.

Cameron is nice to look at, but the turned her annoying habit of rescuing puppies to 11. She needs to be gone.

Foreman, useless as always, even his diagnosis this whole season are nothing more than Lupus.

Chase..good background character, but I don't care to know more about him.

Thirteen...she was not given a chance this episode or pretty much the last few..she is fading out. (except for the one episode)

Taub..he is still sort of interesting

Kutner...potential for character development

Wilson and Cuddy, the team dynamic is still there


I think it was the fact that Cameron was brought back in such a prominent way. It really bothered me.

Thought it was a brilliant episode (leaving aside the ridiculous idea of sending a whole team to treat someone in his home - how much did THAT cost the hospital?). It really brought into focus that House can cure everybody except himself. That his cutting remarks actually move people off the dime and improve their lives (Cuddy's acceptance of losing the baby, Cameron & Chase back together, 13 getting her test for he fatal disease, Taub back with his wife, the agoraphobe out on the street, etc.). Yet he can't seem to ring that doorbell at Cuddy's house or stop abusing his pain medication.

For the love of all that's holy in the universe, can the writer's put a moratorium on having one of the underlings suggest amyloidosis???

Foreman suggested lupus? I don't remember that, but then again I was focused on amyloidosis.

[Einselen]

Lupus talk reminds me of this shirt:

No he didn't suggest lupus, but he might as well have. His speaking parts don't add anything to character development. They don't add anything to episode development most of the time.

He did choose to do "both tests" though. He was sort of a fill in for Cuddy when Cuddy couldn't be involved since they kissed, I guess.

[ElJay]

Cameron is so stupid. That character is painful to watch.

[Worf]

The "It could be lupus" thing stopped early in the 4th season after House really got a case of lupus ("I finally get a case of lupus"). The new trick is finding out what the new lupus is on House.

amiloidosis and sarcoidosis are the ones I hear the most. Reminds me of when house hid something (pills?) in a book under lupus because it never was lupus.
