House, M.D.

keep waiting for the day Stephen Fry guests.

Season finale was such a stupid dud. The past two have been really well-crafted, intricate interpersonal stories that departed in an exciting way from the normal format. This one just had a lot of really embarrassing fake accents, retarded and impossible medicine, and then kiss goodbye to half the main characters for no reason. WTF.

Yeah, and House seemed to be OK with it, so there's no I-wonder-what-he'll-do-to-get-them-back anticipation for the next season. Shark jumped?

Stephen Fry becomes medical assistant; supplanted by comical chimpanzee assistant doctor 8 episodes in.

I wonder if they did that because some of the cast members are renegotiating their contracts or leaving for real, or if it's all just another red herring. House is increasingly feeling like one of those shows where entire episodes are built around anything that can seem 'shocking' in a 30-second teaser ad.

I just watched a DVD of some early episodes -- my first viewings of the show -- and I love how all the Britishers think that Laurie's accent is bad while all the Americaners, myself included, had no idea he wasn't born-n-bred in the US.

HOUSE!! Abbott - HOUSE!!

I KNOW I AM FLIPPING OUT HERE. I have been geexing on Hugh Laurie interviews for the past three hours – guy's got the depression, makes me wanna give him a hug even more.

36 minutes to launch.

Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron) is on the cover of Modern Bride er summat this month smiling her not-smile. She's marrying the guy who plays Chase---whole photo spread on the inside of Ralph-Laurened-out Chase looking like he's going to tackle the world in love and glee and there's Jennifer in her strapless gown, looking like an unfriendly cat coming out of anesthesia.

(NB I just saw this mag in the grocery checkout line, I'm not running some House Gallery & Gossip geocities site.)

They broke up! pssst - Sign me up for your site emails. ;-)

WAHT they broke up on the show or IRL? Bcz they are engaged IRL and I would love to see egg on the botoxed face of Modern Bride magazine. I fucking hate bridal magazines.

In Real Life!! It happened a couple weeks ago. I hate them too. The wedding industrial complex is scary.

Episode was alright - next week's looks like a lot more fun though

I'm not running some House Gallery & Gossip geocities site

lol

it was "geocities site" that did it for me

Did anyone else think the bizarre new color to Wilson's personality might play out nicely in the future? He'd been becoming a serious downer for a long time.

Cuddy looks like she's been hitting the gym-totally smoking

Lisa Edelstein has always been way hot (or has a "zesty bod," in the parlance of House).

Agreed-for some reason she looked even hotter last night.

"I don't negotiate with terrorists" *deletes telenovelas*

I don't get the love for this show at all.

so i missed this, is the rest of the cast actually gone and not returning?

I really seriously doubt any of them aren't coming back. In fact I think I've seen some of them make public statements about going back to work on the new season recently. More likely the first handful of episodes this season will be without them just 'mix things up' or whatever.

The full cast is returning, but instead of being on House's team they'll be heading teams of their own (or so says my mom, who read that someplace).

hmmmmm dunno about this new sidekick to-be girl they've set up. on the other hand, "yr eyes are lopsided. and by eyes i mean breasts."

did i read correctly that kumar of 'harold and' fame is gonna be in this now too?? that could also suck. or be cool, i dunno.

Yeah giving his old team their own teams could be alright, but if they're just going to put a new Cameron-type girl on House's team it'll be lame. But this show has already proved itself willing and eager to throw plausibility and character development out the window for an exciting "next week on House" promo. I give it at most 2 more seasons before they do something so ridiculous it gets hard to watch anymore.

I thought the reason to watch this show was the escalating ridiculousness!
