Ahem, sorry.

I'm so glad I'm going to see this episode before I leave.

Edit: More Lucas? Booooo!

Can't wait to see if House's "You're fired" (in the preview) was for real or part of some sort of manipulative ploy.

Agent Richard07 · October 21 2008, 09:56 PM

Did we know that 13 was into women? I don't remember. In any case, this should be good based on the preview I saw.

"Pentouse Forum meets medical mystery!" - Dr. House

Can I give it an 'Excellent' now?

Emh · October 21 2008, 10:41 PM

Yes, we did. It came up a couple of times last season.

Agent Richard07 · October 21 2008, 11:19 PM

^ I'm surprised that I'd forget a detail like that.

This whole thing has me thinking of something Megan Fox said in the October 2008 issue of GQ Magazine...

"I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl -- Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing."

I think she would have done the episode.

Yeah, I think we learned this in the episode where House treats a hasidic Jewish woman in the series' Winter closer. The result of that case had the woman's liver "detached" from it's place. (Whenever she stood up her kidney would "fall" in her abodmen causing medical problems. House wanted to X-Ray her to confirm.

House asked Thirteen (already suspecting she was bi) "You do it both ways, right?"

"Huh?!"

"You'll X-Ray her sitting up and standing to confirm it, right?"

There were only a couple of very brief sideways comments in passing, but that's about it.

Intresting beginning to tonight's episode. At least we got that part out of hte way.

Humor quotient is up - in reference to Wilson: "He's either working for Hirohito or the New England Patriots."

Trekker4747 · October 22 2008, 01:32 AM

I'm still watching the opening 30 seconds of the episode.

I just keep rewinding it and rewinding it over and over.

I think my DVR is broke.

House is being pretty brutal to 13. But then he usually has a backup motivation to such tactics. Maybe he's taking the tough road with her, to get her to snap out of this death spiral. Yeah, not sure I belive it either.

Wilson... is understandably vulnerable but also apparently not thinking too clearly. prostitute who says she wants to go to law school?

OTOH, WIlson is not stupid....

Has Robert Sean Leonard ever received at least a nomination for his work on this show? The wya this season is starting he darn well better be!

Sheep · October 22 2008, 01:51 AM

Anyone else hoping for a Megan Fox appearance on House?

http://www.bittenandbound.com/2008/0...oxs-hot-crush/

Men are not the only ones hot for Olivia Wilde. Megan Fox has a serious girl-on-girl crush for the 24 year-old actress.

“I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl — Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing,” Fox said in an interview with GQ magazine.

<--West coaster so tonight's episode is still a few hours away.

Neroon · October 22 2008, 01:56 AM

Sheep.... yeah, I think B007 said that as well.

Oh yes!!! Wilson is playing House AND us.

That's what I get for not reading most of the later posts to avoid spoilers!
