House 6x03 - "Epic Fail" - Discussion and Spoilers
- Thread starter Trekker4747
- Start date
Not sure. It was announced earlier that Cameron was leaving, but now I'm starting to wonder if that was just to distract us from the other two leaving this week.
I hope not though. They were really starting to grow on me. Especially 13. I never hated her like others here, but she seemed EXTRA likable this week for some reason, and I'd love to see more of that.
We don't know about them both. We do know that one is simply being reassigned to other duties at the hospital though. Since Taub left to work on the surgical service of a friend it's probably safe to assume that Thirteen's getting moved to another job.
Is this really the place for that?
I vote Average. The medical mystery just isn't as good without House involved and the CGI MMO scenes were too much. The scenes with House and Wilson were good, however, as well as the scenes with House becoming a genius cook.

Why the rolleyes? It's true -- Kal Penn was offered a job in the Obama Administration and decided to take it, and so his character was written off.
Or, you could say that Kutner killed himself because Obama won.
Please... no one ever leaves for good unless they get a job from Obama.

I thought he was making a joke against-Obama, I had forgotten about Penn leaving to work with/for Obama.
Rated it "good". The House/Wilson moments were the saving grace, and I loved how House got the reward check at the end. This was pretty much a filler episode to legitimize getting him back in the game. It will happen soon, and I'm glad he's still going back for conversations with the shrink - makes it look like he's trying to stick with it and not go back to his old ways. However, I'm predicting a rude awakening for Foreman when he gets back. Two doclings in one day? House is gonna be pissed.
I agree that the episode spent too much time on 'Fourteen', and very little on House himself. Despite the fact he is the main character, he was not on screen much this time.
I know he's got a serious addiction, but anyone else think it's a little harsh to make House suffer through his leg pain with nothing but ibuprophen and a few hobbies?
It just seems weird how characters on the show are always trying to downplay the real, physical pain that's driving him to this. It can't all be in his head, can it?

No, it works for most people, it should work for him too.
The problem with House isn't that he took opiates -- it's that he proved, time and again, that he was unable to take them responsibly, developing severe mental and physiological addictions to the pills and continuing to abuse them in light of increasing legal, physical and work-related complications that were arising as a direct result of the abuse.
At that point, just as an alcoholic needs to stay out of bars, a pedophile needs to stay away from children, a smoker needs to avoid cigarettes or a compulsive gambler needs to stay out of casinos, an opiate addict needs to stay away from the pills.
Voted good. House/Wilson and therapist were excellent. Too much naked Foreman though and, as cool as it was, they went overboard with the CGI stuff. Next week's episode looks good.
I vote "Good" because House's, Wilson's and Cuddy's stuff where great, the rest okay. My borther and I where laughing our asses of at the game stuff though. He's an aspiring game maker and we both play a lot and the suggestion that all that virtual reality stuff was going to work that well in a game and be economically feasible is laughable at this point in time. I mean, who are the customer, billionares?
Good to see House back still and trying at least to make a change. I just hope the writers have some sense and keep him off the Vicodin.

It made me wonder if I was watching House at the beginning of the episode, but the voices tipped me off. Still, I don't think it was too much, just the right amount. Then again, I admit I love video games.
Voted good. Foreman was predictably happy to take over House's job although he doesn't have the brains to replace him. I still remember the time when he quit and try to start a diagnostics department in another hospital only to miserably fail. And far too much screen time for Foreman.
My favorite parts, as usual, are the scenes with House and Wilson. And it was interesting to watch House's reasoning as he was saving Wilson's balls.

Forman actually solved the case he had while running his own department, in a very Housian/hunch fashion, but was fired by his boss for taking an unnecessary risk. So he faield only for not having the same weight House does to throw around -making him able to dangerous things or perform dangerous tests on hunches without getting fired.
House's leg pain isn't real. It's in his head. It's a mental thing that is why he took so many pills, to make his leg "stop hurting" but it didn't work because his leg isn't in pain, his head was telling him it was.
This is why he was fine so long as he wasn't bored. When he lost interest in something, he wanted to take the pills, but his brain's way of telling him to take the pills was to make his leg hurt.
This was why when he "cheated" and solved the case for 13, his leg didn't hurt anymore and Wilson and Cutty thought he was on the pills again.
His pain is mental not physical, and is brought on by boredom.

He also solved this case the same way, but house beat him to it online by a few hours. That's the thing, Forman is in the precursor level of being just like house, he just isn't fully there yet. Losing 13 could push him up to "that level" because she isn't distracting him anymore.
I agree. I was waiting for House to make a ball comment when wilson drew attention to it.
Ah, thanks for the reminder, I really have a bad memory
uh i thought it had been established house has real physical pain.
and guess what just because your mind can become focused on things for a time dosnt mean that the pain still isnt there .
it especially shows up when you try to sleep.
part of house's treatment should have been his going to a pain management doctor.
actually a large size teaching hospital like that should have its own pain management area.
