House 6x06 - "Brave Heart" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

This is the last episode before a 2-week long break (for the World Series?)

A dying patient insists that he has the same disease affecting his heart that killed his father and grandfather at the age of 40. Meanwhile, House discovers that he has a hearing problem while trying to duck student rounds.

Medical Reviews

Vicodin abuse can lead to hearing problems, so House's hearing loss should be no surprise.

ETA- the playoff game just went into extra innings. Think we may not get House tonight.

I like how all fleeing criminals these days are Extreme Runners.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Ha ha, Wilson caught House choking the bishop. "UGH!"

 

[UssGlenn]

good thing this was delayed, I forgot to turn on the TV at 7.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Uh-oh, Chase is having flashbacks.

I think Old House is back already, playing tricks on residents while doing rounds.

POTW is a jerk.

 

[Agent Richard07]

Nice ending.

 

[Amberfool]

I liked it, good Chase storyline, not too much Forman, some good House & Wilson, a bit of Cuddy and a mildly interesting case with a sweet ending.

 

[Kira's Mom]

^No spoilers, please! We're delayed on the East Coast because of the baseball playoffs.

Is House hallucianting again?

 

[UssGlenn]

too bad they gave that away in the preview

[Kira's Mom]

I knew it was coming, but I still jumped.

Aw, poor Wilson.

 

[Trekker4747]

Aha Moment!

 

[Kira's Mom]

Button!

That was excellent. I loved the ending!

 

[Trekker4747]

That was a pretty good episode.

I'd give it an excelent.

 

[The Fatman]

My DVR only got about 15 minutes of the episode due to goddamn baseball.

Why oh why can't my cable-company DVR be half as smart as a TiVo?

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Awwww, Wilson. He breaks my heart. At least the writers FINALLY got a clue that House/Wilson is the character interaction they need to focus on. It makes the show worthwhile.

God @#$%ing dammit! I had to be out at a family dinner tonight and unfortunately the DVR didn't know about the stupid baseball game, so I don't know what time House started, but needledss to say I didn't get all of it. Goddamned baseball game!

It started around a quarter-till, 45 minutes late.

I liked it overall. The POTW was fairly conventional, but that's par for the course for most episodes I think. I like the show best when it folds the patient and the team drama together and juxtaposes them in interesting ways. This one didn't do that quite so much, so the best parts for me were where we got away from the patient. I loved House's line at the end: "Wilson! This is stupid!"
