House: 7x02 "Selfish" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Christopher]

That being said, does anyone else think it's a bit odd we haven't heard House and Cuddy refer to each other as Greg and Lisa?

Not for these characters. Heck, even Wilson calls him House, and vice versa.

Did not even recognize her.

I noticed right away, but my wife disagreed with me so vehemently that I thought I was mistaken!

I'm kinda glad I was right.

interesting medial mystery, and i too liked that the brother stood up and made the right decision, touching episode, i almost got teary eyed to be honest, what a sad thing really

Oh, I got teary eyed at the end - no almost there.

But I think there's no right or wrong in the decision of the brother - it was perhaps the most sensible of all bad options...

Yeah, this one did have a touch of that good old style, but I found the relationship stuff pretty icky.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that the mom of the POTW ("Claire") was played by Stephanie Courtney who, despite many film, TV & stage credits, is probably best known as "Flo" from the Progressive Insurance commercials. Wish she'd had more to do...

I found this to be a bit Old school House too. Loved the scene where Cuddy put her hand on his crotch to prove to Wilson they were having a relationship. Fun to watch however I am curious to see where they take this since they did the "how do House and Cuddy work together as a couple?" episode and seemed to have wrapped up that question a bit soon.

She WAS?

Yup. Agreed on the "old school."

The scene had in Wilson's office had me in stitches. I was watching it while eating and just made a mess of everything.

Ditto!! It was excellent, and both Edelstein and Laurie delivered it perfectly. And Leonard was appropriately flummoxed.

A thoroughly excellent episode, one that I enjoyed more than I expected to. I think folks here have crystalized why. It felt just like earlier season.
