House, MD 5x14 "The Greater Good" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From TV.com:

A former cancer researcher collapses in the middle of a cooking class, and the team are forced to reevaluate their own lives when they learn she gave up a promising career to seek personal happiness. Meanwhile, Thirteen suffers adverse reactions from the clinical trials, and Cuddy gives House a dose of his own medicine.

"I'm a doctor ... and I need a doctor."

Not the most inventive of lines but an interesting way to start the show.

AND we get Cuddy's Revenge - I presume - right off the bat.

 

[Trekker4747]

"No, Dr. House just has very loose interpretations of hospital procedure."



And, I'm sorry, but I'm always surprised at how stunning OW is.

Heyyy.... Foreman is played by Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin!!!!!

They stole my idea of waking up in bed with a hot drooling Olivia Wilde

Surprising as it may be, I did think of it independently.

She looks like she's going to hurl and then pass out and she's still drop-dead gorgeous!

 

[Dorian Thompson]

I love how they're all so condescending that they can't imagine anyone wanting to be a chef instead of a doctor. Assholes.

Yeah, I thought that very same thing about Mike Tomlin last night.

 

[nx1701g]

Back when Tomlin was announced as the new coach last year I remember thinking he reminded me of someone.

This whole angle of House "taking Cuddy away from her baby" is off the mark. Cameron quit on her own through no real fault of House's.

 

[Trekker4747]

We've Olivia Wilde, Lisa Edelstein and Jennifer Morisson on this show and HUGH LAURIE is the one showing us some leg?!

 

[Trekker4747]

Ok, fair warning, NO ONE do an image search for Omar Epps with the safeties off.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Virile males showing the skin is the way it should be. House's female demo rules. Get used to it.

Good to see Taub in a rather heart-felt scene with is wife. It's nice to know their marriage is still intact or at least seems to be.

And kudos to the doctor-no-longer-a-doctor (Miller) gently making a solid point with Wilson.

 

[Trippy]

Ewww...I've heard of 'picking your brain' but that's crazy!

I liked that scene as well. The guest star is great. At least with Wilson, it seemed more like genuine concern for patients than a class judgment like it did with the others. Finally, 13 makes some sense for once by telling Foreman he's nuts for doing that for someone he's been dating two weeks.

Seriously, does anyone buy that shit with Foreman? I sure don't. He wouldn't risk his damn license for anyone, much less a new girlfriend. The story is still stupid.

EDIT--Wouldn't you already be dying of infection if you scratched through to your BRAIN???

House: "Man, it's tough out here for a pimp."

You guys are both nuts.... and I love it!

Ewww...I've heard of 'picking your brain' but that's crazy!

She could have given him a piece of her mind. Oh wait ....

Apparently the state-of-the-art glass-windowed patient roomed PPTH hasn't bought a new mop bucket since 1937.
