Somebody PLEASE get Robert Sean Leonard an Emmy and soon! He can convey such emotion and significance with an economy of facial movement and vocal inflection.

Indeed, but Hugh Laurie needs to get one first. ;)
Oh definitely.

But RSL does deliver his emotions well.

Solution - Give Laurie the Best Actor, give RSL the Best Supporting Actor.

Well, true and idealy that's how it would work. But I'd rather "campaign" for one over the other. ;)
 
Okay... I missed the bit about the locker. What'd House pull out of there?
 
I'm torn on this one. I liked the patient and I especially loved her scene with Wilson. His pain over Amber's death was something we've needed to see for a long time now. I also enjoyed House's scenes with 13 and Foreman. However, those scenes without House were just a bore. I've no vested interest in 13's survival and if she dies I really don't care.

Cuddy's revenge was funny but they needed to go into that a little bit more for me to buy the plot.

I'm going with Above Average just for the Wilson scene.
 
Average from me. I hate 13 centric epidsodes...no scratch that...I hate 13! I could care less about her.

Amber was more fun!
 
I thought the episode sucked besides the quote about being on your death bed for only one day, and the song at the end.
 
Never found Amber attractive. I dunno, something about her face.

She was a bitch-face.

Sher had an OK, body though. But as I've said plenty of times before on this board, I'm not big into blondes.

I've edited in the PD Medical Review link in the OP -having forgotten to originally put it there.
 
People aren't saying they liked the character because of her looks. At least I don't think so. It seems more to me as her nature as an interesting character. Someone with attitude and ability, especially when it came to standing up to House himself.

See, I didn't like her character either -at least not before she started seeing Wilson- as House correctly pointed out she was a cut-throat bitch. She wasn't in it for helping people (like Cameron and to some degree Forman) or for solving the puzzle (like House) but just for her own benefit.

She was a cut-throat bitch and I didn't like her character until she started dating Wilson. If she has been one of the three House/the show creators picked to be on full time, I'm not sure I would've been "supportive" of it. As it stands, though, they used her very, very, well and her death was one of the most powerful moments in the series and did make me feel for her.

So she was used quite well, IMHO. But I didn't really like her character during the Survivor/Medical Fellowship Idol plot.
 
She wasn't someone I'd like to have lunch with, but I liked the story abilities her character brought to the show and the way she was used.
 
See I always liked Amber. She reminded me of some of the people I grew up with and have competed with for jobs.

Really? I think they use rather shit songs on House. I guess I'm spoiled by all the kick ass songs on Supernatural, The Shield, Brotherhood and The Sopranos. Now those shows know how to use music!
