Yeah, but Sito then volunteered for a suicide mission, didn't she? 
House is seeing a shrink!
Great episode.
Great episode.
Fantastic, fantastic episode. Mos Def offered both hilarious and heartbreaking commentary. Was this a gimmicky episode? Maybe but it worked perfectly.
And House was great. We got some great insights into him and the fact that he saw a shrink, even once, shows progress. Of course, Wilson's parting shot just dug it in deeper. Perfect episode to an amazing episode.
I have to say that this season of House has really shaped up as of late. I think the writers realized they were going in the wrong direction and turned about. Next week's looks intriguing to say the least.

Once they stopped focusing on Thirteen the show improved markedly. Coincidence? I think not.

I agree. She was well used in this episode and I think she can be a good character if used right and not just a pawn in an incredibly stupid romance plot.

Oh I agree. They were focusing on Thirteen a bit much there for some time. But now she's being used quite well.
And, well, she's gorgeous.
Another better episode. Even though I immediately thought of M*A*S*H, and didn't want to see the whole hour filmed like that; the technique really gets annoying. Fortunately, they mixed it up without completely changing the tone.
House's vision blurred! I have to track down the preview for next week somewhere...

The episode was a rip off of the film "Le scaphandre et le papillon" (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) from 2007, at least in style.
The first half of the film and the first half of the episode were entirely seen from the locked-in's perspective.
For what it's worth, the film was better, not only style.
Where are they going with House? Does he get better in the end? Is that even desirable?
Ah, and here is the promo for next weeks (& 2nd last of this season) episode:

I can't stand such promos, all those titles/texts about "this is the episode..... you've been waiting for"(paraphrased) and so on.
But they have to leave you you wanting more, but nothing was said, for what I should wait. Is someone gonna die?

And that film was hardly the first to use the technique, so...
Thank you for posting the promo!
I'm not as literate in film history, but I can't remember seeing something like "le scaphandre et le papillon", with the first half being seen from only one perspective and with all the distortions, which were created physically on location and not on post for this film. I can think of one or two films using the pov of the protagonist for a while like in "The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar" for example.
It just felt strange seeing the same mechanism for a House episode, that's all. I enjoyed it like one can with House, but they should show Cuddy more, and what relationship they could have. I have seen only one House episode before the 5th season (which I have seen in its entirety til now), so I don't know what has already been done.
Wow, I've never posted that much on a Lost or BSG episode.
I'm off writing a book now with my eyelid then.
A first-person prespective is hardly a novel concept period.
I don't see why House's use, or any show's use, of it shoud be notworthy.

There was a classic Mike Hammer (think it was Hammer) film noir where the ENTIRE movie was first person perspective -- from the POV of Mike Hammer. The only time you saw his face was when he looked in a mirror (which they arranged to happen at odd moments).
It was very cool -- but it would get old if you saw more movies done that way.
