On the HOUSE section of the FOX website it says: <BR/><BR/>"FROZEN" REPEAT<BR/>Double-dose of House on Friday night, with "Failure to Communicate" at 8/7c and then the post-Super Bowl episode at 9/8c!<BR/><BR/>It doesn't have a date, just says Friday. But then what they have listed in the "schedule" section of the FOX website doesn't jibe with that.

They really need to amp those characters up if they want them to be interesting at all. <BR/><BR/>So surprised to see CTB as Wilson's girlfriend. That should make for an interesting dynamic, and at the same time makes me think that we'll be seeing more Wilson in the upcoming episodes, which is always a good thing.<BR/><BR/>With more Wilson, less cottages, and House showing both his softer and lecherous sides, this was darn near a perfect episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-63126084921863581372008-02-04T23:20:00.000-05:002008-02-04T23:20:00.000-05:00Thanks, sr!

I don't think they proposed any diagnoses till the very end. Interesting that Foreman knew not to go with them to spy on Cameron. Another sign of House's trust and respect for him. Foreman's like the postdoc on a research group.<BR/><BR/>Very interesting look from Sorvino at the end when she was getting hugged. Was she wanting to tell House she was sorry?<BR/><BR/>Mo Ryan also wrote, "Wonder what would happen if she did ever turn up in person at the hospital. House would probably just shut her down with endless quips, embarrassed at the transparency of his attraction for the webcam version of her."<BR/><BR/>I don't know if he'd be embarrassed, but he'd definitely shoot her down. The only reason he felt so open towards her was because she was so far away. If she was in the hospital, he probably would have just gotten frustrated. I would have liked it if they spent more time building Sorvino's character up before establishing House's crush.<BR/><BR/>I'm just glad Cutthroat Bitch is back!afogliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820361829972093800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-32268079743770482832008-02-04T19:55:00.000-05:002008-02-04T19:55:00.000-05:00Cheesy?

Generally, we'd expect to hear about this kind of news by now, but who really knows in this strike year?<BR/><BR/>Also, I think the show might work as an ER-style medical ensemble show. We have our original three cottages, the present three cottages, Cuddy, Wilson, and now potentially CTB. That's nine characters--plenty to keep things interesting.<BR/><BR/>I'd be disappointed, but I'd probably still watch, especially if Laurie were just in a lesser role. And why else would Chase and Cameron still be around if they're not going to have an expanded role someday?Byron Hauckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781238264572019596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-29637925890207451522008-02-04T18:01:00.000-05:002008-02-04T18:01:00.000-05:00So we have Fox showing us the dangers of wind powe...So we have Fox showing us the dangers of wind power with the accident right at the beginning?<BR/><BR/>What's next?

If it's winter in Princeton (as it was, there was snow in an establishing shot) that means it's summer in the Antarctic, so it should be the time of year when people can get in and out."<BR/><BR/>The isolation was due to a windstorm, which can happen any time of the year. Besides, there has been at least one emergency plane flight in winter.<BR/><BR/>I generally don't care for guest stars who can unwrap all the mysteries a main character keeps hidden from his colleagues, but between the writing and Sorvino's performance I didn't mind it here at all. Though my favorite bit was actually a nice insight about Wilson; that his friendship with House doesn't indicate the latter is nicer than people think, but that Wilson is meaner.<BR/><BR/>So earlier this year we all worried about the arrival of Michael Michelle and she turned into a two-episode red herring; then we groaned about Dudek's leaving and she's brought back. Seems the showrunners are better at playing us than I thought.<BR/><BR/>Excellent all around, I thought. As mrglass points out, they've shaken up the formula with this format enough it's become formulaic on its own, but it's still an entertaining change of pace.Bruce Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771574237432340308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-227501201481949292008-02-04T16:15:00.000-05:002008-02-04T16:15:00.000-05:00"That was a great episode, but they shouldn't have..."That was a great episode, but they shouldn't have had it both ways with her -- either she's unprepared to practice clinical medicine, or she's the only doctor in an Antarctic station, fixing slashed arteries."<BR/><BR/>House was mocking her, but she seemed to be a competent doctor.

But each time there was a second patient, at Princeton.<BR/><BR/>I wish they could do one episode completely outside of the teaching hospital, with House alone or maybe helped by just Wilson.Mrglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904825729610838862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-44935933445619523312008-02-04T14:55:00.000-05:002008-02-04T14:55:00.000-05:00I think Tuesday is the last pre-strike episode.We ...I think Tuesday is the last pre-strike episode.<BR/><BR/>We were cheering when CTB made her reappearance.
