Dr.Gregory House

“I teach you to lie, cheat, and steal, and as soon as my back's turned you wait in line?”

“Like I always say, there's no "I" in team. There's a "me" though, if you jumble it up.”

“So what's your plan? You take the big dark one, I'll take the little girl, and the Aussie will run like a scared wombat if things get tough.”

[Houses' patient has just collapsed] "This is exactly why I created nurses. Clean up on aisle three!”

"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."

"You talk to God, you're religious; God talks...

House Season 1 Episode 13: Cursed

Full Recap

In a dusty attic, a young boy, Gabriel trips as he gets together with some other boys for a club. They start playing with an Ouija board and when asked who will die in a year, it "spells" out Gabe's name. A week or so later, Gabe comes down with a fever then collapses. He's taken to the clinic where House suspects pneumonia, particularly since Gabe's parents are major donors to the clinic. Signs of a rash suggest something else and they suspect ticks or any sexual activity. It soon becomes clear that the father is a bit of a control freak and the parents...

It's really to bad that season four was cut short by the writers strike, if it hadn't been I think we would have been able to gain a much greater insight into House and Wilson's characters and their relationship with each other. However, we can't dwell on what we missed out on - instead we have to make the most of the time we had to learn.

AMBER: Amber was a very intelligent woman who would do anything to achieve whatever she set her mind on. House wasn't far off in calling her a manipulative bitch - but it's how she got the job done. She knew people didn't like her and compensated by feeling...

Since the beginning of season 4 of 'House MD', fans and television critics alike have been questioning the show's story structure and direction. There have been some significant changes to the show's cast, character development and episode structure. Some of these changes were well-received, while others still anger fans. Here, I want to assess some of these issues, with the aim of defending and promoting critical analysis of a show that many fans are now abandoning.


The Spring Clean of Season 4

At the end of season 3, Chase, Cameron and Foreman were removed from the main cast, and season 4...

House Season 1 Episode 7: Fidelity

Full Recap

After a morning jog with his friend, a man named Ed returns home to find his spouse sick in bed. Elyce has remained there for days. At the hospital, Cameron tells House that the patient has been sleeping 18 hours a day, but the tests don't reveal anything.

House and his team go through the possibilities -- Depression? Parasites? House orders new blood work and another MRI. After more testing, Elyce is told that there is no answer to her neurological problems. She goes into seizures.

House starts to suspect breast cancer. He also inquires about Elyce's...

"You slept with this patient's relative?" Wilson asked incredulously.
House twirled his cane as he continued to stare down at a stain on the floor.
"Yes...The real question you're wondering is how in a mental hospital did I pull that off." House said finally looking up to meet his best friend's gaze.
Wilson shook his head and stood up from the sofa.
"I don't need the logistics...I'm gonna get us some food." He said as he picked up his coat and began walking toward the door.
"You're not even a little curious to why I slept with her or why I liked her at all. I mean, you're usually not shy about...

1. A 40-year-old/40-year-old relationship is unnatural, because everyone knows that you must be screwing someone half your age to be accepted in normal society. That is the first argument of why Huddy, is, for completely un-shallow reasons, wrong.

2. Cuddy is so, totally like Stacey (Like a friggin' carbon copy), therefore their relationship will lead to one huge train wreck and will not last.

3. Because being bitter, miserable, and self-loathing is House's character and personality and it will be sooooooo O-C-C for him to be in a healthy relationship because like everyone knows, he's never...

Huddy?

The previous episode House and Cuddy kissed. They are now purposefully avoiding each other unbeknownst to Wilson; who was trying to figure out what has happened.

Wilson walks into House’s office—with a plan to get some information out of him before he talks to Cuddy.

Wilson: Hey.

House: Hey.

Wilson: Have you seen Cuddy at all this past week?

House: Err. Sure.

Wilson: She was a wreck last week—and now all of a sudden she is, fine.

House: Life altering decisions can do that to some people.

Wilson: Also. You two have been avoiding each other like the plague.

(Wilson sat down opposite...
