[spoiler]Supposedly House and Cuddy will do the deed before the season is over. I'm a Hameron fan, even though I like Cuddy.[/spoiler]

Next week's ep is the bachelor party! Road trip!

I rewatched last week's ep... the last 5 minutes where Chase proposed...and House sees a dead person.

There better be a reason to it. If not, I think it's just jumped the shark. At least Death Kitty was amusing.

That was one of the funniest eps ever!

OK, for some reason I did not enjoy last night's ep with wanton abandon like I normally do. I thought about it too much (bickered at the TV, too). The show has its moments, but I am growing weary of the dragging out of cases. It's just not plausible anymore. I know the premise of the show is to have House solve a medical mystery a la Sherlock Holmes, but the amount of mistakes he and the team are making is just incomprehensible. [spoiler]The ballerina's skin started coming OFF because of an antibiotic?! And no chastising from Cuddy? There's no lawsuit? THANK GOD House wasn't around to order Chase to go through with the amputation surgery when her fingers and toes started going gangrene. Go Taub.

How many times have the roads of diagnosis gone to brain drilling? 'We haven't drilled into the brain yet! Let's do that!'

This has been the show formula from the get-go, and it's probably only more apparent to me now that House has Dead Amber 'the Albatross' following him around everywhere. I can't say that I'm not enjoying some of Dead Amber's jokes, and Anne Dudek is playing Creepy something fierce, with a capital C. I don't know why I didn't connect Head Six/Head Baltar with it...weird.

The Cameron and Chase storyline is completely insane. Left field. I really have no idea why the actors are going along with it, especially since they got engaged and broke up in real life. I don't understand his willingness to put up with her and her ambivalence toward marriage. Marriage is taking a leap of faith because you don't know what the future will bring. If you don't want to take a leap of faith, then don't do it. Chase, get on with your life. Cameron, get a life.

The kissing was hot.

Maybe I just need to watch it again, cause some of it's going right over my head.[/spoiler]

I missed bits and pieces of it, but I did tell Gingi (who never watches tv):

[spoiler]okay, see how he's *the ballet dancer* is complaining? You think it's going to be him that gets sick, but watch, it'll be her..it's always the other one than the one they try to make you think it is[/spoiler]

that's when it dawned on me...wow...this is more predictable than I'd realized.


[spoiler]did love the snarky interaction between him and the 'female House'. hehe...[/spoiler]

Re: the season finale
[spoiler]OK, didn't exactly see that coming. Not in that way. Thought something was definitely going to be neurologically wrong with House. At any rate, all the medication has got to affecting him. [House's inspiration Sherlock Holmes could "handle" his 7% solution of cocaine, but that doesn't mean he didn't have an addiction.]

But Wilson KNEW he was hallucinating. He could have corroborated House's story of detox and sex with one private conversation with Cuddy. He KNEW House's levels of vicodin were too high. Notice how he wasn't too shocked when Cuddy and House entered his office.

Still, I got sad at the end.

The interesting thing he mentioned with Cuddy's coffee cup was oxytocin.

Oxytocin (IPA: /ˌɔk.sɪ.ˈtoʊ.sɪn/) is a mammalian hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.

It is best known for its roles in female reproduction: it is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and vagina during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding, respectively. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including social recognition, bonding, anxiety, trust, and maternal behaviors.

I have no idea what that means.[/spoiler]

[TinkTanker]

[spoiler]You know, I thought he detoxed awfully fast.

Anyway, Cameron looked lovely.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeah, it was 'too good to be true'. Very sad ep. Hurt my heart for them all. I was happy to see some REAL love between Cameron and Chase...that was nice, even though it seemed a bit cold that they got married with House going off to the 'crazy house'. Sad....but awesome ep. I will watch it again with Jessi...as always, Tom came home right in the middle of it *he started having alien hand syndrome, which he told Gingi for some reason wanted to grab 'mom boobs'..sent Gingi giggling hysterically telling me to run...all while I'm trying to heat up his dinner and throw water on him* (he loves having a cohort who eggs him on in his silliness)...then Jessi came home during the last few minutes and was all ticked that I kept exclaiming/explaining out loud (to Tom who was lost) what was happening. Usual stuff.[/spoiler]
