Yep . He's got to maintain that balance. Not too cranky, but not too much of a jerk either.

[Fawkesfan1]

I was ok with last night's episode of House, but not with the ending of it...

Spoiler: show

It didn't make any real sense to me. He went from going to be with Cuddy out of his own will... to Cuddy accusing him of taking Vicodin to numb the pain. Well from the looks of things, he certainly didn't look stoned to me one bit. He seemed to be present with her.

It just seemed to come out of left field to me. And it ticked both me and my mom off.

Any thoughts on it?

[TaafeMJ]

I really enjoyed last night's episode until the end, too. I was at the point where I thought it would work for them to

Spoiler: show

kill off Cuddy's character

, even though I knew they wouldn't.

And next week's episode looks pretty bad. I can't stand episodes where

Spoiler: show

House goes off the deep end.

Yea it was going ok there.

Spoiler: show

I wasn't really a fan of that myself, but at least they seemed to be handling that well enough.

Yea it does... me neither. I end up almost biting off my nails due to those kinds of episodes .

Spoiler: show

I hope that Cuddy realizes what House is going through. He seems to be trying to grow, in spite of things. And from the look of it, he would be lost without her.

I loved the Get Happy number. Any time we get to watch Hugh Laurie singing and Fosse-ing it up is fine with me.

I was so bummed about the ending, though.

Spoiler: show

I thought Cuddy was being unfair in a way; she knew what she was getting into with House. She knew he was selfish. She knew he was an addict.

I guess it is realistic for House to relapse. I am just disappointed that we didn't get to explore more of happy-yet-still-grouchy House. He's going to be back to his pill-popping ways and totally depressed to boot.

I am thinking they'll get back together. It just doesn't feel like they've explored Huddy as much as they should have. With all that build-up the actual relationship was too brief.

Yep....

Spoiler: show

I'm more than a little annoyed they had Cuddy breaking off the relationship because of that. A problem to be discussed? Absolutely. That extreme of a reaction at that point? Not so much. When they first got together, Cuddy basically knew relapse was never totally out of the picture. That he didn't have the strength to be with the apparently doomed-to-die Cuddy without taking the Vicodin indicates a few things to me -- he wanted to be there for her; he needed the painkiller to make that happen; there's obviously some deep emotional issue at the root of it. Not saying it was the best way for House to handle it; but for her to just end it without trying to understand what's going on? Doesn't make sense.

I did too, it was a little bit out there, but it was well done .

Spoiler: show

Yea it's like she isn't giving him a complete chance there when it came down to it. She has to grow some more in that way, imo.

Seconded, only just not in the way that they did it. It didn't seem entirely realistic to me -- that they had this happen in such an 'out in left field way'...

Me too. It's unfair to not only the fans, but to the actors themselves, who worked their butts off in developing both the characters and the relationship itself.

Spoiler: show

It's just annoying that she isn't willing to go and discuss it with him. Since he's really trying (at least in his own way) to keep the relationship going. Agreed there too. I hope that they clear things up in next week's episode.

[Fawkesfan1]

I can't stand House anymore!

My opinion/slight rant under spoiler cut...

Spoiler: show

I've been ok with the show House as of late with the plot lines and the drama. One of the only real things other than the cases that have kept me watching was the relationship between House and Cuddy. It was going along nicely, with House actually trying to grow up for a change.

I was pleasantly surprised by this development... until TPTB screwed up royally. The whole 'using Vicodin once again as a crutch' thing is getting old and imho is a sign of weak writing and a weak plot. It literally came out of thin air. House certainly didn't look stoned to me when he was keeping Cuddy company when she was afraid that she might die.

When she mentioned to him about that... I was sitting there (along with my mom), going 'what in the?'... where did that come from? I know that he has had his issues with that drug, but come on, is that the best you guys can come up with? As for drama, I too know that that has to be there in some way, but I don't think that things were handled in the best way there.

To make House into a complete douche and have Cuddy into a person that's so unsure of herself that she just wants to break up with him no matter what is just a joke and an insult to fans of the show and those who have worked so hard on the characters themselves.

At the end of the day, what are they trying to do? Trying to tick people off? Disrespect the hard work and the effort of the actors? Drive fans away? Make people not care?

As for my mom and I, we're about ready to quit watching the show -- period. It's just gotten past rediculous. Sad really, so much potential there, and from the looks of things, they've kind of squandered it.

Spoiler: show

I'm assuming that you saw this week's episode? What did you think?

I thought it was interesting that I, as a viewer, found myself in the same mindset as Wilson -- that House was on the edge, with suicide a possibility. Behavior consistent with someone considering that. But the twist at the end was very clever. Now I can't tell (again, like Wilson) -- is House really OK as he claims (thoroughly miserable about Cuddy, but working his way through it a la House-style)? Did the group of kids at the bar help him shift his perspective a bit about his issues? He seemed different, as if he suddenly realized something. Or is he just moving progressively to more outrageous behavior until he hits a wall?

Spoiler: show

Yep your assumption is right.

I shared the same view point as you did. Wilson was the only sane one there. He was worried about House and Cuddy... I don't know about her at all. I don't think she even realizes what he's going through there.

Good questions. That's what I thought on both of these things.

It seems as if they're just messing things up there writing wise... and if he continues on this path, things definitely won't be good at all.

Not looking forward to this weeks' episode at all .



I was wandering around on Twitter... typed in the word House, and found one of the producers/directors and commented about how I was not thrilled about the plot and such... it took a lot of guts for me to say anything there...

what I said:
I don't know what to think here . RIPHuddy? Doesn't sound good at all. As a fan and a shipper. Not happy.

I was polite about it though... nice and polite . Since I figure all of this stuff was to ruffle fans feathers and all that... but still, I had to say something.

[freelantzer]

I read an article on EW.com that confirmed the end of Huddy. After all the build up of will they/won't they and it doesn't even last a season? I'd be okay if it happened later. And with more thought on Cuddy's part. It seemed too sudden, like it was just an impulse. I don't like that.

Did anyone catch last night's episode? Big spoiler ahead.

Spoiler: show

Can't believe House really went through with that "wedding." Thought it was all to get a rise out of Cuddy. Which it eventually did. But he went through with it. Wonder how long this plot point will last. Will she be in the background of shows regularly now? That feels off to me. When he rejected his "wife" at the end, though, I thought it showed that he still loves Cuddy. He will sleep with prostitutes because that's meaningless for both of them. But his wife may be developing some feelings for him (and he only has feelings for Cuddy), so he rejected her.

Do you think it's realistic that the show would really give information confirming the end of the relationship, when speculation about it is what is going to keep people tuning in?

It was an interview with Lisa Edelstein.

Dang. Sounds like it could be baloney just to help keep speculation in part, at least from what I saw on Twitter. Got to keep the audience tuned in (which (most likely) won't be my mom and I).

That sucks. I hate when any show goes and does this kind of thing. Talk about a slap in the face to fans there.

Me neither. It really doesn't make any sense at all. Anyone know of whose been writing episodes as of late? I'm not too thrilled with them myself.

Spoiler: show

Yea I saw that part, not the wedding itself though. Ended up missing most of the episode. But from what I did see of it, it didn't make any sense at all, whatsoever.

[Fawkesfan1]

Finally caught a re run of House, the one where 13 returned. Didn't even bother to watch the entire episode, since it pretty much jumped the shark in my opinion.

Spoiler: show

The fact that 13 got in trouble for prescribing drugs illegally (iirc)... kind of came out of nowhere... and the rest of what was going on just wasn't worth keeping up with.

[freelantzer]

Yes, it did come out of nowhere. But they explained her motives at the end of the episode and it didn't feel like out of nowhere anymore. Did you see the explanation?

[Fawkesfan1]

Nope, I missed that part. Can you catch me up on that one?

Speaking of which... after seeing Monday's episode of House (well most of it anyways)... I'm NO longer (along with my mom) watching the show, AT ALL. They've (the writers, producers, etc.) have finally driven us away from even catching a minute of House.

Rant under spoiler cut...

Spoiler: show

One of the only good bits from the episode was finding out that Cuddy's mother was actually trying to get them back together. But at the end of it all -- both Cuddy and House just have too many issues in their way to even do that.

As for the plots themselves, the only thing left to keep me watching are the cases. As far as I'm concerned everything else is screwed up royally, with the whole House/Cuddy thing only being a small part of the problem.

And from what I saw from the previews, things are only going to get more messed up and convoluted from there.

With House shooting up on drugs and using crack cocaine...

It's become even MORE messed up than the X-Files ever was with the whole 'Who's the daddy?' issue and the Supersoldiers.

They haven't just jumped the shark, they've jumped a whole tankful of them.

On a side note, was on Twitter recently and saw that one of the producers of the show is a real narcissistic jerk.

[Fawkesfan1]

Just saw part of the preview for this upcoming season... and all I have to say is this...

Spoiler: show

the jerk gets what he's owed . He's seems to be in prison for something. I figure it has to do with the drugs. Still not planning on watching it though...

Anyone else catch it? Thoughts?

[freelantzer]

^I didn't catch the preview but I have seen the poster art for the new season, so I had seen that House

Spoiler: show

goes to prison

Personally that made the new season less appealing to me. In reality he should get what he deserves but I just don't think that's gonna be the show I want to watch.

[BubblyShell22]

I missed a few eps of this season of House due to other shows conflicting with it. I plan to still catch this season though and catch encores of the others shows now that I know I can do that. I remember seeing a preview of the season finale of House where Cuddy says, "If Gregory House touches me, put him in jail." What was that about? Did he hit her or something? I was confused by that.

Have you guys heard the news? It seems that:

Spoiler: show

Lisa Edelstein wlll no longer be on the show!

So, that's why they got rid of Huddy. I think it sucks though because I was rooting for them from the start. Only time will tell how things work out with the show. I'll still tune in because I want to see why he's in prison.
