House season finale: "No Reason"

May 24, 2006 00:41

For once, I really like the ep title.

( 1,800+ words, somehow. And it's backwards, analysis first. Contains Buffy references! And big big spoilers. )

Shades of something there at the end when everyone is doing everything in their power to keep House from performing an action that would make him wake up. I keep thinking it's a Deep Space Nine episode, but I don't know which-maybe the one where Bashir's been sent into a coma by an alien and he has to repair the station in his head as a symbol for restoring his own failing body, but I don't think that's it. Anyone?

I'm thinking it's the episode towards the end of the last season when Bashir is essentially trapped in his own mind and his hallucinations are being controlled by the rather dull and pallid man from Section 31 (which I keep wanting to call Section 8 - and dude, why do ALL the other species on Star Trek have secret services that kick the ASS of the one that's supposed to be for the entire Federation?). I can't remember what he's supposed to do, though. It's been ages since I've seen the show.

And damn and blast. Really wanted the episode to be arranged so that he DID punch Wilson for some reason. Cop-out.

Hm, I don't think that's it; I hardly remember it. His name's Sloan BTW, and Section 31 was a rogue Starfleet organization originally instated as a watchdog or security committee and ended up under no jurisdiction but its own, paralleling Romulus' Tal Shiar or Cardassia's Obsidian Order.

The punch was SUCH a cop-out. But. Wilson's reaction was excellent, and it was followed with this creepy little line where Wilson goes, "Are you hallucinating?" and then says again, "I mean, are you hallucinating right now?" and it's in Moriarty's voice.

Yes, but the Tal Shiar and the Order are COOLER. :)

No argument there. Although that episode was great where Sloan, to borrow House's phrasing, "manipulated the hell out of" Bashir and the Romulan Senator and faked his own death in the end.

Has "House vs. God" aired yet, or what?

Tomorrow night, I think.

I'd better as hell have Internet access at the hotel, because, have to hear your reaction.
