Oh my.
Oh it's so nice to be back home, you have no idea. I can't believe I survived a whole year up at a school I hated. But that's over, and despite ruining my perfect GPA with a crappy grades, I made it out alright. I'm looking for a job, ick. Oh, and TV. I'm so behind I'll just do like a double recap when each show airs this week. Or not. We'll see.
House 4.14
I definitely expected this episode to suck, but it didn't. House's celeb kidnapping was kind of awesome in a crazy fanboy way. I love House, the fanboy. Getting all giddy and obsessive. Hey! It's like me. Remind me never to meet actors on these shows, I'll probably scare them.
Medicine-wise, House was off, again. He went for brain tumor, then to a bunch of other things, ending with a floral allergy, which was wrong. Home's off his game.
Amber continued to be awesome. I love how she's forcing Wilson to do things on his own, and pretty much explains why all his wives left him. And Amber isn't the woman who needs to be looked after, she can fend for herself. So Wilson gets to buy a waterbed, and Amber's OK with it. That's sweet.
Thirteen had the amazing line, "I think I dated that nurse, though... No." I can honestly say I died. I mean the look on House's face was priceless. Like this mixture of surprise and satisfaction. Brilliant.
House 4.15
Wow. I mean, wow. As far as trippy House episodes go, I find them hit or miss. I absolutely adore the first season episode, "Three Stories", where we hear about House's leg injury, but then there was the second season finale, where we only find out it's a dream at the very end, which I hated. So yeah, this could have gone either way, but luckily this fell right into the "Three Stories" bucket. How could an episode where House tries to make himself hallucinate not be good? From OD'ing to sensory deprivation baths, he was willing to try anything to figure out who he thought was going to die before the crash.
Turned out it was just some boring bus driver... Or not. Sure House saved the day, but when there's 15 minutes and a second part left, you know there's more to the story. And that's pretty much why I skipped over the entire episode in the paragraph above. See, House has been seeing this gorgeous mystery woman in all his hallucinations, but no explanation why. Then, after OD'ing on Alzheimer's meds, he notices she's wearing a necklace. And then the Answer (mystery woman) asks what her necklace is made of. And then I screamed. Because a golden necklace with a mosquito in it is made of Amber. "AMBER!" I shouted, then teared up, because I don't want Amber dead. That flashback montage of Amber, looking pretty happy, then the bus crashing, was heartbreaking. I'm not sure what House and Amber were up to, but I'm guessing she was at the bar with House when he got plastered, and maybe she's the reason for the drunkenness.
There were other bits, like Chase hypnotizing House and Wilson entering into his trance with Beer brand beer. Then Amber showed up. There I knew she was involved in this somehow, but I couldn't figure what, and the rest of the episode got so out there, that it just slipped my mind. Next there was Cuddy the stripper, which was... disturbing and yet, something House would think about... Thirteen got a name, "Dr. Hadley" (way to ruin it Cuddy).
This is one of the only House episodes I think I need to watch twice for itty bitty details. Mostly I rewatch episode for funny moments or gags or the like, but for once, I actually think there may be clues as to Amber's "condition" and the questionable House/Amber relationship. I really hope Amber survives this, because I feel repercussions past the next episode. Before I go, anybody realize that both House and CB now have gimpy legs (I believe both are right leg injuries, correct me if I'm wrong). If she uses a cane, Wilson will have to concede he really is dating femme-House, and if she didn't cheat on him, hilarity will ensue.
