If you are like me and have been a loyal fan of House since day one and you miss how good the show used to be, then tonight’s episode on Fox at 8p will restore your faith in the medical drama.
One of House’s staff members has been stabbed by one of their patients and he will have to answer what really happened to save his job and keep himself out jail. They other staff will testify and we will see flashbacks leading up to the incident that will change everything. Then once we know who was stabbed the show will start to move in real time as one their own lives hangs in the balance. As they fight to save that doctor, we will see a side of House we have never seen before. By the end of the episode House will say something that pretty much sets up an end scenario for the show. And that end could come as early as May.
I have seen tonight’s episode twice and both times I have been blown away by intense and powerful it is. It brings back the feeling we used to get when we watched the show before they added all the unnecessary BS. So if you gave up the show because of all of the BS, then come back tonight because all of those episodes that tainted you on the show will be erased after tonight’s major game changer.
There will be blood on Monday’s episode of House on Fox and it will belong to one of the lead characters on the show. House will be interrogated for his role in the blood shedding and by the end of the episode we will find out if he will be allowed to continue working at Princeton General.
There have been rumors that this could be House’s last season because Hugh Laurie’s contract is up and he has hinted that he doesn’t plan on signing a new deal. Monday’s phenomenal episode sets it up for a way to end the show. I won’t say how, but this episode is a must watch for fans of the show and former-fans who gave up the show. You will want to come back for an episode that negates all the crappy ones.
When House ends, presumably this year, Hugh Laurie will retire from working in front of the camera on TV. He told UK’s Daily Record that he feels he “no longer a desirable commodity for TV,” adding “I think I have been rather spoiled here. I can’t imagine there will be another one quite like this. I think I will probably be as interested by either writing or producing or directing, or some other aspect. I find the whole field of it fascinating. And I think I am extremely lucky to have had the one shot that I have had at it and I wouldn’t go looking for lightning to strike twice.” But lightening has striken twice for other stars like it has for Tom Selleck, Simon Cowell, Johnny Galecki and David Boreanaz to name a few. I hope he decides to stay in TV because I would love to see him do a show with his native accent.
Before he say adios to TV, catch him in House tonight on Fox at 9p while you still can!
When I saw the promos for tonight’s season premiere of House on Fox at 8p, I thought it was going to be like the one when he was in a mental institution except that he in jail this time. Well it is different than that episode, but I can’t say I enjoyed the show. I think it is because I am still bitter how they ended last season with him ramming his car into Cuddy’s house thus causing him to do time.
What I liked about the show is that he solves medical cases, I don’t really care that much about his personal life. Something the show has been dedicating more and more time to. I miss the days when he would work in the clinic and go off on the patients. It was those interactions that made the show different and they have been missing…at least by me.
Hopefully now that Cuddy (I will miss Lisa Edlestein) is out, the new head of Princeton-Plainsboro will make him work the clinic. That is House will go back to work there? Since tonight’s episode hints that he might not. But I don’t want to spoil what happens because they say what happens behind bars, stays behind bars.
If you are like me, then you hated the final minutes of the season finale of House and were afraid what they were going to do when the Fox show came back for it 8th and possibly final season. Well looking at the promo for the season premiere that will air on October 3rd, I am thinking the show should be like the doctor and locked up. To me it looks they are repeating what they did when they sent him to the mental institution. Maybe it is time for this show to go, just like the cast seems to be doing.
