Do we have any evidence, other than House's opinion, that he was really out of it? I mean, one of the crew suggested that test, didn't they? And they weren't going to do it, but then the parent asked for it?

It seems like House is beating himself up for not being superhuman. Which, you know, is pretty much normal House.

That's true, compared to what? They should have kept that storyline going for a while...they keep introducing challenging things and then rebooting or something. I get not wanting to mess with a hit, but fandom is feeling cheated.

I'd like to see a continuing effort for House to kick the drugs and get back to normal, and to see how much of House is the pain or is just him. Could the various relationships survive the trip, and is his brilliance tied to his viciousness? Would he have to choose the burden to keep the gift?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'd like to know more about what House was like before the injury.

I'd like to know more about what House was like before the injury.

Wrod, because it hit him apparently after he was established, and Cuddy apparently knew him then. I want to know more about the Wilson-House timeline, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Previous eps of House have referred to the fact that before the injury he was an asshole.

He just became more of one after the injury.

I still feel cheated from House getting sprung from rehab so early. House in Rehab could have been frickin' hilarious. All that sharing and growing and holding hands...and there's House, betting on everyone's drug of choice. "Uppers...vodka, come on people, give me a hard one. Oh, excuse me, Lauren's sexually compulsive. I'm just going to change my seat, and point out for strictly therapeutic reasons that "hard one," referred to our bets and nothing else." The doctors would hate him...

House in rehab--then there's the "Is he really trying or playing them all till they throw him out or his court-ordered stay is over?" He does a nice line in "sudden realization of something important that I'll die before I admit". Like the one a season back or so when he's doing a surgery on a pregnant woman--though he's not a surgeon--and the fetus grabs his finger.

Hugh Laurie gets ideas better than any actor I've ever seen. Mostly thinking doesn't translate to the screen well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I could stand the show. Because I'd love to watch Hugh Laurie act every week.
