I certainly liked House last night, but I'm worried that it just jumped all kinds of shark.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

while my eyes rolled into the hallway after the part where he decided not to bother with the really good treatments for opiate withdrawal that anyone in his right mind would take advantage of
actually, I thought this was the point. he wasn't in his right mind, he is self-loathing and guilty, afraid he was mentally ill and seriously addicted. I think he wanted to feel it all thinking this would get him back on track.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yes. I'm waiting to see what happens next week, to see how they resolve it.

You think? That doesn't really sound like him, but it might make sense for him to think that's what he should do. It doesn't make sense for Cuddy to go along with it. Or I really don't like her character as much as I used to.
It won't bother me if they go somewhere interesting next week, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm glad they brought Amber back. The actress is really great, and I love the places they've taken the character.

House wouldn't ask for help from his current and former minions. He's willing to be weak in front of Cuddy for some reason. I don't think he wants to involve Wilson because he's got Amber on his mind. Heh.
I can see him martyring himself by going through detox pretty much alone. If he has decided he's had enough of the drugs--and realizing that he can't trust his own mind, ie, Id!Amber giving him false information--I think he'd rather die than continue on. I've wondered if the Powers That Be were ever going to try and clean House up.
I wonder if his inability to figure out why Kutner killed himself is pushing him, too. What a serendipitous story line.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm glad they brought Amber back.
Wait. Isn't Amber dead? All I know of House from last few seasons is the whole House/Amber/Wilson drama I culled from watching a few vids.
Unless it's from House's vicodin-addled mind hallucinating.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
You got it in one, Vonnie.

House has some of the most interesting hallucinations out there.
