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.

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 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.

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.

You got it in one, Vonnie.

House has some of the most interesting hallucinations out there.

Haha. Ain't that the truth. Like, the other day, I was watching a Merlin vid -- a show I have no interested in watching, btw -- and there was a Meaningful Look between the black girl (who I understand plays Guinevere) and that hot hispanic guy who played Poor Dead Isaac from Heroes, and I immediately started wondering if he was supposed to be Lancelot, then it made me all curious because it's kinda neat to have non-white folks play two thirds of a famed love triangle.

But I hear the fandom is all about two pretty white boys fucking, and I'm not so much interested in that. Ah well.

I am not nuts about this new NCIS crew. Or it just may be the story line I'm not nuts about. I am seriously bored.

Sail, I liked them a little better this episode, but they're not nearly interesting or quirky enough for me yet. I did like the three scenes at the end of the episode.
