S06E03 - Epic Fail (counting last weeks double as 1&2) *Spoliers*

TV.com:

House returns to Princeton Plainsboro, announcing he will make big changes in his life. Meanwhile, House's team can't diagnose a new patient who's obsessed with posting each and every one of his symptoms over the Internet.

Is that the name of the episode or did you just not like it? thought it was a pretty good episode overall, the game they played looked cool and i lol'd the scene where cutty walked in on house and the asian one cooking ^^ .

Pretty much saw the end coming. Man, I hate Foreman, honestly. He's just... boring cept for the episode where he was dying.

I thought this episode was brilliant. Far from an epic fail, indeed!

House's Brokeback Mountain joke in his first scene with Cuddy and Foreman, the computer game scene with Thirteen and Taub, House's kitchen help and Cuddy, POTW hacking Foreman's facebook account and Thirteen telling House about getting off with a cheerleader from Iowa - it was high on humour while also sticking to the POTW story, and House's recovery.

Interesting to see how the dynamic develops with House back in the saddle, and I wonder what next for Taub and Thirteen

Kinda guessed a lot of it; house winning the money, ending back at the hospital etc. It was a good episode though.

Special effects in that game were savage...really wanna play it nice interlinking between the game and the tv show. I've seen movies with a lot worse CGI

I didn't like the computer game from an implausible-design POV but the SFX were pretty well done.

Too much Boreteen this week - they are so dreary. I don't care about their pretty arguments: seriously give us more Cameron and Chase! Never thought I'd wish for more Cameron...

I liked the POTW - especially with his snarky comments to the team (of which I only like Taub).

House's sections were great though - some excellent House'n'Wilson scenes, making up for a little bit of a lack last week (although this episode wasn't a patch on the premiere). I like the fact he wasn't on drugs but that work is the ultimate drug. There were subtle changes to his personality here that could feed well into the show. More of this, less of the whiny crappy Boreteen stuff.

Foreman is such a terrible character, Thirteen only slightly better. I had no interest in any of their side of things. This ep was missing a lot of House.
I was kind of dissapointed seeing that the show was back to the old formula. It's at it's best when breaking the mould.
Still though, they're the bad points, there were good ones too.
Overall I'm reserving any judgement. It was a sort of transitionary episode for everybody involved. It'll be a few more shows before the season picks up any momentum.

(Er, I think this is Episode 2 and the first was just one big long one.)

I agree that the episdoe could have done with more house but over all i thought it was solid.

Thought the dog pee thing was classic house, I thought he had went back on the drugs. Wasn't a big surprise it was house who solved the case.



Pretty sure it is ep3, well the official website thinks it is too so we must be on to something

wasn't the premiere a double episode making that 1 & 2? that would be why this is 3. seems logical to me

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I thought it was another great episode this week. For the first minute or two, I thought I had been watching the wrong show. Agree that there should be less Foreteen stuff. Really not a fan of Foreman at all. I want more of Chase and Cameron. It's been 2 seasons since they've had a real storyline now... about time to put them back in the forefront, although after seeing the preview for next week's episode

it looks like they'll be playing a bigger part in the show

I'm really missing Kutner.

Richard Dower

I really enjoyed it, especiaaly the high quality game footage, whomever did it should get props....it worked really well with the ep., especially toward the end.

Interesting case, House was ace....liking this show more and more.

The Black Oil

I wasn't hugely impressed with it, really. The Foreman/Thirteen thing is definitely snoozeworthy.

I'm glad to see that House is still seeing his therapist, it will be interesting to see how the dynamic will play out. I kinda guessed that House was the person who offered the solution via the web, seemed obvious he would get sucked into it somehow.

foreman/thirteen is an issue from last season continueing

Nobody likes thirteen and foreman blew his load as a dynamic character at the end of season 3 (up until then he was an excellent character).

I am happy to see them doing something different with foreman slightly (putting him in charge) and it worked in relation to the patiant, but thirteen's dilema was a snooze and the lack of taub was criminal.

House's parts were great, though I must admit to being annoyed that the bit between house leaving at the end of episode 1 and moving in with Wilson wee left unfilmed. Just the reaction when he showed up at the door would have been the best opening to any episode. Though the cooking subplot makes me think that if House gets good at anything he tries...missed oppurtunity there for him to announce some weird hobbies/jobs.

Overall, good POTW annoyance at fourteen and House is on form.

On the video game, I am with ixoy, everytime I saw it being played it just bugged the hell out of me how it worked, especially the monkey character, they showed thirteen raising her hands to swing but how does it know??? meh I know its something your not meant to care about but I did.

er it knew cos of eye toy type tech, or what ever microsoft new versions is.

i didn't know what i was watching when it started

what was with 13's overdone makeup, she's arched her eyebrows nearly as much as kate walsh, i can only presume she'd been to an award show the day before or something? maybe its just watching in hd.

have to say watching in hd is such a change, tv is so poor really,

slight personality change from her, and they've shoe horned in some current references.

really glad its back but please make this the last season
