[US] S06E09 - Ignorance Is Bliss - *Spoilers Within*

Good episode.

I'm missing Jennifer Morrison already. The story is moving along and I'm sure she'll be long forgotten by the time she comes back for a guest appearance at some point in the future.

I'm glad that for now, 13's condition isn't one of the main talking points of the episodes. I just felt that the feeling of "impending doom" that hung over her character all the time got a bit old.

Chase is still obviously hurting a lot over the break-up, but he seems to be starting to resolve it. During his apology to House near the end of the episode, it seems he is trying to deal with it at the very least.

I thought the parallels between certain aspects of the the patient and House were well put together.

The House / Cuddy situation was very interesting and obviously is nowhere nearly being resolved. As far as I know, Cuddy's toyboy is only signed up for a few episodes, so their romance might not be for the long haul, or it just hasn't been confirmed if he will stay longer or not... I like his character, but I preferred the back and over between House and Cuddy from earlier seasons.

To help keep up with my addiction, I'm watching all the extras from the DVD's at the moment. Quite interesting.

I'm sorry that I'm up to date with the show now, because now I have to wait a whole 7 days between episodes.:)

Yeah, I enjoyed it. I thought it was one of the better episodes we've had so far. I'm not too pushed about the House/Cuddy situation, though.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Liked the scene between Taub & Chase and also the scene between Thirteen & Chase... thought he worked well with both of them, better than Foreman ever did. I'd like to see Foreman fall into the background and have Chase & Taub come a bit more to the forefront... Thirteen gets plenty of airtime already... Also, MORE WILSON. We need more Wilson!

I didn't miss Cameron at all because Taub and Thirteen were back, and it was good to see Taub get some more family time (and I liked his approach to ironing things out with his wife). And someone finally punched House, a scene which must have been a long time coming.

POTW bored me - there was never a sense of jeopardy surrounding him like there usually is, and would someone really have 16 spleens?! OK, there was the parallel to House's life with him being addicted to something, but this didn't go anywhere in the storyline.

I hope they give Lucas something more to do than be Cuddy's babysitter or else this storyline has the potential to go stale.

I noticed a little Lost crossover too - the health insurance investigator was Sayid's girlfriend/ wife/ dead wife (depending on timeline).

I agree with all of that.

Also, the next episode will have more Wilson in it, as it is titled "Wilson".

don ramo

is it just me or is foreman talking less and less each episode, most of the time hes just sitting there at the end of the table, saying noting at all,

I noticed that too. I can't remember what episode, but there was one where he literally contributed nothing to the diagnosis.

The Mormon doctor that was in the early episodes of Season 4 punched House! But Chase doing so had more impact.

Overall, a good episode. Glad to see Taub back full time, he's a cool guy.
