[US] S06E10 - Wilson - *Spoilers Within*

AdMMM

Episode Summary

Wilson insists on treating the case of a friend and former patient, Tucker, who is suffering from paralysis of his right arm. However, he soon discovers that he can't separate his feelings from his professional attitude. Meanwhile, Cuddy tries to buy a new house.

Just about to start watching this. A Wilson-centric episode sounds interesting. Will report back soon!

I was enjoying this new episode, great to see Wilson interact with patients, but it was so obvious that there would be a suggestion

that he should donate something to Tucker.

Meh.

Nice little scene at the very end.

I really enjoyed this weeks episode, was nice to have a Wilson centred show for a change. Was the best since the great season opener imo.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Dunno why they haven't done episodes like this before... It was very good.

I really enjoyed it as well.

So is this it now until January?

A real rollercoaster of emotion that. Really raises the bar of all the POTW episodes this season and I think it was great that we got a real insight into the psyche of Wilson.

it strangely reminded me of those episodes of scrubs where they swap the narration from jd to another character.

I know there's a chasm of difference between house and scrubs. But it was just curious for the first 20 or so minutes of the episode wilson was acting very much like house (from deducing Cuddy's motives to his cases to that almost smug look on his face)

likewise I'd like to similar episodes in future.

Yeah, thought exactly the same thing myself.

I thought they missed an opportunity in the credits to put Wilson as the face that appears in the opening moments

There'll be a similar "Cuddy" episode in the next few episodes.

Read this on wikipedia, I wonder if this has anything to do with it :

Robert Sean Leonard had received the script for the CBS show Numb3rs, as well as that for House.[44] Leonard thought the Numb3rs script was "kind of cool" and planned to audition for the show.[44] However, he decided that the character he was up for, Charlie Eppes, was in too many scenes; he later observed, "The less I work, the happier I am."

Very enjoyable episode. I guess they could have done cool stuff like have WILSON appear in the opening credits with a square around W but no matter.

But anyway as the episode went on, the scene where House says "If you die, I'm alone", and the music the followed during the surgical prep, I was on edge thinking, oh shi- they're not going to...

Also while thinking if he was about to die, an episode all about him would be fitting. Very relieved when he was OK

Thought that the little snippets of House & his team and their cases were very funny.

Anyone else pick up on the obscure Monty Python reference?

Nobody else got it! They thought I was being weird when I laughed.

Wilson: "I'm not here for an argument "
House: No. Right. That's room 12A.

Take that! You Python ignorant House-lovers!
:D:D

I almost thought I was just reading into it too much but I couldn't think what else it could be! Felt pretty awesome because it was such a sly reference.

I always thought that was the point of the Wilson/House dynamic. They essentially have alot in common. I think this episode was intended to cement that point with the audience.

Wilson and House are essentially the two sides of the same coin. They are both very intelligent, very perceptive Doctors. They have constant games where they try to 1-up each other demonstrating their immense ability to predict the others actions.

The fundamental, and often lambasted difference between the two is that House doesnt care what his patients or people in his life think of him - or at least he tries to convince himself and others that this is the case. Wilson on the other hand is the polar opposite of House. Caring so much for what everyone thinks of him that he takes needless risk to "out himself" for assisted suicides to a group of his peers and even volunteers a piece of his kidney to a self-important jerk.

In fact, it maybe high time they renamed the show, "House and Wilson M.D". Wow, I smell a sitcom!

Sorry for dragging up an ancient thread here, but instead of watching the new episode last Monday, like I thought I would be able to, I watched an old episode. It happened to be this one.

I must have missed that line the first time. I literally laughed out loud.

I was watching it with a couple of friends and they thought I was gone nuts. There was no point in explaining it. They wouldn't find it funny anyway.

Uneducated bastards
