[US] S6E16 - Lockdown

Mr. CooL ICE

Liked this episode. Like many other episodes in season 6, an effort was made to make this one 'different'.

Opinions?

Great episode.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Thought it was really good... Especially loved Foreman and Taub chasing each other around and Wilson getting caught red handed stealing a dollar...

Good episode, but a few very weak points. The baby was that quiet and undiscovered for all that time?! Plus the nurses stroke came out of nowhere, just felt very disconnected with the rest of the plot.

Taub and Foreman was good to a point, getting whacked out on vicodin seems a bit of a stretch, to be honest... but there were some funny moments. Nice touch at the end with what Taub did.

I liked House's interaction with POTW... it show's how he's changed in some ways, and not at all in others. Great performance from POTW too.

Wilson/13 seemed a bit unnecessary - Taub/Foreman were covering the comic base, with Wilson/13 also going for comedy it felt a little overdone.

Hugh Laurie directed this, and I remember thinking after it that while it was nicely directed, the script did let it down somewhat.

Fingers crossed the series picks up pace soon, as House is a far cry fromthe quality of a few series ago. I don't want to see it go the route of 24.

I thought it was amazing, such a seamless change in pace for an episode, of course dictated by the lead being behind the camera.

Hugh Laurie and David Strathairn were superb. Nice to get House open up about his issues.

Thirteen was likeable and their scenes introduced good character development - or did they? Sam got introduced - one week to go before we see her and by all accounts it's well worth the wait.

Taub and Foreman were some light relief - I just hope it doesn't lead to a Vicodin addiction transference to one of them. Taub must have thought he was still high when Thirteen showed him her boobage. And she was wearing a very tight shirt in this episode!

Chase and Cameron were great too. Jesse Spencer has been fantastic this season and excelled again in the confrontation with Cameron. She must be happy that the door isn't shut for the character.

I was sure the spawn of Satan stepchild had hidden the baby. This was probably the weakest strand, but it set up the episode and no doubt Cuddy will now decide she wants her own baby with Magnum.

Loved this episode, always do like it when they shake things up. Thought Laurie's direction was great too, I actually got distracted from the script at points because I was busy admiring the shots used, and the use of colour.

Chase & Cameron were great, loving Chase's character development.

Completely agree... Who the bollox is Sam?

Gingervitis

Wilson's ex-wife that he's now seeing (again), played by Cynthia Watros (Libby from Lost)

Sorry for the confusion. It is months since I heard she had been cast as Wilson's ex, a doctor. Her early scenes with House are supposed to be class. I'm glad she didn't just appear randomly - Facebook again!

Really enjoyed such a shift in this episode, a little bit of extra depth for everyone.

also, *ahem*

Just watched it. Its good to see the different formats-get a break from diagnostic medicine. It was good to see closure for Chase and Cameron. I liked her as a Character -shame she was written out.

I have to admit though Im getting a bit tired of House overall. That happens I suppose after six seasons and so many bizarre cases. I think House needs a love interest -something to challenge him. I really hope they Dont have Wilson's ex being some sort of surrogate love interest but no doubt they will.

You will have to excuse me-Im prob watching too much TV these days and just jaded/bored by it all!:P
How many episodes left in this season?

Mr. K

Good episode, a nice change of pace. Cameron and Chase's scenes were excellent, as were the scenes with House and David Strathairn's patient. The comedy ones were enjoyable enough, but Cuddy's storyline was probably the weakest.

Nice to see a human side to forman as well. even if he was on vicodin

The Black Oil

It was OK. Chase and Cameron ending up in the same room together was very obvious as soon as the baby went missing... On the plus side, House's patient was interesting and 13 and Wilson's truth/dare was actually fun. Too much comedy in this one for me, i.e., Foreman and Taub, but I don't mind either of them so...*shrug*.

Posy

I thought it was a great episode! I did like the truth or dare with 13 and Wilson, although I am not a fan of hers. Love the end bit where she flashes Taub, haha.
House and the dying patient had great interaction and I did like Taub and Foreman chasing each other around. (wow, that vicodin is strong stuff- and poor House stuck with ibuprofen!)
I do agree with Jimmy Bottlehead, however- the hospital was swarming with cops and none of them seen/heard the baby or checked the laundry cart? Hmm.
