So it's time for the unofficial season finale of House. I of course don't know this for sure, and I actually read recently that if the strike is resolved soon that many shows would be able to save the tail ends of their seasons. But the point is, House is reaching, and the sooner this season ends, I think the better it is for all of us. Except the writers who won't get paid. But they're kind of slacking anyways.
I rest my case.
We start off seeing some foreign wedding ceremony, and by saying "foreign," I'm trying to sound as least racist as possible. But let's just be honest, they're obviously Amish. And there's no way they'll ever find out I said that!
Ok, this is weird. There are strange cuts between what looks like home video footage and actual House foota
ge, but then a glass is broken, Mazal tov and everybody is happy. And who is the bride? Sarah Silverman's sister. What the hell.
So Jesus isn't magic?
Anyways, more cuts between home video footage and House footage, which is retarded, and the bride is getting congratulated by many Jewish mothers. Then she gets pulled out to dance, and gets lifted up in the chair by the women. I don't really understand Jewish ceremonies, so I'm not going to pretend to try. But as she's elevated, we see blood somewhere on her dress, and she gets that "I'm going to pass out" look on her face. But to everyone's surprise, a bird flies in and tries to eat her. Then she passes out. And she falls off the chair, and everyone is very concerned. Except for me mostly.
At the hospital, House is harassing Wilson about his relationship with Cut throat bitch Amber. I know working with House means he's going to be all up in your business, but I would get sick of it after a while. That is, I would get sick of it, if I didn't admire House so much for being so awesome.
House says he gives it two months, and Wilson wants to take that bet and place $100 on it. Turns out they've been dating four months. She doesn't fit Wilson's type, and House doesn't get it, so he says he'll just go talk to Amber himself. Wilson tells him to go ahead. I don't really see how she couldn't get annoying after, like, 20 minutes of being together with her. So she's got to be a demon in the sack. And probably more needy than she lets on.
Go Wilson. Only in TVland would this guy be banging the hottest chick in the place.
House walks into his office, confused, and Jen is there with the next patient: a 38-year old woman with loss of bladder control, blood in her urine and a broken leg from collapsing at her wedding. Rawr. House asks if people knew about Wilson and Amber, and Kal says yes, the rest (save for Jen) say no. Do we know her name yet? I haven't technically "watched" the episode after the Super Bowl because I was technically "in" a "drunken stupor."
Anyways, Jen is still all business, while Kal says he was scared of Amber but she has legs that go to Canada. Can't fault him for that one. He also says that she "grew on" him, and I bet he returned the favor. Oh snap! In the background they've been discussing symptoms and possible diseases, and House thinks the bride may have tried to kill herself. Jen believes in the goodness of people, so she disagrees.
Taub and Foreman go to check out Laura Silverman's apartment, and the two have a discussion about Hassidic Jews and how they marry. Taub disagrees with it, Foreman can see it. He also uses the term "emotional foreplay" which sounds like the worst kind there is. Except for maybe metaphorical foreplay, which I don't think I've heard before, but it's not something I want to have. Or do I? They find some sort of piece of lingerie and a gold record (or group of them) that have Laura's name listed as producer on all of them, so they assume that there should be drugs to go along with the sex and rock and roll.
Slut.
Turns out she became Hassidic 6 months ago, and before she used heroin. But she's been clean for months, and her new husband doesn't care about the past. Kal seems most concerned that she can never watch Star Wars again, but she's probably most concerned that she can't do the drugs again. I know I'm most concerned about her doing drugs again. And the sex thing.

My theory on House - its pretty much DOA at this point - here's why:
So, when House began, the cast all had amazing chemistry - it wasn't just Wilson/House/Cuddy. BUT Chase/Cameron/Foreman too - Problem is, it was totally a formula based show that was kinda the same every week. So knowing that would get old eventually, the producers had to to mix it up. And replacing Chase/Cameron/Foreman (even if they do make cameos every now and then) made House like a whole different show.
And now I feel ZERO chemistry between any of the newbies, its weird, I don't even dislike them, more like I don't care about them one way or the other.
So now, the show is stuck, they can't bring the original three back to the same job, and I don't see how they can make these new guys suddenly have chemistry....
That's just my opinion. I know Dr. House is awesome, and will keep the show going but it'll never be as good.
