Whiplash No House recap? Sep 22, 2010 4:45 PM Is Buzzsugar not recapping House anymore? That sucks.
BuzzSugar House Rundown, "Knight Fall" Apr 20, 2010 5:30 AM Oh, it's on . On this week's House there are a couple battles raging — one is the fictional role-play kind between knights and the other, a real-life war brewing between Wilson's ex-wife turned girlfriend Sam and his better half, House. Yes, Wilson and Sam appear to be hitting it off the second time around, but House is ready to bring the woman down, even if it means walking around naked and hiring a transvestite prostitute. It's not exactly fair play, but how often does House take the high road? I'll be curious to see how the Sam and House faceoff turns out, but before we do, let's recap some of the big points from this episode when you . First things first, did you think for just a split second that this mutual hatred between Sam and House might be hiding just a tinge of sexual tension? When she walks in on him naked in the kitchen, I thought maybe I was sensing a bit of it. Can you imagine if that happened?! Wilson would be so devastated, but it would make for a great story twist! The patient plot this week felt kind of ridiculous, if you ask me. A young guy who role-plays as a knight at a medieval reenactment (and takes it a bit too seriously), collapses during the middle of a sword fight, and comes to House for fixing. Everything seems to be wrong — he has spots on his chest, an irregular heart beat, his eyes are completely bloodshot — and it stumps the doctors. They, of course, have to dress up in ye olde period garb to get to the bottom of matters, and in a strange side diversion, Thirteen and Chase find black magic materials at the knight's apartment. Weird thing is, the writers totally drop the witch element later on, and I kept waiting for it to pop back up. Are we just supposed to forget that the guy dabbles in spells and such? House confides in Cuddy about his concerns with Sam, and she suggests to him to let it be. Then, Wilson approaches Cuddy about Sam to ask for advice, and she tells him that he might as well go for it, because things could be different the second time around, and he'll never know unless he tries. It makes me wonder if she feels the same way about House? Perhaps the writers haven't given up on Huddy after all. One way that House tries to throw a wrench into Sam and Wilson's relationship is by bringing a transvestite prostitute to dinner with the couple — which backfires when Sam and House's date hit it off. It was pretty hilarious watching House get all disgruntled, and I would've liked to have seen the episode milk the set up more. To make up for his childish behavior at dinner, House cooks for Sam and Wilson back at the apartment. It seems civil, but when Wilson leaves for the bathroom, House starts his tongue-lashing, telling Sam he's not going to let her hurt Wilson again. Didn't you love seeing House being so concerned and protective? After some investigative work, House deduces that his knight patient ingested hemlock — and since he was apparently also taking steroids, the mixture of the two worsened his condition. Meh. I wanted to be more interested in this story, but even the love story where the knight is in love with the queen didn't really keep my attention. What did you think? Speaking of investigative work, House hires Luke to do a little P.I. job on Sam. Luke says he can't find anything on her, other than some confidential therapist notes. The surprise here: after Sam asks House to give her and Wilson a chance, he actually trashes the files before reading them. Think they'll make a reappearance? And does this mean House actually trusts Sam now? Come on, that wouldn't be any fun. So, do you think Sam's intentions are good? Is she here to stay, or like House tells her, will he stick around longer than she will? (Obviously, I hope it's the latter!)

BuzzSugar Which House Star Is Most-Deserving of a Spin-Off? Jan 27, 2010 7:30 AM There were rumblings of a Lucas spin-off from House a long time ago, and though that idea has since been nixed, don't count out the possibility of seeing another character lead their own series. Fox president Kevin Reilly recently confirmed that exec producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs have a "standing offer" to create another show, possibly a spin-off. This begs the question: if Lucas doesn't get his own show, then who should? I find Wilson completely lovable, but I'd hate to break up the bromance. Perhaps Cameron? There have been hints that she's coming back , so now seems like the right time, but honestly I just don't find her interesting enough to carry a show on her own. Thirteen could carry her own show; at least she has a more intriguing backstory. I wouldn't mind seeing Cuddy segue into new territory either. We could follow her as she starts a new life with Lucas in a different city, and at least it would put to bed those tiring "will they/won't they" storylines with House. Or not. Hey, that's what crossover episodes are for. Here are my top choices for a separate series — who gets your vote? Photos courtesy of Fox
BuzzSugar House Rundown, "Remorse" Jan 26, 2010 9:33 AM "Remorse" couldn't have been a more appropriate title for this week's House . Just when you think the doc's therapy didn't have any effect on his cold heart, his conscience pops up in the form of a former med school classmate. But while House experiences pangs of guilt, his new patient Valerie can't feel the slightest tinge of, well, anything. Did I mention she's psycho? The medical case gave the writers a chance to have some fun as Valerie flips in and out of her faux "good girl" routine, but more so, I'm enjoying the shift that we're seeing in House as he learns from his mistakes and tries to make amends (albeit at a snail's pace). A few questions came to mind as I was watching, so I'm curious to hear your take! Let's break 'em all down and dissect some of the episode's highlights when you . Was anyone else expecting a hair-pulling cat fight between Valerie and Thirteen a la Ali Larter and Beyonce in Obsessed ? What did you think about the "psycho" storyline? We saw completely polarized sides of House this week. First, he's unsympathetic by destroying Cuddy's favorite photo, but then he pays the mortgage for a man he tried to hurt years before in med school. Obviously House is just trying to do penance in one scenario to compensate for the guilt he feels with Cuddy (as Wilson suggests). Do you think he'll ever formally apologize to her? Favorite line of the night, courtesy of Taub: "Oh, sorry, that was our secret," in response to House requesting that anyone who hadn't slept together leave the room. After which, Taub looks at Thirteen. Nice one, Taub. Speaking of Thirteen, are they really putting her back with Foreman? Ugh. He finally apologizes for firing her, and I swear by the end, she's giving him a longing look. Would you welcome a reunion, or would you rather see them move on? What I did like about Thirteen in this episode: she solves the patient's case nearly on her own. Personally, I delighted in watching her prove the boys wrong. I know some of you are mixed on her, but did this episode make you warm up to her a bit more? Did you freak as much as I did when Thirteen breaks Valerie's arm by accident? I love how this show always raises questions about what (and who) is morally good. Example No. 1: Valerie may be crazy, but her sister divulges how she protected her from their abusive father. Example No. 2: Valerie tries to compare House to her, even though House is supposedly the show's hero. Great song for the final scene! Fiona Apple's "Why Try to Change Me Now" seemed like a fitting way to tie up the episode. Please, share your two cents! I'm especially dying to hear what you make of the new focus on Thirteen and Foreman. Sound off in the comments or head over to the House! group to chat more. Photos courtesy of Fox
BuzzSugar House Rundown, "The Down Low" Jan 12, 2010 9:30 AM House is back (thank goodness!) and delivered an episode that was definitely worth the long Winter break. This week sees the beginnings of House and Wilson's domesticity and, yes, addresses their similarities to an old gay couple (to quote House, "We're two tigers away from Vegas" ha!). The whole scenario had me cracking up, but it was the patient that kept me guessing. Best of all: there isn't a single inkling of sexual tension between House and Cuddy for once. I needed a breather from that storyline, didn't you? I hope that the writers keep up the good work, but for now, let's examine everything that happened (and the questions it raised in my mind) when you . This was yet another week when I thought, how the heck did House figure that out? There are even more twists than usual, between the patient Mickey's diagnosis (from toxins in his fat cells to an autoimmune disease) and Mickey himself (from supposed drug dealer to undercover cop). And when House pinpoints that he had bugged the room, too — how did he know? Did you recognize Ethan Embry as Mickey? What a change from Can't Hardly Wait ! I loved House's ribbing on Chase's haircut ("Cameron get your hair in the divorce?"), but I sensed a bit of sexual tension between Chase and Thirteen when they're in the car for their "stakeout" — is that just me? I jumped when I thought they were introducing a love interest for Wilson with new neighbor Nora (is it bad that I recognize her from Dawson's Creek ?). Unfortunately, House makes her believe that they're gay to toy with Wilson and get into her pants. The whole mockery was hilarious to watch (an Evita listening party!) but kind of a letdown. Way to ruin it for Wilson, House. Hopefully it isn't the last we've seen of her. Speaking of their Ambiguously Gay Duo routine, how perfect is Wilson's fake proposal? House deserves a taste of his own medicine sometimes. What did you think about the back and forth games between Foreman and the team? I really thought they pulled the wool over Foreman's eyes by convincing him that they made more, but the joke is on them. Did you see that twist coming? The faux Jack Bauer interrogation scene = AMAZING. The writers really set up a question of morality, so let's get deep for a sec. Who do you think is worse: the drug-dealing associate for living a life of crime or the undercover cop for seeing to his arrest (even after his friend risks his own life to make him healthy)? I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the episode — it's been way too long! So please, share your comments or head over to the House! group to chat some more. Photos courtesy of Fox
