Do you guys honestly think that they have ever utterd the words Epic Fail before they heard them being tossed around in the fandom?

Aroa!

ok heres my thoughts-

POTW- annoying, but the whole game special effects thing was insanely awesome. yes im a geek haha

Foreman/Thirteen- it was pretty obvious theyd butt heads over him being her boss now. the argument stuff was a bit lame. i understand the reasons behind foreman wanting to fire her but keep her as his girlfriend but its still stupid. they just shouldnt have a leader obviously it wont matter with House coming back now anyways
I did enjoy seeing Omar topless i must admit

Taub/Thirteen- i loved them in this ep. taub is hilarious. i think are kinda friends in way.

House/Wilson- LOVED their moments. them living together is adorable. and House feeding him with the spoons Wilsons morning hair the kitchen moments were great

House/Nolan- its great to see Dr Nolan still involved, he continues to help House and its great.

I also loved the old team interaction, the Chase/Foreman talk and Cameron/Foreman. it will be good to see them with House next week. hahah Cameron's comment "right, my husband's gay, witty"

House/Cuddy- OMG. brilliant. the asian lady cracked me up!

and House said she was the MISSIONARY position. OMG im taking that is from the hallucination that they did it in missionary

I loved that scene. Ofcourse Cuddy's guilt would make her think its her fault House left. so great to see him set her straight immediately. and then-
"House, im going to miss you" wow. intense. the way he looked at her aswell and Cuddy looked so gorgeous throughout the entire ep

House/Cuddy/Wilson- HILARIOUS. OT3 is back baby. i loved Cuddy and Wilson standing there and giving house that look. and Cuddy supposedly covering her face when House peed in the cup

also Wilson- "i broke my toilet" Cuddy "ill get my tools"

all up, i really enjoyed this ep. great start to being back at PPTH. it was great to see House not going back straight away, but realising diagnostics was the key in the end to keeping him off the drugs.
i so thought he took the vicodin. so happy he didnt in the end.

I also thought the video game was awesome so you're not alone there.

It's awesome that he feels better when he's diagnosing and doesn't need the Vicodin. I was thrilled that he didn't give in to temptation. I wasn't surprised to see that cheque at the end.

Not sure if I will watch it... have to study today.... maybe if I'm board

**pinkpaisley** · 09-29-2009, 01:56 AM

This episode was alright!

I didn't care much for the case. But like mentioned above, the graphics were awesome! Especially when the guy started hallucinating and the hospital turned into the game!

Nolan!!! I am so happy he's still here! And that House is still in therapy.

Fourteen: was okay but reasonably predictable what was going to happen. But now both Taub en Thirteen are gone!

But I guess I don't really mind.

Loved House/Wilson! Wilson's bedhair is awesome!

House solving the case was a pretty cool idea.

Loved it when Cuddy came to visit House and House was cooking. I love it when he speaks a foreign language!

And so Cuddy knows about the hallucinations?! I wonder how she found out, but I guess there are fics for that.

Overall, nice episode, but I'll skip the patient parts next time.

Completely agree! Very well done.

ETA: I loved how House approached cooking like a mystery to be solved. He mastered it just as he mastered medicine. Amazing.

Same here.

I have the epi on my HD... didn't have time to watch. Maybe I will with a critical eye

But what I heard so far, it's a good episode, but not one of the best

**crazy_diamond** · 09-29-2009, 11:19 AM

I'm not going to watch...

Two online reviews:

'House' last night: For the love of God, can we just have a show about Wilson? | EW.com

This one is funny, I'd love a House/Wilson only show!

What's Alan Watching?: House, "Epic Fail": First-person cooker

I think it's very interesting that both said (in some way) that after seeing Broken, everything and everyone next to House is boring.

**Mrs.Almeida** · 09-29-2009, 06:34 PM

I really would have enjoyed the episode ... if it wasn't for the POTW storyline - the whole thing was just so boring! Dear writers, no one cares about Boreteen! And why did House give Thirteen relationship advice

That Chinese lady who helped House with cooking was hilarious, though

I also really liked how House is opening up more ... and I starting to like House, again

And House solved the case?

Awesome!

**pinkpaisley** · 09-29-2009, 11:43 PM

Got a question about House's therapy: he can go at night as well?
