Wilson's Heart- the review.

House and Wilson bring Amber to the teaching hospital to see what can be done for her. She is put on heart bypass to buy them time. House's memory begins to come back, why she was with him on the bus, what she was doing at the time. House undergoes a procedure that could kill him just to recover his memories. He finally remembers why she was with him- and that she had been sick with the flu. It turns out that the accident killed her kidneys, and that the overdose of her flu medication meant that nothing could be done. She is woken up to say her goodbyes, and dies in Wilson's arms. Meanwhile, House is in a coma because of his treatment.

Oh, jeez, that was so sad. Poor Amber. I didn't like her much, but that was not a nice way to go. Poor Wilson! I loved this episode. We get to see that House really is a human- he feels guilty because he was the reason Amber was on the bus (and therefore inadvertently responsible for her death) and that he survived and she didn't. His "I'm so sorry" to Wilson was truly heart-felt. And he was brutally honest to "ghost" Amber while in a coma- that he didn't want to go back because of his guilt, his loneliness, and because Wilson will probably hate him. The doclings get good stuff in, too- we learn a little more about Kutner's past and why he takes things so well ("things happen and you can't do anything about it"), Thirteen finally tests herself for Huntingdon's (she's positive! Yikes.), and after Amber dies, Taub goes home and hugs his wife. Finally, I loved the bit where Cuddy holds House's hand as he recovers, and Wilson turns away from him. That's going to be an interesting thing next season- the Wilson/House friendship, always strained, could be in serious trouble. Poor, poor Wilson! He just broke my heart, especially when he found Amber's note telling him where she was. Robert Sean Leonard and Hugh Laurie both deserve Emmys. A good end to a fairly good season.

Amber: "You can't always get what you want."

House: Wilson's Heart

I think I just ran out of tissues. That was so sad. I'm not quite ready to review, but I will say that it was a very satisfying season finale.

Wow. That's two season finales I've cried over. This one didn't top Torchwood's, but it came pretty darn close. I dread the end of Lost next week!

Not really television...

I do love You Tube. I have had so much fun looking up old commercials and clips of shows and old news bulletins. Last night I found a little animated short that scared me to death as a child- Bambi Meets Godzilla.

Splat! Poor Bambi!

Lost-There's No Place Like Home, part 1

Things are really starting to fall into place for this show. This episode was merely a set-up for the two-hour finale in two weeks, but it's a good set-up. The flash forward has the Oceanic Six returning home- they meet their families, give an uncomfortable press conference, and Jack gives the eulogy at his dad's memorial service...where he meets Claire's mother. She informs him that Claire was his half sister. Hurley starts to become unhinged. Kate tries to pass off Aaron as her own baby, Sun stands up to her father, and Sayid is reunited with Nadia. It's quite odd how the flash forwards have been going backwards all season!

Meanwhile, back at the island...

Jack and Kate go looking for the helicopter, and run into Sawyer and baby Aaron. He tells them that Claire has vanished. Locke, Hurley, and Ben reach the "Orchid" station, where Ben tells them that the island can be moved. (Yikes!) Ben gives himself up to Widmore's lackeys, for reasons unknown. Sayid goes looking for Jack. Daniel begins moving the Losties to the boat. Desmond and Michael discover that the electronics of the boat have been rigged with explosives...

I can see where this is going, and how the "Oceanic Six" came to be. It's pretty clear that the boat is going to blow up, and the helicopter is the only way out.

I hate having to wait two weeks for the finale! Who cares about Grey's Anatomy? :p

Reviews in this blog are considered especially heinous!

Law and Order: SVU- "Cold"

Ugh! What was that? That was a season finale? It should have been a series finale, if that's the best they can do!

So, Det. Lake investigates a cold case involving a rape/murder committed by cops. He shoots one of the cops dead, is shot himself, goes on the run. The other bad cop is caught and put on trial, and Casey withholds evidence in the trial. Mistrial declared, bad cop gets off, Lake kills bad cop, Casey is suspended. That's it. Couldn't they have been more original?

Other oddities- Fin calling Stabler a rat bastard? What the heck? Hardly a peep out of Benson tonight. She was the lucky one.

I hate Judge Donnelly. Poor Casey. Her career is over.

Lake, however, I never cared for. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Chester!

Only bright spot last night- Munch had more than a few lines. There's not enough of Munch on the show anymore.

Is this really going to be back next season? There had better be some improvements, or they really should cancel it.

Kill it now. Please.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit...absolutely SUCKED tonight. Not a good thing for a season finale. I'll elaborate later. I'm not done throwing things at my television screen.

Catching up with the other Doctor!

Dr. Gregory House, that is.

May 12- House's Head


"A bus accident robs House of several hours, and as his memory slowly returns, he realizes that one of his fellow passengers was exhibiting signs of a deadly illness, so he races to unlock the secrets in his brain."

Wow. That was a mind-blowing episode. House loses several hours, and goes through all kinds of weird ways to get his memory back, including hypnosis. This was an interesting look into House's mind, and how it works as he reconstructs the accident and the other passengers. The end is a surprise...the passenger who is dying is Amber (AKA Cutthroat Bitch), once a candidate for internship and now Dr. Wilson's girlfriend. House has no memory of why they were on the bus together...to be continued next week in the finale: Wilson's Heart.


Quote-

"Thirteen" (supposedly a bisexual): I'm not a lesbian!

House: Well, I was rounding up from 50%.

Other T.V. stuff- I missed Lost last week. I didn't forget to watch- there was a tornado warning in my area, and when I wasn't hiding in the basement, the show was preempted for storm coverage. The tornado missed my street by just over a mile!
