    He wouldn't apologize BECAUSE it was so important, though he originally did it because he didn't realize how important. That was Wilson's whole point: that it's easier to apologize to people you don't really care about. You think House trying to ignore a problem is unrealistic?

    Anyway, the character development and stuff isn't whats so boring about the show. It's the whole premise. Mysterious disease, House & Co try and solve it, etc etc. Just not interesting anymore. I used to think House's epiphanies were kinda funny and cute, now I think it's fairly moronic for the show and the writers to keep pulling that one over and over and over again. Yawn.
    I'm not sure how else someone would figure something out besides... well, figuring it out. And to me, they change it up just enough to keep it interesting (i.e., the other team members' involvement, patients dying, patients being killed, etc.).

    Welcome to every TV show ever. Every TV show has its pattern. I see what you are saying, but at the same time I can't help but think you are wrong. Sure, every case does have a similar patten but the details of said pattern along with the miscellaneous stories per episode is what I believe makes the show worth watching every week. I can see why you (or any other long time House viewer) can get tired of the typical House pattern, but I do not tire of it at all simply because the background stories have always had variety, which is what I feel really caries the show.

    Agreed. The characters themselves and their interactions are really where the good stuff is too, except 13xForeman.

    Oh my god. xD I hope you meant to say every single procedural TV show. Cause a show like House (and CIS, and Law & Order, etc) is a specific kind of TV show, and most other shows aren't so formulaic. Not that there's anything wrong with procedural shows. I was a huge Law & Order SVU fan for awhile. But I can't take years and years of this stuff.

    Also, opinions can't be wrong. Like I said, I used to be a fan, and I'm not saying it's a crap show now. I still watch it. But 6 seasons is a long time to watch House and his team continually misdiagnose a patient until House has a random conversation about something else (usually with Wilson) and he does his dramatic pause and runs off to save the patient.

    Plus I hate Foreman & 13 and I only really like Chase cause he's cute.

    You can love the show all you want. I just don't find it as interesting anymore.

    That's fine. My main point was simply that I feel the show still has enough interesting stuff in it that keeps the show above most these days.

    She was totally hot if memory serves me correctly, I might not remember her face very well, but she had a bangin' body.

    I kind of got bored of this show for awhile, though it is a really good show. Recently watched the opening to season 6 (where House is in a nut house), and I thought that was incredibly good. It's just a shame that people are saying it reverts back to the same old same old.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    House has always been a misanthropic jerk, that isn't going to chance overnight. Something like that will take a long time to change, but if you watch you can tell that he has started to change.

    Yeah, House does change. It's not in lame, cliche obnoxious ways, which was a relief (and something I was dreading), but it subtle ways in how he reacts to things. And last week's episode had a slightly more obvious example of this change. I think the writers did about as good a job as they could have; it is all done very realistically.

    And now, it's time for me to watch this week's episode.

    Ok, last night's episode was good, and Lucas continues his quite admirable attempt to make me not hate him. I did not see that coming.

    Also, this episode had more examples of House changing. It was fairly obvious House was pushing Marcus and Foreman together.

    I really enjoyed this episode, House is actually changing more and it had a nice plot twist at the end. I totally didn't see Lucas being involved. I actually really like Lucas, I was very excited to hear he'd be coming back after his initial run. And I kind of had a "d'awww" moment after Foreman and Marcus bond.

    This show has inspired me to change back to the my old Raistlin House-style sig that Rye made for me a few years ago.

    Is it just me, or should Dr. Nolan have been playing a 12-string guitar in the 1930s?
