House enters Psychiatric Hospital

<p>Holy God in Heaven! That Greystone facility looks like the setting of a Stephen King Novel.:eek:</p>

<p>While founded as an institution for the humane treatment of the mentally ill, some of its history is very dark indeed. I am an engineer by trade and am generally known for being the practical, skeptical, left-brained sort but that place gave me the willies as soon as I entered and it felt like a tremendous weight was lifted as soon as I left. The movie incident did not help matters.</p>

<p>It is against the TOS here on CC to post links to videos at places like Youtube, but if you were to do a Google search for videos, you will come across some of the place that have been taken by trespassers in recent years that are the stuff of nightmares.</p>

<p>Steven Fry on Bones is wonderful. I suppose we won’t see much of him anymore now that he will be going to culinary school and not being an FBI psychologist.</p>

<p>I thought Steven Fry was a bit young for the Jeeves part, but Hugh Laurie was a most wonderful Bertie!</p>

<p>ya know at first I couldn’t stand the Sweets character- but he has grown on me & I think it is well written
I suppose Fry wanted to stay on that side of the pond :wink:
and I agree- Laurie was a perfect Wooster, but whoever cast him as House also did a great job.</p>

<p>Love this show! It’s the only drama that I make it a point to watch these days.</p>

<p>VH–just to fill in a bit, House discovers a tube of lipstick left in his bathroom the morning after the alleged tryst with Cuddy, takes it to work, and it appears in several more scenes, mostly him twirling it like <in hindsight=“”> he often did with his pill bottle. There is also a coffee cup that shows up several times–late in the episode he’s trying to figure out why sometimes it has lipstick on it and sometimes it doesn’t. (This is making more sense about the reality vs. imagined scenes now.)</in></p>

<p>I can also recommend The Gun Seller–book that HL wrote ages ago. My memory is it got a little too serious toward the end but a lot of it was laugh-out-loud funny.</p>

<p>I have been thinking lately that Gregory House is somewhat the Harry Callaghan of medicine. Dirty Harry always did things his own way, broke every rule in the book and was only concerned with results. Harry also treated higher authority with total disdain, as does House.</p>

<p>Maybe that’s the attraction…</p>

<p>“I know what you’re thinking, did I do 6 tests or only 5…”</p>

<p>As much as I didn’t like season 5, the last three episodes with Hallucination!Amber really redeemed it, IMO, and the new promo up for season 6 (two hour premiere with House as an in-patient at a psych ward) looks absolutely <em>awesome</em> (it’s on youtube). Given the show’s association with NAMI and Hugh Laurie’s own experience with mental illness (he’s spoken about having MDD/clinical depression, and Stephen Fry has bipolar disorder), I think the show just may try to do the storyline with accuracy (well, as much accuracy as network TV and House can muster). I’m really looking forward to it.</p>

<p>And I must say, I’m intrigued by the House/Wilson friendship in this show. It’s written with such closeness and intensity that it almost comes off as unresolved sexual tension without the physical aspect–I wonder if it was planned that way or if it was just a product of the actors’ chemistry.</p>

<p>They mentioned in an interview they were good friends off the set too and that they were like “emotional cripples” on the air, they both need each other for different things. I think that is what you see and why they are close.</p>
