House Finale Spoiler: House dies, Wilson dies Everybody Dies… maybe

house-dies-dying-finale-spoilerHouse MD is getting to an end, after eight long seasons, and becoming probably the most beloved doctor on television, even perhaps surpassing the likes of Bill Cosby, Neal Patrick Harris and George Clooney´s characters. Well, now that House is ending, it´s time to theorize how the ending will be.

And here comes a lot of information going around to help us with this. I have to tell you right before we start, I know many people will head to the comments to tell me I´m wrong. And I surely hope I am. It´s just there are too many signs pointing towards Gregory House dying on House Finale that it´s either happening, or it´s a smoke screen from showrunners to steer us in the other direction and surprise us.

Cancelled and Renewed Shows 2012: Fox cancels House at season eight end

house-cancelled-renewed-season-eight-fox-3My lists of cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012 keep growing. And this one I didn´t think I was going to write this year, and instead probably next year.

Fox cancelled House after eight seasons, and the show will end its run when this season comes to an end, so instead of season finale, we are closing in on House Series Finale.

House getting cancelled has been coming for a while, with Hugh Laurie pursuing his musical career, with Lisa Edelstein leaving last year, with only a handful of the original cast members, and with ratings decline. Continue reading

House Casting Spoiler: Odette Annable joins season 8 of House MD

Casting-scoop-house-odette-annable-joining

Photo Credit: TVLine

Michael Ausiello reported it: Odette Annable joins season 8 of House MD as the new member of Gregory House´s team at Princeton Plainsboro.

Do you want to hear some spoiler of House Season 8? Well, I already told you that House will go to jail in season premiere, well, there is where he meets Odette Annable´s character, who then moves on to join the team; a team that needs females, since both Amber Tamblyn and Olivia Wilde are out of it (although Olivia Wilde will be on House season 8, not every episode).

So, Odette Annable is joining House Season 8 as a cast regular, and the producers are still looking for someone to replace Lisa Edelstein´s Cuddy who left House.

By the way…

 

Who is Odette Annable, the new House MD cast regular?

Born Odette Juliette Yustman on 10 May, 1985, in Los Angeles, California, Odette started her career with a minor role in the movie Kindergarden (1990) as “Rosa.” After graduating from Woodcrest Christian High School in Riverside, California, where she was the homecoming queen, she turned to modeling with a few roles through the years. Some of her credits include Danielle Steel’s Danielle Steel: Memories (1996) (TV) and Dear God (1996) with a few guest appearances in “Quintuplets” (2004). In 2006, Odette was cast in Jennifer Lopez’s “South Beach” (2006) where she played “Arielle Casta.” She was then cast in the drama “October Road.” (2007) as “Aubrey,” which has received its second season. She has since been seen in the action monster movie Cloverfield (2008) as “Beth McIntyre.” She is also known as Annie in Brothers & Sisters and Melanie Garcia in Breaking In.

House Season 8 Spoiler: Gregory House in Jail or prison?

Well, we are already preparing ourselves for a new season on House in which Cuddy left House MD for good… but how will that work?
Well, at least there´s a chance to see something in the line of season six premiere when House was in a mental institution. In this case, House will be in prison, can you imagine House in jail?
Well, I know, he had it long coming… but he´s our favourite doctor!

According to Mr Spoiler himself, House production vans setting up shop outside a Los Angeles-area prison. That, combined with some recent casting buzz, strongly suggests that Season 8 will kick off with Dr. Crankypants doing hard time.

What is this all meaning? Let´s see. Gregory House in prison works, mainly because it follow what Cuddy said in the season finale, that she wanted House in jail, but not only that; it can give the sensation of the time passing by and explaining why Cuddy is no longer in; and can also introduce some new characters to the show.

We´ll see how this works out.

House MD S07E18 The Dig Quotes and Spoilers – Thirteen´s back

house-spoilers-quotes-dig-thirteen-jailThirteen is back in House!!! Well sorta… You´ll see what I mean soon enough.
Thirteen has been in prison for the past year, but the real mystery for House is what she did to get there. When she exits the prison, she is taken aback to find him waiting for her, and unaware he’s got plans for the two of them for the next few days. As House probes Thirteen for more information about her crime, intent on solving the puzzle of her mysterious incarceration, they travel to an annual spud-gun competition and join forces to compete against House’s much younger, overconfident rival, and along the journey uncover secrets and truths about each other. At the hospital, the team treats a science teacher suffering from severe respiratory illness, and when the team inspects the patient’s house for clues to his illness, they immediately learn he’s a hoarder. But upon a second visit to obtain more information, they uncover something in the many piles that shocks them. Also, Taub tries to get back into the dating scene, but winds up retreating to his old habits.

Mike Saros also did an excellent Recap of House MD The Dig:

Open with House sending a taxi driver outside a prison. Out walks Thirteen and he hands her a martini, which she promptly chugs. In the car he says he knows that she pled down to excessive prescribing but he doesn’t know what she did to get in there. She isn’t talking.

Masters mentions to the team a 36-year old science teacher who started coughing blood. At the time they all get texts saying House will be out for three days. Just as they attempt to clear the room House calls and Masters makes a pitch that the case might be more than just a simple nose bleed. House tells them to run cultures and search the man’s home for toxins.

House doesn’t tell the team about Thirteen. But he isn’t taking her home, instead bringing her to a chili cook-off-spud gun competition.

Just as Chase wants to write the teacher’s (Brian) nose bleeds off as inhaled bacteria from the locker rooms at his school, he starts coughing up some serious blood.

House takes Thirteen to buy some clothes while grilling her about what she really did to get put in jail for six months about six months after leaving the team. She still isn’t giving up any info. He mentions that she has a background in clean combustion and tells her for four years he’s been runner-up to someone named Harold. She will help as long as she can make a “person stop.”

At Brian’s house Taub tells Foreman he’s been seeing a new young nursing assistant. Inside they see stacks and stacks of junk of every type. Brian is a hoarder: Plus there is no running water, no electricity, etc. They think there must be a psychological component to his problem. Foreman finds tons of fungus and suggests an infection related to that.

House and Thirteen stop at a home. She knocks on a door, a man answers and she promptly knees him in the groin. She returns to the car and says she’s hungry.

Brian tells Foreman and Taub he’s just a “major slob” and Taub points out they found saved ear wax.

House spills the beans about recently breaking up with Cuddy. When Thirteen realizes he’s serious she tells him “I killed a man.”

Brian doesn’t test positive for the fungal infection. The team comes up with the possibility of carbon monoxide and Masters and Chase are selected to return to the home.

Thirteen doesn’t want to talk about happened, but House continues to fire guesses at her.

Curious as to how Taub is able to do so well with younger women, Foreman asks the nursing assistant about him. She tells him he cancelled their date for that night.

House and Thirteen make a stop and she fires his potato gun. She isn’t impressed and has suggestions for how to make it better.

At Brian’s home Masters is fascinated. There is no carbon monoxide, but she wants to stick around and learn more. They find raccoon feces and Chase suggests Q fever. At this point they find a woman hiding under a tarp.

It turns out Brian’s wife Nina is the hoarder and Brian has been living with her.

Thirteen buys supplies at a hardware store, telling House she wants to focus on distance and accuracy.

Foreman secretly checks out Taub’s phone and sees he’s meeting someone at his place during his usual workout class.

Thirteen and House get to the competition. Harold walks over with an even bigger gun and fires off a shot to intimidate them. House and Harold talk trash.

Foreman comes home to find Taub and wife Rachel having sex on his sofa.

The night before the competition Thirteen makes a few more adjustment to the gun. She also tells House that one of his earlier guesses was right, she and a guy she met at a coffee shop went back to her place and he OD’d.

Brian tells Masters that Nina gradually fell into her current state over the past few years. He says he has an appreciation for her view of what is junk. While Brian seems fine, Nina begins to have heart issues.

In the middle of the night House hears Thirteen crying by the window.

Nina had a heart attack, which doesn’t seem to match with Q fever. They think of another possibility which will require a test at Brian’s place. Masters and Chase will go back.

Thirteen slips up while telling a family story and references her dad taking “us” somewhere. House guesses she has a sibling. From there he goes to “you euthanized your brother.” Thirteen says “congratulations” and walks away.

During Brian’s MRI Foreman said he thinks Taub isn’t being fair to Rachel by refusing to let her move on with her life. The test is clean.

The test at Brian’s place reveals nothing by Masters stays to continue looking.

House tracks Thirteen down in the woods nearby. She tells him her brother got to the point where he couldn’t do it himself. In his lucid moments he told her “It’s time.” She used gloves so the only crime she could be charged with was the drugs. She is upset, thinking about the time when she gets that sick and nobody is there to help her. House stares at her without emotion and this irritates Thirteen. “It’s no wonder Cuddy broke up with you.” Back on the range Harold starts talking trash about wanting to get with Thirteeen. House turns his potato gun on Harold.

Thirteen meets House at the police station. He shot a spud at Harold but was let off because Harold hit on the sheriff’s daughter. House mentions that day would have been his one-year anniversary with Cuddy.

Masters arrives in Nina’s room with the oldest thing she found in the house, some baby clothes. The team assumes this means infertility and they tell House this via phone. At this point Thirteen (who has been listening to the case the entire time) tells them they aren’t considering the opposite.

Masters tells Nina they think she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It would explain the symptoms, as well as any miscarriages. She admits to having gotten pregnant three times, which Brian didn’t know. He leaves the room in anger.

Taub tries to end the fling with Rachel. She says no because she’s enjoying the excitement of the current version of their relationship.

Brian returns to Nina’s room and takes her hand.

House tells Thirteen he’ll kill her if she needs it done later in her life. She accepts his offer to be his assistant and says she’ll be at work on Monday.

House MD Spoiler: Is House getting married to Cuddy?

house-spoiler-house-married-wedding-cuddy-hooker-masseuseHello House fans. I´m here with new spoilery thingies.

Is House getting back together with Cuddy? Not for the time being, but he is soon enough (Probably next season though)

Is House getting married with Cuddy? Nope… he´s not. Buuut here´s the catch.

House is getting married in the next episode of House MD.

As Michael Ausiello puts it: “House creator David Shore recently confirmed that upcoming episode would feature a wedding no one would see coming, and the boss man will deliver on that promise this Monday.”

It appears though as House is getting married to one of his masseuses, and he invites Cuddy to the wedding.

Is this something House would do? Sure… but it seems like a gimmick to get Cuddy back.

Wilson will probably try to stop House from getting married to a hooker / masseuse. The team will have to work the case around House´s wedding plans, and in the end the marriage won´t happen or will eventually get anulled.

That´s my bet.

House getting married is a spoiler, I know, but it´s not going to stick. So it´s a partial non long term spoiler.

What do you think about House getting married with a masseuse / hooker? Would you rather see House getting married to Cuddy?

There are things I have done
There’s a place I have gone
There’s a beast and I let it run
Now it’s running my way

There are things I regret
Cause you can’t forgive
You can’t forget
There’s a gift that you send
You sent it my way

So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I’m not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I’m not forgiven
But I hope that I’ll be
given some peace

There’s a game that I play
There are rules I had to break
There’s mistakes that I’ve made
But I’ve made them my way

Some peace

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love

That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head

I’m living in an age
Whose name I don’t know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You’re standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a

From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My mind holds the key

BTW: MikeSaros did a great recap on IMDB.

Open with a bullfighter named Layne pulling off a successful ride. Afterwards he stands strangely still while the bull knocks him across the ring and begins stomped on his chest and head.

Wilson goes to look in on the recently dumped House, whose checked himself into a nice hotel. House has been going heavy on the Vocodin and says his pain is worse. Concierge Carnell references getting House “anything” he wants and House’s mind quickly turns to prostitutes.

House has also called in sick, leaving the rest of the team to figure out Layne. Making things difficult is that his lengthy injury history will make some tests impossible and others useless. Masters learns for the first time about House’s history with Vicodine.

Wilson goes to Cuddy and begs her to give House another chance. While she agrees he deserves another chance, the situation isn’t just about him. She doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to give her what she needs in a partner. Wilson tells her he’s back on Vicodin, advising her to keep an eye on his new patient.

While in a bathtub with a prostitute, House advises the team the standard inner-ear test they used on Layne won’t be enough since he’s such an elite athlete. House is also well aware that Cuddy was in the room listening to the conference call.

Layne passes the inner ear test with no problem. It is also clear that Masters has something of a crush on Layne. After the test he begins bleeding in his mouth.

In bed with a different prostitute, House gets a call from the team. They tell him about the blood in Layne’s sputum. Masters makes a comment to House his being on Vicodin. He lies and tells her he’s not taking the drug.

Taub asks Masters about her attraction to Layne. Even she’s not sure where it’s coming from. Taub tells her not to worry about House and Vicodin. During the scope they notice his eyes are yellowing.

House (who is with yet another prostitute) suggests they need to cut Layne open to get a better sense of what is going on.

During surgery they notice a mass from Layne’s x-ray has disappeared.

They bring the new x-ray to House, who is lying in bed with another prostitute. House suggests an infection. Despite the danger House thinks they should try a ventricular puncture (needle into the brain), which might be slightly safer than a spinal tap.

While performing the test on Layne’s brain the patient’s stats begin dropping. His airway is closed and they have to go the tracheotomy route to get his numbers back up. They notice a strong odor and discover it’s coming from his feet.

The team calls House with an update. While House and yet another prostitute trick Carnell with a fake William Tell-gone-wrong gag, he suggests another kind of infection and they plan to look at Layne’s heart. Wilson shows up looking serious.

To offset the obvious issue with the metal in Layne’s body cavity, the team injects ice water into his body and attempts an MRI.

At the hotel bar Wilson wants House to talk about his problems. House resists.

With smoke literally coming from Layne’s ribcage Taub is able to get an MRI picture. But it doesn’t show anything abnormal.

Wilson goes to see Cuddy and tells her she has to go talk to House. He says House needs her in his life even if the relationship isn’t romantic. But she responds that “I can’t fix his problem. I am his problem.”

In order to see whether Layne might be having small seizures and in need of a dangerous (for him) CT, House suggests having Layne sing along with a metronome. Layne pauses several times without realizing it.

While Wilson tries to comfort House about his current depression Foreman calls with words Layne’s CT was clean.

To find the imperfection in his aorta House wants to put pressure on Layne’s heart until it tears. They can then repair the damage, so long as he doesn’t die first. The team hates the idea, but House goes to Layne with the incredibly dangerous idea anyway. Layne seems okay with the test even though it may mean the end of the career he loves. He is very matter-of-fact about the prospect of moving on to something else and House seems impacted by this. At this exact moment Cuddy walks in needing to talk.

In the hall Cuddy tells House she thinks his crazy idea with Layne is an attempt to fill a void. She thinks his judgment has been affected by the drugs. House is adamant she either arrest his team or get out of the way. Cuddy does nothing.

During the test Layne’s heart has a massive blowout. But Taub, Chase and Foreman are able to repair the damage in time. An almost stunned Foreman says “It worked” and Masters smiles.

Layne wakes up to Masters sitting in the room. She tells him that he’ll be okay as long as he doesn’t get his heart rate up too high. She then awkwardly asks him out. He says “uh” and she leaves.

House watches college kids partying at a bar. The bartender talks about how nice it must be to have your life ahead of you and House stares intently at the group, seeing them in slow-motion as he drinks his scotch.

Cut to House up in his room with several empty bottles around him. We see Wilson downstairs asking the bartender about House. House takes several pills and moves to the balcony. He climbs on top of the railing and looks down. We see Wilson moving through the hotel bar and onto its outdoor patio looking for House. Wilson and everyone else look up and see House. House jumps off the balcony as Wilson yells “No!” We hear House yell “cannonball” and land in the pool. Under the water he smiles. He surfaces and is joined in the pool by dozens of drunk college kids. House pumps his fist and chugs a beer. Wilson shakes his head and walks away.
