There were a lot of cute lines, like when House said that the meeting is over because he ran out of names to call someone, but not one of my favorite episodes, and I never cared what happened to the patient. Volger, god was his character irrititating.
I'd take him anyday over the terrible character Morse is playing. The guy just infuriates me and detracts from the show. When is he going away? Does anyone know how many episodes Morse signed for? Characters like him are a good way of ruining a show. Morse is a good actor but his character is unnecessary. He's like William Fichtner's character on "Prison Break," Tamara Taylor's on "Bones," and that stupid headmaster guy on "The OC" back when Taylor was first introduced.
Fox sure knows how to screw with successful formulas to the detriment of their shows.

I am not watching House right now so I can't weigh in on Morse, but it he is worse then Chi McBride as Volger, then I am glad i can;t weigh in, its to bad because Morse is a good acor, I was exctied to hear he was going to be on the show.

I heard it was 7 episodes.
Right on with the FOX comment... also, it seems more prevalent on House where they waste great actors and potentially good characters with lousy arcs (Vogler, Season One... Stacy, Season 2... and now David Morse).
At least ratings spiked up last night, if it falls considerably next week then something needs to be done. However, John Larroquete in a Emmy-bait role appears next week...

House made a crack on the show about Cuddy using Morse as a sperm donor, was that just sarcasm or did they have a scene showing she's really considering that? I missed a bit of it.

The difference between David Morse and William Fichtner (on Prison Break) is that Fichtner has a purpose. He's the villain we're supposed to root against. Morse is just screwing with House, because he hates bullies I guess. Is House really the first guy to ever treat him like crap? If Morse's character always has a sourpuss on his face, then I doubt it.

Yeah.
He's so silly, not a good sign for this show that he's on. It reminds me of the last years of The Practice.

Good episode but David Morse's character remains an annoyance.

GAH the suicide in the end! That's a depressing end, I was hoping for a sappy confrontation between John Laroquette and son.
And um, I hate David Morse. Freezing Wilson's bank account is a little over-the-top. My problem with the cop is that he's too one-dimensional and smug and unfunny to be a foil for House.

I think my biggest problem with the David Morse storyline is how unrealistic it is. In no way would David Morse's character be able to tie up that much time/funding to pursue his ridiculous petty revenge, especially since he has no real dirt on House.
Not to mention Shitter is possibly the least appealing character I've seen on television since Slime from 24 last season.

There's something about this season so far that seems off. I think it might be not enough subplots of the junior doctors and not enough Cuddy. Wilson is great this season though. I am confused about the whole cuddy having a baby thing which they led up to last season and seem to have semi-dropped.

Oh god
My Tritter hate has reached a maximum peak. I honestly enjoyed Slime from 24 much more, at least he was...slimy. Tritter is just a smug, completely unappealing character. He really cannot go away fast enough.

Not a very good episode really. Way too much of that annoying Tritter guy and House crossed the line into cruelty more than normal.

I hope Twitter gets into a crazy accident and would have to take Vicodin and get addicted to it.
Ugh, the parents of the girl were so annoying. Okay episode for me, though I did like the twist in the end on who ended up being the Judas to House's Jesus.

Just a heads up, Fox is repeating season 1's "Three Stories" episode (imo, the best episode of this show ever) tonight.

Tritter has officially crossed the threshold into "Most Evil Characters Ever To Appear On Television Hall of Fame"
Like, no joke, I want to punch him more than Sylar from Heroes, and Sylar cuts open people's brains
Make this storyline enddddddddddddddddddd

I stopped watching it a few weeks ago, the series is boring me this year and I'm not sure if it's Shitter or something more than that. The show seems kind of to be spinning its wheels this season. Maybe it will get better in a month or two.

No one really came off well this episode.
I can't really say I like any of the characters at the moment, and I definitely don't like the show as much as I did last year.

At least the episode was a little better than last week's. Still, the show is currently a shadow of its former self and desperately needs to get rid of Tritter to get back on track.

While I love the bitchy little mom, Shitter dragged the show way down.

Yeah, last night was a huge improvement. Shitter is goneeeeeeeeeeee and House didn't really change and everyone's miserable (yet happy) again. Yay.
Had no idea Jennifer Morrison and Chase (Jesse Spencer, I think?) were even going out.

Yeah, I hate seeing House twitching and foaming from withdrawals. Okay maybe an episode or two, not... seven?
Pretty sure that arc with Tritter will be forgotten by everyone, haha.
