I’m multitasking: watching House, blogging and looking over my Cabal character at the same time. This is how my screen looked like now.
I’d some assignments I’m supposed to complete, but I’m currently not in the mood. I’d been unhappy lately. I couldn’t really focus, and I’m sleeping a lot lately. And I’d not been sleeping enough. I know I sound like I’m contradicting myself. I’d screwed up my biological clock. I got tired. And I’d done nothing. There’s no reason for me to be this tired.
Well, if I go on, this post would be all about me whining. But I don’t want to.
I rather blog about House. I’d come to love this series a lot. I’d just cover up until season 4. Maybe it’s my current mood. Or maybe, the crew of House did a brilliant job for the finale of season 4. It brought me down to tears.
The House MD series is about the limping and sarcastic Dr. Gregory House which would do anything to solve the puzzle, and his diagnostic team. The original fellow of the team was the always agreeable Dr. Chase, the moral questioning Dr. Cameron, and the dictator Blackpoleon Blackaparte Dr. Foreman. House had a best friend called Wilson, which we see House ‘bullied’ most of the time. Cuddy is House’s protective boss, and also one of the true friends House ever had.
At the end of season 3 House’s team was disbanded when House fired Chase, which leads to Foreman and Cameron’s resignation. House then recruited new fellows by having the candidates competing against each other. Originally there were 40 of them, but after a series of eliminations similar to reality TV programs such as The Survivor and The Bachelor, only 3 doctors remained: Taub, Kutner, and Thirteen. The final team includes Dr. Foreman as well.
But the character that made the most impact in this season’s finale is a candidate whom was eliminated from House’s game earlier. Amber’s character was similar to House’s. She’d do anything to achieve her goals. House calls her ‘Cut-Throat Bitch’ or CB for short. While all the doctors whom House eliminate never make any re-appearance, Amber’s character actually became more prominent in the later part of the series.
She dated Wilson, and their romance blooms at full throttle. At the time House discovered their relationship, they’d only been together for weeks. House and Amber fights over Wilson and in the end House comes to approve their relationship. However, the catch is Wilson is shared under a ‘joint custody’. It's funny how two people fight over a grown up man. I’d like to discuss more about the finale I’d just watched. The direction was executed almost perfectly. Salute. Here's the synopsis.
The first of the two episode finale is titled ‘House’s Head’. House had a concussion on his head and couldn’t remember what happened in the past 4 hours. After being hypnotized by Chase, House realizes he got the concussion when the bus he was on was involved in an accident. House is convinced that he’d someone he need to save from dying, and the 4 hours of memory he’d lost is crucial. In this episode, House is hallucinating; as he searches in his mind what is the important thing that he’d forgot. In this hallucination, House sees a young lady in his mind that told House that “I’m the answer”. The young lady is seen wearing an ember necklace throughout the hallucination. As the revelation, we learned that the patient that House needs to save is Amber. She was in the bus with him when the accident happened.
The second part is titled ‘Wilson’s Heart’. This episode showed Wilson breaking down. He was unable to think rationally when his girlfriend’s life is at stake. When Amber’s heart stops pumping, Wilson insisted that House have her on bypass instead of restarting her heart; in order to give House and his diagnostic team had bonus time to sort things out. Housedisagrees, but comply when Wilson’s said, “Please House, this is Amber”.
House struggles to find the true reason why Amber was with him at the moment of accident. Taub suggested that they might have an affair. Wilson is aware of the possibility of an affair as well. When Wilson suggested that House undergo a risky surgery that involves drilling a hole in his skull, and using electricity to shock his temporal lobe to restore his memories, House agrees.
House was drunk. He called for Wilson, but Wilson was on call for work. Amber picked up the call, and went to the bar to pick up House in place of Wilson. House made her pay for the drinks, and they left the bar. They went up a bus. The restored memory made House realizes that Amber is taking a drug to counter the flu she had. However, this became the cause of Amber’s unexplainable symptoms as the kidneys failed to filter the drug, causing all her organs to fail. There’s nothing the docs can do to save Amber, it’s already too late.
After regaining his memories, House had a seizure and the violent shake of his body caused his brain to bleed. House went into a coma in which he wakes up from at the end of the episode. Wilson had a chance to bid farewell to Amber, before Wilson shut her off the bypass.
It’s my favorite episode of House so far. My knowledge of medical aspect is apparently low, but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show. It’s a series worth watching. If you’re reading this, you should catch it. It’s not all medical. It’s as if the doctors are playing detectives to find the culprit, (the disease) that formed the symptoms(the clue). Everyone will love this kinda show.
nxt time giv me watch XD~
