House M.D.
 

No one is talking about possibly my favorite television show right now. Last week's show was awesome, and i can't wait for his suspension this week. Am I the only hooked?

I enjoy the show and I really dislike Detective Tritter just because he has a similar personality to House and doesn't realize it. Do you think House will go to rehab?

Oh I'm hooked. lol. And Tritter's vindictive, but I think from his perspective he's doing the right thing. I got the feeling it may have started as a vendetta, but it's not just that anymore.

Loved that line that Wilson said about 30 pieces of silver.

Anyone else notice the similarities between the last season of The Shield and this season's House?

Last season of The Shield had a cop introduced whose only purpose was to find out the Strike Team's dirty secrets and bust them despite their hard work. It eventually split apart the Strike Team and ended up with the cop-buster ruining their careers.

This season of House has a cop introduced whose only purpose is to find out House's secret addiction and bust him despite his hard work. It is splitting apart the House group. :lol:

I've been addicted to House since it first came on. I'd like to see a crossover show where he and Dr. Brennan (from Bones) have to work together hehehe

Im loving this stuff this season, but then Im as big a David Morse fan as I am a Hugh Laurie fan

I like the conflict; I just think they should've found another way to split House off away from everyone else.

I mean, in the real world it seems like Detective whateverthehellhisnameis wouldn't be able to push things as far, but what do I know?

I like the show, I like Laurie and I like Morse, but it's getting a little old.

I liked the first two seasons, but it's really redundant - even with the dick cop. I've always liked Hugh Laurie. Blackadder the third was hilareous.

They showed "Three Stories" again this last week, and I couldn't help but think that getting House out of his element like that once in a while would make the show a little more interesting over the long term, and exploring some of his history, as well as that of the others (in more ways than just little blurbs of information) would also be more interesting.

And I really hate this storyline with Tritter. I understand that he is supposed to be House's Moriarty, but he just annoys me, and the way he goes about things just seems this side of legal.

Agreed. Tritter is not but a bully, hardly a worthy adversary. If there were to be an arch enemy to House, it would be House himself. His internal battles and coming to terms with himself are a lot more entertaining than Tritter could ever be. If Tritter were smarter, then maybe, but he just strikes me as a typical police officer that uses his power on vendettas. Mundane.

Redundant? yeah. But fantastically so. This is my favorite show on TV no doubt.

I do hate Tritter though.

My big problems with the whole cop going after House storyline is that if I wanted to watch a cop show I'd watch any of the many cop/cop related shows on TV.

Hmm, Tritter I was on the fence about, but after the end, I have come to the conclusion that he is just a complete asshole. I mean, House admited to the problem, which I didn't think would happen, and Tritter denied him after giving him a deadline that he met. All in all I liked the episode though.

My other problem with the whole Tritter storyline is that the name of the show is HOUSE M.D. so gee do you think House is gonna get locked away for his actions? Bah I say. Stop turning House into a cop/legal drama.

mOrpheus...EXACTLY!! There is a reason I don't watch Law and Order, CSI, NCIS, etc....they are madly boring. At least with House you get the illusion of something being medically relevant. You don't have to worry about legal jargon, just medical jargon.

House is one of my favorite tv shows on right now.

I agree with many on Tritter. Kind of throws the whole show off topic but it is interesting seeing House go against someone with a similar personality/attitude as himself. Can't wait to see how this all plays out in the end...

I think Tritter as a character only serves to focus on House's addiction which has been a plot device since day one. House further deteriorates, both physically and morally, with each episode this year.

I wonder if the "thought police" couldn't abide the "brilliant junkie" and what influence that may have on the viewing public. I would prefer to believe that this plot line has been planned from the start.

I bout fell out of my chair this week when he went to take the deal with tritter, I never in a million years expected he'd do that. Makes me mad we have to wait til Jan 9th for a new episode!!!

For those who comment on the redundancy, welcome to sitcoms.
Shows like CSI, L&O, House, etc. all follow a structure. At least the Tritter story has helped deviate slightly and allowed for some deeper insight into House's life. With his personality on the show, you would never know anything about him without this story.

Well, that explains why I actually like the Tritter storyline. Although L&O and SVU are pretty much the only ones I watch.

After seeing Tritter seemingly remove the rehab option from the table, I'm hoping that House and/or Wilson will find a way to a yet unseen third option. The "Tritter needs House's medical expertise" idea could work, but I'm more interested in giving the cop a taste of his own medicine - perhaps, since he's much like House in other ways, he has an addiction of his own. Something different, of course, and perhaps something unexpected.

I've said all along, something will prob happen to Tritter that will require House's "expertise", its predictable though so Im hoping they go another route

If thats the case, Im hoping its gay hookers and meth, a la Ted Haggart.

I only recently (as in the past month) began viewing House. I find the title character to be a laugh a second. I realize he is meant to be shown as an abrasive doctor in all ways; his deadpan delivery of certain lines just gets me guffawing.

I just got done watching the first season. I picked it up because I was bored. I like House a lot, he's a doctor I could enjoy having. But really, they need to do SOMETHING with that show. I can sum up every episode they've done so far.
"Hey look, I'm sick"
"hey you got this"
"Oh shit it's not that"
"Oh shit, he about to die"
**notice something off the wall**
"Oh look, it's really this"
"hey, I'm cured, thanks doc"
"Fuck off"
*roll credits*

the greatness of the show is the fact that house has only one or 2 things in his life that are worth doing, and to everything else he is just a complete ass about.

love the show, have the first 2 seasons on DVD, third one will be added as soon as it comes out.

Mmm, I can't wait for tonights episode. I bet that House will get off because of a technicality, some of the stuff Tritter did seems a bit beyond the power of a mere policeman.

I enjoy the show, to a certain extent. However, I've seen 4 or 5 episodes, and they all follow this same retoric. Here is a slightly more accurate summation:

"Hey look, I'm sick"
"hey you got this"
"Oh shit it's not that"
"Oh shit, he about to die"
**notice something off the wall**
**House berates the employees and damages their willpower to teach them a lesson**
"Oh look, it's really this"
"hey, I'm cured, thanks doc"
"Fuck off"
*roll credits*


It's basically Matlock. Every single episode is the same, with new characters.

It was so great to have a new episode!!

I have to admit I thought the ending scene in the courtroom was kinda lame as far as Tritter's response....Im hoping thats not the end of him.

I LOVED finding out that he hadn't really given in and that he was still taking the Vic's....if they do it right something major should come out of it.

I was very surprised to see Cutty lie for him though

I was rather disappointed to find that he was still taking the vicodin.

Still, he did apologize to Wilson. That counts for something.

If he HAD been off the vic's it would have been too "un house" for me to be able to take it

I liked Tritter's going-out line. It kinda redeemed his character and gave the implication that House's "you son of a bitch" rant was off the mark. (And I had been nodding along with that rant.)

I'm so glad that there is not another new episode for 3 weeks, I really hate having back to back new episodes after a long hiatus .

I remember waiting for Futurama.....*tear*

See I was just the opposite. I was so happy to see that he was still on the vicodin. Hopefully we can now leave the cop storyline to cop shows.

House
 

Man, this show rocks! I love the sick humor of House. I just saw the past two episodes, but im hooked. Very interesting relationship between him and the female boss.

Anyone else watch this show?

Another three week layoff. I guess they have to space them so far apart so that House will have time to hobble around to catch the next episode.

or to schedule around American Idol

American Idol only lasts three weeks this year?

no, but if I remember right its three shows a week for the next 3 weeks until they are from the top 24 to the top 12

I really liked this last episode even if some of the medicine was iffy. House with Cuddy and the curiosity conversation with Wilson were just hilarious not to mention how awesomely gross the ending was.

Ok, this is driving me nuts, what was the first song House played on the piano tonite?

****nevermind I figured it out.....It was I Dont Like Mondays

i hate these house layoffs we see a new episode like once every 2 weeks

/rant

Anyone else disappointed by the "faking cancer" storyline?

Not so much that he would fake cancer. That line, "No, I was sure it was cancer" when he was confronted with the "good" news just didn't sit well. His three yokels figure out it wasn't cancer, but House didn't?

I did enjoy seeing Dave Matthews though...that guy's a pretty good actor as far as musicians go :)

Im gonna say i did not see that ending happening i figured foreman would just come back...

what do you think of the game Cameron is playing? I first I thought she was trying to use her feminine wyles to keep the team together, but I'm not sure how her leaving helps with that.

Dave was in there?? Man I must have been really drunk b/c I didn't notice at all.

Well, a couple of months ago, yeah. He was the piano guy that had part of his brain cut out. If I remember correctly...

As far as the season finale goes, I think it was awesome. I was so incredibly tired of those particular three especially Foreman. Speaking of which, how great was that last scene between him and House?

Do you guys really think they are gone though? I could see one, but not all three.

I doubt they're gone for good. Despite this episode's emphasis on change, House the series generally has very little change. Vogler, Tritter, House getting shot and getting his leg working again all resulted in the status quo. Aside from some subtle personality changes like Cameron being less sweet and naive and Chase actually contributing something, House and co is still the same. Plus Omar Epps said in an interview that he would be back next season.

That said, I really liked this episode. It showed House being a little more human, or at least trying to when he asked Foreman to stay and smoking the cigar with the Cuban. It's also nice to see Cameron and Chase together since they're engaged in real life.

From what I understand all three of them have resigned for the next season. I was also reading last nite that because of Fox's baseball obligations the new season starts August 9th...I guess we'll see how true that is.

I read several things last nite with people speculating that House is actually still in a Coma and this season was the "dream" season....any thoughts on that?

Oh god, no deam seasons please, thats jumping the shark plotlines.

Can you post a source to all three leaving?

umm are you reading "resigned" as in quit? its resigned as in they re signed their contracts

LOL. For future reference, if you want to say it as in "signed again" it is "re-signed" If you want to say it as in "left" it is "resigned."

Never noticed how one little hyphen literally completely reverses the meaning of that word!

ROFL, thats hillarious, I totally and completely misread what you wrote :) You've made me feel better about House again, hehe

re-signed?

Nuts.

Maybe that new position they offered Foreman is to lead a super team of twenty-something doctors who will take on House each week in a contest to see who can diagnose the death dealing disease of the week. A medical mod-squad, if you will, with theme music and multi-colored lab coats.

And Foreman smirking. I hope there's lots of Foreman smirking.

I'd be just as glad if Foreman was gone, I cant stand his character

I love them all...they clash "blend"fully...lol. The season finale was very good.

oo man, the finale was crazy. I wonder wut's gonna happen next season. New cast?

I have nothing important to contribute, but I would like to add that everytime I see Dr. House in the show's ads, I expect him to say, "No, it's pronounced EYE-gore."

if they go with the dream season i might actually cry that would kill everything

..sneaks in thread....
I never have seen this new show but I am a huge fan of Black Adder and Hugh Laurie's work in those numerous productions. He does a very good American accent from the trailers I have seen of House
...recedes back into shadows...

New Season starts tonite!!!!

So freaking stoked!

ahahaha love wilson and the kidnapped guitar

oh man I have to say I didnt see that end coming

That part was highly amusing :D

I want to see a show about Dr. Buffer, a savant janitor.

We're a couple of months behind over here - I just watched the season finale on Hallmark (we get a British version on cable) and was interested in how they resolved the entire team leaving - so I may go and look up some spoiler sites.

The whole House thing passed me by until very recently, when I bought Series 1 on DVD in a sale.

This weekend I bought Series 2 in another sale, and I saw most of Series 3 over the past couple of weeks (Hallmark ran an episode every weeknight at 9pm).

I think Series 4 is running on the UK station "five" (always lower case, always spelled out!) in a few weeks/months.

I've collected every episode and like the show very much.
Same with Bones and Robot Chicken.

Well, no one has really discussed this season....but for anyone that HAS been watching, I'd love to know what you thought about the season finale....

I admit...I cried...and cried some more. Spoiler: I really found it unnecessary to kill off Amber.....Wilson really deserved a chance with her and I was looking forward to more antics between House and Amber in the custody sharing of him lol

Im really not sure how much I liked this season......I just cant get into the new people, I dont like any of them, not like I did chase and cameron (forget Foreman, cant stand him)

I watch it!

I couldn't believe it. Bawled my eyeballs out.

Definitely a different season. You could feel the bonds between the original "gang". It's funny how they're all still there in a small way. I hope the network's listening to their audience.

I agree; an unnecessary ending.

I missed a lot of the season, I think it got screwed with big time too with weeks and weeks between episodes.

I think the season finale also makes a path way for you to better like the new characters; you find out something about Kutner, you see Taub cuddle up to his wife at the end. I think next season has a lot of potential to really dig into the backgrounds of the new staff.

But *sigh* I still miss Chase and Cameron!

**Also** Cuddy has a much more amazing body than I expected in her little strip tease dream sequence...unless that was a body double...

My guess? Wilson will forgive House and they'll finally become a couple. It's inevitable.

yeah something about seeing her in rhumba panties tickled me to death lol

I gotta admit, I never liked the Amber character, and was happy when she was cut from the group. I was also disappointed when they brought her back as Wilson's GF. So while the ending affected me, it did for different reasons than most. I am interested in seeing what lengths House goes to get Wilson's friendship back, or, if he is unable to, to what new low he will hit in his personal life.

That finale I thought was pretty great. I was kind of sad to see Amber die, I wasnt a fan of her at the beginning but her storyline with Wilson and the interactions with House did start to get interesting. Plus it was nice to see Wilson at least finally in a relationship.

I'm fine with the new batch of doctors, and I like how the old ones are still involved.

I think Amber had to die because she was the female version of House and you can't have two Houses and this is the fourth season, so someone had to die just so everyone can watch what happens in the next season.

The story line was actually really clever. Reversion therapy combined with hallucination in order to make a diagnosis? Very clever, House writers.

Funny, I liked Amber more than the other newbies.

They have some great writers. It's amazing how they can keep coming up with new material and work in some great characterizations. Is this a group that have worked together before? Anyone know?

I really didn't want to like the season finale. I was all ready to think that it was trite; killing someone off in the season finale is a cliche. I found myself bawling through most of the episode. Couldn't help myself. I wonder if Amber will be back in any other form next season. Never know!

I was moved by the season finale. I thought it was great to see such a drastic change in House, how Foreman acts more and more like House, and how House at the end knew his problems, and that none of them hurt him when in his head. I really can't wait for the next season. I really see a big change happening in House.


And for the most part I like the new characters. I prefer Kal Penn's character, and I like most roles Peter Jacobson has, especially after recognizing him in The Lost Room.

Now we know Number 13 has Huntington Disease and sort of likes women.

A friend sent me this.
http://itsnotlup.us/

That's fantastic. :lol:

I really dug this season. Not so much about the disease, but more about the cast, which is just fine and dandy as far as I'm concerned. I really had no feelings for Amber either way, but I am kind of glad to see her go because now we'll get to some nitty gritty Wilson/House stuff, which is sure to be pretty good.

The thing that impresses me the most is that House finally acknowledges he's miserable. He says everybody lies and here he is living a lie the whole time.

I'm actually looking forward to some awkward tension between House and Wilson next season. There are a lot of rooms for drama with that premise.

itsnotlup.us
 

M0rpheus--that's fantastic! Thanks for sharing that. Why the hell isn't that a trailer for House? I guess it's sort of an inside joke to regular fans. but still...

:)

Oooo, I need that on a shirt for sure!:thumbsup:

Kutner!?!?!? WTF!

I'm pissed. Kutner was my favorite character besides House!

Aww damn, something happened to Kutner??!!

Awesome episode! Curious to know how they're going to carry it into next week.

Yeah... I don't think I'd go the "Awesome Episode" route, but to each their own.

I'm a little confused as to why it was so sudden - anyone know if he got fired or something?

Also, has anyone gone to the memorial site? FOX Broadcasting Company: House: Lawrence Kutner 1975 - 2009.

Creepy...

I knew a death was coming....they'd been talking about it for weeks, I was praying it wasnt Wilson. Kutner wasnt my fav, but if I'd had to pick I'd have picked Forman or13 or Taub. I guess I just still miss Chase and Cameron working with him

'House' exclusive: The shocking story behind last night's big death

Apr 7, 2009, 05:20 AM | by Michael Ausiello

Categories: House

Kalpennhouse_l DEFCON 1 spoiler alert! If you haven't seen last night's House, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward!

Here are the six things you need to know up-front about last night's House:

• Yes, Kutner was the subject of my "suicide" blind item.
• No, his death wasn't a figment of House's Vicodin-impaired imagination.
• Yes, Kal Penn has left the show for good.
• No, he wasn't fired. He asked to go. (And man, wait 'till you find out where he's going.)
• Yes, this was the "cataclysmic" event that Hugh Laurie has been teasing all year.
• Yes, the trio at the center of this grim turn of events -- exec producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs, as well Kal Penn himself -- spoke to me exclusively about the surprising story behind Penn's exit, the decision to have the seemingly well-adjusted Kutner take his own life, and whether the tragedy will drive House-Cuddy and Cameron-Chase closer together or further apart...

Part I: Kal Penn

I understand it was your decision to leave House. True?
KAL PENN: Yes. I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I'm going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They're basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign.

Will you actually be working in the White House?
PENN: This particular office is in the executive building. The White House has two buildings: the actual White House and an old Navy building called the Old Executive Office.

Are you there as long as Obama's in office?
PENN: A lot of that stuff is up in the air. This is a relatively recent development.

Safe to say you're taking a huge pay cut?
PENN: Oh, yeah. There's not a lot of financial reward in these jobs. But, obviously, the opportunity to serve in a capacity like this is an incredible honor.

How long has this been in the works?
PENN: I've been thinking about [moving into politics] for a while. I love what I do as an actor. I couldn't love it more. But probably from the time I was a kid, I really enjoyed that balance between the arts and public service. I went to a performing arts high school, but I still took a bunch of those dorky political science classes. It's probably because of the value system my grandparents instilled in me. They marched with Gandhi in the Indian independence movement, and that was always in the back of my head. So the past couple of years I thought about it a little more. And in '06 I started this international studies program at Stanford, where they actually let you do most of the course work online. So it was something I could do while I was acting. And I thought this might be the right time to go off and do something else. The ultimate irony, of course, is that I love being on House. There's not a smarter group of people that I've been surrounded by in television. So I thought about it for a very long time before I went and talked to David and Katie.

What was that conversation like?
PENN: We had a very long discussion. And I remember David saying, "Are you telling me that you're unhappy with the show and that you want to leave so you can go off and do a different show?" And I was like, "Not at all. I'm actually saying the exact opposite, which is I'm having an incredible time, but there's something aching in me to do something completely different and take a break from the acting thing for a while." And with their blessing, we were able to work it out.

Are you retiring from acting?
PENN: Not necessarily. Who's to say where any path leads? I still have a passion for it. But for the time being, I won't be acting.

How did you react when you found out how they were writing Kutner out?
PENN: One of the things I love about our show is you never know what's going to happen. So that news struck me in the same way we hope it strikes the audience: there was a little bit of anger and some depression. You really go through those emotions, especially when somebody dies in that fashion. Ultimately, it was a really interesting choice for them to make. We don't really know why he did it, unless it's resolved in the episodes after [I left], which, of course, I'm not privy to anymore. At least in [last night's] episode, we don't really know why he did it. There's no note. There's no explanation. And as a testament to David and Katie, that's a huge risk. 'Cause it is going to make people upset, and it is going to piss off some of the audience. And, ultimately, in my opinion, that's what art really is -- when you can conjure up those kinds of emotions. And it's rare nowadays to be able to do that on network television, but they managed to.

Were you disappointed that you didn't get to shoot the requisite good-bye scenes with your co-stars?
PENN: From my selfish perspective, you want one last scene with Hugh, you want one awesome bantering scene with Peter, you want something where you and Olivia [Wilde] are doing a diagnostic together. But I had known a couple weeks beforehand [that Kutner would just abruptly commit suicide], so I was conscious in previous episodes of, 'Okay, this is probably the last time I'm going to get to do a scene with Peter, and this is the last time I'm going to be on screen with Robert.' And, of course, we're all still really close friends, so I've seen them a ton of times since I stopped shooting.

What were your emotions like on your last day?
PENN: It's always emotional when something incredible comes to an end. The feeling would have been very different if I was not enjoying myself, and if I didn't love the job. But because I loved the job and the character and the people I'm working with, I think bittersweet is the probably the best way to describe it. The contrast of knowing that I want to move on and do something completely different, with the incredibly violent and incredibly depressing thing that happens to my character... I think bittersweet is the only way to describe it.

Are you bummed you won't be around to experience firsthand the fallout from Cuddy and House having sex?
PENN: Do they really?

That's the buzz.
PENN: See, I didn't even know that. If that's the case, yeah, it's a bummer to not be involved in an episode like that. It's the emotional stuff that really gets the characters riled up, so if that's actually happening, it would be neat to see. [Pauses] Well, not see. To be part of scenes like that. [Laughs]

Part II: David Shore and Katie Jacobs

When did you first learn Kal was thinking of leaving House?
DAVID SHORE: It was very early in the process that he told us that he might [at some point] want to move on and work in politics. He has been involved in a number of other things [while working on House]. He worked very extensively for the Obama campaign and he's been teaching at Penn. Kal is a man with broader ambitions than the entertainment industry. So he spoke to us and said, 'I love the show and I love working with these people, but there are things that I would like to do.' And you sort of think, 'That's admirable, but there's no way he's going to do it.' This is a good gig he's got here.
KATIE JACOBS: As time went on, it was still on his mind. And then we took a writers retreat right at the beginning of December and David sort of had this "A-ha" moment about how to both free Kal up to pursue other things and, most importantly, service where David wants to go at the end of the season with House's story.
SHORE: The fact that it happened over a long period of time allowed him to pursue his goals as a human being, but also allowed us to make it work within the confines of the show.

So why not just have Kutner take a new job at a different hospital?
SHORE: The suicide was essential to [the story]. The lack of reason behind it -- the lack of answers -- was what I responded to and is what I got excited about. House, the man of answers, doesn't have an answer about this guy who he has worked with for two years.
JACOBS: And he didn't see it coming. It gets under his skin. He is the man who can't rest until the puzzle is solved. So the idea that he worked in such close proximity to Kutner and didn’t see it coming [was an interesting story to us].
SHORE: It makes him question the most important aspect of himself, which is the ability to find answers. It's the one thing about himself that he feels good about.

If anyone on House's team was going to kill him or herself, the likelier candidate would have been Taub (Peter Jacobson). Were you intentionally setting up a bait and switch?
SHORE: A little bit. But also, oddly enough, we wanted it to be a character who didn't make sense -- or didn't superficially make sense. Obviously, there are reasons, but the notion that the reasons are too complicated for even House to figure out is what was drawing us to it. I like the fact that Kutner is almost the least likely guy to do this. And it gets down to the issue of, "Do we know anybody? You work with somebody for two years, but do you really know them?"

There's an opening on House's team now. Will Chase or Cameron fill it?
SHORE: No, there's a different Chase-Cameron storyline coming up. We touch on it, but that's not really where we go with it.
JACOBS: There's fallout in every part of the hospital because of this. This will affect everybody.

Are you planning to fill the position?
SHORE: Not initially. It's not going to happen this year.

There are rumors that Chase and Cameron may be getting married. Care to comment?
SHORE: No. But [Kutner's death] does affect them as a couple. When somebody close to you dies under any circumstances, you take stock of your life and you want to go home and hug somebody. We worked hard to let everyone react [to the tragedy] in a different way.

Does it bring Cuddy and House closer together?
SHORE: The way House reacts ultimately brings House and Cuddy closer.

Any more cast changes looming this season?
JACOBS: This is the only one you'll see this season.

Okay, Ausholes: Take a few minutes to absorb everything you've read before... alright, minute's up -- react away in the comments section! Oh, and be sure to check out the eleborate memorial shrine Fox has erected in Kutner's honor.

Point of order on articles by other organizations...

Isn't it poor form to copy an entire article in a message board? (Not to mention, it might get the admins in copyright trouble) I thought the accepted practice was to link to the article, with maybe a choice excerpt or two.

Dammit, I was really hoping it'd be Taub since no one seems to like him.

Edit: I prefer that Kutner simply went missing without any trace. The mystery would still be there but there's a chance of him coming back.

I wonder how Peter Jacobson feels when a good majority of comments I've seen say "I wish it would have been Taub"? Is it a good thing, as an actor, that you are so talented at being annoying that people want your character dead? Catch-22

What I'd really like to know is whether Kutner owned a dog or not. Because if he didn't own a dog, House would know, and it would have been a lame excuse for Taub to use. If he did own a dog, where was it when they found the body?

I thought it was a bit random that the show would suddenly kill off a character and then I read the interview/article and it all made sense. I really liked his character and it is unfortunate the way he died, but at least something exciting happened in the episode.

Nah. We do it all the time. Appropriate credit was copied along with the article, so no foul. The only thing that I might have done differently would be to include quote tags. Daval's an old hand at this. ;)

Wow...I don't even watch the damn show and that episode made me cry.


On a lighter note, did anyone else find it amusing that Meat Loaf's character was named Eddie? :)

I wondered if anyone but me caught that!!! It made me giggle
