House 5.06 -- Joy
-- I totally want that guy's job.

-- Hey! That's a Mr. Coffee! I've never seen one of those. I mean, I've seen a dripolator, obviously. Just never the Mr. Coffee kind.

-- "I really hate "100% Coffee" brand coffee!" -- ZING!

-- I think this might be one of my favourite cold opens. Very very cool. You can tell it's a Sarafian ep, too. He did direct this baby, right?

-- LET ME GET THIS OVER WITH: THE HOUSE/CUDDY. IT IS AWESOME.



-- House is either going to lose a lot of money, causing House-angst... or Cuddy will keep the baby, so House-angst. IT'S A WIN-WIN, ANGST-WISE.

-- SKUTNER. AHAHAHAHA. SSSSSSSSSSSKUTNER!

-- What a sad place to live... I thought that was all part of the, you know, hallucination.

-- That kid is awesome! She's sort of like a real-life Daria, but young.

-- Sleepwalking = awesome.

-- What a grating thought process.

-- C'MON!!! WHY CAN'T CUDDY'S BABY DONOR BE JUNO??? HUH? HUH?

-- OH GOD DON'T CALL THE CHILD JOY. THAT IS MY GRANDMOTHER'S NAME. NO NO NO. PLEASE DON'T BE DOING THAT.

-- Using while pregnant? Ouch.

-- Cuddy's nervous and obnoxious. ...Awww.

-- Baby upchuck... hahaha. This is like that thing they do where they give high-schoolers the fake baby that cries nonstop, and you have to look after it without going insane. Then you have a baby, and, well. It cries nonstop.

-- THEY'RE JUST LETTING THE GUY DRIVE??? AHAHAHA! GREAT NEGLIGENCE, GUYS.

-- Seriously? I think House would be a good dad. But only sometimes, and only for cool, spontaneous stuff. So there'd need to be another person there to make sure they didn't live on Maccas and whatever. Thoughts?

-- Credit card used to form up lines of sugar = product placement. I'm being reminded of a Kath and Kim line, too. "Oh, is this a Visa? I've only ever seen Gold and Platinum."

-- Hi! We're some squares, and we're here to buy drugs! Pleeeeease sell them to us!

-- I love how Thirteen is suddenly street-wise and awesome.

-- And I love how House stepped nonchalantly over some broken glass after he broke Cuddy's lamp.

-- Cuddy: "You screwed up, and I'm getting a baby!" Ouch.

-- I just knew this was happen. I mean, apart from the whole spoiler thing, I so knew it was going to happen.

-- Placental abruption + premature lungs. I like this development. I mean, it's horrible, of course... but I like it.

-- Ouch. Ouch, House.

-- High school? Wilson, that's a horrible metaphor.

-- Who the hell polishes their apples, anyway? I think Wilson deserved that.

-- ECU time!

-- Isn't this creating all sorts of conflict of interest issues, Cuddy telling the mother to wait?

-- "...a chance to do something great..." While risking your life, yeah. I don't know what I'd do, but still. THERE IS A MASSIVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST HERE.

-- Bacardi ad, Loreal ad, blah blah blah.

-- I love how Chase is super-surgeon now. He does anything! Awesome that they're mentioning sepsis after years of House bursting into operating rooms, too.

-- Oh, Chase. And a 9/10 Apgar! Oh... Joy. </ bad pun, name > But seriously. Exactly HOW premature is that baby?

-- House! How awful. Trust House to always rain on your parade.

-- Contagious sleep-walking! AWESOME.

-- Just showed the shorts for Rock 'n' Rolla. Blah blah blah. How original of Guy Ritchie, making a movie about rock stars.

-- "If they have the same thing it must be a common cause!" WELL JEEZ.

-- Wall clock in the shape of Africa! Haha.

-- Epiphany time! Wilson-comments-on-epiphany time!

-- I thought they were both kind of dulled-of-affect! Anhedonia = awesome. It's like Zach Braff in Garden State. Except, you know, they have a genetic disease. SEE! I WAS ALMOST THERE WITH THE DARIA THING!

-- That drug comment is very telling to House, I think.

-- Hamoud... awesome! Wow. I didn't see that one coming. I thought it might be environmental.

-- I love how they both wake up and go MIRACLE TRANSFORMATION! HOW AWESOME IS THE WORLD RIGHT NOW?!?

-- But seriously, Cuddy. PLEASE DO NOT GO CALLING YOUR KID JOY. IT IS NOT ON.

-- "I can't": um, yeah. Damn.

-- "You have to give it some time." That horror and devastation is played so well, I think.

-- WHY is little-baby-no-lungs just sitting in a basinette in the middle of a fricking neonatal ward? HELLO?!?

-- Oh, Cuddy. Oh oh oh. The direction of this episode.

-- This scene is my favourite scene all season. WOW IT IS GOOD.

-- AHHHHHHH. THAT KISS. You know what I did? I grinned at the screen? Widely.

-- I HAVE TO WAIT TWO WEEKS? WHY, CHANNEL TEN? WHY?
