Reality is Almost Always Wrong: Spoiler Discussion Thread

What I thought was interesting about the pic is that Wilson is standing between House and Amber (maybe closer to House) and obliviously munching from a bag of chips. This is different from Frozen and DEC and I suspect meaningful Another good observation. The W/A body language in the few scenes so far, in Frozen they greet each other with a kiss and stand close together touching. When we see them next in DEC they are standing apart from one another making no attempt at any contact and when Amber walks away House takes her place. From what we have in the preview Wilson is standing apart from both Amber and House, although I think he may be standing near to Amber since they are both in the back of the shot, the three are forming kind of a triangle? I don't think however Cuddy is dealing with W/A because they are in the background not really engaged, more observing, and Cuddy's remark is about House's comments and he is up in her face. An alternate take on the Amber driving Wilson back and forth to work, only if that turns out to be the case. Maybe Wilson likes that there is now someone in his life who would go out of their way to chauffeur him around. Someone doing something for him for a change. I still think it's odd and would be inconvenient because he has to wait to be picked up at the end of the day instead of just being able to head home, but maybe the novelty of someone eager to look after him appeals. Or at least that may be what he's telling himself about the situation, how he initially sees it. Re. Amber woking at PPTH, Cuddy wanted her fired so I can't see her now turning around giving Amber a job. She didn't think all that highly of her during the Suvivour arc and Games and based on what she had to say to Wilson about her I don't think that opinion has improved.

But it's still very telling about how easy Wilson lets others take the control. Metaphorically, House used to control his credicard and how much money he has on the bank, now Amber controls where and when he comes and goes. What exactly Wilson controls about his own life? I'm starting to wonder about his clothes! Another simple explanation, as someone already suggested, is that they were at some place to have lunch (or dinner) and House paged him - just to mess up with them - and they came together to PPTH - maybe was Wilson's day off, he probably has one. And Amber working at the hospital? Thanks, but no...

What exactly Wilson controls about his own life? I'm starting to wonder about his clothes!Perhaps, Garanimals for professionals and Amber sewing in property of tags, with her name on them. :wink: I agree Wilson gives up control quite easily, the great manipulator can be manipulated too, and that its something he comes to regret. Probably here too. Another simple explanation, as someone already suggested, is that they were at some place to have lunch (or dinner) and House paged him - just to mess up with them - and they came together to PPTH - maybe was Wilson's day off, he probably has one. That could be, but simple explanations with no psychological underpinnings and ulterior motives, nah. :D

The only reason I can think of for Amber to be there (other than the ones already given) is that she is trying to get House in trouble for his remarks toward her while she was employed at PPTH. I know it's a long shot, but given what Cuddy is saying to House.....

Where is the shot of House outside the bus? I don't see him. But if that is the case, then would he just wander home? I'm assuming he'll have a concussion so that would probably be a bad idea but if he's dazed it's possible, or maybe he goes back to the hospital depending on where the bus crashed and therefore where he is. If you look at the screencaps on MaryKir's site, check wide angle shot with the bus lying on its side and the ambulance and fire truck on either side of that. Toward the bottom of the screen, you can see House (or perhaps Hugh, if it was an outtake) standing outside the barriers. Thanks for pointing that out...I watched the promo but didn't see the screencaps until just now. Could it possibly be an out of body experience? What's up with the last shot of House floating too? So are we supposed to take the various images as just extra shots at the beginning of the promo, or are these shots specifically chosen for those of us crazed fans out there who may find more meaning in them? Could they be more than just random shots? No More Mr. Nice Guy...seems like it could reference House, but thinking back on this season (and prior), lots of talk about God, afterlife, etc. I'm wondering if God plays no more Mr. Nice Guy with House. Someone up above mentioned (sorry, can't remember who...my internet was down for the morning and holy smokes, people are typing like wild fire!)....anyway someone mentioned the nice guy sitting in the ER smiling, that he looked angelic. Could he be an angel? Perhaps someone only House sees? I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see what actually happens in the aftermath of the bus accident...or House's perception of what happens...like some sort of dream sequence/out of body thing. Anyone else notice House's hair looks like it did back in seasons 1 & 2 (in Cuddy's office)? Much more natural looking, no fake fur up there. I like it. Have to wonder if it's on purpose too and if so, why? Have they heard the fans or is it some kind of dream thing? Ya, I'm sure I'm reading way too much into it. Amazing how such a short little glimpse can generate so much talk!

If Amber is still dropping him off (which bugs me actually, reeks of creepy possesiveness) she would have to pick him up. Actually, I could see this working out very well for Wilson. If Amber's picking him up/dropping him off, he has an excuse to get out of House's shenanigans - "Oh, hey, you know how she gets." Then he can tell Amber that oh, if she picks him up, then they can get going where they want on time, because he'll have to leave when she gets there. (And remember Wilson's care and feeding policy...if Amber doesn't have a job at the moment - although she was still taking consults from her old job - he'll look for things for her to do.) Or hey, Wilson's no spring chicken. Maybe he's concerned about his blood pressure, and this way he doesn't have to deal with rush hour traffic in the Princeton area. :curse: :lol: (For that matter, why do we assume Amber was driving? It's not like she's clutching car keys. They clearly weren't at the hospital. Although Wilson was obviously not driving if he was eating. But then...Amber does not seem like the type to let you eat in her car.)

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see what actually happens in the aftermath of the bus accident...or House's perception of what happens...like some sort of dream sequence/out of body thing. That could be fun.

No More Mr. Nice Guy...seems like it could reference House, but thinking back on this season (and prior), lots of talk about God, afterlife, etc. I'm wondering if God plays no more Mr. Nice Guy with House. Anyone else notice House's hair looks like it did back in seasons 1 & 2 Wasn't it already mentioned that the patient in "No More Mr Nice Guy" is an irritatingly nice guy and House thinks it's a symptom? Of course you're right that it applies ironically to House as well, but I don't think there has to be another meaning, beyond that. Season 1 House had longish hair without rug. Season 2 House had shorter hair with rug (and ever since). I don't see much difference with the hair (apart from just a tiny bit more skin showing through. Not enough though to mean that he's not wearing the rug, IMO. Probably just that he's losing more and more of his own hair, which requires a lot of rug updating, I guess. (I feel bad talking about a man's hair this way:( ) I absolutely adored his hair in "Don't Ever Change", because it was cut around the ears (instead of hair combed over them), making him look younger and fresher. :blush:

The only reason I can think of for Amber to be there (other than the ones already given) is that she is trying to get House in trouble for his remarks toward her while she was employed at PPTH. I know it's a long shot, but given what Cuddy is saying to House..... Ooooowee!! I love this idea:) And I don't think it's a long shot. If they go there, it might have a different outcome than we would expect, i.e. Wilson and Cuddy protecting House.

(For that matter, why do we assume Amber was driving? It's not like she's clutching car keys. They clearly weren't at the hospital. Although Wilson was obviously not driving if he was eating. But then...Amber does not seem like the type to let you eat in her car.) You mean they clearly are at the hospital, they're standing in Cuddy's office. That's what makes me think possibly that Amber who doesn't work at PPTH may have come to pick Wilson up since, as we heard in DEC, she had previously driven him to work, when he could have done that himself like he's been doing since we've known him, and if that's the case and still going on it would mean she would have to come back and get him. ETA, while House calling Amber CTB is certainly sexist what racist remarks did he ever make towards her? I don't see Cuddy caring regardless. Amber isn't a patient and she's not an employee and people in those groups have long had to put up with House's abuse, including Cuddy! Amber would have welcomed the opportunity to continue to do so too, given the chance and they all know it. Trying to force Cuddy's hand, not a good way to influence people.

So are we supposed to take the various images as just extra shots at the beginning of the promo, or are these shots specifically chosen for those of us crazed fans out there who may find more meaning in them? Could they be more than just random shots? Just look at the speculation generated by the shot of Amber and Wilson standing in the background in Cuddy's office.

Don't forget what we did with a small casting call list... 27 more days we've got to do something to keep on going. :)

I know it's a long shot, but given what Cuddy is saying to House..... I think Wilson's looking way too calm for that to be the case, granted he's blurred but he's standing back there eating. I think if Amber were trying to get House in trouble he'd be more involved. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see what actually happens in the aftermath of the bus accident...or House's perception of what happens...like some sort of dream sequence/out of body thing. Eh, that's just a little too No Reason for me. It's possible but it seems unlikely the show would go there, it just seems to cross the line of the reality that House (the person) is firmly planted in.

I don't think House has to make racist/sexist comments about Amber. He can create a hostile work environment simply by making racist/sexist comments in her presence. I think calling her "cutthroat bitch" would qualify. How about asking his fellows to bring him the thong of Lisa Cuddy or asking Amber to show him the top of her thong to prove there was no thong cheating going on? What about all the stuff he says to Foreman? I hate Foreman with a passion but right now we're talking about House's racism and sexism. What about outing Taub about the affair he had in front of his peers? Or the worst of the worst "I have a position on my penis." Bad, very bad.

House would have been fired long, long, long ago if Cuddy took any of that seriously. And as LMC mentioned ... look at Wilson in that clip. He's amused. He's sitting back, eating chips and being entertained by watching House and Cuddy -- and not for the first time. That's why my reaction to the scene in the preview was "Hee!" and not, OMG, if Amber's there it must be trouble.
