Okay this is the part of the spoiler for 97 Seconds that has me the most intrigued: House experiments on himself to see what happens in the moments when people hover between life and death So, does anyone remember that movie Flatliners (Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland)? That's immediately what I thought of. Of course he wouldn't be able to do that kind of experiment by himself. Maybe he teaches the janitor how to use the paddles. Now I think I'm waiting more for this episode than Alone. Not really, just very curious. :)

It wouldn't be the first time he experimented on himself.

I'm very curious about this ep too, House experimenting on himself is always interesting. Also Kal Penn as Baidwan - did they change the name of the Kal Penn character or what??? its a typo, or his real name or

I know it's not the first time he's experimented on himself, but this is a lot more dangerous, and something he'd need assistance with. Unless I'm reading more into it, than what it really is.

About this experiment about "the moments when people hover between life and death"...I'm wondering if there's a connection here to the "97 seconds." Going off of what iamdaffodils said, perhaps House tries to force a near death experience for 97 seconds. After all, he's been dead for over a minute before. Maybe he thinks he can pay more attention this time.

There were a couple of posts by people who mentioned that they were having problems with the youtube interviews or that they had been taken down? The nice folks at house_cuddy have re-posted them for download - http://community.livejournal.com/house_cuddy/892632.html So, Foreman tries to be like House? I assume it back fires in some way since we know he comes crawling back to Cuddy & House. And the newbies fial to follow up on a treatment - again another patient close to death? The 97 seconds things sounds like its going to be a reference to these near misses (or maybe not misses?).

shutterbug12 - I think you're right about 97 seconds being a reference to House's life/death experiment It makes sense. I just read some reivews of Flatliners because it's been so long since I've seen it, and I couldn't remember - it said they did it for exactly 5 minutes because longer than 5 mintues risks brain damage. But that seems like a long time. How long till Oct. 9th? :)

House experiments on himself to see what happens in the moments when people hover between life and death Oh, this sounds cool. I think it might have something to do with the 97 seconds, as well. I can't get enough of that stuff. I loved 'Distractions' to death for that reason (House treating his body like machine with absolute certainty that everything is going to pan out like he predicts). I can't wait to see it. </giddy> I hope nobody posts a complete summary for this ep too. I'd hate to know too much about the story. I know... I'm posting in the spoiler discussion... I'm a hypocrite. I can't resist sneaking a peek, so I always wish for tiny spoilers or none at all.

Wow. Can't wait to see Wilson's reaction when he discovers House is experimenting on himself. Though I guess House has done enough dangerous things to himself that Wilson might not even react. I can just imagine a scene with House's head in a sink full of water and Wilson walking past "Night, House" "...bubble." (night Wilson)

That just gave me a flashback to Harold and Maude. ;-) Wilson cast as the long suffering parent to the morbid child. Perfect!

I can just imagine a scene with House's head in a sink full of water and Wilson walking past "Night, House" "...bubble." (night Wilson) :lol: That would be great but I doubt it. I swear one of these days House really is going to give my precious Wilson a stroke.

Please, just let it not be a repeat of "Half-Wit". As much as the pizza date intimation was fun, it was such a miserable little episode. Wilson: You'd think you'd tell your best friend you're dying. House: Stop talking to me. Wilson: I'm an oncologist! You have brain cancer! House: Stoppit, no I don't.
