Reality is Almost Always Wrong: Spoiler Discussion Thread

*sighs* I'm bored. :yawn: How much longer until Tuesday? I wish I had something more productive to say. I'm just really, really bored.

Wait...it isn't Tuesday yet? Back to sleep I go...

*sighs* I'm bored. :yawn: How much longer until Tuesday? I wish I had something more productive to say. I'm just really, really bored. awww. I'm also completely bored out of my mind right now. What I should do is get of my lazy ass and work out but somehow I don't seem to be able to do that.

Is it Tuesday yet and I need more spoilers!! I always need more spoilers lol.

I literally slept for fourteen hours both Saturday and Sunday because I was trying to make the time pass until Tuesday, and I don't have enough homework to keep me busy.

I've been passing the time until Tuesday by gaining more points in the House trivia on Facebook, sleeping, and not doing my lesson plans for this week.

I've been passing the time until Tuesday by gaining more points in the House trivia on Facebook Me too!! Is it sad that I get sucked into that trivia thing every day?. How many points are you up to now? I'm at 13540 now *need to get out of the house more often*

:shock: I was'nt around for 3 days and I was sure this place would be swimming in spoilers. I guess TPTB are giving us a few days of thunderous silence before the big premiere bang.

Its the weekend lull, Jouse, & its not like we didn't get a huge flow of spoilers last week (heck, we've got them up to ep 4). Newsday has a review up already of eps 1 & 2 - this is mildly spoilery, but nothing really new in content that we haven't already seen, though it is in terms of their take on the episodes. http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/ny-etlede5388054sep25,0,7330948.story

Many season premieres do seem a bit off because they're trying to set something up long term for the arc of the season and do seem like they're just a step along the journey and not nearly the destination. But this writer's reading of the episode really does make me wonder if TPTB have underestimated the appeal of the 3 subordinate characters. I know alot of folks on this board are thrilled with the notion of all House/Wilson/Cuddy but I have to be honest and say that that trio--when given such heavy emphasis last season---resulted in episodes diverging the farthest from what the premise of House is all about. I have alot of trepidation going into this season, actually, though I do recognize the necessity of finding some logical way to get the ducklings into more realistic roles after 3 seasons.

I have read only a smattering of the spoilers, but this review suggests to me that this season is being set up much like the previous ones: the premiere episode establishes an anomalous situation (House refuses cases, House hates the return of his ex-girlfriend, House can run, House has no underlings) and then the next episodes focus on undoing the situation established at the beginning. The second half of the season develops an amalgam that blends the overreaction to the original premise with new character reveals. Then the final episode of each season sets up a new situation to be unravelled in the next season. For my money this season-long structure -- thesis, antithesis, synthesis, new thesis -- works quite well in providing a powerful dramatic engine for the show and I am happy to see how it plays out in this season. Also, I am delighted to have less of the Original Flavor Fellows, more of the new recruits, and heaps more of House, Cuddy, and Wilson.

If the week's mystery feels dull or easy, if we've been-there, done-that in the hospital's character dynamics, the deftly demented Laurie lifts the entire enterprise upon his shoulders I love this description in the Newsday article! :D Has the article been posted in the media thread yet?

houserocket, I didn't because of the spoilery nature of the article.

I'm so sorry. The article had been referred to a couple times in this thread so I thought it would be okay to quote. And I thought the quote was generic enough not to be spoilery. :oops: I'll be more careful in the future.

Houserocket 7 - it's okay to quote the article here in the spoiler discussion thread - that's fine. It's not okay to quote it in the media thread without spoiler tags - that's what saarazaara meant.

Sorry, I misunderstood. On a spoilery kind of note: Did anyone else see the article where Lisa E says that the pregnancy storyline was inserted because she told TPTB that if the show ran for several more years she might want to get pregnant so they wanted the idea floating around?
