House, M.D. - Season Two (2004)

I Love It

After the triumphant debut of the first season of House, many people believed it couldn't be topped. How wrong they were. Season Two not only shut up all the skeptics, it slapped them for even being doubtful. Season Two not only had the absence of the annoying character of Vogler, it gave us a deeper insight into all the characters. At the end of Season One we were introduced to House's ex Stacy. During Season Two we're given a more complex look on their past and their true relationship. The Stacy/House episodes introduce to the fans a deeper complexity to House and we see a more genuine side, rather than the typically cynical House we're used to.

There is one episode which I found a bit too much and felt it was pushing to be controversial. I know it still had a point and didn't fail to entertain and give some deep meaningful message that some will miss somewhere. I'm not going to tell you the episode as you will all know it when you see it. This season also features two very tough to deal with episodes as Foreman is taken down by a life threatening disease, that even House struggles to solve.

As always the show is filled with excellent quotes by House and the team. Below are some of my picks.

From Episode 1: Acceptance:

Foreman: "Aren't there better ways to spend our time?"

House: "Good question. What makes a person deserving? Is a man who cheats on his wife more deserving than a man who kills his wife?"

Foreman: "Uh yeah. Actually, he is."

House: "What about a child molester? Certainly not a good guy, but he didn't kill anybody. Maybe he can get antibiotics, but no MRIs. What about you? What medical care should you be denied for being a car thief? Tell you what: the three of you work out a list of what medical treatments a person loses based on the crime they committed. I'll review it when I get back."

From Episode 5: Daddys Boy:

House: "Gimme a reason to get out of this, and I'll tell you who started the rumor about you being a transsexual."

Cuddy: "There is no such rumor."

House: "There will be unless you get me out of this dinner."

From Episode 24: No Reason:

House: "Here's how life works: you either get to ask for an apology or you get to shoot people. Not both." August 4, 2008

House=Unique

House rocks! I rarely watch TV, but stumbled upon the show one boring evening looking for something to do. Since then, I have ordered all the DVDs and have pre-ordered the fourth season. I identify with the House main character who goes against the grain to fight for patients lives. I am a teacher who has also had to go against the grain to fight for what is right for my students.

House M.D.

This season was as innovative and captivating as the first season. All the episodes had a unique and new disease, some of which being devastating some being comical. House lives up to his reputation as a brilliant doctor and refreshingly cruel person in his honesty. This season is ended with a pivotal and almost horrifying finale; Dr. House's life hanging in the balance. June 16, 2008

More mysteries, more House!

I immediately started renting this season as soon as I watched the first, and this one is so much better! The mysteries are more messy, weird and gruesome! From House acting like a teenager pursuing his former girlfriend, to a shooting with an ending that messes with your own head.

Fav. Episodes:
Acceptance
Autopsy
Hunting
The Mistake
Need to Know
Skin Deep
Euphoria 1&2
No Reason

Nothing good is on during the summer, so if you need something new to watch and obsess over, House is the best choice!

Season 2

Addictive: the only possible way to describe this show. Through season two, House is still more witty and 'charming' than ever. You get to learn a lot more about the characters in this season as well in my opinion. Everyone faces different obtacles in their life that they must face. All in all, it's anything that you'd expect from this series; wonderful =) June 2, 2008
