A few comments. Someone wanted to know why Chase started to cry when he hugged House. I think it makes perfect sense. Chase lost his own father to cancer relatively recently, and never had the chance to say good-bye. He looks upon House as a father figure and so feels as if he is about lose his father all over again. Of course he is the most upset.

Second, I thought the acting by Kurtwood Smith was magnificent. The tenderness he showed brought tears to my eyes.

Third, the scene with Cuddy and her line about the make a wish foundation was a lot of fun.

Fourth, I really enjoyed the music – but I love music.

Thanks for doing this site, Scott, and thanks for enabling this discussion.

Anyway. Yeah, as Tauriel pointed out, there’s no way those notes could be the ones he played… also, it seems strange for anyone to use Gb instead of F# anyway since F# is more common and if you start on D the logical thought would be a major third over a diminished fourth. *shrugs*

Also, just wanted to point out that technically, the character on That 70s Show is Eric Forman without the “e” (compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Forman and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Foreman) But that’s just nitpicking. It was great to see Kurtwood Smith on House, though, and it was a pretty awesome coincidence… especially since Dr. Foreman did have a pretty big role in dealing with him.

Anyway… yes. Fantastic blog, and keep up the good work! ^__^

Well, guess what, he got the notes wrong. :-D

House plays Bflat D F G Bflat (watch his fingers), but Patrick says D Gflat Aflat B. Apparently they didn’t agree which notes Hugh would play before shooting the scene… :-D

The kiss with Cameron was hot. Cameron has changed so much from the the beginning of the show. I like her much more now.

And that final scene with the restaurant – I don’t understand what people are complaining about. It was perfect. And completely open ended – if you don’t believe House is able to change just like that – then don’t! Who knows whether he actually opened that door or not. Choose to believe whatever you want. I personally hope that he did enter that restaurant.

Peace out.

The illness turns out to be a ruse to trick a confession out of the specialist, who’d deliberately tried to infect Holmes with the disease. Holmes then apologizes to Watson, informing him that he, in fact, had TOO much confidence in him to let Watson examine him. (”What doctor could believe a patient with no fever and a normal pulse was dying?”)
