The co-writer of tonight's episode was Doris Egan. She's slated to be a guest at FenCon this fall as a special guest.

I'm pushing for a House panel this year, and I suspect I won't have too push very hard! Speaking of tonight's episode, did anyone else wonder just a bit about the final diagnosis? Oh, it's early and I won't go into spoilers. Let's give it a couple of days and then I'll open up a blog topic for discussion. How's that?

Interested in meeting up?

Who do you think will make the cut and why? Discuss.

Update: I just lost a huge entry. The upshot: Now that we know who got canned and why, what do you think?

I'll try to add more later but Wednesday is bowling night.

You Don't Want to Know - Discuss

"Bring me the thong of Lisa Cuddy."

Thus House issues a new challenge to his staff of candidates.

I have to wonder how much fun Hugh Laurie must have had with that line. Pardon me while I digress a moment. I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue has been airing on BBC radio for about 30 years. If you're a Britcom fan, you'll recognize a couple of the old farts in that photo in the link. (Steven Fry, incidentally, has sat in the guest chair several times over the years) One of their long-running jokes is puns on the title of the Sam Pekinpah film Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Of course, House probably had this masterpiece of film art in mind.

In this episode we learn that Cole and Kutner hang out together. I can imagine that Kutner had to drag the strait-laced Cole out to the nightclub. And this is where our case begins - not even a red herring - as the magician starts drown seconds into the classic Houdini Chinese Water Torture escape routine.

We certainly learned something new about everyone - including who Cuddy would like to see fired. It was also interesting to see how nearly everyone sucked up to Kutner, and why one doc didn't go through the motions.

And the diagnosis! Holy cow! If you laid money on when that was going to happen, did you win?

Who gets fired next? The preview gave a possible clue, but that could be a red herring. Remember, House fired Taub only to be overruled by Cuddy. And while that appears to be shot over the shoulder of one of the candidates, can we be sure that House is actually speaking to that person?

Now's your chance to discuss. Who do you think will get fired and why?

(By the way the "Leave a Comment" link does work, even though it isn't highlighted. Just click. I'll work on fixing that.)
