Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Dr. House's birth date in the season two finale is 11 June 1959, the same as that of Hugh Laurie. However, this birth date should be disregarded as it was revealed during House's hallucination. The season one episode, 'The Socratic Method', made several references to House's birth date as being in the winter. more

SOCRATIC METHOD is one of the first season's more intense episodes, in which a mother with serious health problems is thought to have substance problems. Her son is like a parent to her, protecting her at every turn. House suspects something far more peculiar going on, and has his team check out the woman's home for possible contributing factors. This is the kind of episode that has hooked me on this show. It plays like a medical episode of LAW & ORDER, which is the highest compliment I can give any TV series. The acting is first rate, the drama is high, and the action is compelling. And we get to see the House team in a different light in this episode.
