Factual errors: House questions the students about what kind of snake could have bitten the farmer and says three venomous snakes are native to New Jersey: the copperhead, rattlesnake, and coral snake.

Dr. Eric Foreman: [the Ducklings shoot a clueless look at him] What farmer?
Dr. Gregory House: Snakebite guy.
Dr. Gregory House: [pause] Oh, right, you guys don't know about him. He doesn't get bitten until three months after we treat the volleyball player. Luckily, it's been well established that time is not a fixed construct.

There's a Reason This One Won an Emmy, 17 July 2006
10/10
Author: Jonathan Yu (pointgiven51) from Anaheim, CA

I saw that this one won an Emmy for "Best Writing for a Dramatic Series" in 2005 and rushed through four episodes to get to it. Should have taken my time.

There are times you get too hyped for an episode and then you go see it and you think, "Gosh, it wasn't THAT great." I had worried that the same effect would happen here. I would watch it and then at the end I would go, "I could have written something better." In addition I would have had lost all respect for the Emmy voters.

Good thing it didn't happen.

Proof that David Shore is a scribe worth looking out for is how he handles the events in the story. Going through it, one can see that it's very easy to confuse the watcher. Yet the director and the writer capably navigate the jumble and emerge triumphant.

The story paces like a brilliant novel, where the story is manipulated at whim by the story-teller. I saw it a couple more times to find things I wanted to clear up, but I'm slow.

You might not love it, but you'll go "Dude, that was awesome!" at the end.
