Talk:Lines in the Sand (House episode)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Hello sick-people", I am the guy who started the Ali patient history on this page, where I noted that Ali's neurological symptoms would require the formation of a fungal meningitis (a very rare form of meningitis (House's favourite kind)) on the Frontal lobe of her cerebral cortex, which would cause her impairment of judgement and loss of inhibitions (this combined with being a teenage girl (she was introduced as a vain peer-social materialist)) should've caused her to turn into a star of a Girls Gone Wild video (another favourite). Thusly my skepticism reasoned me to also note that we didn't get to see her honky Badonkadonk (I see it as an essential diagnostic criteria for House's diagnosis (of Frontal lobe fungal meningitis)). I also noted the other diagnostic criteria for Coccidioidomycosis which should've been required, but were not present or overlooked for one reason or another.
I mention these glaring issues as I started the article, saw no causation for it's modification, but my fellow House-fans have seen cause to edit-in grammar & spelling mistakes and the deletion of my observations of House's deceptively unjustified diagnosis. I've tried making corrections to their deletions and insertions, but my enthusiasm for this episode has been exhasted by my writing of this critique (work smart not hard).
The new final line however:"It is likely that House lies to her that loving House is a symptom to make Ali leave him alone.", (despite the grammar oversight in this line) this statement would be consistent with the flow of the episode as Ali's final scene came after Cuddy futily bombarded House with a barage of lies designed both to test his experiences-with and undermine his attraction-for Ali. It's not a move I would expect from House ofcourse, mostly because Cuddy ordered him to break-up, but especially since according to the wiki-articles Age of consent, Ages of consent in North America & the below image:

the legal age ranges from 16 in the East, to 17 or 18 in the West. (The actress is 20-something, my rant is purely for the quality of the article.)
I understand that repelling Allison Cameron's pity-love & Lisa Cuddy's sperm-lust is essential to the environment of low sexual tension (with high professional hostility) that House seems to believe is essential to his methods, but saying no to free nooky on the side, without even telling her to "Wait 22 weeks or else!", what was he thinking to be ditching her without even confirming Coccidioides immitis? You know, all that, doctor stuff.  :-] --202.76.178.108 18:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

If you think this is valid to the article, then put it in by all means. Honky Badonkadonk is hardly lingo for an encyclopedia, however. PullToOpen ^talk 03:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

True, slang has little right to be mentioned. Using any terms that you like, surely you too can see the rather obvious errors and omisions in Ali's history. I just think these oversights should be corrected by someone who hasn't had their previous additions deleted when they weren't looking, that's all. As for Ali, I believe she'll figure out some other explanation for her milky tears, maybe from another doctor who might bother to give her some medical evidence to support their diagnosis, then give Ali a reason to come back to House, that is if she forgives him for the rather obvious dis-diagnosis (mis- implies mistaken falsehood, dis- implies deliberate falsehood). --202.76.178.108 16:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

References I don't buy that the Mel's Diner thing is a reference to "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." --75.15.240.202 00:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
