Life after Wilson?

As I watched The Oranges today, it struck me that this movie could easily have been a House sequel, if it were tweaked a bit. Remember the teenager who had a crush on House due to a microbe that turned her tears pink (House eps. Informed Consent & Lines in the Sand)? The movie The Oranges shows us what might have happened with her (yes, the same actress is here!) – after House recuperated from Wilson’s death. There’s even a car-destruction scene reminiscent of House driving into Cuddy’s home. It was fun to watch, imagining that this was his life after Wilson.

That's funny you should say that. After i saw this movie, i thought the scene of David and Nina in Atlantic City would be exactly what would've happened if House and Ali had dated once she turned 18.

Hugh put so much of himself into House that House tends to seep into other roles. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

I know what you mean. It's like Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap. All his talents were exploited so exquisitely that everything he appears in since then is mild in comparison, and perhaps even a letdown.
