Talk:The Right Stuff (House)

Fired woman

Hey, is possible, that the woman, which is fired from the room, after she says, that Chamberlain is on the photo, that it is the same woman, as helped him in previous episode (which he told as reminding him someone)? I just would like to know, coz nowhere are written actors' names... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.113.120.84 (talk) 11:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Quotes

Took out the quotes -- they don't appear on every other episode page, so it's inconsistent -- also sort of shabby for an encyclopedia. Triptych2 (talk) 21:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Split

Split the list of fellowship applicants into a new page. Link it to this one and to 97 Seconds.--Vreddy92 20:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. I don't think it is necessary. Cburnett 20:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Cburnett. So far we don't know hardly any of the applicants' names and would be pointless to know the ones who are leaving or have already left. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.45.66.201 (talk) 21:02, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the list is necessary, ergo I reverted your removal of the list. Cburnett 21:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I did, however, move it to List of House characters because it spans multiple episodes so no episode would really be the best. Cburnett 22:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Is the hyperoxia/exess oxygen correct. I just watched the episode and they put her in the oxygen chamber for carbon monoxide poisoning. They then warned her that the treatment could cause hyperoxia.--62.78.144.226 20:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Tesca?

Just noticed on the blackboard, when the chart is rolled up, 'Tesca was robbed' is revealed. Any idea what this is in reference to? I did find there was a TV show called 'Bug (Starship Troopers)', and 'Tesca Nemorosa' is one of the planets/moons where they are.Ucgirl (talk) 02:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, Tesla

Sorry, just watched it again, and it says 'Tesla was Robbed'. Still wonder what it refers to.Ucgirl (talk) 03:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#United_States . Tesla was offered $50,000 to redesign Edison's motor, and after working on it, never received the money. Similarly, House's team will get none of the $50,000 from the patient and most will be fired, even though they're working on the case. AboveDust (talk) 00:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

"Tesla Was Robbed!" I think this refers too Nikola Tesla. He's the forgotten father of the electronic age. He was working as Thomas Edisons assistant when Edison invented the light bulb and started developing the idea of an electric grid too supply all households with power. Edison came up with the DC circuit but it was full of bugs so he offered Tesla lots of money too fix them. Tesla did this and saved Edison, in todays money, millions. However Edison refused too keep his promise and pay up and Tesla quit.

Tesla then developed his own electrical grid idea using AC current, which is what we use today because it can be stepped up and sent over huge distances in thin wires. Edisons DC current couldn't be stepped up and required big thick wires and a large power station for every square mile.

Obviously Edisons system didn't really stand a chance, and he'd invested far too much money in it for it too fail, so the all round Mr. Nice Guy devoted a large proportion of the rest of his life purley to discrediting Tesla.

Edison would pay childeren 25cents for every stray dog they could bring him and he'd wire them up in an AC circuit and electrocute them at public gatherings and press conferences - claiming Teslas circuitry was deadly and his was not. Which of course it is. Other victims were cats, horses, donkeys and even a famous elephant. Edison even developed the electric chair using Teslas AC circuitry so as too further scare the public into buying his version.

So Tesla did not become the first billionaire as he probably should have done. Infact he destroyed his own contract so as too save the struggling company backing him. However we can credit all of these things too his name - Radio, X-Rays, Vacuum Tube Amp, florescent bulb, neon lights, speedometer, auto ignition systems and the basics behind radar, the electron microscope, and the microwave oven. He also still has the world record for the longest man made lightening bolt (130ft!!) and conducted an experiment in 1899 where he successfully lit 200 lamps from 25 miles away with out any wires.. (in 1899!!!!)

A few of these inventions have another name wrongly tagged onto them in the view of the general public but Tesla is who we really have to thank. In WWI when military were desperately searching for a way of detecting submarines, Tesla suggested the use of energy rays (Radar), however Edison had been put in charge of the operation and he rejected the idea. Condemning the world too another 25year wait before this ingenious invention.

In short Tesla was a hidden and downtrodden legend really. The area around his Lab was known for all sorts of eerie eccentricities like glowing grass and charged hydrants, sparks that would jump from the ground as you walked over it. His early experimentation with radar and sending frequencies through the earth not only accuratley noted the resonance of the Earth 60 years before science could prove it, but was also known too cause a small earthquake in the surrounding city. Many of his notes are being reviewed today and by 1902 he had designed one of the most efficient motors we know today, had talked of negatively charged particles we now know as 'Quarks' and were not discovered till 1977 and had started thinking of cryogenic liquids too create super conductors for electricity. Something that still today we know relativley little about. He was a true Eccentric Genius. And his reward for all this?

Eventually... The Edison Medal. Ironic?

How he held his tongue I will never know, but Tesla was indeed, and very definitely: Robbed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.176.158.42 (talk) 14:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

2001: A Space Oddysey

Is it worth mentioning that the intro, pre credits sequence is a blatant homage to the final scene of Kubrick's oddysey. The colour, the shots of eyes, exploding effects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.149.4 (talk) 03:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

- Yes, I just saw this and that's the first thing I'm thinking of. I suggest someone adds the info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.242.104.136 (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

---It may be relevant, and nobody will argue that it's wrong, but it isn't really a necessary part of the plot summary so there's no place for it on this page outside of a trivia section. I don't know enough about WP policy to be confident enough to add that in myself, and since it seems like it would be extraneous and out-of-place I would say it's something that doesn't really belong on the page. Instead, I'm adding an entry to the appropriate section on 2001: A Space Odyssey (film). NonaSuomi (talk) 06:32, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

The coloured eyeball and the landscape. In principle, the IMDb does a good job on such matters, so we don't need to duplicate them.
Does the House programme make a regular habit of visual referencing, or is this a special, and perhaps notable, exception?

Continuity Error

House is seen reattaching the bridge to his V midway through the episode. He was playing it at the end of the previous episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.0.50.76 (talk) 03:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

In the previous episode all that was seen was that the bridge was reattached long enough for him to attempt to re-tune it. From the looks of the limited view of it we have, it had first been reattached with scotch tape and gauze padding, hardly a permanent measure. It wouldn't be too hard to assume that the first re-attachment came undone and he had to try it again. NonaSuomi (talk) 06:46, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
