Last Temptation

Bad enough to listen to House and his stupid remarks on every episode. This season they added Amber Tamblyn as Martha Masters, the Miss Manners of Medicine. The endless preaching and back-stabbing by Masters was hard to watch. Fortunately, on streaming video I can fast forward every time she starts talking to anyone.

Masters is constantly giving un-professional guilt trips to her patients, and I know if I had a nasty busy-body doctor like her I would have filed a complaint and had her removed from my hospital care five seconds later.

Why did the writers add this very nasty character into the mix? I kept hoping the punchline would be that she found out she had terminal cancer. I cannot imagine that the character of Masters was popular, and I wonder why they did not cut her out of the show a lot sooner. Pushing through a season of Masters was tough sledding. Thank God she is gone.

I liked the girl, alright? I thought she was interesting and added something to the show.

I totally get why people might dislike her tho, i hate that they made her character so one dimensional. She could've been a genius or whatever and still have other aspects of her highlighted. Her dilemma in this episode was important for her character and i was soo excited to see an episode focused on her, but when she started doing the whole mnemonic thing right after she woke up i said god whyy??? Like she could've been a much more relatable character than she was but instead they made her this annoying know-it-all.

Anyways justice for my girlie, wish her the best.

This sappy, cringeworthy story about a med student is completely unnecessary. It's bad enough we've had to sit through something like 20 episode of a university/college student being a paid employee of supposedly one of the best doctors in the country simply because she's smart despite having no medial experience yet somehow can name any rare disease in the world quicker than her colleagues without having studied said diseases let alone read about them, but now we have to deal with a abominably poor representation of being a doctor in an episode dedicated to her?

This has to be an episode filler that replaced another episode because you can remove this episode from the series and the series doesn't miss a beat, kind of like how Taub was suddenly no longer there in an earlier series before being brought back because he 'tested' well with the audience.

I hate these sappy, sentimental types of episodes. They add nothing.

Masters departs. She is a stickler for the most mundane rules. Here she faces a situation where she is the last bastion. A girl who is a sailor has cancer in her arm. Because of her celebrity and drive, they choose to allow her to sail at the risk of her life. Masters does what she can to get them to change their minds and then does a House. She causes a heart condition to stop the girl and have her arm amputated, which will save her life. But her intense need to be by the book costs her dearly. She feels she cannot exist in the house world, even though she is more like him and the others as not.

The show is for entertainment. It isn't an instructional video about medical procedures.

Masters is annoying and I don't understand why she was written into the show.

The actress that play Masters has a goofy face and always looks like she is ready to cry. She is extremely naive and is a backstabbing tattletale.

I know the medical part of the show is silly but in this episode the intern Masters runs around the hospital doing whatever she wants. It's too much.

New employees, especially interns, don't tell surgeons how to do their jobs. They certainly don't excuse themselves to walk in on another doctor's surgery room to instruct everyone on how to perform the procedure.

Casting this girl on the show and writing this ridiculous storyline ruined the show. I'm glad it didn't last long.
