After the Swan Song introspective, we open on House waking up on a floor in the dark in a warehouse somewhere. He seems confused and there’s someone next to him. House feels the guy’s pulse but Kutner tells him not to bother, the guy’s dead. House says that Kutner’s dead too and Kutner helpfully points out that the fire’s not dead.

House wants to why he’s hallucinating Kutner but Kutner wants to know who the dead guy is. They go through the facts of the case. House was working on him in the clinic, found something interesting, blah blah blah. House is in a good mood but no one can understand why what with House’s parole officer breathing down his neck and Wilson dying of cancer.

“Six Seasons and a Movie” Art Show Interprets “Community”

artwork by: megan lara

The PixelDrip Gallery is proud to announce the Six Seasons and a Movie art show hosted at Monk Space in Los Angeles on June 23-24. The event will be a weekend celebration of all things “Community” as interpreted through the vision of over 130 artists from around the world. Much like how “Community” isn’t just a sitcom, the Six Seasons and a Movie art show isn’t just an art exhibit. It is an event organized by fans meant to serve as a physical focal point for the show’s fans to gather.

“We continue to be astonished and humbled by the artists that have agreed to participate in the art show. Any of these individuals is talented enough to have their own solo exhibit. Having the opportunity to gather their artwork under the same roof is a dream come true and one we would like to share with as many people as possible. We are also honored to have artists that have worked on ‘Community,’ such as Rob Schrab, Megan Ganz, Jim Mahfood, and Myke Chilian. The cast and crew’s close relationship with the fans is one that separates ‘Community’ from many television shows. This is our heartfelt tribute to both ‘Community’ and its fanbase” says Mark Batalla, curator and manager of PixelDrip.

ICE ROAD TRUCKERS returns Sunday June 3, 9pm ET/PT. This summer, IRT pushes farther north than ever before, new roads, new ice, and a whole new set of treacherous challenges. This season, the drivers will face three roads, the most ever encountered on IRT. The weather is the massive protagonist, as the Dalton faces the worst storms in recent times, while the guys in Manitoba are racing against ice literally melting under their wheels.

IRT vets Hugh Rowland, Alex Deborgorski and Rick Yemm are back, with Hugh and Rick handling the deadly roads of Manitoba Canada. The Manitoba Winter Roads are 1,400 miles of twisting ice roads through some of the most remote and unforgiving terrain on the planet. The roads are marked by axle-crushing frost heaves, heart stopping ice crossings and frozen swampland. But this year, unseasonably warm weather is melting the snow and ice, making for very intensely precarious conditions.
