<p>Well, they have a crappy episode here and there, and then they’ll change it up. The great thing about House is that you never know what to expect. It seems the writers would just have House and Cuddy get together, have House do something totally unexcuseable and get the soap opera over already. They are drawing out this scenario far too long.</p>
<p>I could care less about Cuddy’s clothes, I’m merely jealous that she always looks so great.</p>
<p>People actually enjoy Foreman and 13? I’m shocked–they are the most cited “stumbling block” referenced with regards to the show! (that, and the team breaking up).</p>
<p>I loved the premiere, liked last weeks ep, and haven’t seen this weeks yet (was seeing clients this evening)… though from what I’ve heard, they’re getting awfully close to just pairing up House and Wilson, which really won’t be that shocking to me.</p>
<p>I liked Cuddy until the horrible (imo) “Huddy” arc last season.</p>
<p>If nothing else, Hughie Laurie is always very nice to look at… :)</p>
<p>For House fans - there is a medical review site where doctors, medical students, pharmacy students, and others talk over each House episode. The reviews are mostly about how the medical puzzle is deciphered, but the reviewers also critique the soap opera :-). I think it’s part of a blog so I can’t post the address, but you can easily find it if you search for “house medical reviews”.</p>
<p>I’m a House fan too, and also feel that the series has taken on soap opera feel this season. I really dislike Cuddy’s new love interest. He’s not an interesting character at all.</p>
<p>Lucas was interesting when he was a private detective / alter ego for House. He isn’t showing that side now. </p>
<p>I thought the Wilson episode was the only good one since the 2 hour start. They moved the characters along. The shot of House laughing with Wilson in recovery made me realize that it’s easier to show House laughing than to write dialogue that would allow him to laugh in that character. It was like they were showing us that they only show us part of House and part of Wilson.</p>
<p>well I am a little behind cause I watch House through my laptop.
I actually like Lucas, probably cause I like lower temp characters and I have seen Michael Weston in other things that I enjoyed. I also thought that storyline was believable.</p>
<p>I love Robert Sean Leonard, I think the show should show more of his backstory in explaining why he and House are such " good" friends. I have seen him in other things & I don’t think they give him enough to do- he is quite a good actor.</p>
<p>I also like Foreman and 13- I think their characters have chemistry, but I also think their characters would struggle more with dismissing their relationship in order to work.</p>
<p>Cameron/Chase I could care less about- not very interesting to me.
I think Cameron would have split a long time ago.</p>
<p>I like quirky shows- I really liked Cop Rock, for instance and am waiting for the staff at Princeton-Plainsboro to do a holiday variety show as a fundraiser and for Stephen Fry to show up.
;)</p>
<p>Last night’s episode was great. The best line in years was House telling Wilson not to have surgery because if he died House would be all alone. That was whoa moment #1. Whoa moment #2 (sadly there have been very few such moments this season) was them laughing at the end. Yes, Wilson is a doormat for everyone especially House so it’s a bonus when he stands up for himself. </p>
<p>The Cuddy love interest is getting old but not as uninteresting as trying to trump the tightness of her clothes in each episode. It adds nothing. Leave a little to the imagination already! </p>
<p>Lucas was a good Wilson substitute there for a while but it’s now time for him to go away. The Cuddy thing doesn’t work.</p>
<p>Chase is ok on his own. Cameron was ok on her own. Together not so good.</p>
<p>Foreman is a bore. 13 is more of a bore because all she does is stare, stare, stare.</p>
<p>Taub was brought back to replace Kutner (who unfortunately went over to the dark side). His character needs to be expanded as he’s fun to watch. </p>
<p>Sela Ward helped fill out House’s character and show us where he came from. He was always a jerk but a lovable jerk. Now days, not so lovable. </p>
<p>I never liked Amber until she came back from the dead. Again, more conscience conflict. </p>
<p>Yes, enough with the soap opera and bring back the diagnosis slant.</p>
<p>*“House could become a nun, or an arms-dealer, or a transvestite, I don’t really mind as long as it’s done well. It’s the ‘how’ not the ‘what’. Just an ending that satisfies is all. That does justice.”</p>
<p>One thing you won’t find him doing is logging on to Twitter, like pal and self-professed Twitter-witter Fry.</p>
<p>Hugh said: "My Twitter time was an experiment. It didn’t quite work for me. I am not Tweeting I have strong feelings about Twitter, which I will keep to myself but I’m not a fan. No, I’m not.</p>
<p>“Stephen is on it every day.” Fry has appeared on rival American TV series Bones and Hugh is hoping to recruit his services in the City of Angels.</p>
<p>Hugh said: “I see him a lot and I hope he’ll be coming over to LA soon. I really hope he guest stars on House.”*</p>
<p>Now if they could STOP having the docs in the lab performing all kinds of cool clinical testing…
THAT’s what us Medical Laboratory Scientist folks do!</p>
<p>I agree about House’s character, but I did find myself shaking my head in disbelief about other parts of the episode. I mean how realistic was 13’s involvement in the PTOW? And what was with her totally inappropriate advice to the husband? That was pretty much not believable.</p>
<p>Professionally inappopriate, probably. But 13’s character is one of cutting through to essentials; she hates seeing someone BS’d. So I could see her doing it.</p>
<p>I do agree that them doing all the tests is bit ridiculous, but it’s always been that way.</p>
