so - starting grade is
A-B for lack of Cameron and probably too much Foreman...
- yup - too much Foreman already - he's the goddamned Dean of Medicine, why the fuck is he working on the case?
- Wilson seems highly confused by the asexual woman... Wilson, get your head out of your ass, please?
- dear Chase - y u clashing ur tie and ur shirt?
- Foreman - you look like a toned-down pimp
- ummm - did House just offer to fuck Wilson?
- now they're having a discussion about the asexual patient, b/c House doesn't think people can be asexual... that's pretty standard for House - he doesn't believe in 'gray areas'
- wtf? Foreman has a giant iPad onna wall? why'd the office get 1000x's more tech'y once Cuddy left? the hell?
- and why the fuck is House including Foreman in the DDx's anyway? just to screw with him? yeah, that's totally House, but it's still stupid.
- O.M.G.... they are damn near playing out Cameron's dying husband with this patient. Are they fucking kidding me? No, seriously:
- patient more-or-less dying
- his wife is leaning on a close friend for help
- wife
almost having an affair with close friend while husband is dying
so, instead of actually showing Cameron's actual backstory, we'll just play it out with random patients... fail.
- and will the ppl on this show please learn how to 'drink' a full cup of hot coffee?
- i'm not sure i'm digging Chase's facial hair - what is that supposed to do?
- these 'morality' conversations are a lot less interesting w/o Cameron
- when did Chase get a sister?
- Wilson has a cold... he is so nasal; actually House sounds kinda nasal too
- the bet about the asexual couple is... kind of offensive, or really really childish... or something...
- i still want to know why Foreman is working on this case, b/c mostly, he's proving that he SUCKS as the DoM
- but - ha, House got Foreman to touch icky, wet gum
- ok - the asexual couple turned out to be not... big fail
- and Foreman is being an ass... what's next? Are they gonna fire House and let Foreman take over Diagnostics?
- at least the House-Wilson moment at the end was pretty normal
- Chase called his sister that we've never heard of before now? wha-?
Overall grade: C-
* the patient was boring
* too much Foreman - like, WAY too much
* not enough DDx'ing w/ the team (b/c of too much Foreman)
* not enough House - see above re: Foreman
* not enough clinic stuff
* stealing of Cameron's backstory to overlay onto the patient
* the asexual couple that wasn't... why couldn't they actually be? Aside from the fact that that wouldn't be interesting enough for House
Seriously, I thought the show was [H]ouse, MD, not [F]oreman's World... the fucking hell? Hey, writer peeps - Foreman is already over-developed as a character. You are NOT making him more interesting by shoving him in our faces. Really. Did you know that he was LESS 'token' back when he was just part of the cast and the team and not being put on a pedestal like some kind of hero? Seriously - the guy is NOT that interesting. It's why he's not the main character of the show. Please, please,
please go back to the more Sherlock Holmes style stuff from the earlier seasons... please! Find the show's roots and USE them!
Oh - and make Foreman put his hands in gum more, that's cool. :P
