House -- "Games" -- 11/27/2007
Synopsis:
Spoiler:
Is this entire season going to be spent choosing the new staff? At least we seem to be coming to the end of it as there are only four left... |
I actually like Cutthroat Bitch and hope House chooses her in the final 3 over the plastic surgeon.

I was hoping for Bitch and 13. Now I'm only half happy.
I loved the seizure-inducing record, though. Almost sounded like vintage Merzbow. I found it somewhat amusing that he played it on his ultra-expensive Sota deck, but played the soft acoustic guitar record (was that a 7" 33RPM?) on a cheap library portable player. Either his priorities are better than I thought, or he really damaged his (Koetsu?) cartridge when he scratched it across the record when he was angry at Wilson. Some people come for the medicine, I'm all about the audiophilia. |
Glad to see 13 is still around.

Can someone explain the very end to me, with house and cutty, and how she said he planned this all along. Damn neighbor came over and I missed that whole last conversation...

I wish he could have fired Foreman instead of CTB. Foreman has never been a good character, and now he's even worse.

So House got pretty much everything he wanted for a new team, even though it means Cuddy has to foot the bill for the extra doctor on the House team.
Anyway, good episode and I was shocked at first when House fired 13. I wanted her and Kutner to stay... don't really care for Taub at all. The preview for January seemed interesting... aren't there only a few more episodes that have been shot? |

Yeah, and remember Cuddy and House's conversation about how he wanted to keep all 4 and the joke about how he wanted 3 1/2 people on his team as a compromise.

You get the idea that running for House is beneath him, impressing House isn't of interest to him, but he can't act on his own because he's still under House's thumb. So what's his point?

I'm guessing that Foreman, Chase, Cam will finally leave the show at the end of this "season" (writer's strike, notwithstanding). The cast is getting a little too large, even with the new team finally established.
|
Yeah - the old cast is like scabs now - They served their purpose in helping the audience get healed during the restructuring, but now that there is new skin - I just can't wait for them to fall off.
|
I am glad that Olivia Wilde made the cast because she deserves a weekly show, plus she's easy on the eyes.
|
I don't find Kumar to be very exciting, nor the plastic surgeon. But I am also glad that CTB is gone. Also agree that Foreman is more of a pain in the ass, worthless character now. Glad 13 is there, though.

See, Foreman has always been my favorite of his staff. I like that fact that he's not intimidated by House and secretly wants to be just like House. I liked how Cameron commented on him not wearing a lab coat just like House.
Chase is a dullard and the only thing Cameron has going for her is that she's hot. |
I liked the subtle context last night that House actually does care what happens to his patients which ultimately makes him completely different than CTB.

How dare you compare my girlfriend Jenny to a scab!! |
Terrible episode. They couldn't sedate the patient for an MRA but it was ok to put him into general anaesthesia and do open heart surgery? Ridiculous. Also there was no reason for the brain biopsy either, what is the treatment for measles that is more dangerous than cutting into someone's brain?? The Wilson side story was laughable as well.
It's simply not believable that he wouldn't have fired that Kuttner goofball weeks ago, never mind that there is absolutely no way he would have wanted to hire him. The guy is a dolt and has contributed nothing worthwhile. This episode was down there with the first episode of season 4 for me, which was also awful. Good thing there were some good moments otherwise this season. |

Heheh. The medicine isn't usually this bad though, although the one where they gave the guy the lobotomy was probably worse.
