blairprovenceMy new addiction to Torchwood has affected my obsessive re-viewing of House this season, but I think it might mean my knee-jerk reviews are more honest somehow. Even if I can't now quote the show verbatim.
PLUSES
Another interesting parallel running plot.
Foreman vs. new ducklings was interesting (even if Foreman vs. Cameron was not.)
The CIA jokes were funny.
MINUSES
I'm all for House Doctors being better than your run-of-the-mill doctors - it's sort of the premise of the show. But the previous season made sure to show that what was exceptionable about House was his skill at observation, his encyclopedic knowledge, and his ability to think outside the box. This season it seems more like that he's right because the plot calls for it (fill in details later.) He's not earning it.
Did not like CIA doctor. Don't want her joining the team. She brings out obnoxiousNOTentertaining House, and is clearly an idiot if she quit her job for an off-the-cuff sexual harrassing remark.
Deux ex machina Doctor Without Borders. Couldn't this get him thrown out of the medical profession? How will that help the Third World exactly?
Was not feeling the Hugh Laurie love as strongly tonight. Maybe I like him in his usual environment, with Wilson and Cuddy. Or maybe he was just too offensive and not funny enough.
I've been patient. Where the hell is Chase?
