eucleiaI'm not entirely sure about my feelings towards this episode. I have personal opinions though, which may or may not be wrong, but... *shrug*.
The first and probably most controversial opinion I am going to throw out here are my suspicions that many of the House writers themselves seem to be biased towards one of the two major House pairings at the moment (i.e. House/Wilson and House/Cuddy). Everyone has personal opinions, and thus I may be completely wrong and merely reading into things which are not there (God knows writers have it hard, and it's not an easy job - what with all the tense deadlines...), but my problem arises when the episodes see-saw wildly from one extreme to the other in an effort to push a certain agenda (or pairing as it may be).
Again, everything I say here are my perceived pet peeves and personal opinion only; far from scientific fact. My probably majorly biased (I suspect it may be - I'm not certain it is though) and I-am-going-to-be-bricked view is that putting pairs in competition with each other to an extent on a show is fine. It makes for some excitement and interest on the audience's part, but I dislike it intensely when House/Cuddy is pushed via Wilson, since he is the other half of the House/Wilson pairing.
I view it as similar a rival holding up my hard-drive full of astrophysical research and using my results to "prove" something from their own research it was entirely unintended for, and something which I was attempting to disprove at that. In such a scenario I would be frustrated at the situation because I couldn't speak out against my own data, but would be resigned to tiresomely eek out logical reasoning to third-party viewers as to how that data wouldn't fit their research (something which I shouldn't have had to bother with in the first place), and also relegated to having to point the finger at the wielder of my data for doing so.
I wouldn't mind say... 13 telling House to wise up and get it together with Wilson already (to make up for both Wilson AND Taub pushing Huddy (even if the latter was doing so in jest)), but yeah... at least 13 is a neutral party when considering the pairings, having already taken up with Foreman.
I was not surprised to see House returning to his manipulative ways.
Might add more later, but I can't think of more to say on this episode yet.

Date: 2010-01-26 03:28 pm (UTC)The Huddy thing to me is an example. It was there from the beginning in the banter and such, but... then suddenly Cuddy is *Pining* alternating with House *Pining*. What?? That doesn't seem right.
Another example- 14. Where in the world did that come from??
Also- Wilson/Amber was like that in my opinion- it was building nicely and then *BOOM*- the accident, the "OMG she is *The* love of my life"- to me that sort of came out of the blue.
And also going back a little- Chase and his angst, and Wilson and his depression. There was SO much build up with Chase and his relationship with his father and his mother's alcoholism and then *POOF* as soon as Daddy dies everything is resolved?? Wilson's depression was totally forgotten and seems to only be brought back when the writers "need" an angsty House/Wilson episode. I understand that every episode doesn't have to and shouldn't focus on the same things- but having Some continuity with main plot devices seems good to me.
As I said I still *Love* the show and continue to watch it- there are definately glimpses of Brilliance. There is just a little part of me that wishes that shows that I Love could all just stay out of the limelight. Have enough viewers to keep them on- but not enough where it affects the writing. Not sure if that made sense or not.
