Ok, I've been down on House for the last few episodes, but I thought this one was really good. House called Wilson on being a giant wet turd and there was plenty of flirty banter with the girls.
I know people complain about House being a procedural and therefore, kind of predictable, but I like the show best when it sticks to its tried and true format: funny clinic patients; the ducklings (Cameron, Chase, Foreman) breaking into patients' houses; Cuddy and House in a power struggle; etc. It just works for me and lately, I've felt like the formula was off.
Actually, come to think of it, it's not so much that they were messing with the formula as they were the tone. There was something rushed and ponderous about the tone of the last few episodes. It was a little pretentious, I thought. I like it when they have a good balance of humor and drama. This episode seemed to strike the right balance.
Anyway, what did you guys think?
