There were several good blog-reviews of this week's House, many of which praised Lee Tergesen's performance, but tobyfanpointed me toward the absolute best:
Here's the key excerpt from Give Me My Remote:
Lee Tergesen is a fixture on high quality dramas, most notably Oz, HBO’s unrelenting prison drama. As Tobias Beecher, a man stripped of his family and professional dignity by circumstance, Tergesen was the show’s emotional core. Surrounded by monsters and miscreants, Tobias remained the inmate who the audience rooted for to be freed.
As billionaire Roy Randall, Tergesen was once again surrounded by sharks. Instead of state-issued linens, Randall’s enemies were adorned in upscale suits and alligator shoes. I am rarely moved by the patients’ personal stories on House, but Tergesen’s performance roped me in. Many people claim that they would give up everything for their family. How many of them would truly throw away thirty billion dollars to prove it? While we are asking questions, is it asking too much to see Lee Tergesen in a starring role again? Please?
Yes! Please!

And, while I'm posting, here are a couple of pictures from a post-Emmy party I just found on the MPTV site. I'm too wiped out to try to wipe off the watermark, so I will leave that up to other talented photoshoppers!
