House 4x06
OMG CIA! LOL!
This was extremely awesome. Yay for nutso plots, and in contrary to what I've read all over LJ - that it's completely improbable for the CIA to single out House - I don't think it's improbable. People come from Cuba to get treated by House. If the CIA had a medical case they couldn't solve, House is certainly not the last person they'd think of.
Where do I know the CIA chick from? IMDB won't tell me! ETA: Ha! I noes! Emergency Room! ;)
Right, the CIA chick.
Pro's: OMG thank you TPTB for giving us a female duckling that is neither Cammy s1 nor Cammy s3. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure now that CTB will have to go, which is a shame. Die, 13, die.
Con's: O hai thar, love interest. This is getting SO OLD! Even though all the Gay Jokes in this episode made me less convinced that TPTB are really that uncool about House being gay. The joke about the life partner, and the way he was OH SO QUICK to make ABSOLUTELY sure that everyone around him thought he found CIA!chick SO HOT - the man doth protest too much, in a way.
What's so special about Polio? I mean, sure, there's a vaccine, and most sensible people do even use it, but there are always stupid people who fail to get proper information and don't vaccinate their kids. (I know they said she was vaccinated, but as Grumpy said, vaccines can wear off.) Polio is rare, yes, but rare enough for a Diagnostic's department that once diagnosed the Black Plague to simply dismiss it? Think again.
Oh, yeah, Grumpy. Well, I'm pretty indifferent about him going. I liked what he did. It was cool. I think House thought so, too, that's why he didn't fire him. He did what it took. House respects that. But Grumpy's not one for the eye-candy, and he's not exactly a thrilling character. So, better him than guy-who-electrocuted-himself-last-episode.
Ahahaha Wilson. Paranoid much? What was it in your past that you didn't want the CIA to find out, eh?
Cuddy was being weird this episode. Maybe she finally is pregnant. Or maybe it was just PMS.
ER-Cammy: "I miss people doing what it takes to get the job done."
AHAHAHA SHE OBVIOUSLY NEVER WATCHED EMERGENCY ROOM!
All in all - that episode gave me hope! Now all we need is a little more House/Wilson. And a little more Wilson. What did RSL do, did he spill David Shore's coffee? Give the man more than 15 seconds of screen time per episode! Give the character more of a purpose than simply existing to be a conversational partner for House and make more or less (mostly less) funny statements about House and pills.
