I love "House MD"--it is one of my top 5 favorite TV shows of all time. That being said, I hated this episode. There wasn't much medicine, there wasn't much House-being-House, and there wasn't much chemistry between anyone on this entire episode. The worst part is that this episode would have been frightfully weak in the middle of a season, but it is even more inexcusable as a season premiere. For this I waited 5 months?!? House is in prison after the hijinks in the last season finale. Thankfully they fast-forwarded to his parole rather than forcing us to endure a half-season of Prison House like they did with Mental Hospital House. His parole is granted and he is out in five more days. House then risks his parole to save a drug dealer (just for the sake of the puzzle), and risks his life with the skinhead kingpin for a dumber reason: to solve the drug dealer puzzle.
This episode seems like it was written by manatees. It even would have been better if they had used Cracked.com's "Every Episode of 'House' Ever" tutorial. If you have ever watched the earlier episodes, you will be disappointed in the writing of this one.
