Goofs

The pen House uses in the plane was supposed to be permanent, but after changes in camera angles and scenes, the penmanship changes, especially the size of the letter P, which suggests that the writing was erased and rewritten.

User Reviews

There have been better episodes this season!

This was a good episode but I think this season, particularly with the development of House and Cameron's relationship, has been the best! I didn't enjoy the detective episodes too much but this season has been great and I can't wait to see where this is all leading! ::crosses my fingers for House and Cameron:: He deserves love! ;-) He's just playing hard to get! This episode was interesting but I missed him and his team together! Hugh Laurie is a comic genius with his timing and facial expressions; a wonderful actor! I found the writing was well done. I enjoyed when he attempted to make his team out of random people on the plane. Well done all together but it was just missing that personal/emotional development that it seemed to be gaining this season!
