First of all, I love House, and i feel that with the past few episodes of Season 5, and with this new opener to Season 6, the writers have really taken a good show to greatness. For a little while, I felt as though the show was getting to be a little too "formula." It seemed as though every episode consisted of a strange case, a subplot involving the personal lives of one of the members of House's "team," then House would go talk to Wilson, get that look in his eye, and then quickly run to the OR to stop the surgery. But maybe that's just me.
I am proud to say this is no longer the case.
"Broken" was incredible. It brings the viewer to so many different levels of emotion in so many different ways, through superb acting, exceptional writing, and beautiful direction. One thing I couldn't help but notice was the episodes connection to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Upon thinking about it, House was almost like McMurphy. He played the "enabler," the patient that helped the other ward members more than any of the hospital staff ever could. Then we have the paranoid guy (Cheswick), the girl with the big glasses (Martini), "Freedom Man" (Billy Bibbitt), the mute women (Chief), and the insecure guy (Harding).
The only wild card in House's roommate, the "rapper." His role was completely original, and once again, brilliant.
See it. Make it happen. Do it... Do it...
