Quotes

Dr. Gregory House: [House talks his story to Colleen and Zach] She recently got the thin envelope from her first choice preschool. But it turns out, it was her fake first choice because she was convinced she couldn't get her kid into her actual first choice without a substantial donation or an inside connection.

Children saying adult things

This epi was fun, but weak. In house many of the characters sound the same, they say things in unrealistic ways.

What's worse is that the same is true with children, you have (annoying) children spouting smart-ass lines. The effect is creepy, it's as if you're watching kids being possessed by the spirits of wise-ass 50 year old psycho-babblers.

The house/cuddy chemistry is still zero, as it has been for all of this season.

I still like House MD, and that's 99% because of Laurie.

Looking forward to a formulaic epi. They're always the most fun. The nonlinear epi's like this one come over as false and self-conscious.

And please, Americans, stop portraying children as little adults. It's just freakish.
