House M.D.: The Dig (2011)
Wonderfully played by Hugh Laurie and Olivia Wilde
Thank God - for bringing back Thirteen & hence giving us a meaningful episode in the so far mediocre 7th season. I'm happy that we're completely distracted from House's juvenile antics at the hospital (hopefully to never return or at least in much smaller doses) and get reintroduced to my personal favorite supporting character. It does a lot for the synergy of the cast to have a truly interesting female character on the show - since Martha has been nothing but an annoyance and Cuddy ditching House out of nowhere (even though he's been trying hard in my opinion).
The reason for her absence was shocking and touching. I was glad to see House actually connect with someone else (especially after the recent breakup with Cuddy). Even though he's an emotional klutz he had one of his best moments in the whole whopping series when he said "I'll kill you - when the time comes...".
I won't get my hopes up too high for a quick recovery of House but at the very least I expect the beginning of the healing process now. Two wounded people helping each other back on their feet was an excellent formula for this episode - hats off.
House M.D.: Fall from Grace (2011)
An ironic title
With Cuddy dumping House pretty much out of nowhere the writers can finally let go again and enjoy his brutally juvenile side - and boy they do. What's happening for most of the episode is House annoying the crap out of everyone to unseen ends (including the viewers I might assume, at least I couldn't stand watching it). Cuddy is looking the other way, Wilson appears for fruitless rants, and the rest of the team apparently doesn't care. Imagine a plot centered on a 10 year old going berserk with no one restraining him. When did that ever become interesting?
I could hardly believe everyone showed up to his fake wedding putting a good face on things - the correct behavior would have been to not appear at all I'd assume. I guess the writers didn't think they could keep the show interesting with Cuddy and House establishing a lasting relationship, but so far I found him struggling to become a better partner more interesting than the regression to an extreme version of his former self. I really don't like where this is going.
I couldn't really care about the medical case either, the conclusion however in the last seconds was unexpected.
In my opinion season 7 has been the weakest so far. They returned to the standard formula, the personal stuff (apart from House & Cuddy) has been kept to a minimum and the temporary replacement for Thirteen in form of Martha Masters is simply unbearable. I understand that having need for a temporary character on the team means they'd have to create one the viewers wouldn't get too attached to, but a nerdy version of Cameron is something I didn't expect I'd have to put up with for a whole season.
