Epic Fail

Is it just me or this episode was too much of Eric Foreman. I watch House to see Dr. Greg House not Eric Foreman!! Foreman struggles to solve the case and House struggles to keep himself busy. With so much little of House being shown in the episode it gets kind of boring in the middle. But if you are a Omar Epps's fan, you will enjoy it. But I was thinking, "am I watching Dr.House or Dr.Foreman!??" But, this is House, you never know what is going to happen. Except too much of Foreman, the episode is actually good and have some unexpected turn of events. House is changed, he is actually bonding with other people.

All in all, good episode.

I've never liked Foreman and this episode (and a few others from season 5 especially) really reiterated that. Foreman is selfish and I can't understand why 13 stays with him. I would have dumped him on the spot after what he did.

Foreman is a self centered opportunist. He is talented but slipshod. When House says he is not returning, Foreman jumps at the chance to be the head of the department. In comes a guy who designs sophisticated video games. He has had an incident after the testing of one of those games--his hands seem on fire. But he is not your normal patient. He has not trust in Taub or Foreman. Foreman tries to be House and simply goes around making demands. The guy goes rogue and starts using the internet to circumvent the choices of the team (which is now only Foreman and Thirteen).

House takes up cooking to distract him from his pain and unhappiness. But at some point he realizes there is something wrong.
