Carrot or Stick

The case is one of the more interesting ones this season.

I don't know why they think Rachel is so gifted but some cute scenes with House .

Chase has the more interesting subplot. I wish more was centered on his life especially since his divorce.

It's almost irrelevant talking abut plots etc no with House as they are all recycled or re-purposed from other shows by now - this one no more or less than any other. what is obvious is that, due to the violation of to of the golden rules of weekly drama (i.e never break the sexual tension and introducing a child = death), the show is no circling the drain in an increasingly tight vortex and needed to be put out of its misery. Ne character Masters is pointless and obvious a quick geek girl grab for the fanwank demographic, Laurie is shambling around doing his best House impersonation but even he can't remember what his motivation is and Taub is possibly the least interesting character ever on any TV show. And yet there's another season and a half to come? I have a sick curiosity to see how they pulled it off, but I suspect they don't and they just stagger on regardless.

This episode is like any pedestrian drama. The connection between the two men is just too much. The motivations of the drill sergeant guy are almost soap opera-like.

The other two subplots are more interesting. Chase's efforts to find the person who took the nude picture of him are sort of depressing. But then his careless behavior and entitlement sexually are pretty sickening. I'm amazed at how personally some of the reviewers take things personally when they don't like an episode. Let's face it. There is no House. There is no Chase. And there is no sociopath woman. Relax.

Finally, House's horning in on Cuddy's little girl's possibilities for a preschool are funny but really over the top.
