    Too Much Financial Stuff

    I have to admit ignorance in the whole financial thing that House pulls off. I know he ultimately got his way with the comatose patient (after he finally figured out what was wrong with him). But there is a great deal of unhappiness in this one, many victims.

    The young woman who slugged her mentor ends up a sobbing mess at her hearing. That aside, she is such a tiresome character (which I've said before). Are we stuck with her for the whole final season?

    Once again, Foreman comes across as a ninny and the "team" has nothing going for it. Below average at best. I hope there is some sprucing up soon.

    New interns are boring

    These new interns are awful. Then Foremen as the director, please that would never happen at a real hospital. He has no experience of running a hospital and he just likes make Houses life miserable.
