Belated response to the latest episode:

Ok, this show is really starting to annoy me this episode wasn’t bad, it was actually pretty good, the 2 patient of the week and their mysteries were good, and it had some good lines but the writers have pretty much ruined Cuddy and Cameron for me and are they are on their way to ruining Chase.

Lets begin with Cuddy: Is she House boss or his bitch? Right now I’d say bitch. Sure she took a lot of crap from him in seasons 1 and 2 but she retained some degree of power over him, now it is obviously that she has no control other house what so ever (also keep in mind that it has repeatedly made clear, including in this very ep., that house needs an people to second guess him it is part his “unique” DDx process.) and if the episode before last is to be believed she doesn’t let him get away with this because he saves lives or even guilt at cutting of his leg no it because they apparently slept together. The last episode did have Cuddy standing up to House but for all the wrong reasons she was being emotional, irrational and un-objective, Cuddy made the wrong call, she got lucky, and if she saw a hundred of the same case she would have made the wrong call again and gain and a 100 people would have died. Isn’t this the situation she was trying to prevent by lying to house in the first episode of the season? So now Cuddy is a hypocrite? And she was completely ineffectual during the Triter arch, where were the team of lawyers the frequently gathered in Cuddy’s office in season 1? Especially after she not only went after House but also completely shut down the practice of another department was pretty much making life a living hell for three more of her best doctors; was make every other doctor overly concerned with covering their ass hence disrupting the function of the entire hospital, especially when he for no good reason hijacked a room in your hospital and started walking around intimidating all your doctors like he owned the place and was apparently illegal shuffling through hospital files and although you full admit that House brought all that on himself and that House make everything around him worse you still willing to let better doctors sacrifice themselves for him (yes house is NOT the best doctor in that hospital being a good doctor is more then dxing zebras, House is at the end of the day I highly profitable one trick pony) and prejudge your self for him? And after all that way to prove to him that he owes you in fact why not bring that up to him right now when he said you owed him. Which brings us back to the present Cuddy a hospital administrator with a medical degree and who is supposed to control House is now also apparent easily susceptible to influence and prone to hysteria, and not mild hysteria major hysteria and when it over Cuddy who is supposed to be a rock on which the function of entire teaching hospital of some fame is supposed to rest on then brushs it off as if that was as natural as getting a cold; not to mention this little story could make it way to the media, a bunch of panicky people on an airplane with an unknown infection a heroic doctor post 9/11 with the ability to spin it in to a story about the importance of scuba diving safety I’d say at least one magazine would want to report on this and she is apparently not concerned about those all important benefactors reading about the hysteria prone hospital administrator. Way to care about your hospital image Cuddy. Boy she sure seems like a great hospital administrator doesn’t she?

I was going to write some thing about Cam’s character assassination but my hand is getting tried. But I will say this my problems with this seasons have shifted from un believable plot lines (miracle!leg, son of a coma guy)) to their treatment of the characters like the above about Cuddy. That these two elements have not hit their respective lows at the same time is probably the only thing keeping me watching, but the fact that a lot of people seem to like both of these thing has me fearing that they are going to combine the worst of the worst into a single episode. Shudders at how that might look like: “House’s leg mysterious gets better while have sex with Cuddy on top her desk meanwhile Foreman get a cold, Cameron gets jungle fever and they also have sex on Cuddy’s desk with Chase watching?” At this point wouldn’t surprise me.

So is anyone pleased with the direction this show is going.
