House Season 5: Episode 4 – Birthmarks

House finally gets an interesting case, but his dad has died. With a patient laying on a hospital bed, and an interesting case for him to solve. House instead of solving the case, finds himself on a road trip to his fathers funeral. House vehemently tries to delay the inevitable, even going as far as trying to get Wilson arrested. Which he manages to do, by accident no less, but not for the crime he was thinking. With both Wilson and House arrested, we learn about the origin of the their friendship, and how throwing bottles, can sometimes help that friendship. House and Wilson discuss the patient and come up with the conclusion that she, shouldn’t be alive, do to the fact the Chinese government had an acted the one child law. But something hadn’t gone right when the parents attempted to get rid of her. But she survived until her mid-twenties, and now has problems, House wraps up the case when he comes back to New Jersey in quick fashion. And Wilson and House are friends again for the most part. I’d give this episode a 9 out of 10. Well acted by both Hugh Laurie, and Robert Sean Leonard. The only thing I didn’t like is the semi-foreshadowing of hiring his old crew back, I like the new cast better then the older one. But it might just be my imagination at this point.

House Season 5: Episode 3 – Adverse Effects

Two weeks late, and I’m sorry, but my work schedule tends to bounce around a lot, so I may miss a few episodes. With Wilson gone, House has turned to his PI guy to do dirty work for him, in other words get the goods on Cuddy. House doesn’t completely forgo his case this time, but again it isn’t a terribly interesting one. Involving drugs, paintings, and trust. House for his part uses his PI guy to screw with his team, and attempts to screw with Cuddy. The episode was interesting, but not great, or really good. House was house, and the rest of the cast played along during there scenes. Overall decent episode an 8 out of 10. But nothing seems to be developing so far in regards to the drama of the characters. Though I will say, ew in regards to what the patient had. House is still good at find gross problems with patients.
