Is House finally going crazy? Or is the show just replacing one loss with a deeper look into House himself. The show predictably has two running story lines, but unlike in previous seasons. House really is taking front and center over the patient. Which is both good and bad. Good in that it’s interesting to see inside of House’s head. Bad in that part of the mystery of House is gone and so is the subtle character hints that would be brought up during any number of episodes. This episode is interesting because House’s imagination is in overdrive due to Cutner’s death, and well House is throwing a bachelor party for Chase. The episode is full of conflict but little resolution, leaving me wondering if there really is much left to House M.D. it’s self. I’m still a fan but the luster of the show is dying ever so slowly. As for the episode it’s self, Cutthroat Bitch is an interesting edition, but an unnecessary one, and the whole episode just sort of move along with little regard to the patient. And despite having serious reservations about the episode I can’t help but like it. I don’t know why but it was interesting enough to keep me entertained, though mostly because I found the patient fascinating. I’d give this episode a solid 8 out of 10, can’t really tell you why other then something about it managed to hold my interesting for just long enough.

House losing his Mojo? Cameron wants back on the team? After losing a team member House takes on a case of an environmental activist, but only because Cameron  insists he take the case. Cameron is doing her usual of avoiding what’s plaguing her. Dr. Wilson is up to something, and the patient keeps getting sicker with all the signs of cancer but it isn’t cancer. Oh and the patients marriage is crap, because he cares to little about his wife and child. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad husband, he certainly tries to be a good husband. Which of course is what causes him to get sick in the first place. Overall it’s an interesting episode, again not the most memorable episode except for the ending, which was freaky and will certainly lead to interesting things. I’d give the episode a 7 out of 10, it’s a good solid character driven episode. Just wish the case was a little bit more interesting.

House is out to prove that coincidences do happen, and that a cat can’t predict who is going to die. All because a patient says shes going to die because a cat slept next to her. Taub who believes she’s just a fake, goes off on a little adventure of his own with an old high school buddy. House starts terrorizing his team because Taub is threatening to leave, and Kutner is as superstitious as the patient. The case it’s self isn’t as interesting as the cat that the case revolves around, and Wilson’s obsession with House’s obsession over the cat. It’s an interesting episode, not the greatest but interesting enough to make you want to watch to see what happens. I’d give it an 8 out 10.

House is acting different, acting as if he isn’t in pain and nice. Neither of which are him, setting Wilson and Cuddy on his tail. Wondering if he’s doing heroin. House is acting so nice that he’s even dealing with patients and doing what they ask. They only problem is that House is taking drugs, legally but the down side in taking methadone which if he falls asleep, he may not wake up. Concerened Cuddy tells him to either stop or to leave the hospital. House deciedes to leave. Forcing Cuddy to accept that it might be what’s best for him, and forcing her to give him his job back but with stipulations. House takes his job back, and quickly wraps up the case. Realizing that becuase he wasn’t himself he created a case because of a needless procedure. An Intereitng episode overall I’d give it an 8 out 10.

House goes about being house in the new episode of House M.D. Running around trying to bend people to his will. Religion a Nemesis of House, pops up in two different facets of Houses life. In his patient whom is a priest and Cuddy getting her baby blessed in a Jewish ceremony. House also goes after 13 and Foreman relationship. House doesn’t want anyone to be happy. His case involves a drunk priest who thinks he saw Jesus, unfortunately the case is only slightly interesting, and the episode overall is good and solid but pretty average. I’d give it a 6 out of 10. There are much better episodes of house out there and this one should be pretty quickly forgotten, unless of course you happened to love/like the episode.
