House 3.23 -- "The Jerk"

[Stacy Warner]

Just as I say the POTW lacks any personality, we get thrown with this ass. I dunno about yall, but this kid just sort of irritated me. It was just one insult after the others, and when Chase said "Shut up!", it was like he was saying it for me, too. I suppose that was the point, but it was...ehh. Kinda not good. Though I have to say, when I used to compete in chess (yes, I was in the chess club), there were asses like that who would taunt you when they had they game all wrapped up.

I did like the whole "Who screwed Foreman's interview? You screwed Foreman's interview! Who me? Yes you! Couldn't be! Then who?" deal of the show (the song was in my head the entire time), even though we all knew it had to be House. No one else would really do something like that--not even Cuddy would stoop that low. It's a little frustrating that Foreman's still leaving, even though we know he's going to stay (Epps has signed on for a fourth season), and I just sort of wish this storyline was over with so we can get on to something a little more interesting. But that's just me.

Very little C/C. Again, yay. "See you next Tuesday." That's still pretty funny to me.

Someone mentioned in the TWoP forums that Cuddy's professional attire seems to be non-existent. Remember when she wore blazers, and...well, she always wore skirts, didn't she? Anyway, that skirt she walked up to Wilson on was probably the more unprofessional I've seen her in. Ahh well, Lisa Edelstein is smokin', she can pull it off [:

Anyway, yeah. That's all I have to say.

[Robert Chase]

I actually loved the patient of the week this week. Yes, he was an annoying little ass that we were supposed to hate but I'm pretty sure that was the point. I mean, he was REALLY GOOD at being an ass. Especially in the chess game with House. I actually really liked that House lost, it makes sense. This kid is supposed to be a chess genius so it wouldn't make sense if he lost easily and it shows that House is still a realistic character and not some sort of super man. So I loved the PotW just BECAUSE he was horrible. That kid was a good actor. I thought he had strong personality. And who -doesn't- play chess? I was in the club and all too. It was good times.

I thought the bit with Foreman and his interview was interesting. Who accused who. I loved House talking to Cuddy and then when Cuddy told Foreman she did and then was like "No! Wait! I didn't really...' and all. That was a good scene. Also Wilson trying to fool Cameron and failing was funny though could she possibly make it any MORE obvious that she's still in love with House? Her denial of it has just gotten kind of annoying. It's almost as if she's like 'if he's going to reject me I'll just pretend I don't like him so I don't lose face but I really do!' or something.

And I thought it was out of line for Cameron to attack Chase about it. The only times when he was selfish and a bastard to sabotage things were when it was GOOD for him. This does absolutely no good for him. And furthermore, Foreman basically told him that he hates him last week so WHY would he want him to stay? I actually get to feeling kind of sorry for him again. Especially since he brings up the Tuesday thing again and then she's like "I KNOW" in that 'I'm-pissed-off-you-like-me' voice of hers. Honestly, I'm surprised he still likes her for how she treats him. Things don't look too good for him one person downright said he doesn't like him and even hates him and the other thinks the worst of him and attacks him...hah, maybe I'm just sympathetic to him but...yeah, that sucks. Oh well, at least he still had that nice scene at the end with House and is smart. ^^

House dresses far more unprofessionally than Cuddy does and no one cares. Besides Cuddy is Cuddy...that's what she's always worn and who CARES if she looks GOOD in it? Isn't that part of the point? This is TV after all, for god sake. She's gorgeous, of course they're going to flaunt it. Hah.

[Allison Cameron]

Ahhh I think Cameron really doesn't like House anymore. She sounded truly annoyed when she lamented the fact that no one believes her when she says that. But I'm also totally biased. Maybe she has just gotten control of her feelings for him, but I don't think there's been anything hinting that she does still like him. She probably still has a soft spot for him, but she has one for most people.

I was rather annoyed by how mean she was to Chase, though. Maybe she's trying to be nasty like that to cool his feelings down though, because seriously, when is she ever cruel like that? Okay don't answer that. I'm biased, I know. It just seems uncharacteristic of her to think something like that of anyone. Especially cause they seemed like they were at least friends from the episodes a few weeks back.

But really! The commitment-phobe shouldn't be so mean to him.

I think it's funny how everyone is psycho-analyzing each other outloud in these episodes lately. Chase started it, and now all the others are doing it to. Or most of the others. It used to only be House who made insightful comments like that.

Yeah. That's all I have to say. Except that I want more Chase and Cameron! -Waves flag around-

Oh, and I thought the patient was truly obnoxious, but also hilarious. Especially when he was hitting on Cameron and Chase got all protective. And for the record, Cameron mentioned hemochromatosis in the beginning. -Waves a Cameron banner furtively- They used that diagnosis in the first season. But it still made me happy.

And I'm annoyed that people keep yelling at House to get out.
And that's really all I have to say. ^^
