302 "Cane and Able"

[rubberbutton]

I thought this episode was an improvement over last week’s, thank god. More people were more in-character.

House: Was pretty much on. I was initially surprised he wasn’t furious with Wilson for lying to him, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. He understands that his best friend (and lover, sorry, couldn’t help myself) was doing it for his own good. He accepts that Wilson has to be Wilson in the same way that Wilson accepts that House has to be House. And apparently House is more ready to forgive and forget than most of the audience, who seem to have blacklisted poor Jimmy.

Wilson: He’s pretty much redeemed himself in my eyes. The Icarus line was downright heartbreaking. He may be misguided, but it’s his deep and abiding love for House that motivates him. It’s hard to stay mad at that. I do wish he’d been in more of the episode, though. But that’s going to be true pretty much all the time. Every scene should be a Wouse scene, IMHO.

Cuddy: The anti-Cameron snark? Priceless. Otherwise, she seemed more or less in form.

Cameron: The bit where she talked to Richard was almost cute. And she mostly managed to not be heinously annoying the rest of the ep.

Chase: I’ve done a complete 180 on Chase. I used to dislike him since he was a sycophantic backstabber. And now I like him because he’s a sycophantic backstabber. He’s the only really interesting duckling. The Yo Momma joke nearly killed me. It was beautiful in its grotesqueness. And his interaction with Clancy was adorable. He really is good with kids.

Foreman: Um. The gossip with Cameron was kind of cute, I suppose. I found it odd that he reminded House of his ‘failure’ in the very next scene. If he’s trying to undermine House’s confidence, I don’t think he’s doing it for House’s own good.

Yeah, I think it sounds pretty kickass. House need a archenemy. I thought Vogler was great. It's this running amok without opposition that's really stalling S3.

House need a archenemy.

*nods*

And that's how I think House and Wilson will finally make up -- the cop will go after not only House but also Wilson, in order to get information on House.

The two of them will discover that they need to come together to save each other, or they will both be lost.

Of course, I could be totally wrong. Heh!
