Dr. House gets the chair!
One that rolls around, of course. After last week's philosophical side trip, we get an episode straight out of the classic House style.
Did we have a teaser where someone dramatically fell ill? Check.
Did said person keep nearly dying because House and his team misdiagnosed him for the first 50 or so minutes of the episode? Check.
Did House care about resolving some petty personal grievance far more than curing said person? Check.
Did he ultimately get what he wanted? Check.
Did he do something inappropriate in the operating room? Check.
Was there a break-in? Check.
Was there bleeding "down there"? Check.
Of House's team, Dr. Foreman got to step up for some special emphasis in this episode. I really liked it when he parried the Gypsies' complaint about experimentation with a reminder of Tuskegee.
I also really liked how the break-in went horribly, horribly wrong. Their previous break-ins had generally been pretty smooth, so it was about time.
At first, I had hopes that the new doctor was going to be a recurring foil for House -- crip vs. crip. But I have a feeling that, seeing as how her purpose was to take part in the parking space storyline, and that storyline has been resolved, she is going to vanish forever.
I have to admit that the episode title, "Needle In A Haystack," was a winner. It shoved the ultimate solution in our faces without us even knowing it.
