swatkatAnd then I watched House 5.13.
* Okay, WHAT? What was up with that phonecall during the surgery? Are the writers on some special crack that they thought it made any kind of sense? It was unprofessional, it was stupid and wrong and just plain bizarre. Why would Cuddy do that, knowing that there's a patient with her skull cracked open? Why would Kutner allow that call in the first place? Why would House, or Cameron, or anyone else in the OR entertain it for more than a second? Just… WHAT?
I understand that they used the baby's crying to prove House's point, but seriously, WHAT, show? FAIL.
* Apart from the Phonecall of Doom, I quite liked the medical plot in this episode. The look that the POTW shared with House in the end, especially, was very poignant, knowing that she will never regain her patience, her skill with these children whom she has grown to love. I wonder if she will now question her love for the children itself.
* I am also annoyed that they went all the way to set up an interesting plot with Cuddy not bonding with the kid—which is pretty realistic—and then undermined it with an insta-bond! moment. When I have time to sit down and breathe, I will write lengthy thoughts on the show and motherhood and how they've only barely managed to avoid the binary of work vs. home but not quite escaped the television trap of 'all is solved in *one* perfect moment' (although the last scene with Cuddy running to work and Rachel crying in the background was well done). Pacing has always been a problem with this show, and you'd think TPTB would've learnt better after five seasons.
* Foreman! No! You did not just do that!
* I particularly loved that Cuddy confessed to Wilson that she was happy at work and felt guilty for not wanting to stay more at home.
* Cameron! ♥ There is much to be said CCF and how they've grown. Someday.
* But now Cuddy has to do the thankless job of being House's babysitter again.
* How awesome was the Cameron/Cuddy scene in the end? Cameron, you've grown so much!
* Now we have canonical proof that Wilson should not be trusted with any secret ever. He's such a gossip. Of course he'd go running to House with Cuddy's secret. He doesn't know Cuddy the way House does, and he worries enough about her to blab her secret to House. ♥
* Is Jesse Spenser taking revenge on David Shore for not giving him screentime? Because he is in desperate need of a shave and a haircut.
Don't spoil me for the new episode. I haven't seen it yet.

Date: 2009-02-03 07:04 am (UTC)This was turning out to be a good episode, you know? They were dealing with it pretty well, with Cuddy admitting that she wanted to be at work, that she was happy at work and a little guilty that because she's a new mother and she's *expected* to be happy at home but she's not (and House being very cruelly honest in the background). Wilson was being supportive without being her life coach, and it was interesting. And then came the Phonecall of Doom. I just... WHAT? What were they even thinking? In which planet does it make *any sense*?
