House MD: "Games"

It was a pretty good episode. It didn't air here in the Netherlands yet, but with many thanks to a friend in the States I got to see it, anyway. 

In this episode, House is forced by Cuddy to decide which two doctors will form his new diagnostic medicine team. Ofcourse, House plans a lot more "games" to decide who'll be the lucky bastard. Wilson misdiagnoses a patient, and by telling him the right diagnosis, screws up his life. 

The game House plays exists of a drug-addicted rockstar, who's body can only have one test at the time, therefore, the trophy which allows you to run a test is: a fake eyeball (which gets demolished by Kutner later on). The Bitch gets fired and has a brief section of developement with the patient. The most emotional piece of this episode. 

All with all: the writers over at Fox have done a good job on this one. The tension build of both the main storylines "game" & "the patient" goes up steadily, and the humoristic line of Wilson misdiagnosing a patient gives it the thing what made me *Love* House MD in the first place: the humor. 

Not so much character development happens, though Cuddy and House have their same old arguments, and the Bitch tries to pull all kinds of nasty and bitchy tricks (and gets fired because of that, DUHH) 

And as usual, the cinematography and the original score were just fine. 

I'd give it a solid 4 and a half out of 5.
