House, MD: "Control"
Okay, really short commentary here, it's late.
Look, yet another former "24" cast member. Hi, Not-Nina! (Excuse me, Carly. Are we named for a certain former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, by any chance?)
*snicker* Cameron trying to be manipulative is just damned cute. Especially since she's mostly succeeding with Chase and Foreman by confusing the hell out of them by using first names.
"Read less, more TV." Ha.
You know, I was hoping Edward Vogler wouldn't be a total ass, that he'd be an antagonist who we'd have to reluctantly admit had a point. But when he started talking about running the hospital "like a business..." What business would that be, Ed? Enron?
Knee surgery = total inability to talk? Can we say medical malpractice suit?
Cuddy's conversation with House was interesting - I think we're going to have to wait and see how far Vogler takes the "using patients as guinea pigs" notion.
Holy... Forget the seizures, that banshee shriek of pain was more effective than any amount of seizing and twitching. Damn.
"Are you mocking me?"
"Duh... Allison." *giggle* Really, Cameron should have quit as soon as House outed her.
Absurdity is right up House's alley.
The second House said "billionaire who wants to get laid," I was peeking at the background for Vogler to appear within earshot. Thank goodness he didn't.
So the mute guy did settle after all. Hm.
"He's not saying boo." Well, yeah, House is doing that quite enough this episode.
Okay, House, hope you didn't stick that guy with the wrong syringe.
*facepalm* Oh, Chase, Chase, Chase... I have no words. I'm torn between wanting to pet him and smack him upside the head, but the latter is winning.
Foreman always seems to be the one present for crisis moments this episode, it seems.
Psychological symptoms? Okay, I'm sorry, but this CANNOT be all in her head.
Scratches? Cuts? Where is he looking? It's not her arm, but it's still not a good sign.
"Are you sleeping with House?" Ladies and gentlemen, Vogler has officially crossed the line to complete and total bastard. I could almost see where he was coming from until he went THERE.
House: Wear the coat when the Fuhrer is around. Deal. Vogler: It's a FREAKING LAB COAT. Remove head from ass.
Just when I thought I already had enough reasons to never become bulimic...
"Our friendship is an ethical responsibility." Best. Line. Ever. Because it's so true.
I can hear the House/Cameron shippers crying. Cameron, stop pouting - he doesn't admit to liking anyone, really. Stop it with the validation begging already. Writers, stop giving her a backbone and then tearing her spine out in the next scene.
Well, duh, he's going to lie. That much is obvious. But that meaningful pause, the look at Wilson, at Vogler, then at Cuddy before he opened his mouth? Now THAT was blatantly obvious. Greg, I'm disappointed in you.
Of course, I suspect Vogler the control freak is part of the reason he's pushing for this.
Now the REAL cliffhanger: What's Chase going to do with the evidence? I have the feeling this whole mess has weakened that unwavering faith in House we've seen in him before. Scaring him into being careful may not be a wise move on House's part.
*dies laughing* And here is the reason for my current music. God, House doing air piano to the Who... such an absurd and fun moment.
I SO want Vogler to be afflicted with something no one can diagnose and have it be up to House to figure it out. Something preferably painful and life-threatening. Accusing Cuddy of sleeping with House (a relationship possibility which, IMO, is looking less likely), was bad enough, but practically blackmailing House with Cuddy and Wilson's jobs? Why not just write "ASSHOLE" on his forehead with a Sharpie while you're at it?
(Look, I can get that he's annoyed with House's air-piano antics and his flaunting of authority. But threatening him with other people's jobs makes him complete scum in my book.)
So that's what Chase did with the evidence. A compromise, I suppose.. no way Vogler can prove that House knew.
*sees the iPod* *does dance of Mac superiority* I knew he had taste.
Next week: More of the Towering Asshat, and the Mob leans on House too. I could take it more seriously if it wasn't Danny Nucci threatening him.

no subject
Werewolf-Delinquent Foreman and Watch-Out-For-Daddy-Issues Chase. We really need more development for Cameron beyond Don't-Hate-Me-Because-I'm-Beautiful.Also, "That wasn't as dramatic as I thought it was going to be" is totally the best line of the evening.
