(Season 5, Episode 13 – “Big Baby”)
Tonight’s episode was almost typical House, but something was just a bit off throughout every storyline. It was as if a writer who never worked on House before wrote this episode solo, because although it was still pretty good, it just didn’t click.
For instance, House is usually so quotable that I am pausing my DVR every few minutes to type in the good quotes. Just last week, I did an entire post full of the House quotes alone. This week, I still laughed out loud, but there just weren’t as many stand-alone quotes as there usually are.
And then, I usually understand everything in the episodes, but I was a little confused as to the House-Cameron dynamics this week. Was Cameron saying she wanted House? Was there more to it at the end when Cameron was talking with Cuddy and she said she’d always say yes to House? She blamed it on the fact that he trained her, but are we going there again? And what was that whole oral sex exchange about?
Sure, House was up to his usual obnoxious behavior when he was heckling Foreman and Thirteen about their relationship, and when he needled Cuddy about not loving the baby. And some of the other characters were on their game too:
A really entertaining episode which I highly enjoyed, yet something was just a little … off.

Your thoughts?
I am sick 13. There are several characters on the show and the writers seem to not give a damn about them, just 13.
If 13 doesn’t die by the end of the season, I will be very disappointed.
My mom said the same thing about Chase!! She saw him on screen and she said, ” Wow, he’s starting to look really rough!”
i feel the same way about the writers making us think the patient is going to be someone else in the opening, very much like Six Feet Under.
has anybody gone back and watched any old Black Adder to see Hugh Laurie in his start. great stuff.
