minor House rant -- spoiler for this week's ep

[devohoneybee]

Why can't they get their Mendelian genetics right? House surmises the female patient has children by men other than her husband because she and husband have brown eyes and some of the children have blue or green eyes. Except this can happen, if both parents each have a parent with blue or green eyes and they have a recessive for that. What they SHOULD have done is have the mom and dad have blue eyes and have children with brown eyes -- definitely a sign of hanky panky. I mean, this is high school biology, isn't it?

And otherwise in the ep... jeez, louise, sinister, much? Why am I worried the plotline of the show has been hijacked by a more operatic kind of melodrama than I thought they were going for? *furrowing brow* What did people think of the big reveal in this ep?

I think V has made a huge fucking mistake, is what.

See, House may not have the "schooze" gene, but the fact that he doesn't give a shit what others think of him means that he's not going to react the way V thinks he will.

I also see it being VERY in character for House to go over his contract with a fine tooth'd comb, the bylaws, and any applicable state labor laws. If there's a legal way to do an end run around V, House will find it.

I hope you're right. It's getting so... Shakespearian or operatic. See Barb's comment, below, about epicness. I don't want the storyline to fall over from too much weight. I like the deftness and lightness of a lot of it so far. Very, very interesting!
