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?

devo: V is EVIL. esp the way he's messing with the students' heads. but CHASE???
Barb: He is. But it gives an overall story arc. Cuddy is just too human to be the antagonist
devo: what a little whore he turned out to be.
devo: i thought House was his own enemy. *s*
Barb: yes. And Cuddy realized she really did make a deal with a devil from the ninth level, when she was only counting on the second or third.
devo: yes.
Barb: Yes, but this gives it a sense of epic quest.
