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?

Chase made the most sense. And he was so obnoxious this week about the weight issue that being a 'whore' just worked for me. Just another shade of soullessness. Granted, they've been throwing a lot of characterization around in a very small amount of space, but eh, I like going along for the ride.

As for Vogler, what a lovely piece of work, in all the best, perverse evil ways. Reminds me of Machiavelli.
