518: Here Kitty

"I have seen better. I mean the mystery was cat like to cuddy up for warmth? are we serious? I could see it if house was on methodone again but it just me... & He seems to be going soft it this last season, or at least to me? "

Actually, I kind of thought that in the early seasons, House was more interesting because he did have sort of a "soft" side he showed to some people such as women patients who flirted with him, etc. I think the show itself might be going "soft" in the sense it's running out of good ideas and ruining the good ones it has. I think it was heartbreaking and contrived that House ditched methadone THAT HELPED HIM WITH HIS PAIN when he could have gotten on a lower dose, ieven if that meant having good and bad days with his pain. I think the show makes an extra effort to show House being an a** in contrived, silly ways, like blowing his cigar smoke in the patient's face, and being routinely irritable about other folk's religious beliefs (which are really none of his business) like they are trying too hard to prove to us he's a jerk. I think he's become a caricature of himself, where in the first few seasons he was a complex person with a softer side and a mean streak and an evident obsessive side. I think they've slacked off some on showing his obsessiveness and never really showed us his supposed ego and arrogance: He seems just randomly mean at times, that's his big flaw. His pride in himself, if its supposed to be there, could be developed and displayed a whole lot more.
