House, MD had it's premiere last night (9/16). It returns to its old night and an old time (some may remember that House occupied this same slot either last season or the season previous) with Dying Changes Everything.
In the episode, House (Hugh Laurie) takes on a case featuring a businesswoman who starts hallucinating. However, Foreman (Omar Eppes) and the other fellows (Peter Jacobsen, Olivia Wilde and Kal Penn) are left to solve it. House is having issues with Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), who has just returned after Amber's death and announced he will be leaving Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) tries to convince House to apologize for causing Amber's death and to tell Wilson what his friendship means to him. House decides to use emotional blackmail instead, telling Wilson he (House) won't cure the patient until Wilson agrees to stay. In the end, House cures the patient and Wilson leaves.
This episode proved why House is one of TV's best shows. The writing was particularly crisp, particularly between the fellows as they tried to find out what was wrong with their patient. The episode also kept the viewers on the edge of their seat: what exactly was wrong with the patient and will Wilson stay? It also provided some great development for Wilde's character--though her name has yet to be revealed--and how she is handling the revelation she has Huntington's last season. The best part of an episode is always listening to Wilson and House banter with each other. The writing is usually top notch and both Leonard and Laurie makes it sound like its coming from two people with history rather than actors merely reciting lines. Their chemistry is one of the best aspects of the show. Now that Wilson has ended his relationship with House, it's interesting to see how this continues or if the show suffers for it.
Great episode all around: A
