Aw, Violette. I think you have to give them a lot of credit with the kind of risks they're taking with the show. I'm not disappointed at all with the shows so far, I miss my gimpy House... but as we've all kind of assumed I think the writers were just throwing an ethical dilemma at us. Is it really House's pain and his tragedy that make him who he is? Or would he still be that person if you took away the cane? How much of what makes House House has to do with his bum leg? I think they've done a great job with it, but I never thought they had any intentions of letting him off the hook like that.

The character is too strong as a cripple. They wouldn't do that. I think it was a smart move to try this and get his leg "temporarily" fixed. I like where it's all been going. I fucking HATE Cameron's bangs even more though. ERGH. NO one cuts their bangs straight across like that anymore. Who approved that decision? Girl's got bad taste, man.

However, the episodes so far have been a little rocky. I think they've been doing a bit too much. We've got all this stuff going on with Cuddy and Wilson getting so much more involved than they normally do on top of a new "healthy" House for the time being... and we had to deal with him getting back to work and awkwardly dealing with that first case. It was definitely strange, but I have lots of faith the season will pick up fast in the next couple of weeks. I'm still as hooked as ever... even if Hugh would choose smelly pirates. :P
