House Giveth and House Taketh Away

In episode 2, House's selfless actions meant Wilson's patient got an organ donation she needed, and she lived. In episode 3, House's selfish actions meant Wilson's patient didn't get an organ donation, and she died. I didn't think we'd get so direct a negation of House's good acts of the last episode. Huh.

I wonder if Wilson ever found out that it was because of House that his patient didn't get the kidney.

On the funny side, my favorite line of the night was Park, to Adams: "What do you want me to do with these? Give them away? Wear them while you masturbate?" LOLOLOL, I didn't expect that out of Park but I'm damn glad she said it. She's awesome.

I like Adams fairly well, but she was being an asshole to Park. You don't force things on people who don't want them.

David Shore said the show's writers don't have a show bible, but I suspect they have a show "parking lot" where they put ideas for subplots they come up with for different characters but didn't use. I also suspect this is why they created Taub to be a married cheater -- so he could take on Wilson ideas they didn't get to before his divorce -- and why they made Adams a trust fund baby -- to give her some Chase rich-kid-slumming themes.

It seems obvious to me that hiring Olivia Wilde was a quid pro quo marketing deal (we put you on TV weekly, you mention us while doing magazine covers and movie premieres) but overall Thirteen wasn't awful. I liked how she went off the show.

Hooray for Thirteen riding off into the sunset with a woman. Hooray for Thirteen kissing her girlfriend in the hospital as warmly and casually as an opposite-sex couple would kiss and embrace.

Really? That's the first I've ever heard of it supposedly not being a pleasant set; every person I ever read (like, not cast but basically 'little guys' who'd worked there) said it was a good place to be. And there was never any of the kind of stuff you'd hear about off the set of, say, Grey's. Which show I never even watch, and yet I had heard repeatedly of the problems.

Am I just sheltered or something?
