House and SVU, Oct. 14

House: Birthmarks- (from tv.com) "While en route to his father's funeral, House must help the team with a differential diagnosis on a young Chinese girl who has collapsed under mysterious circumstances."

House and Wilson+road trip= classic episode. This made up for last week! The case-of-the-week was interesting, but took a back seat to the return of the House/Wilson friendship. I loved learning about how they met...and that the renewal of their friendship almost mirrored the beginning! Note to self- don't piss off Wilson in a room with large liquor bottles and antique mirrors or windows. :p Finally, Wilson returns to the hospital in his old position.

Best part of the episode: Cuddy pulling a House-like tactic by drugging him to get him in the car to go to the funeral!

Quite sad, of course, too. We already knew House had a poor relationship with his dad. Finding out that his dad wasn't his real dad was no surprise, though. "Mom hated him too!"

The case was a bit icky. How could that woman go through life not knowing she had several nails stuck in her head? Yikes...

SVU- Swing

From Yahoo!T.V.: "When Stabler gets a call to help catch a trespasser, he s shocked when the clues lead him to a suspect in his own family: his daughter Kathleen (Allison Siko). Things get so bad that he seeks help from his estranged mother (Ellen Burstyn)."

This one gets a big old roll eyes from me.

So Kathleen Stabler, brat extraordinaire, has bi-polar disorder. Give me a break. Couldn't the writers be more original, and say she's just an ordinary junkie, thief, liar, and slut? Oh, no, then they would miss an opportunity to delve into Stabler's childhood and his mommy issues. Never mind that the kid has always been trouble, and almost always gets away with things.

I hated this episode. Not even the great Ellen Burstyn (as Grandma Stabler) could save it.

Get rid of that awful ADA. She is a nasty character and the actress SUCKS.

I'm about ready to abandon the show forever. Next week looks even worse...

AND WHERE WAS MUNCH????
