I thought it was a great, emotionally-charged episode, almost a stand-alone movie. Much of it was vintage Dr. House with his one-liners and desire to judge everyone to compensate for his own deficiencies, but then House went to a-whole-nother level. The show had the typical humor you come to expect, but that escalated to heights of intensity, inspiration, beautiful sadness, and a warm resolution.
I truly believe this is one of the most inspirational shows I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. It makes me want to get therapy. lol.
Yesterday 149 had voted and everyone gave it 10 stars. Today I've heard some minuscule rants that make no sense to me. I don't know why people who are not fans of the show would take the time to bash a great premiere and drop the rating below what it should be... a perfect 10.
Any true fan of House should have loved this episode. All my friends who watch House loved it themselves... we talked more about this episode than any episode I can ever remember shootin' the Crapper about.
The comedy was fresh, the acting pretty superb, and I liked some familiar faces (from other shows) in this one.
They took a page out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but have a cute, caring, appreciative nurse instead of Nurse Ratchet, and they sprinkled in some other really good performances. Andre Braugher did a spectacular job, and "booger" from Revenge of the Nerds was in it.
Overall, it was a great opening to a new season and I'm looking forward to see what happens next. Any writer will tell you that's what makes a story tick... having your audience captivated and curious about what's going to happen next.
If the subsequent episodes are as fascinating as this premiere, this could be the best season of House yet.
Definitely 10 of 10 stars.
