House’s worst day

Most of us have been taught that some change is good.

Apparently the writers of “House” were out sick during that lecture, because the lack of growth in the show’s characters finally grew grating during season five.

Wilson is angry at House for indirectly killing his girlfriend and being a pain in the ass – for about two episodes.

House and Cuddy kiss and both contemplate a relationship – for about two episodes.
House takes methadone to improve his pain and his mood – for less than one episode.
Sadly, due to poor plotting in other areas, like the Foreman-Thirteen pairing and a character’s death, the lack of change sticks out like a sore thumb.

The special features here are solid, including a look at the program’s 100th effort, but season five has to be the show’s weakest effort.

With House in the insane asylum leading into season six, let’s hope something changes – for more than three episodes.
