As I was weighing my options tonight on what tv show to review, I was watching Terra Nova and what do I hear? House is back. I had completely forgotten that House went to prison for driving his car through Dr. Cuddy's house and tonight was the season opener. My heart was all aflutter.
The eighth season opens with House in prison, and in a sticky situation. It's four days from his parole and he is in to the Neo Nazi's for a fat sack of Vicodin. Even a badass like Gregory House can't say no to White Supremacy. His only two remaining strings to medicine are the massive amounts of pills he owes and a prisoner who is struggling to be diagnosed.
He earns the trust of a young prison doctor who he helps diagnose this mystery patient until she finds out why he's in prison. Things get worse when the leader of the nazi party pressures him with one day left to get the pills. Things don't look good for everyone's favorite disgruntled doc. I'll let you watch the episode to find out what happens.
The interesting thing about this season opener is that the only character from House that is in it.. is House. Every other character seems to be a one to two episode stint. But there is some inclination that the prison doctor may join his team post prison term. Even in prison House, regardless if he wants to, can still make a difference in people's lives. In one scene he explains why he wants to leave medicine after prison, but after helping this prisoner he realizes how important his gift is.
I am very much looking forward to this season of House and so should you.
