How can you go wrong with a guest appearance by none other than James Earl Jones? 
Dammit, I got the episode number wrong. :facepalm:

There might be naked Foreman again. That would strongly counteract or even corrupt the awesomeness.
Wilson- Yes Garlic, shoes... I am Vampire Sookie.
James Earl Jones is awesome.
I was curious on House's treatment of the amputee, did a quick search and found this:
Mirrors to cure phantom pain.
Mirrors to cure phantom pain.
^ That was one of the highlights of the episode.
WOW. Okay this episode had by far the most compelling weekly case and associated moral dilemma. Stellar stuff.
Nitpick - is this a massive reset button to the old team with a very weak explanation? I hope there's more to it than that.

Gave it an Excellent. Far more drama than last week, and some nice moral grayness thrown in.
I giving it an excellent, but just barely (if I had another option between the extreems and the step-downs, a "Very Good" -if you will-) I didn't like what they did to Chase as he's a character I've always liked.
The POTW of the stuff was OK but it doesn't get my interest with House uninvolved, Forman just isn't that fascinating a doctor like House is which is why I liked his pseudo-"clinic patient" of the week story line more than the primary one.
The primary one was only tollerable due to the awesome of JEJ.

Grayness? It's black and white. Hypocrates's oath is clear: do not harm. Chase clearly broke this oath. Don't get me wrong, it does great tv but there shouldn't be any moral dilema from a doctor's standpoint, anyway.
(For those interested, the relevant portion beings about 9'30" in, it's an interesting video, however.)
He has a point, from the stand point of both options did harm.
If he lived, harm to thousands, perhaps millions of people.
If he dies, harm to him.
The question then becomes triage. Which option results in the least amount of harm.
Yeah but that's the I, Robot interpretation of a higher logic. It doesn't work like that, especially in a case like this where a number of events could have happened to prevent the genocides.
I went with excellent, because it really was. For the first time in the show, the 14 relationship, was boring, I normally like them, but they were both being so childish and stupid, it just wasn't interesting.
The guest star was brilliant though and added a wonderful tone to the episode, very intense. Both Cameron & Chase's reaction to the patient over the course of the episode were good, but maybe Chase was a little out of character. I think the storyline could be interesting, but their way of leading in to it, could have been better.
Hugh though, shone in this, his interactions with the neighbour was brilliant, and the whole mime sequence had me in fits of laughter.
Next week looks great too, House takes a step forward to taking over the team again, an expansion of Chase, and what could be a mildly interesting guest star.

A doctor's oath to "do no harm" only applies to his patient not to extend that oath to people or things the patient might do once out of your care.
Besides, it's not like they make you sign it.
