Well that wasn't too shabby.....

I was niether bowled over nor was I bitterly disappointed by 'Known Unknowns'.

I haven't the vocabulary to make a long and well-rounded argument about the good parts and bad parts of the episode, so here is a pathetic list.

Good Stuff

- House/Wilson as always entertaining and moving in equal parts.
- House doing a nice thing and Wilson thanking him for it. More of that please.
- Chase/Cameron worked for me in this episode. Their storyline was strong this week
- Stoned Wilson and pantless Wilson worked and will always work for me.
- The guy dressed as Lloyd Dobler at the 80s party. That was a winning costume. Shame the scene itself induced much eye-rolling
- Grape Soda. I <3 grape soda
- Nice to be reminded that Cuddy in fact HAS a child
- Simpsons reference and inclusion of Metallica!!!! FTW!

Bad Stuff

- House/Cuddy. *rolls eyes*
- The random harbour shots/scenes.... um?!?! Why the harbour?
- The scene when Lucas/Wilson/Cuddy/House all sat round the table. That was just weird and just didn't work for me.
- Uninteresting patient plotline. This is a shame becasue I always liked the patient plots to intermingle with the character plots. It's something that has been lacking recently and this episode did nothing to change that.
- Cuddy characterization seemed a little off in this episode to me.
- Bad acting courtesy of patient.

So on the whole some parts were great. I mean the entire House/Wilson arc was great to watch, even Chase/Cameron/Foreman held their own. Unfortunately my enjoyment, and thus the awesomeness of the episode,  was overshadowed by the constant Huddy love mess BEING RAMMED IN MY FACE!!

Huddy = DO NOT WANT!

I agree with your likes and dislikes. I was shocked at the fact that House sat at that table and took listening to Lucas spew out his breakdown in detail. WTF House do something. Even Wilson gave Cuddy a look that said shut your stupid boyfriend up. Loved H/W but the ep sank from there. Oh well, we can still look forward to 10 and 11 though I'm sure those will have Huddy shoved in our face as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

Yeah the whole cafe table scene was just a bit jarring I felt. It wasn't a bad epiosde by any stretch... but it just felt lacking in something.
