"Perfect"

House treats a patient who is on an expedition in the South Pole, and ends up liking her.

I thought this was a fantastic episode and easily one of the best this Season. The acting from the woman in the South pole was brilliant, and she had such a good connection with House. We learnt a lot about House in this episode, and it was strange seeing him care so much about a patient.

I loved how it was just him and Foreman diagnosing for the most part, and also the insight we get about Wilson and House's relationship.

Meanwhile, House demands cable and sends out his new team to torment Cameron until he gets it- another game from House. I admit, at first I was wondering why he sent his new team away, but I understood when he confirmed that he wanted to make them stand up to him. It was a good test, and it caused the diagnosis as Kutner finally came into his own and made a great diagnosis.

Meanwhile, on another aside, Wilson has a new girlfriend, and at the end we learn it is none other than Amber a.k.a Cutthroat **** It will be interesting to see where that goes, despite personally not wanting to see her around any more.

Overall, a brillantly written and dynamic episode- one to remember.moreless

There has probably been no patient in House's history, were he went through all the stages of diagnosing together with his patient. But due to the fact that she is trapped at the South Pole and is also very interesting, he makes an exception. Not only does he oversee every procedure, he does actually care about her. Like Wilson said: She is the perfect girlfriend. Far away enough, so that he doesn't have to be in an actual relationship. But for us, it shows that House is also a human and not just an ass. He is not really vulnerable, but you can see that he has feelings for this woman and that she cares about him, too. In a way. She knows how he lives, how he feels and that creates a bond between them. And that's nice for House. For once he doesn't just want to solve the puzzle; he wants to save the patient.
At the same time he tries to find out, who Wilson is dating, because there is not a chance in the world that he would just let this thing be when Wilson asks him to. And his curiosity gets rewarded. And the look on his face, when he finds out is just priceless!moreless

House is usually a pretty funny show, but this episode made me laugh harder than most straight-up comedies do. It's more Housey than usual, which is never bad, and it's split between House and Wilson trying to telediagnose a woman at the South Pole and House terrorizing Cameron. But it's even funnier than that sounds. Wilson had a great line about falling down a flight of stairs drunk. My head nearly exploded when he suddenly ran away from House midsentence. House slyly saying he likes to watch House is very cute.

If you love House the character, but don't care about the medicine or drama, this is the best episode ever.moreless

This plot was absolutely amazing, especially fits together. I love how the patient's storyline is. A patient in the South Pole. Who would of thunk it? I also like how you see House's brighter side as he starts to care for Cate, a lot. Even gets to see her naked. Amber returning renewing her role as Wilson's girlfriend, that was a very shocking ending. That must of sucked for the patient and her friend to go through all of that, The moment House found out it was in her feet, that was also shocking. A very shocking adventurous episode I would say.moreless

I loved this episode you almost feel bad for House when the the other guy gets the girl. The scene where he's helping Kate find a lymph node to biopsy via internet camera, was hysterical. Only House would have the nerve to play "Let's get it on". one of my all time favorite scenes!!! The reactions of the other characters to House becoming obviously smitten are fun to watch. Wilson's teasing ans Forman's incredulous looks set the scene spectacularly. The scene where's he (House) is trying to comfort Kate by explaining to her exactly what the other guy has done to help her is poignant.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- The propellers on the wind turbines are all rotating clockwise. The one that falls off and strikes the ground is rotating counter-clockwise just before it hits the ground. The initial shot follows the blades as they fall far enough to show that they did not flip over. The clockwise rotation would most likely have thrown debris away from Sean. Edit
- Cate and Sean are supposedly at the South Pole, and yet when they are outside where the temperature is low enough to freeze Sean's blood, you can't see their breath. Edit
- We frequently see House using an Apple MacBook Pro, which has a built-in iSight camera above the LCD monitor embedded in the bezel. However, we never see the green LED next to the lens that is only visible while the camera is in use. Edit
