Skin Deep

Real-life model Cameron Richardson plays a teen model who exhibits aggressive behavior and collapses on a runway during a fashion show. From there, it's all downhill in an episode that allows House to fully acknowledge his lecherous side. Surprise after surprise awaits the team, as the model goes from bad to worse both in body and mind. Richardson is extremely fetching as the sickly waif who may not be all she appears. For the astute viewer, the ultimate revelation will have been guessed halfway through. Still, a good show and no harm done. House's leg pains appear to be increasing, which will lead in coming episodes to a Holmesian solution, if you Sherlock Holmes fans out there get my drift. It is worth nothing this episode gets about as close to nudity as this series is ever likely to, and this gratifying display of flesh is put on by none other than Richardson, in a moment of angry confrontation with House.

There is an interesting twist at least it was back then. It's probably one that would never make it today . Gender identity is viewed differently now although in a way it's not the specific approach they would use now.

I am also not sure why men were so attracted to the patient of the week.

So many problems with this one. The "teenage supermodel" is said to be 15 yrs old. Well, guess what? She isn't all that attractive, certainly not "supermodel" territory. And, more obviously and crazily, the 15 year old looks like she is 25. 15? Seriously? Big GONG!

2nd GONG! Her dad looks maybe 10, maybe 12 yrs older than the supermodel. GONG! Horrific casting.

The story itself is just too convoluted and House does not act like House, which blah blah, leg pain.

On the positive side, I guess House's ex was not in this one. Yay! Some have far far too much time with House and his ex. Geez. That is the weakest on-going story-line in this show. I was skipping around Season 2 episodes. It seems like maybe 6 episodes earlier (in the airport) and in this they said House had "made her leave".

One of the episodes on the show that reminds you that they still didn't really consider women proper people 20 years ago. Also why is cameron the only one concerned about the nonce behaviour from both house and the dad. Not only are houses comments disgusting, they are brushed off as just goofy behaviour and not weird, and something that should be discipline (not that this fictional hospital seems to care much for ethics, they commit malpractice more than they actually cure patients). The whole episode was tedious and made my skin crawl. I hope the "only good nonce is a dead one" attitude begins to permeate whichever bubble they've got the writers locked in sooner rather than later.

The actress playing a 17 year old, was 27 when this episode aired.

Just makes it not believable at all.

Why does house not want to get his leg directed?

His do I get 421 more characters!
