Skin Deep

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".

This is a one of a kind episode. First of all, it features a teenage supermodel. House is at his lowest as he lusts for her. He has no filter at all and his drooling is ridiculous. Put aside the male portrayal and focus on this model and we get into some really interesting territory. The conclusion aside, which I won't ruin, the father's abuse and all that is enough to have the cops crashing the doors. I realize there are protections for good reason, but this guy continues to sit at the daughter's bedside after what is revealed about him. Then we have her explanation.

I won't comment on the secondary plot of the guy who has a sympathetic pregnancy. That is also ludicrous.

I mean I love house but this show wouldn't have survived in 2021. There was no way for this many problematical comments to be just ignored.

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!

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.
