Skin Deep

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.

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!

Easily the dumbest and most disturbing episode I've seen so far. I'm surprised to see the show dip so early on.

There should be at least some minimum level of medical believability to make it to air. Here there is none -though it attempts to pander to goofy fringe agendas apparently.

If House can't pull itself out of the gutter and attempt to create reasonable and realistic crises the show, we're going have to plug on it. People with the slightest medical backgrounds are groaning over this type of trash.

It takes so very little these days to make it on a scripted show. TV is becoming a mindless format if this episode is any indication.

I believe that the only reason this episode has such a high rating is because of the "plot twist" at the end. However, regardless of the typical sudden realization of what is ailing the patient at the end of the episode, the language used against the FIFTEEN YEAR OLD patient is absolutely vile and hinders any positive thoughts I have about this episode.

House is at his most unbearable and disgusting as he, Foreman, and Chase all sexually objectify their FIFTEEN YEAR OLD PATIENT all because she is "beautiful". The episode's one saving grace is, of course, the only woman in the department as she stands up for the patient but is continually shut down by her male coworkers! I feel bad for Sarah Hess as she seems to have been the only woman on the writing staff for this episode. Maybe Cameron was a stand-in for her?

Lastly, the writing of the patient herself is so abysmal and disgusting that I hope none of these writers are near a minor. Without saying too much, she is perpetuated as a manipulator towards those with power over her.

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.
