Someone on my flist said that the show was veering toward primetime soap opera, and I think I agree, for the most part. It feels like, for one thing, they're needlessly creating a lot of drama (like with hostage-taker dude who then experimented on 13, and now with Foreman being an idiot and 13 near death next episode), and kind of cheapening the effect of the more interesting drama (like Cuddy getting a baby, though that last episode could have been spread out over a few more episodes for a much better effect, imo). I dunno, sometimes I feel like I'm not even watching House anymore, and the characters just happen to be sharing the same names.
I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing that it's becoming a bit primetime-soapy, but it's just not my thing.
