4-9: "Games" 2007.11.27 - TWoP Forums: House always needs to have at least one person around him who's opposite. Neither Taub (who's actually got some House-like qualities) nor Kuttner really are. 13, who I suppose will have to be referred to by her real name now, sort of fits. And it DOES kind of fit in that House has a bit of a weakness for attractive women. It places him in a spot where he can't be quite as mean for a few minutes (only to come back twice as mean later on sometimes). I mean, House has been outright NICE to her on occasion, but it didn't come off as that out of character for him. I think it almost works as a kind of picture of how the guy used to be, before he became a bitter a-hole. And we need that, if only because this far into a series about him we can't keep seeing the exact same House every time he's on screen. Maybe its a repeat of what he had with the last woman on his team... but maybe that's the point. House isn't annoyed by a softening presence on his team. He (not so secretly) wants one. We may question the current writing or the actress (who I actually like--even with the partial reveal of her past she's still a cypher, and that can be good), but she DOES fit a KIND of character House needs around him.
-So do you think 13 is going to finally reveal her name next week? so she was choosing not to give her name? .. not next week, though. no new epis til January.
a lot of negativity twd her character. I like her.
-I was convinced that Thirteen, in spite of being a bigger bitch than Amber and the most poorly written character I've seen on TV for some time, was staying because she was played by Olivia Wilde. I was shocked when she was fired because I thought, wow, Shore still has the balls to surprise me.
