My betas, deserve more than just thanks for this vid. obsessive24 deserves all of the credit for anything that works and none of the blame for anything that doesn't. And the vid likely would not have been released at all without the input of laurashapiro.

Thanks also to millylicious for the vid banner and last-minute advice.

My previous two House season overviews are here:
My Little Drum (Season 1)
Vertigo (Season 2)
