They gave Foreman one of the best lines in the episode.
“I wanted to stand under your window with a boombox over my head, but you told me you hated Eighties music.”
I pretty much enjoyed this ep, tho a few things really bothered me.
I didn’t understand why Foreman played along with Hause’s pantomime and stuff. Pretty weak for him not to simply say, “Participate meaningfully, or get the hell out.”
That phantom limb cure was way too fast. What, this guy has been seing doctors for 30 years, and no one thought of that before?
So Taub is just gone? That quickly?
There was something else I can’t quite remember, but like I said, I enjoyed the ep despite what I saw as shortcomings.
Didn’t it seem out of character for Chase to kill that guy though? I never would have seen that coming.
In addition to being a mass murderer, he threatened his wife.
He drank Cameron’s first husband’s sperm.
I think Foreman knows by now that yelling at House is counterproductive. Besides, when House gets his license back, he’ll be Foreman’s boss again. Yelling at your once and future boss is a Bad Idea.
I thought they were going to find out it was the Secret Service US guy that did it, CIA style.
Nice to see Det. Billings from The Shield getting work.
So far all 3 episodes this season have been below par for “House”. (But still far better than most stuff on TV.)
You have James Earl Jones, Cameron back playing the main room, etc. And this is what you get?
And no, Foreman has lousy taste in women.
Ohhhhh yeah, that’s where I know him from. When I first saw him, I thought it was Gennarro from Jurassic Park.
I liked this episiode really well, and House’s pantomime was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. I don’t pay attention to gossip type sites - is Taub actually gone from the show?
Sorry this remark has gone so long without getting the love it deserves.
Brilliant! (and probably true).
And re Taub: Unknown.
I just watched this episode via Hulu.com. (Always a week behind - bastards!) Great episode, in my opinion.
I also want to state that House drugging the cranky neighbor with a syringe was very reminiscent of “Dexter”. I half expected the neighbor to wake up in plastic wrap instead of duct tape.
Really good episode. Thought it was going to be a throw away episode but it definitely redeemed itself there at the end. I’m thinking Chase will quit so that 13 can get back in

He really is. Whatever redeeming qualities he had are long since gone. Jumping in bed with your colleague/patient in your trial study just pushed it over the top.

To be fair, it was only invented about 10 years ago. I figure the guy has grown tired of doctors telling him there’s nothing they can do but give pain meds.

Spittake!

Chase and Cameron were supposedly only stuck back on the team until Foreman could hire a new team. If House can bring 13 back (because he didn’t fire her and had no issue with her being there), then one of those 2 could go back to regular duties. We’ll see if Cameron really wants to be back on the team, or if she just dabbles to get her House fix.
