Some fun lines, but I’m not understanding why House offered her a position on his staff (I do get why he offered her a position on his penis, ). She didn’t seem to demonstrate anything in particular that makes me envision her on the team.
New doc is smokin hot! Almost unreasonably hot. I’m not complaining though. Some great lines though. I loved how House tried to sell out Wilson for clinic hours at the end. Almost got away with it too.
Did anyone else feel Foreman was a little off… I mean he’s never been touchy feely, but he came off as a complete Jerk… He was right, but still a total jerk.
The Polio thing also came out of left feild. Maybe there should have been a hint of instability shown earlier in that Doctor rather than just having him go nuts in the last reel.
Another new character?!?! You know it will not end well and she’ll be gone in 6 episodes tops!
I had really mixed feelings. I thought the “House goes to the CIA” thing was great, very different from the usual, and I was surprised by the doctor poisoning the patient thing, so I thought that was pretty good too.
But now they’re adding yet ANOTHER character? This is turning into House: With A Cast Of Thousands! and I find it really irritating. If the old docs are out (Chase, Foreman, whatshername), then goodbye. If a new team will be in place then freaking pick them and move on. I’m not finding that the new larger cast adds to the show at all. I don’t give a rat’s ass about any of the new candidate doctors, and I’m really irked by the fact that every female doctor House works with has to be a HOTTIE!! I want more Cuddy and Wilson and less random new people I don’t give a shit about.
Exactly! I’m wit youse. The Trump Apprentice game with all the docs is dragging on far too long, and none of them have any presence for me; I hope they all get fired next week. Just silly and boring, and no administrator would stand for that nonsense for more than a week.
Actually, I kind of liked the ducklings back when their interplay and bickering was kind of fun. Each had a different point of view. Now, Foreman was terrible in this episode, and the others, when we see them, don’t seem to have any reason to be there.
Dump the new batch and either bring back the ducklings in their old parts, or dump them too.
I completely agree. But I did like the moment when House thought maybe Michael Michele was propositioning him and he really almost couldn’t go along with it. Since he’s someone who usually only sleeps with people he’s paying. But I agree, we don’t really need another character, esp. one who as mentioned didn’t seem to know much.
Far more explicit than his usual “banter.” I couldn’t believe they said that on tv.
I can’t believe they hired Michael Michelle. She’s just awful. She’s been awful in everything she’s ever done.
I feel like the House writing team doesn’t know how to end a story arc, and instead they stretch far too long. Tritter could have been a good arc (but wasn’t), but among its problems was that it went on at least 3 weeks longer than it should have. The “find new fellows” was fun for a while, but I’m done with it (for example, I don’t care about the mystery behind 13. I would have, two weeks ago; now my interest is gone) but the writers haven’t gotten to the end soon enough.
Did House hire her outright? Or does she have to compete with the others for the spot? If she’s hired outright, then he gets to pick only one of the newbies, right? He’s allowed three, according to the Cuddy rules. One is Foreman, two would be this new chick, and three would be whoever wins from the pool?
I think it got by because of its possible double meaning. He could have meant that there was a position open for the treatment of his urological issues, of which he has some history.
I don’t think the “valet” joke was a Jeeves & Wooster reference. He was mocking the CIA and trying to be all secretive by saying he was calling his “valet” instead of saying “My colleague Wilson.” Don’t some superheros (Batman, Green Lantern) have valets?
As for the penis thing, it was a play on words. He was trying to say “a position is open on my staff” which, if you were in the middle of flirting-by-double-entendre could be taken as “a position is open on my penis.” He cut through the chaff and went right for the “other” meaning, instead of making her guess, just so she would know that they were flirting. Unfortunately, he was also trying to let her know there was a position open on his staff
Count me as one of the people that enjoy the cast of thousands. In its own way it keeps everything fresh, and allows you to have stories that would REALLY seem implausible otherwise. Do you remember in St. Elsewhere when everything that could possibly go wrong all happened to one person; Dr. Jack Morrison (Played by recent House guest star David Morse). I really hated that. It was just a little too much for me.
if you ask me, I’d say keep the nucleus cast of Cuddy, House, Wilson, etc. and keep side stories coming with the ‘other’ actors.
