Looking at earlier seasons, it does appear House was a bit less of a crazy person and a bit less of an asshole. While Cameron and chase are pretty useless, seems to me Foreman was a much better doctor or acted like one, actually having good ideas and being respected by House.. Houseīs way of course.
In that episode about the kid with night terrors, House actually deffers to him "itīs your call, Foreman". Something I donīt think Iīve noticed in the latter 2 seasons.

I just recently re-watched season 1 and 2 and I don't remember anything like that in the night terrors episode.
He cheated on his wife with a nurse, his plastic surgeon partners found out, he resigned to save his marriage. That was revealed in the season 3 episode they re-aired on tuesday, it's fresh in my mind.
watched it last night, they keep re-running a lot of episodes in various channels so itīs fun to catch season1, 2 or 3 episodes in the next day. So when House explain that they DO have a chance to inject the Interferon (or something)... at first they donīt believe it can be done, then he lets foreman explain while it really can, and says "Itīs your call Foreman", but of course I could have heard it wrong.
I think you're talking about the injection of penicillin directly into his brain. House knows why it can be done, but Cameron and Chase don't, so House lets Foreman explain to them that there is a shunt because he is the neurologist.
I had what I think was an orthodox read of that scene, and one that's probably wrong, but here it is. In the scene where Taub confronts his wife about the bank account, she flips the situation, saying that it's for a car she was secretly planning on getting him for his birthday, and somewhere in there I (perhaps mistakenly) got the impression that there was a specific car he was interested in. When she shows up with the car, I thought it was the wrong one, exposing her plan as a reaction to being caught, and took his response ("We need to talk") as a confirmation of that. Am I completely out in left field on that?
I thought the wife was being honest (I guess I'm a sucker for a pretty face), and Taub was planning on telling his wife about his affair because he was feeling too guilty thanks to House constantly bringing it up.
You're probably right. No doubt as the season rolls on it will be made clear.
Yea, I think this is more of the correct one. He kept asking the POTW and his girlfriend about keeping secrets and if they felt better knowing or not. He's finally cracked under the guilt of his affair, due to his wife's honesty and Houses' constant wound poking.
House is really a bastard in this season. I guess I'd be less than amicable if I only had one friend and that friend told me that we were never really friends, but House is losing his redeeming human qualities.
My money is on Wilson returning because he sees that he balances House out, apparently they'll be taking a road trip next week, that's fertile ground for some cliched reuniting/warming to the person you think you hate.
So I heard Private Dancer listening to the radio in the shower just now, and it hits me!
Scrubs! That's where I'd seen the PI before! It'd been bugging me that I knew him from somewhere other than what was listed previously, and it was from his role as Private Dancer.
Load off my mind.
The actor that plays House's dad also plays the angry janitor's dad. When I saw him it was a "wtf" moment.
That would be R. Lee Ermey. And if all you know him from is Scrubs and House, you, sir, need to watch Full Metal Jacket.
Or Saving Silverman.
Or Space: Above and Beyond. Or Mail Call.
Ok, I didn't see FMJ, but I saw this movie, and I don't remember him from it.
He was the high school football coach that advised Silverman's friends on what to do about Amanda Peet's character.
Okay, drop everything you're doing, go to video store or big box retailer, buy or rent FMJ, then watch.
How predictable, it was still a good episode though.
Ya! Wilson and House kissed and made up.
=)
Well, they didn't kiss, but you know what I mean.
What was Wilson's last line. Damn Fox was off on the time and it chopped the ending off.
House said that his dad was dead and Wilson said "my condolences" (or sympathies or something).
Before that, it was something about House was fun to be with and Wilson was returning to the hospital as his old position of head of oncology and House's BFF.
This episode was OK, but holy shit I can't wait to see next weeks!
See....
Interesting...
Man House is a petulant brat. Though I love the whole Cuddy and Wilson dope House to the gills to get him in a car and going to the funeral. And the POTW was an interesting one as well.
Anyone else notice that the medicine is starting to be more on the back-burner while the drama aspects are moving forward? It used to be that the POTW (or at least discussion about) had as much air time, if not more, than everyone else.
True, but that's not a bad thing. The show could almost be called "formulaic" back during the era of the POTW.
I think it was in the season 3 thread that I complained about that very fact that nothing changed on the show and that nothing had real consequences. Season 4 changed that a bit with the new team, though it was fun to have the original 3 talking over a diagnosis last night. I suppose they have to get work sometimes.
Impressions?
I only saw the last 15 minutes due to a family function.
I didn't like it that much, they were trying to focus on 13 but nothing really happened
small spoiler:
other then the shock of her being fired.
end spoiler
The best parts of the episode were House ,Wilson, and the PI story in my opinion.
