On a side note, I just so happened to be channel surfing last night, and came across the live action version of 101 Dalmations.  even though I've never bothered to watch the whole thing, I recieved a shock. There was none other that Hugh Laurie as one of Glenn Closes' hencmen...

Cool, I didn't know that (I've never seen the movie). I would have recognized him if I ever saw the movie, but fortunately I have not been subjected to said torture.

I try and forget about some of the movies he's been in.  The Flight of the Phoenix remake in particular was a god-awful, almost criminal desecration of a classic film.

Or worse of all there is Stuart Little, he is that dad. I like him better as just plain House.

Or you could say he looks great in this outfit from his days on Blackadder

Tonights episode was pretty good. Liked that i recognized a few faces in the potential new team members. The plastic surgeon and the guy from white castle to be more specific.

I loved this episode. It was chock full of more tasty Houseisms.

"Were you in row D? I'm sorry, my boss says I'm being arbitrary. Row D is NOT fired... row C, YOU are fired!"
"The hair makes you look like a hooker. I LIKE it."

Oh, and #6 coming back as #9, too awesome. Very ballsy and blatant, just House's style. I hope he makes it to the team, or at least lasts a few more episodes.

I'm really enjoying the development of this story arc.

And it looks like the sources were right about his old team - back at the hospital, but not working for House anymore (at least for now, anyway).

I'm hoping Kal Penn makes it onto the team because he's a generally entertaining actor even if some of his projects have been of the canine variety.

Speaking of dogs, mine decided to go on a barking jag during the scene with "26", did House offer him a job or something?

It turned out that the guy wasn't actually a doctor (which was why he let #13 do the procedure). But he said that he had been an administrator at a medical school for 30 years, and had audited every single class over the years, most of them more than once - he just hadn't gotten a degree. He figured since House was a breaker of rules, he might give him a chance anyway.

House told him there was no way he could hire him as a doctor, but he should stick it out anyway, as he could still give House his opinions, get him coffee, pick up his dry cleaning, etc.

26 says: "Are you offering me a job as your secretary?"
House says: "Assistant. It sounds slightly less demeaning."
26 says: "That's not exactly my dream job."
House says: "Yes it is. It's just not your dream title."

HTH.

So does that mean he'll be on the show now cause I rather liked him.

Oh and I'd like to see "13" stay, you know just 'cause.

We'll find out I guess.

Up here in Canuckistan, we don't usually get the next weeks' previews for some reason... maybe something to do with the fact that they're all affiliate stations or something. So I don't even get little clues.

I thought this episode was great as well.  Much more House like comments like what you guys have said before, and also i thought it was an interesting move to put the Mormon character in there.  It'll be interesting to see what they do with him if House decides to keep him on. 

I tried to find the preview for the next episode for you guys but didnt have much luck, ill have to look a little while later to see if someone posted it on youtube somewhere.

I liked the LDS character as well and with the event shown in the preview there might be a bit more theological contemplation in this season.

Tantalising detail eh Chaos

[Chaos]

I love how quickly House got him to drink, too. It's the old "could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?" routine.

I liked the Schroedinger's Cat reference.  You can't go wrong with a good quantum physics joke.

(Please note that the emphasis is on "good" quantum physics jokes.  The kind that you're not funny enough to come up with).

I kinda wish the russian lady would have stayed.  Maybe it's just because I liked her accent, though.
