I'd initially though they were going somewhere else than that. I recall hearing that those master's-degree-at-sixteen kids have a tendency to overwork themselves or have socialization problems (because of advancing beyond their peers, age-wise, during the developmental phase, not because everyone was too dumb to put up with).
And here is link from The Sporting News with that clip.Okay.... right off the bat, just about .... House makes a joke including a reference to Mike Tomlin, and looks right at Foreman!!(if you haven't yet, look up their pictures). Never mind, I will
Thanks for that - I never would have figured out that reference and would missed out!
I'd go excellent as well. Very vintage House. This season is remarkably consistent.
This episode, I don't know...I also kinda' found it tiring. I really don't care about House/Cuddy, never have, so that didn't interest me at all. As for the POTW, I thought they were gonna' use his abandonment of his intellect right off the bat, explore what this means to House and how House feels about that...but they didn't really do that at all. I thought that could've been really interesting, but then they waste all this time with manipulating Cuddy and all. Bleh.
I do know one thing, though.
I..saw...crack.

I thought this was a very good esisode... just finished up watching it. I'm not totally thrilled the "new" team is back, but I'll live. One of my friend told me "Michael Westen" was on House and i was like "Holy crap, Jeffery Donovan is on House!" Alas, it wasn't *THAT* Westen, but none the less I think it was a great performance. I hate that Taub is back, I can't stand that character... I just see him and think Millhouse in 30 years... The Tomlin = Foreman thing was hilarious, subtle... but hilarious. Taub's wife is WAY out of his league... must be a marriage of "convenience" ;-) The House/Cuddy thing seriously needs to work itself out, one way or the other, for good... SOON. I'm sick of this back and forth bullcrap. Either hookup or hate each other.
Moment of the episode: House getting KO'd... so unexpected, and so perfect. I love it. More of this, much, much more of this!

They did. House sympathized with the POTW's view of being "lonely at the top" and gave him a safe way to be a dumb courier for the rest of his life.
Short of Wilson, everyone else has turned into House in terms of using dirty tricks to get what they want. I hope the writers are going somewhere with that.
They did very quickly, almost as an afterthought. The relative time received by this and the House/Cuddy relationship should have been reversed.
Anyone notice that they STILL have the original credits at the start? And the same shot of the old team walking at the end? I mean, what's it gonna take for them to update this thing?
^Sometimes credits are contracted on a season-by-season basis, and even if a regular leaves midseason, he or she is still contractually entitled to payment -- and thus credit -- for the full season. (Credits are determined by how much you get paid, not how much you participate.) Sometimes the credits are changed midseason, but not immediately. For instance, the original V television series killed off one of its regulars in episode 11 and wrote out three more in episode 12, but they were all billed as regulars through episode 13, since presumably they were under contract for the full 13.
Cameron left in episode 8 of the season, and this was episode 9. I wouldn't be surprised if her contract was for at least the first 13 episodes of this season, since that's pretty standard. So she might continue to be credited for another four episodes.

Ya know, hearing Cuddy quip about "slipping through a wormhole into an alternate dimension", I immediately thought to myself, "So Cuddy is a Sliders fan?" I know it's unlikely the line was meant as a reference to Sliders, but I guess the patient of the week being a genius level physics prodigy put me in the mindset to begin with.

Just got caught up on the season last night...
I think that this episode had a lot of subtle layers going on. First of, you have everyone being more house than house, except for Wilson, and House becoming a little more Wilson, between the one before this and this one. This does tie back to what cameron said to him when she left, that he's "poisoned them all." The only one he didn't/couldn't poison is Wilson.
You have House seeing a similarity between himself and the POTW, played almost to a point where he may have accepted that his need for the big V may have been spurred on by his desire to "like cuddy more." Perhaps he will question this aspect of his life.
House and Wilson's bond is definitely rising up to the top again (which is good because I've felt that it's been absent for a while now) and there is a new dynamic to the team with the two old two new aspect which I think shows promise. Every one of the four team members all share that thing which house has, the thrill/need to solve problems. It's what brought them all back, and why house wanted them all.
