House: 8x05 "The Confession" - Discussion and Spoilers

[WeAreTheBorg]

I knew as soon as he started confessing to everyone in the waiting room it was a symptom. Not because I'm that good, but because it's a card they've played before.. just a few episodes ago they thought altruism was a symptom much faster than they caught on to this.

It was cool to see Jamie Bamber... didn't know he was gonna be in it. His American accent has got a bit rusty since BSG though.

Least Jamie didn't die in this show as he has a habit of doing in british shows.

I really enjoyed this episode, especially the scene with Chase and Taub in Foreman's office. It's really good to have them back and now we have one member from each docling "generation" on the current team. I was a bit disappointed that Bamber didn't use his natural accent but I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering Laurie doesn't either.

The only thing that bugged me about this episode is that I would have liked to know how having kids with two different women at the same time has affected Taub's relationships with them. I fully expect that he and Rachel are getting divorced but I would have liked some acknowledgement of that situation. I suppose they'll address it in a future episode. I also found it odd that he was able to have both children at the same time.

Taub and Rachel are divorced, but they started up something of a relationship again afterwards.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Were they already divorced? I thought they were just separated. I lose track of these things. *shrug*

 

[Trekker4747]

Pretty sure they were, I think I remember House taunting Taub over signing the papers and how the two were splitting up the marital assets, with Taub pretty much taking nothing but his car and moving in with Foreman.

Really enjoyed the episode, funny, liked House's speech on truth. I am really liking this season so far. It was a bit strange admission of the truth constantly didn't spark some ideas on the team especially since we saw a similar case a few weeks back.
