Reality is Almost Always Wrong: Spoiler Discussion Thread

I tried to play the latest clips but am getting a 'private content' message. Is it me? ETA: WTF? Now it works. Forget I said anything. :oops:

I tried to play the latest clips but am getting a 'private content' message. Is it me? Sorry, can't help you there, no problems for me playing them. Anyone? Re Cuddy - there's no evidence she knows anything about either the trick House played on Foreman to keep him running unnecessary tests on Nate or the little blow up House had with Foreman in front of Wilson when Foreman left. No way Foreman or House told her those details. So its reasonable that she trys what she does know - that House previously maybe did want to keep Foreman & couldn't/wouldn't voice it & Foreman needs to hear it. She probably does know enough not to bother asking Chase - I can't see him agreeing to this, but Foreman's not going to back down first go around & say yes either. I assume this is pre-his interviewing & not being able to get another job, because the spoilers say that in the next ep he (Foreman) is the one who asks Cuddy for a job.

The only redeeming reason for Cuddy's plea to Foreman in this clip is if she is truly concerned about House. He has been off his game for a while now, and he not only electrocuted himself, he did it before his patient was released(on his behalf,I think he ordered a feeding tube and then discharge if I remember it right,so he may have believed the case was over). She may really think he needs to be watched closely, which she can't do,which translates into having someone spy on him and report to her.Because she doesn't know all that transpired between House and Foreman, she might think he would be the one to do it. I hope it's something like this, rather than her begging Foreman to come back because she thinks he is so great at his job or House respects only him. That would make her completely clueless and I don't want that.

We will never be rid of Foreman. Ever.

In that clip, Foreman sure doesn't act like someone who needs a job. Maybe at that point he thinks he's going to have a ton of offers and then reality hits him and he comes crawling back. But I'm probably hoping for too much there.

But I'm probably hoping for too much there. Maybe in his arrogance he's still thinking at that point that he doesn't need to take Cuddy's offer, obviously that will change since he comes crawling back to PPTH.

We will never be rid of Foreman. Ever. Probably not - I've seen at least a couple of interviews with OE saying he's around til the show ends. In that clip, Foreman sure doesn't act like someone who needs a job. Maybe at that point he thinks he's going to have a ton of offers and then reality hits him and he comes crawling back. But I'm probably hoping for too much there. Actually, IMO that's probably right. There have been hints in the spoilers that the interviewing process doesn't go so well & he's not going to have a reference from House or probably from Mercy either this go around. And that's when Cuddy will get the upper hand. Plus isn't it reasonable that she feels she needs someone to keep a closer eye on House than she can? The man did decide to electrocute himself on hospital property recently - what's next?

And that's when Cuddy will get the upper hand. Plus isn't it reasonable that she feels she needs someone to keep a closer eye on House than she can? The man did decide to electrocute himself on hospital property recently - what's next? I can't really fault Cuddy for that, either. She can't keep an eye on House all the time, and Foreman does know how House operates. I can't see Chase or Cameron accepting such an offer. I took her statement to Foreman about being the only one House respects as a strategic ploy. We all know the size of Foreman's ego. Why not stroke it if that gets her the result she wants?

Saw the two clips. Ugh, Foreman you are trying my patience. And Cuddy, seriously? Seriously!?

I took her statement to Foreman about being the only one House respects as a strategic ploy. We all know the size of Foreman's ego. Why not stroke it if that gets her the result she wants? For me, the issue is not why Cuddy chose to offer 4man the spy on House job, I just wanted to know why we have spoilers for how Cameron and 4man fit into the new Houseverse and no news on how Chase is going to fit in - unless 4man antagonizes House so much that Cuddy turns to Chase, not to spy but to act as a buffer - I can't quite find the right word. And I agree Jouse. I am sick to death of 4man arcs. With a fanbase of 10, why oh why does he get so much screentime?

I'm interested to see how Cuddy's perspective actually pans out. I can't believe she's THAT delusional. But if I ever needed another reason to not want Cuddy as my boss, this clip confirms it. She'd be ready to just hack my salary by 15% and give it to someone else? Was there any indication that the fellows were overpaid to begin with? (I kind of assumed they weren't based on everyone's season 1 salary comments around the time Cameron quit.) Or should we assume that she regularly goes around paying people 15% more than they're worth and so cutting that out somehow leaves them at a still respectable rate. Again: Cuddy only a boss for House. For everyone else, someone to steer clear of.

I took her statement to Foreman about being the only one House respects as a strategic ploy. I very much hope you are right, misere, because if not, Cuddy is going to have to die. I'm sure being that wrong and clueless has to be terminal. :wink:

Again: Cuddy only a boss for House. For everyone else, someone to steer clear of. Remember that House divided the total amount he was paying CCF between all 40 candidates. As more are fired, the candidates' money increases, I presume... Jeez. CCF got barely anything (from the Vogler arc and the fact that House's salary was what, 5 figure?). Cut that by 15% and that's not a whole lot. I think Cuddy has a soft spot for Foreman. She doesn't like Chase particularly (see: her conversation with Cam about sleeping with Chase) and she certainly doesn't like Cameron (see: most episodes), but Foreman? Heh.

I want a Cuddy VooDoo doll after that clip.
