You know, watching some of the commentary stuff on the DVDs made me feel a little more at ease. At least Davd Shore recognized that it was a formula and said the ducklings weren't going anywhere. I started hoping that Foreman would grow up to be Chase's Wilson. :lol:

And most importantly, looks like Cuddy is wearing something low cut. XD I don't know if I would call this something low-cut as much as something nonexistant! It looks very much as though Cuddy has just flung on her lab coat over her otherwise gorgeously naked self. I am loving this -- maybe she and House get it on as early as the first episode! Perhaps Cuddy has rethought the no-sex-in-the-supply-closet policy she ennunciated during the Chase/Cam fling of last season. I hope so, and I want lots of visual evidence, not just post-facto dialogue!

Yeah, but look at that new red jacket in the la-*test*-('") promo marykir posted on the spoilers thread (thank you, marykir, you are a god!) - 1) I want the jacket & 2) fun House snark with Cuddy ;D

Nice purple (stripey?) shirt on House :P Looks good. Are those first scenes in some new part of the hospital we've never been to before?

A six week interview! Wear a cup! Lots of House playing the guitar! Close-ups of same. :guitar: (we need that smiley with a white guitar ;D) Okay, I know a lot of folks aren't thrilled about the lack of ducklings, but seeing the "he's hiring" preview (posted on the spoiler thread last night by marykir if you haven't seen it), I'm squeeing like crazy (& ZOMG, does Olivia Wilde look like s1 Cameron).

Olivia Wilde look like s1 Cameron :crying:

Great. Just what this show needs--another ship. Gah. I hate the way it seems it's going.

I love all the potential for comedy with the new candidates. House has always had an eye for lovely brunettes so the instant click with the Olivia Wilde character is not at all a surprise. I speculate that this will flame out as prettily as did the past season's trifle with the teen stalker sporting the Fresno spores. The possibility of again seeing Hugh Laurie in full flirt mode is oh so delicious to contemplate.

I speculate that this will flame out as prettily as did the past season's trifle with the teen stalker sporting the Fresno spores. The possibility of again seeing Hugh Laurie in full flirt mode is oh so delicious to contemplate. I agree. And I don't mind House flirting as long as he eventually ends up with Wilson. :wink:

House looks.. not quite his usual snarky self in this promo. Somehow I imagined him taking this opportunity do get really mean and taunting on their new duckling asses. I wonder if this can be attributed to The Change *rubs chin contemplatively*

Sorry, I don't see where anything shippy is happening in the la-*test*-('") promo. The redhead reacts more than OW (in a 'I can't believe he said that kind of way') and OW's reaction seems more like 'oh man, I can't believe I'm putting up with this.' ETA: Jouse, House does say he'll be -*test*-('")ing them in ways they'll consider unfair, demeaning, and illegal. I don't think he's gone soft :)

marykir - Yes, but he doesn't seem to enjoy it.

I'm sure we'll get to see him enjoying it - he wouldn't be House otherwise. He does seem very relaxed with the guitar though, nice visual link to the end of Human Error. OW does really look like early Cameron in that shot, but I can't imagine they are going to going the shippy route with her character ("Thirteen", IIRC?) - it would be too much of a retread & wouldn't necessarily work well with the possible upcoming H/Cuddy. So hopefully that fear won't pan out. Also, I know this tvguide article was referred to in the spoiler thread, but I found a scan & it has some nice pics of the new fellows too which I don't think have been shared (I'll post in the spoilers only for future ref). tvguide article

OW does really look like early Cameron in that shot, but I can't imagine they are going to going the shippy route with her character ("Thirteen", IIRC?) - it would be too much or a retread & wouldn't necessarily work well with the possible upcoming H/Cuddy. So hopefully that fear won't pan out. God, I hope not. I can't help it, I already don't like her. Maybe I'll get lucky and be proven wrong but as of now she sounds and looks like Cameron jr. and seeing as how I can barely put up with Cameron Sr., I just...ugh.
