the scenario of House visiting the CIA is funny as hell Okay, yes, that one made me laugh. we also follow what's going on with Foreman, Chase and Cameron in their new jobs. Now that sounds like we get to see several scenes over some time of where CCF are. I rather like that idea. LightMyCandle, this is her http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005230/

this is her Thanks Ranee. I haven't seen her in anything but dear Lord I hope she and House don't do the nasty, they would just look way too wrong together, almost inconceivable to me.

I've got mixed feelings about casting her. On one hand I'm having problems seeing her with House (she's too associated with ER for me). On the other, smart, competent older woman character (cough:alli:cough:honey:cough:the twins 15A & 15B:cough) - that I like.

I hated her on ER. TPTB's standards just keep dropping :(

That's what those mean. When you quote without including them it doesn't mean quite the same thing imho. If you ignore the fact that I characterized my comment as being in evil bitch mode and then accuse me of being harsh, that's not really fair. Ooops, sorry sweetfern, no offense taken or intended. I guess I should have put my comments in "ironic, isn't it" quotes. I just thought the 'must have slept with the boss' critique was a funny/ironic one to use for her considering her past. Maybe I should have used :) or this :wink: .

I actually don't remember her on ER. I might have quit watching by that point. I do remember the clunky, wooden performance she gave on Homicide, where she seemed to mistake speaking slowly for acting, and that show wasn't even loaded with top-notch actors at that point. However, I also remember seeing her in Kevin Hill, and she was fine, so maybe she was just horribly miscast before. All in all, probably not worth much fuss over a guest star. :lol:

All in all, probably not worth much fuss over a guest star. Indeed. We've spent almost two pages talking about MM's "wood" problem. That's probably more lines than she'll get in the show! ;-) Hopefully, we'll get some new spoilerage to discuss soon. I am starting to get annoyed by all those so called 'cool' things they make House do. He's a freaking doctor, let him do doctor stuff. ITA. It's getting a bit too much like an audition for "Doctor's Got Talent!" House visiting the CIA? We'll have to have some Covert-tinis to celebrate that. Can you imagine the sort of havoc he'll wreak? ;-)

she seemed to mistake speaking slowly for acting, That's so weird, if you ever watch NCIS, Lauren Holly seems to have the same problem. Indeed. We've spent almost two pages talking about MM's "wood" problem. That's probably more lines than she'll get in the show! You're probably right. I don't anticipate it being a huge deal but after seeing a picture of her, I just don't want any sex/flirting/deep conversations going on with her and House. They just look way too odd together. I don't know why that's bugging me so much, but it is.

So, moving on here :lol: , we know Chase is in Arizona, Foreman at Mercy & where TF is Cameron? We know she ends up in the ER, but why all the lack of info where she is? Something important or TPTB don't know? I believe we know Cuddy hires Chase back - any thoughts on whether she tells House or not? My votes she doesn't, but does it behind his back as a follow up to HE. I'm on the fence whether she tells Wilson or not, or whether its his idea to start with. It would help if I could spell.

Well, I'm sticking this here because its a promo of sorts - courtesy of donkeykong's blog. Dylan Loves House?

Heads up folks, the press release for Alone is out. From futoncritic WITHOUT THE HELP OF A TEAM, HOUSE SCRAMBLES TO DIAGNOSE A WOMAN AFTER A BUILDING COLLAPSES ON HER ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "HOUSE" TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, ON FOX When an office building collapses, House has to work fast to diagnose a young woman, Megan, who survived the disaster. Due to her injuries, Megan's only form of communication is blinking. House, without a team since Foreman and Cameron quit and he fired Chase, talks through his ideas with a janitor at the hospital. As Megan's condition worsens, Cuddy puts pressure on House to hire a new team, but House defiantly ignores her, and Wilson resorts to desperate measures and hits House where he knows it will hurt. As House persists in diagnosing Megan by himself, he realizes that the case is not what it appears, and that solitude may not be the answer in the "Alone" episode of HOUSE. Guest Cast: Liliya Toneva as Liz; Kay Lenz as Mrs. Bradberry; Conor Dubin as Ben; Bevin Prince as Megan; Pat Millicano as Leon; Kathryn Adams as Young Doctor; Ken Takemoto as Sam Lee; Leo Vargas as Male Nurse; Maurice Godin as Dr. Hourani; Xhercis as Imelda; Shannon McClung as Doug; Bobbin Bergstrom as Nurse.

Wilson resorts to desperate measures and hits House where he knows it will hurt. Oh, man. :sweatdrop: *paces around nervously* A little reassurance people. *continues to pace*

Wilson resorts to desperate measures and hits House where he knows it will hurt. He calls Chase & Chase solves it? :roll: Srsly, more likely he bruises House's ego that he's not as good as he was with the old team, they were doing 90% of the work - House's response is to prove any old team is fine. Interesting there's no mention of the survivor game or CCF - presumably the game starts ep 2??

*in crazy H/W shipper mode* No more anger between them! No more anger! Heart can't take it! Can't take it! *end crazy H/W mode* *in rational Wilson fangirl mode* It's still better than House hitting Wilson where it hurts, I really got sick of that last year. That's not to say House won't say/do something back but I do get a little bit of satisfaction when Wilson gets to House as opposed to the other way around. And maybe getting the 40 new duckling candidates is House's response to whatever it is Wilson says/does *end rational Wilson fangirl mode* Plus there's always the (supposed) B&E and hotel scene.
