I want to know how come all America's medical interny type people are young and sexy. My doctors are a bunch of geriatic wallies.

The twins look all right. I can't be the only person completely okay with the Ducklings leaving forever. I know DS and Co. says it isn't happening, but really, how can they add new characters without detracting from the old ones' screen time? The only thing I'm sad never panned out is a Foreman/Cameron story. I couldn't care less about where Chameron does or doesn't go. And I agree with the assertion that an episode of pure Cuddy/Wilson/House WINS at life. I CAN'T WAIT!

I CAN'T WAIT! Me too, me too! Yes, I wish Chase was still around (& he will be so I'm happy), but Cameron & Foreman, don't care one whit! I'm looking forward to seeing the fun & games with the candidates & House running circles around them (sic!) The Right Stuff - Doris Egan rocks!

I will miss Chase (I really can't imagine the original ducklings getting the same amount of screentime as they have in the past) I doubt I'll miss Foreman and I look forward to (hopefully) reduced Cam screentime. That said, ep. one all House/Wilson/Cuddy? Me likey. I'm no longer worried about "hitting House where it hurts" because I don't think it'll be anything like "Meaning" and if it gets House to hire a team, I'm putting it in the win pile. I really think Wilson will just say something to hurt House's ego, not go through a whole other lie and manipulation thing. But seriously, an ep. with the grownups? Oh yeah, I'm definately ready for this season.

Fiddy, that candidate who's visible a lot is "#13" played by Olivia Wilde. IIRC that interview with DS yesterday says she's the keeper out of all the candidates so far. just to clarify a bit, he's saying that she's a keeper in the sense that she'll be one of the finalists. and he's not actually the one who refers to her that way. "keeper" is the word of whoever put that little column on returning shows together. he could very well have already decided that she'll be a series regular, but in the context of that little blurb, it just means that she'll be one of the recurring guest stars along with peter jacobson, kal penn and the other two. everyone else is window dressing or there for a punchline. eta: and it's really driving me crazy trying to figure out who 15B is. i've seen her in something. like, a tiny little part, maybe just a scene. whatever it was, it's something that i've watched a *lot*, i just can't place it and imdb is no help at all. both show up with a couple of credits and even though i'm not sure if i've seen their particular episodes, i've seen the shows. still, none of that is ringing a bell. i'm picturing her standing there with a totally deadpan reaction to somone else. does anyone have any clue what else that girl might have been in?

Anyone else find the whole "Cameron/JMo lookalike" thing profoundly disturbing? Particularly since JMo has apparently now gone back to being a brunette. http://community.livejournal.com/house_cameron/2425039.html

JM is a blonde in those pics. The lighting is just so bad that it's difficult to tell. I looked through that thread, but I still don't understand what you meant by this: Anyone else find the whole "Cameron/JMo lookalike" thing profoundly disturbing? Am I the only one who thinks that OW and JM look nothing alike, even when they are both brunettes? JM (and Cameron) is so the girl-next-door, and OW has the face for editorial fashion. Completely different.

I don't see much of a resemblance. I mean, they both have long hair and prominent cheekbones, but if you look at Olivia as a blonde and compare her to the pics of JMo as a blonde, they don't really look much alike. (Besides, most women considered "beautiful" by Western standards look at least a little bit alike, because there are universal factors in beauty - symmetrical features, big eyes, full lips, relatively wide forehead, etc.) Curiously, I noted that the newbie generating the most "break me off a piece of that" comments isn't one of the final five, it's that guy who looks like a cross between Wilson and George O'Malley from Grey's. No clue about 15B. Maybe she's one of those people who looks like someone else?

JM has that apple cheeked, girl next door look where as i've always thought that OW looked like she'd cut you if she had to. {g} Curiously, I noted that the newbie generating the most "break me off a piece of that" comments isn't one of the final five, it's that guy who looks like a cross between Wilson and George O'Malley from Grey's. he *is* cute...but, what? No clue about 15B. Maybe she's one of those people who looks like someone else? other than 15A, you mean? yeah, she might be one of those faces. even though i'm pretty sure i've seen her on something fairly recently (last few years or so), the more i look at both of them the more they remind me of the actress who played kathy martin on "st. elsewhere". ten years from now i'll be watching some television, it'll be the one i first saw her on and i won't even remember that she was driving me nuts in these "house" pics.

Well to me, Cameron from S1 and Olivia Wilde are too similar looking.

You might know the twins from s1 Nip/Tuck (that's where I know them from at least). ITA, the guy playing Mason is cute too - he's familiar from something else too.

i saw Nip/Tuck on there, but didn't think that was it. but, it actually could be. Jonathan Sadowski's IMDb page, maybe you see something familiar on it looks like another of those guys who has been on a bunch of things i've seen, but isn't actually standing out for me. around the eyes, though, he kind of looks like patrick fugit. Well to me, Cameron from S1 and Olivia Wilde are too similar looking. i'm not going to deny that there might be intentional similiarities there...though i'm no longer entirely clear on whether there is a genuine similarity between thirteen and cameron on paper or if that's a creation by the cameron and house/cameron folks who have gone totally over the edge. because, really, as much as i love this show, similar characteristics bleed over into multiple characters at times in moments where it isn't an intentional move to tie things together. they aren't quite in sorkin-land yet, which is good. i love sorkin-land, but sorkin-land doesn't need to crash into house-land. still, try as i might, beyond hairstyle and them simply being pretty young girls, i don't see them as being dopplegangers. and i think i've about hit the end of my rope with the cameron-focused folks who have me second guessing what is and isn't a spoiler. i wasn't playing in spoiler threads until recently and until i dipped my toes in, i had it all straight. it made sense, it worked, i knew who said what and where they said it and what was in relation to what else. two seconds reading through other threads and seeing the same incorrect info posted over and over with that "they sky is falling" tone, i'm about to pull my hair out. TPTB could royally fuck this whole thing up. or they could pull it off. or it could just be some neutral mess in the middle where there's nothing to get excited about positively or negatively. but, it's not a conspiracy against people who like cameron and david shore really never promised us anything. gah. my head hurts.

but, it's not a conspiracy against people who like cameron and david shore really never promised us anything. gah. my head hurts. Me too. 'Cos its also not a conspiracy by DS against people who hate Cameron by inflicting a double dose of them on the audience in complete violation of Cameron's resignation at the end of s3 :wink:
