Either Wilson or Cuddy or Cameron is sure to spend some time telling House about himself, and he plumb loves doing it right back at them (and at his new charges, too). To me this felt more like "Order of the Phoenix" when Rowling decided to stop giving us Harry's backstory and allowed the other characters to do it instead. Same ground covered in a new way.<BR/><BR/>That said, great episode, although I kind of miss fake doc. I also wonder how long Jesse Spencer's going to be on the show considering he gets no screen time and he and Jennifer Morrison are no longer engaged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-62974245017908105262007-11-01T15:42:00.000-04:002007-11-01T15:42:00.000-04:00I think the whole House/Foreman dynamic has change...I think the whole House/Foreman dynamic has changed and will work the way that the Chase or Cameron dynamic has.

You could rotate young docs around every week, and I wouldn't care. Those three are great together.<BR/><BR/>The one thing I did like about Foreman's return was that he started to sort of get along with House in a different way. He seemed to appreciate House's prickliness and understand why this worked for him. <BR/><BR/>I'd much rather have Foreman be mildly amused by House's antics this season than pissed off and irritated like the seasons before.K J Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023089365553324315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-36767577882124813562007-11-01T04:02:00.000-04:002007-11-01T04:02:00.000-04:00LOVED every minute of 'Mirror, Mirror'.

His mopey suicidal freak-out episode was the first episode that I did not like at all.<BR/><BR/>Although, just to play devil's advocate for a second, Kellerman was the first of the newer "attractive" detectives. He had some dimension, yes, and he was good most of the time, I just didn't care for him by the time he left.<BR/><BR/>Me, I always missed Jon Polito.

I don't think I would miss him, or Cameron if they just disappeared off the show forever. <BR/><BR/>I would like some closure on the new people. I don't want to get attached to them and have them leave. Let's hope they wrap this up soon, there doesn't seem to be too much more they can really do with the reality spoofs. (Or maybe I've not seen enough Reality TV?). I like Cutthroat B*tch, Thirteen, and the old guy. Well, no more old guy, so.. I don't really care which one is the third.
