I've only seen maybe 5 episodes, all scattered about, but they were good. I think I'll pick up the series on Netflix once I'm done with my kungfu movies.

The end of last season helped things get back on track, but I still haven't entirely forgiven the show for that god damn Tritter cop arc.

Mrs. Naum's favorite show…
What was wrong with Tritter cop arc?

I'm not a fan of the new season. All the new interns are sub-par compared to the original 3.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Yeah but now there's two hotties on the show  Also the whole selection process was just the best. |

I love House. The only thing that makes me sort of sad is knowing that Bertie Wooster is probably dead forever. Don't laugh! It really did used to be my favourite show!

The Tritter cop arc went on way too long and really didn't accomplish much of anything. The intern arc was great though. I have to admit to having a soft spot for Kal Penn because of Harold & Kumar. The season finale was a really well done way to kill off a character.

Did everyone miss the season premiere? There wasn't as much House in House as usual. |

How is this a spoiler? I agree with others that you shouldn't need the spoiler tag to discuss events that have already been broadcasted on tv. |

You still get it over here on Gold or ITV3. Ahhh, the good old days. That said, I love House. |

I wish he'd team back up with Rowan Atkinson and do some more Black Adder. There are tons of historical periods that still need to be covered.

House is one of my favorite shows ever and I own all 4 seasons on DVD but it's hilarious how everything has to somehow go back to normal at the end of every season. I know people will point to the end of Season 4 (which was lame IMO) but outside of some references to it nothing will really change that much.
The Vogler and Tritter arcs annoyed the shit out of me. Let's build up all this stuff and uh...have it kinda peter out...uselessly. Tritter at least got some words in at the end, Vogler just up and disappeared.
Also, I'm agreeing they haven't done much with the new interns. I refuse to call Kumar...anything but Kumar. They haven't done shit with him really compared to say, Taub.

I hear she's bisexual! It's completely irrelevant to anything, but make sure it's mentioned in every single episode!

The repack of the new episode was missing the last sentence of audio. All I could get was:
Can someone spoiler the rest of that sentence for me?

Does anyone else see the character rotation as Fox attempting to save money by giving previous main characters bit roles. I don't really like the PI and the new helpers aren't nearly as interesting.

I don't know the reason behind it, money, bad writing, whatever, but there is zero character development going on. Anywhere. With anyone. Even House doesn't seem as interesting as usual. If they're going to get rid of some of the characters they have already developed to a certain degree, they have to give us something on who's left. As much as I like the House character, his terrible interaction with his peers and employees is one of his main characteristics and one of the reasons I enjoy the show. Hopefully, it was a brief lull. If not, then bring back Bertie!

Yeah, it seems to be faultering a bit, and I really wish they'd bring back the original fellowship. They could have done so much more with them.
Hugh Laurie is credited as an exec producer now; is that new this season? Maybe he just wants to do new things with the show.
Last night I caught a rerun of the cancer girl episode. It's like the show used to have teeth, used to be about tough stuff and the humorous ways we deal with it all. Now it's just a bunch of clashing personalities and desperately trying to be different but not succeeding. It's still very watchable to me, but not as interesting as it used to be.

He got the title as part of his pay raise this season. http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN1235329620080912 |

The soap that was in the show is completely gone in my eyes. Also, House himself has gone from self-centered and childish to downright aggressive and mean. I'm not getting this whole Wilson plotline - it's suggested it springs from House's sociopathy, but House isn't a sociopath, he just got a huge, petty-minded ego. He is not evil, he's over-the-top frank which can be seen as evil, but with the difference that you as a viewer knew he was, in essence, right and rational (except occasionally).
This shit is depressing and it's not supposed to be that. Fuck it, House was one of my favorite shows since Rome ended and they cancelled Deadwood.

I don't get why Wilson hates him now unless House really blew him up in the first episode of this season, which I missed.

You need to watch the end of the first episode.
Also, this spoiler tag stuff is stupid.

So Private Dancer from Scrubs is now the new Wilson?
Anyway yeah, we don't need spoiler tags for things that have already happened. Who goes in a TV thread when they haven't seen the latest episode?

The Wilson thing is another part of House's glacial growth. He's finally realized that he ACTUALLY NEEDS SOMEONE. That very realization is drives him crazy, because he's always prided himself on not needing anything from anyone. Wilson doesn't blame him for Amber's death (he said so at the end of EP1), he just realizes he's been enabling House's shitty behavior.

Eh, Wilson will be back. They're just jerking around the viewer.
And it looks like Thirteen is going to be the center of a whole lot of conflict, maybe even love interest Dr. House…

He can't be in love with Thirteen. She sucks!
Also - I'm with Trippy. I hate these spoiler tags. I'm clever enough not to go into TV threads if I'm worried about it. So, yeah, hate them.
