Human Error:
End of season 3 and it does not exactly top the previous season finale but still have a very big shock-
Forman, Chase and Cameron have all left (not to mention it was funny how everyone reacted to House firing Chase). It would seem that House would be getting a brand new team next season but creator David Shore said in the Behind The Scenes special which was on afterwards that the trio will be back next season.

Aargh the split screen and voiceover came too early as the episode was not quite finished.

In regards to the Behind The Scenes special absolutely shocking the number of times that Lisa Edelstein says the F word all at once.

What a surprise on what the big announcement turned out to be - season 4 is coming to 10 way sooner than expected on October 3 just over a week after its US debut. Yippee.

I disagree. I had a niggling that they all would leave during the last episode and when chase got fired I thought it became obvious that all would now have to leave. Especialy with the ads ten puts on.

Seems like another opportunity for House to die. If they dont all come back then noone will like the new people and the show will get worse until it fails. But it seems their all coming back so nothing to think about.

The Right Stuff:
Absolutely lovely to see Olivia Wilde whom I first saw just a few months ago in The O.C as well as Anne Dudek.
Also nice to see Carmen Argenziano.
It looks like the show's makers figured a way to keep Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer in the regular cast without their characters returning as House's team. Interesting to see how this new arrangement will work out.

97 Seconds:
Playing Foreman's boss is Kathleen York who like Olivia Wilde had a key role in The O.C.
Was not surprise that as soon as the green blood appeared, that there would be a Vulcan reference given that green is the colour of Vulcan blood.
What a shock (no pun intended) when House electricuted himself on the power socket!

10 could not showed the trailer for the next episode as it has not yet been shown in the US but the voiceover assures us that it is worth it. Look forward to see what it is going to be all about.

Guardian Angels:
Quite fun that House calls Henry, Bosley from Charlie's Angels.
This episode really felt like Ghost Whisperer as Irene can talk to dead people.
Foreman is back and now to see how this is going to affect House.

The next episode on Wednesday October 31 comes third place TV WEEK's highlights of the day as House meets a patient who is exactly like him!

The OC girl is irritating me because I can't see a skilled doctor, only the lesbian from OC. And the guy from the office isn't much better.

Nope and I seem to have misread the episode description as I will soon mentioned in my remarks about the episode-

Mirror Mirror:
This episode guest stars Frank Whaley and coincentally I saw him five nights earlier in the Outer Limits episode The Conversion. In both the House & Outer Limits episodes he got the "And" credit.
Here in House I thought he delivered a very sincere performance as a character who mirrors his personality with anyone he meets.

Three nights before this episode was shown House got a mention on the Einstein Factor when contestant Ashleigh did her special subject on the lives and careers of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. House was mentioned briefly by her in answer to the question about the title character doctor that Laurie plays. While she got this question right she did not win the game in the end.

I didnt understand how the mirror man could listen to one sentence and then tell all the intimate secrets of everyone in the room. oh well.
And was the betting House's idea or did he take advantage of Chase's idea?

Can't remember now.

Whatever It Takes:
What is with the new theme tune? I certainly wasn't expecting that.
Yet another reference to 24. Not that I finally anything wrong with that since I watch 24.
The CIA physician is gorgeous and it looks like we may see a lot more of her.
Poor Wilson when Cuddy did not believe him about House being at the CIA.
Oh my what a shocking revelation about Brennan.

That new theme tune is actually the original tune. That's the tune the show has always had in America. Its a song by Massive Attack called Teardrop. They did a similar little ditty for Australia and different ones for lots of other nations because of copywright issues. The only explanation I can think of is that they 'directly streamed' it from the US and forgot to change the music. I noticed at the end they had our season 2 theme. If anyone was nerdy enough to notice it then maybe there'll be some legal compliucations.

Did not know that before. In any case the latest episode Ugly reverted back to the old theme as before.

Nicely structured episode with the mix of perspective from the camera crew.
Obviously House was joking when he said that he became a doctor as a result of Patch Adams. Patch Adams was released in 1998 and House would seem to have been a doctor long before that.
Not so surprising that Dr Terzi got fired but did not expect her to be fired this soon.

Call me a fan boy but I'm hoping that House will get sick of all the characters and the golden three will come back to him, all their characters will undevelop, we'll forget everttything we know about them and we'll be back to season one all over again.

Ok maybe the end of that was dumb but Blackman is already back and Girl seems to be in love with him. And of course if the other two do something then Australian will follow. He always does.
And Manfromtheoffice is really annoying.

You Don't Want to Know:
Poor 13 with the condition she is having. Have sympathy for the character.

According to someone at tvaus.com, 10 will resume screening season 4 on Wednesday February 13.

Games:
I hated that Amber got fired but definitely pleased that 13 gets to stay on after House changed his mind. Don't feel sympathy for the rock musician patient.

It's A Wonderful Lie:
Clever wordplay on the title.
I was mentally drooling as this episode guest starred the very beautiful Janel Moloney a former regular on The West Wing. Incidentally Lisa Edelstein had appeared in five episodes of The West Wing season 1 but like this House episode did not appear together with Janel.

Horrifying seeing Janel's character's eyes bleeding and seeing House in church at the end of the episode.

Frozen:
Very good performance from guest star Mira Sorvino especially with her dialogue with House.
Quite shocked with the ending of the episode.

Don't Ever Change:
Although this became the finale to season 4 due to the recent writers' strike, this is not a bad ending to the season and the Jewish bride makes for an interesting patient.
