House manipulates, Cameron judges, and we’re back to square one
“House is back in charge … and we’re treating a porn star.” – Foreman
Is it wrong that the most memorable moment of tonight’s House episode was in the cold open, when the teeny little porn director was the exact height of the swarms of boobs around him? No wonder the guy got into the porn biz….
I’m really torn about the events of this episode. I never missed Taub and Thirteen, and I was really enjoying the old team being back together again. I liked House’s growth, because he could be an ass without being downright cruel, but all that got thrown out the window tonight. So did we see Cameron’s growth instead, only to have the door hit her on the way out? Is there no room for growth on House?
Euthanasia. We all do it (on House).
This week’s House is the first episode of the series I’ve enjoyed in a long time. And not just because it hasn’t aired in three weeks because of baseball. “Known Unknowns” was reminiscent of House at its finest, early in the series. Unlike some episodes that seem like filler, this episode moved the characters forward instead of keeping them spinning in the perpetuity of their Princeton Hospital hamster wheel.
There were a lot of beautiful small moments to appreciate: Cameron sitting at House’s desk opening his mail; the jokes about Cuddy’s breasts being like Selma and Patty from the Simpsons.

Quotations Marks – The one where we take a break from the reality that was this week
I couldn’t help but use this image from last week’s True Blood of Lafayette’s ‘visit’ to the office at Fangtasia, as the scene, and the quote, was probably the funniest moment on television this week. He has got to be one of the most quotable characters on the air today; I’m sure he’ll continue to show up in this column week after week.
“So if I’ve got even a ‘Jew at an Al-Qaeda Pep rally’ shot at getting my black ass up out of this mother fucker, I’m taking it.”

“When it comes to men, I’ve got a long history of putting the cart so far out in front that the horse can’t see it, so now I”m just trying to get it right.”

Can Michael Weston have his own show now please?
Michael Weston has become a pretty familiar face, at least on my TV, in the last couple of years or so. He’s guest starred on quite a few of my favorite shows, including Scrubs, Medium, and Supernatural.
His role on House as a private investigator named Lucas was supposed to be a lead in for his own spin-off, but that just never materialized. In fact, go ahead and try and find some information about why it never happened, and you’ll end up with zip. It just got swept under the rug. Read the rest of this entry »
I just realized I miss House’s P.I.
One of the best things about the beginning of House, season five, was that cool private investigator that House hired to do his dirty work. I’ve been loving the last few episodes of House, so I didn’t realize that I missed him until it suddenly dawned on me out of the blue: Michael Weston, where’d you go?
More accurately, Lucas Douglas, played by Michael Weston (not to be confused with Jeffrey Donovan’s character on Burn Notice, Michael Westen; follow along …) – where are you? You are missed! From the moment we met the P.I., posing as a toaster oven repairman in the doctor’s lounge in episode two, “Not Cancer,” he had a fun and unique personality.
