Is Foreman the new House?
Sep 29 2009, 11:12 AM EDT | Post edited: Sep 29 2009, 11:12 AM EDT
Do you think Foreman has what it takes to do the job? Will he give House a hard time when House wants back in? Do you find this valuable?

"Do you think Foreman has what it takes to do the job? Will he give House a hard time when House wants back in? "
No, his course of treatment would have killed his first patient if House had not posted the diagnosis on the internet and thirteen stopped the chemo. Who knows with the current state of the show. Poor writing, poor producing and unreal situations being presented now and in future episodes.

I was amazed that he fired Thirteen! Just because she went behind his back...she saved the guy and how did Cuddy not know that? And she hired him on? I did have to laugh when Cuddy told Foreman to at least wait until House reached the lobby before he tried to get House's job. It's a typical Foreman move.... 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I think that Foreman doesnt have what it takes to replace House. In this episode Foreman was still unable to solve the diagnosis before House.I think House will always be needed to help solve medical mysteries, he cant be replaced by foreman. Even though i think that Foreman will try to give House a hard time now that he's boss, hopefully House will be able to get his job back from Foreman. Do you find this valuable?

Think about all the times someone has gone behind House's back. After years of being with the team he fired some, but not on the first week on the job. Do you find this valuable?

Foreman questioned himself, which means he isn't ready for the job. He's been arrogant all along to make him THINK he's House but when push comes to shove, he isn't. And how does he expect to proceed when Taub left because of him and he fired his own girlfriend? Everyone, including Foreman, went behind House's back, mostly Foreman, and he never fired them.... Foreman's ego is bigger than his medical knowledge. Thirteen saved that man and he should have left it alone. He also acted like House - how does he expect everyone else to just change overnight? Foreman has bigger expectations than he can handle for himself and everyone else. I can't wait until House is back! Do you find this valuable?

Of course he isn't ready for the job. He never will be. He just doesn't have what it takes to step in House's shoes. House and Thirteen both saved the man if you think about it, because House wrote that email to the symptom's the patient had posted online.

I can't wait for House to be back either.

Foreman came up with the correct diagnosis, I don't know why everyone is forgetting that. He even had one of those "Ah-ha!" moments after his shower. 13 didn't come up with the diagnosis, she read House's internet post. I'm not saying Foreman is the new House, oh please, no. But he's a neurologist, not a diagnostician with the degrees House has and the years of experience.
I guess what I *am* saying is Dang....y'all...hate on Foreman if you want, but the fact of that episode is that House figured it out, then Foreman did. 13 read it off the internet and stopped the treatment what? 3 seconds before Foreman got there to tell her what was wrong with the patient.

She had already stopped the treatment! Not because Boreman told her not to.
We "Hate " on Boreman because he is arrogant and obnoxious. House is allowed to be anything because HE is HOUSE.. Boreman needs to return to his place along side of the others NOT HOUSE'S replacement.

He came up with the correct diagnosis after ordering treatment for the wrong diagnosis. The course of treatment, if given, would have most certainly killed the man. Thirteen stopped only after House got the diagnosis correct the first time and emailing it to the patients computer. This show is not built around Boreman being in charge, it is House and Boreman will never match wits with him. The things Boreman did to Cameron and during his trials of Huntingdon's disease are proof enough of poor character and poor judgement along with his latest potential disaster.
It wasn't three seconds, she was putting away the chemo completely, we don't know know how much time elapsed except the time of the misdiagnosis. Foreman should be fired not Thirteen and I don't like her either.

I think that 13 went to House telling him about the offer on the internet, not about her problem with Foreman, knowing House wouldn't be able to resist. That is why she asked Foreman if he wanted to check the responses from the internet. When he said no, she went and checked them, knowing that House would have responded,

Why is everyone so upset Foreman led the team for 1 episode? One of the best parts of the show is that House always reminds Foreman that he is not as good as House. Besides, this isn't "Friends" or some lame situational comedy where every character is likable. Plot development people! How many times will House remind Foreman he wasn't able to solve this case. Priceless. Remember, House missed 2 cases before last season ended. He didn't solve the bachelor party episode or the episode with the dancer. Do you find this valuable?

I agree, Foreman can't and shouldn't replace House. And sure, she stopped the treatment, because she got the right answer off the internet. But say House *hadn't* posted the correct diagnosis...she'd have given him the chemo, and Foreman DID come up with the correct answer and ran in to stop the treatment....
JUST LIKE HOUSE HAS A MILLION TIMES on the show before.
I know I'm going to catch a ration of sh*t for the above sentence but that doesn't make it any less true. Foreman can never take House's place, because DUH, the show is called HOUSE not Foreman.

That sounds like every single episode of House, MD.
Apparently my sentence ...."I'm not saying Foreman is the new House, oh please, no."...just didn't get read. What I AM saying is that based on the *episode* House got it right, then Foreman got it right, based on his knowledge and instincts...eventually, just like always happens on this show. 13 copied off House, essentially, and even that's fine; hell, my doctor looks up stuff on the internet sometimes when diagnosing me. But pretending Foreman's ah-ha! moment didn't happen didn't happen, that he didn't solve the case on his own, just because some of you don't like the character, is...just...wrong, IMO. It's ignoring the facts of the show. I never said he wasn't a douche bag, but this isn't the I Hate Foreman thread, I thought?

So the fact that Foreman stole a thesis from Cameron and manipulated a clinical trial on a death sentence disease should make us all warm and fuzzy toward Boreman when he is given a leadership role that he can't handle. There are reasons by example that Boreman doesn't deserve even one episode of leadership. Moral reasons. I'm not picking on you, this show is almost over for me after watching every episode. I really couldn't care less how stupid they make this show look but Boreman is yet another fine move that takes this show over the cliff of stupidity.

*grin*
Nope. I don't think I ever said that. I never said I liked Foreman OR that he should have House's job even for 1 show.
I know you're pissed at the show, and the producers, and why, and I don't blame you. I was simply commenting on this thread about this topic and the facts of the episode. I know you're not pickin' on me. 'S all good with me.
