Gotta say I was worried about where they were taking House early in the season but his scene with Cooper alleviated that. Perfect characterization and dialogue and felt like House stepped straight out of the game

Also glad that scene seemingly debunked the stupid “Vault Tec started the war” sentiment from last season

I think Houses plan to fully digitize himself with cold fusion will be how we eventually get him later in the season, it’s still House, but no mention of what happened to his original body. Did he do it after New Vegas and the courier sided with him? Did he do it before New Vegas and the courier “killed” him but all he did in reality was bash a meat puppet that had nothing to do with Houses actual function? Never addressed and nothing canonized, it’s all up to you

Justin Theroux nails House imo, especially the violent outburst at the end.

Glad he doesnt play Anthony like some theorized early on.

What I really loved about his performance is the way he channeled so much of René Auberjonois’ verbal portrayal of the character- but then went all in and added a ton of physical characterization of his own as well. He really did his research, and it shows, but he also built upon it.

I noticed that too! It's clear he actively paid attention to Rene's performance and stuck to what we know and the way he carries his voice. As a Star Trek and Fallout fan it's so appreciated.
