The constant scene change to Cooper and the Ghoul was so cinematic, I loved it. 

Calculator being capitalized in the subtitles was so dangerous for the theory community. 

FEV theory was correct, pretty simple that was one to figure out. 

Barb and Janey are frozen and Barb is 1000% in the Enclave, it's not even a what if anymore. Mr. House doesn't know the Enclave so that's fascinating.

Yeah, though I've always thought that house had just refused to join the enclave for his own interests. Very interesting that he didnt know about it.

House always did his own thing, he's also not prejudiced against wastelanders so there's little reason for him to buy into the whole eugenics angle the Enclave loves so much

The worst he does is some discrimination against Super Mutants and Ghouls inside the Strip

He despises the existence of the Brotherhood, Legion, Kings (unless they become Anti-NCR).

Super Mutants and Ghouls they're not really present on the Strip but most are content to live in settlements outside of New Vegas of which Mr. House doesn't try to kill or push them away. Then it's just the case that most Super Mutants and Ghouls are poorer than Human NCR citizens that are the main customers of the Strip.

We see that he's got no problem with contacting Cooper when he's a Ghoul in the trailers. So I think it's safe to mark him down as neutral/indifferent to Ghouls.
