he still has a backstory that is about a million times more interesting than either of the other two peons
Oh, totally! Which is why he's (though slowly!) regaining those points, where as Cameron and Foreman just. Really do nothing for me. [g] And yes, sweater vests and floppy hair are nice! ;D

when he wants to be House so bad it hurts
Oh dude, he really does, doesn't he? But I don't even see that as interesting. It's just kind of lame to me, because that's not who Foreman is at all. Only House is House, and that's really how it should be. Any other attempts are just lame, man. [g]
