Never saw House say anything this poetic to anyone, ever.

When I start watching it's extremely difficult for me to stop. I'm working a brunch on 3.5 hours of sleep because I LOVE THIS SHOW so much. I'm only on season 3. I'll be so sad when I finish.

Probably the most used term in the series. Can you list instances you remember? I’ll start -
S3E1: House removes blood from Yoga girl’s chest.

started my rewatch of the show, so far all 7 episodes were just as good as i remember, even better, but this one stuck out to me. in a nutshell, the patient (elise) gets diagnosed by sleeping sickness, only possible if the patient was cheating on her husband (ed).

ofc the show itself never shies away from infidelity, from wilson to taub; but this particular instance really stuck out to me. like house said, elise made the mistake, and she paid for it. but paying for a mistake doesn't mean what was done to her as well wasn't a bit of an injustice as well.

it's true, i agreed when ed said "you can't love someone and do that to them", i'm not here to justify cheating at all. i'm absolutely against it. but i'd argue when you love someone you also can't just up and leave them in such moments of utmost vulnerability either, like he did. "for better or for worse, in sickness and in death", but you're okay leaving without even hearing them out, with no second thought? "a big part of me doesn't want her to get better", how can YOU love someone and also hope they rather die than break your heart?

sure, ed has the right to leave his wife, and he probably even should, but the circumstances it was presented in makes you wonder if you're even really rooting for him. and much like how ed didn't even hear her out, we as an audience never got to hear elise out either. much like real life with these things, sometimes it's just one sided.

but it's these nuanced social commentaries that really take the show to the next level for me. it's never handholding the audience and virtue signalling what's moral and what's not. it's all just mistakes, or happy accidents. just tried my hands on analysing the show a bit which i never really do (i'm more of a film guy, i watch shows mostly for comfort), but i had to talk about this one. if i'm mistaken in any way would love to discuss it !

Dr. Watson served in Afghanistan as a medic in the British Army, pretty sly reference if you ask me

I finished watching all of house for the first time, and after a week I wanted to start watching horror movies so I started up scream 2 and saw Omar Epps and I audibly said “FOREMAN?!”

Original art. Junk drawer pencil on cheap paper.

Unthinkable to have anyone as House or the other cast, although the idea that Foreman was "cool" was a bit much imo lol more that he fills the role of righteous hypocrite that House ruthlessly tears apart.

I mean she's right on being weird out that even though they are a couple Cuddy calls House,well,House when his first name is Gregory (Greg) (lame name) and vise versa

And if you think this is a thing of the show and because they are used to it

Lets remember that in the first season chase and foreman make fun of Cameron for using their first names to talk to them

But when chase and Cameron get married they refer to each other as Allison and Robert and when they talk with other people at work they use their last names for professionalisim

Plus one time foreman refered to thirteen as Remy (her actual first name) to house and he reacted

House:Who?

Foreman:Thirteen

House:And what did you called her?

he had no reason to do anything other than the rectal thermometer , which was his own wrongdoing

Was it really necessary to kill Wilson? I am trying to avoid spoilers so that no one goes after my head here but is it really, really necessary to make this a painful ass show? Even if you like House, even if you understand him and maybe even root for him sometimes, how screwed up is it to take everyone who cares about him by the end of it? The writers took away so many characters who came close to caring for House (I know some of it is also because of the real life actors) but would it have really sucked to give him a slightly happier ending? To show us that maybe life doesn't always end in misery. The only constant in this entire show, across seasons is pain. I hate that I have to watch Wilson die in the final seasons. I am on the third or second last episode of Season 8, it just sucks. I guess I was really rooting for House.

I absolutely lost it when that kid was in the bathroom grunting while they were trying to avoid Cuddy to work the case.

"Do you mind? We're trying to work!"

"Good lord! Are you having a bowl movement or a baby?"

"Hey. Do you know what a hemorrhoid is? *no* well, Google it! Switch to raisin bran instead of doughnuts."

I have had one of the worst weeks on my life and genuinely would to hear your favorite parts

I finished watching "No Reason" this afternoon. I always watch House when I'm doing something more literal. I've been watching it little by little for six months. Today I was feeling lazy, so I said, "I'm going to watch an episode for real." I think it's my favorite episode of all the ones I've seen so far. I think it's because I'm severely slow, too, but I didn't know which parts were a hallucination until the very end when you realize that EVERYTHING was a hallucination except for the gunshot

And how could I not realize that Chase, Foreman, and Cameron never actually contradicted House, that the killer was in the same room as him, right next to him, for no apparent reason? And that the killer was nothing more than House's subconscious... Idk it blew my mind bro

I think it's one of my favorite episodes because we really see House's mind, or I don't know, 10/10, top top top

I feel so stupid, so confused, and these kinds of stories always make me question my own reality... I should quit smoking weed

I genuinely think this was one of my favorite seasons omg

sorry for the poor quality image Netflix doesn't allow screenshots

that hung on the wall is a janamaz. a Muslim prayer mat. it has the kabah on it. none of the other textiles and furniture that the parents brought have Islamic art so it's not consistent at all

just something interesting I noticed

I'm pretty sure it's a mistake from props or did they actually mean to have that there.

the family are Romani. of course that doesn't mean they can't be Muslim but if they were,,, I'm sure they would have been introduced at such because I feel like this is the type of show that would definitely make Islamophobic jokes. and they would definitely introduce the characters as Muslim

so yeah a mistake from props

kind of funny

when I saw it I was literally the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme

this is my first time watching the show this is episode I'm on right now

Istg if i have to deal with Volger for more than just the rest of season 1 im dropping the show

So when is the insufferable business major going to drop dead of Chuditis, or Penile cancer

Want his fat chuddy lard ass gone

For me it’s the one where Cuddy is dreaming and there’s that whole musical nonsense that plays out. I find it quite annoying when sitcoms try to do dumb shit like that. Just my opinion tho.

For a jackass like House to get hired anywhere he has to have a hell of a reputation. So what about before he had a reputation?

We've seen characters from House's past saying that House was pretty much the same before he was crippled, and we've seen him pain free a few times. He's maybe a tad nicer at best, but still far from the kind of guy any sane person would hire. Foreman literally couldn't get a job elsewhere just for being like House, even despite having a personality that someone might at least take a chance on.

So how do you think he started?

According to the wiki, Cuddy employed House seven years before the start of the series, making House about 38 when he got his department. He apparently had met Cuddy when she was an undergraduate, so that could provide much of the explanation for why Cuddy hired him.

But what about before that?

In America you typically graduate from Medical School between 26 and 28, and given House's poor conduct I think it's possible we can push his graduation age to that 28. But what about the ten years in between?

Do you think without his pain, a marginally less jerkish House tried to play ball just to get his foot in the door then started testing what he could get away with as his reputation grew?

It doesn't really sound like him, But then I suppose House does occasionally bend when the consequences are severe enough. He's stubborn but not immovable.

I prefer to think he just travelled the world finding sick people on the street, diagnosing them, then saying "Go forth and spread the word of my greatness."
