House, an acerbic infectious disease specialist, solves medical puzzles with the help of a team of young diagnosticians. Flawless instincts and unconventional thinking help earn House great respect, despite his brutal honesty and antisocial tendencies.
This long-running medical drama follows the professional and personal life of Gregory House- a witty, arrogant, rule-breaking, self-destructive, pain-pill addicted but genius diagnostician at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. House and his team of doctors work against the clock to diagnose and treat patients when other doctors can't seem to figure out what's wrong with them, often resorting to unorthodox methods based on House's hunches on the patients, their families, or his own personal experiences.

The Oompa Loompa episode
I keep seeing the sailor song animation memes so here is my house themed entry.
Got nostalgic, decided to start the series again. 5 and a half minutes into episode 1- Wilson looks so young! And ..thin?? The camera is so whimsical! The transitions are so serious.
Ha, just things you forget.
S3 E19
Or at least that the ending we got--House with Wilson--was always the ending that made the most sense narratively (regardless of any real-life cast issues). I've seen people say that House ended up with Wilson because Cuddy left him or because there was no one else who would tolerate House, but Wilson is always House's constant (and vice versa) throughout the show. The first time we see House, he's with Wilson; he's doing something for Wilson. In the pilot, we see Wilson humanize House by saying that he knows, based on House's actions, that House cares about him. We see that when Wilson's marriage fails apart, yet again, he goes straight to House. We see House risk his life to try to save Amber so Wilson won't hurt. We see that Wilson is unable to move on from House, even when he tries to leave PPTH to get away from him, because House, despite all his flaws, makes him happy. We see Wilson and House try to protect each other, again and again, so they won't get by grief, by girlfriends, by wives, by patients, by friends. We see House say that he knows, in the long view, that it will always be him and Wilson together in the end. And we see that, again and again, it always House who is there for Wilson and Wilson who is there for House. And the show ends both differently (House chooses Wilson over himself and over medicine; Wilson is the sick one) and the same (House is doing something to help Wilson) as it started. It feels like such a full-circle ending that really stuck the landing.
I absolutely loved seeing a less cynical and more whimsical version of the PPTH. The team making comments about screws and tennis and showers as if it's supposed to mean anything to the rest of the world is just hilarious. And Wilsons' smirk in the final shot was EVERYTHING. I hope there will be more like this in the later seasons, also I am absolutely ready for my next Scrubs binge.
Edit: ok I spent 10 minutes on r/okbuddyvicodin im over it now
I just spent the last 20 days binging house MD, going in completely blind. The YouTube shorts finally got to me and I figured I’d check it out to see if I liked it. I just marathoned the last five episodes in one sitting.
How do I go on. Wilson was my favorite character. I’ve been bawling my eyes out since episode 19. I don’t think I can ever watch the show again knowing how it ends.
I was mourning the loss of the show before I’d even finished season two, but Jesus Christ, I am actually MOURNING now. How do I go about my day today without crying over two fictional characters in a fictional situation riding off into a fictional sunset. Why did my comedy turn into a tragedy.
Why did I do this to myself. I can’t even go on AO3 and pretend it didn’t happen. Wish they at least wrote it terribly so I could be upset that it sucked instead of upset that it was as bittersweet as it was intended to be.
I’m probably just going to pretend the last season never happened, but god damn. The ending.
In season 4 episode 15 houses head, yk the episode, amber is secretly the patient but house can't remember, in it house undergoes hypnosis by chase, in the middle of it how imagines amber but brushes her off quickly after chase tells him to ignore Amber, in that moment did he further delay the realization the patient was amber? Cuz we only see the black haired stand in for amber after the hypnosis
I know he is a genius and cares, but what strong man kicks someone who is already down ? throughout the series we have seen how house carelessly insults people and males fun of people being stupid. But always all of the time these people are either not relevant to the story, very submersive, cognitively or physically impaired.
When faced with strong people like Michelle Trotter and Edward vogler his ego is crumbled like biscuit and he can not in any scenario face these characters without help of pathetic people like cuddy and Wilson.
Crime's of Cuddy and Wilson
The only reason and justification that Cuddy and Wilson save house is because he saves life, if this was not the case no body would care to even look at him, that's why he is scared of getting ride of vicodin he is not afraid of losing his edge he is afraid of losing Cuddy and Wilson, (his only protector and friends)
And I think writer of this show know this and they tried very hard to hide this very fact.
Cuddy's crime are to enable house and disable the institutions and judiciary system to punish house on the right time.
Wilson's crime: throughout the series willson has shown to be a pathetic optimist, but why is he so ? Because is the only one in The world who actually cares and about house ? Or is it because he tries to be happy while be friends with house (which to me seems impossible !).
His crime enabling house and feeding his addiction. He always fixed house's symptoms never handed route cause of his psychological disturbance.
Why house is so week ?
Because of his very father, i think what house was is never related to anything about his pain but rather it's about his childhood trauma specifically because of trauma inherited by his narcissist father from house's grandfather (fan fiction: if House's grandfather served in military in WW 2 if would make the most sence).
Is he courageous/strong to go out of norms ?
In his personal life he only goes against norms that cause distribution to himself and closest to him, that is exactly what criminals do (with no exaggeration house is one).
Sure when he goes outside of norma that helps people and saves life he is recognised as a good force, but he does that only while treating people which is the only reason strong character like cuddy puts up with him.
What do you think?
Recently started rewarding House, and of all the episodes with Kutner in them House maybe pushes his buttons once. House does this to everyone he works with. He looks into their personal life, asks them inappropriate questions, and in general pushes people's buttons. But he never does this with Kutner, why?
How I miss that time... [S1/EP14]
jacks little cosplay was amazing 🤤🤤
In the later seasons i noticed how House stops noting down stuff on the whiteboard. Like earlier House systematically shot down possible ideas on the board and wrote new ones. Why did he stop
Pretty much self explanatory. I really can't stand her, weak actor, seems like the writers needed someone to express the patriotic beloved of an American, but chose an Asian 🥲.
Just finished s 6 e 15 , on my first watch of the show and taub such a hypocrite and ass . He asks his wife to "marry" him again and literally had a affair with a nurse . I literally saw him pulling the ring and I thought oh well finally an end to his arc of cheating but nope no he just had to lie to his wife and keep it up . Like if you have a habit of not staying with a partner for long then either don't get married or get divorced dude .
Fuck Taub

Well, I just finished s4 guys, I am devastated.
Those last two episodes were a whole ass rollercoaster, seeing Wilson break down like that in Cuddy's arms was very upsetting :/ I saw everything coming(I mean, why else would Amber's suddenly be relevant in previous episodes only to disappear in the second to last one yk?), but still, watching it play out hurt.
Hoping Wilson doesn't blame House too much but I can see why he would. Though I'm guessing Wilson won't blame House, from what I know about his character he might try to avoid/leave the situation? I'm sure being around House wouldn't help because naturally part of him would want to blame House but ultimately it wasn't his fault. He didn't know the accident was gonna happen, he didn't intend on Amber following him onto the bus. It was just such bad timing really. And since Wilson is a mature adult I'm sure he'll understand that, I can't blame him if he wants to leave though. I know I would. Anyways that's the end of my rant, just wanted to ramble about my thoughts somewhere!!
I did this for my art class lol
For me it was Chase doing a rotation in Melbourne for Hypnosis lol
I'm genuinely upset. The show might have his name but it's not only about him, it's about their dynamic as a group. I've started watching season 4 but if the band doesn't get together in the next few episodes I don't think I'll continue to watch
