Season 8 keeps trying to push Dr. Park as the archetypal "unpopular girl" but, she is literally perfect in every single way. Straight up "Hollywood homely" bullshit that just pulls me right out of the show

The finale to season 7 was garbage, but season 8 is surprisingly solid (got like five episodes left lol). These last two seasons definitely feel like they're trying to recapture the feel of the early seasons. 4-6 were the peak of the series imo >_>

Cuddy must have been working some dark magic because canonically she has a dedicated "house malpractice" fund and comes in underbudget every year lmao

House is such a horrible doctor. Each week they only find out the deadly illness by putting the people thru a battery of test that would most likely kill them or make their quality of life washing they were dead.

I don't know why this was sticks out, but he induced a seizure in some guy who was standing up in a Hospital room. Like he has done worse stuff than that. But for some reason this one just sticks out the most as what the hell motherfucker.

Also I remember they brought in a new owner or a CEO and he was an asshole like house and fans hated him. And I was like this guy act like house. You just like house more.

I actually loved the Voegler arc specifically because House was equally the bad guy, and "defeating" him wasn't treated as a victory. That and the Tritter arc both did the same thing where "antagonist comes in, they're mostly right, but then the conflict escalates so that House and the hospital suffer disproportionately to the original offense". Tritter arc kinda dragged and felt forced, though.

But Voegler also represented the whole "capitalist-led medicine" thing that Americans are touchy about, so some of his antics probably struck a nerve <_<

Looking at the synopsis, I don't see Vogler in any way being a good guy. He made a big donation to the hospital and then demanded the hospital bend to his whims. His big issue with House wasn't that he did unethical things, it's that his cases didn't earn the hospital enough money. He forced Chase to spy on House under threat of being fired. He forced House to choose one of his subordinates to fire solely to be petty, refusing when they instead offered to all take a pay cut. He offered to let House keep everyone so long as House gave a speech about one of his new drugs which turned out to be a much more expensive version of a drug that he'd merely added antacid to.

Fits the role better than 90% of the other people they try to fit into that role. Basically just find a hot girl, put glasses on her and pretend she is a dork. Toss in that she knows of some comic book hero to confirm nerd.

I think the best seasons of House are the ones without a villain, where it's mostly just the team dealing with personal issues that thread in and out of specific cases. Season 4 and 5 are my favorites.

Didn't she want a raise and they wouldn't give it to her? IIRC, Fox progressively cut the show's budget, which is why House and friends increasingly seem to work in a hospital alone.

She's the "We can't afford Olivia Wilde" character. In Season 7 it was Masters but the show wrote her off just in time to bring in Wilde for the last handful of episodes.

It would have been perfectly fitting if that montage of House and Wilson at the end of the series had ended with the title character getting stabbed in the neck. Sociopaths should not be made into heroic figures but even with the examination of his flaws, that's exactly what the series did.

Sociopaths

House wasn't a sociopath, he was just bitter and abrasive. In the end, he definitely cared about people. He cared so much about Wilson that he torched his entire career and faked his death just to ensure he could spend time with his friend in the last months of Wilson's life. That's absolutely not sociopath behavior.

The exploding testicle was his hallucination while he was in a gunshot-induced coma.

Which, come to think of it, pretty sure that never actually went anywhere significant in any event. The shooter was just some random dude iirc and they just move past the whole ordeal outside some snarky references later. <_<

Yeah, it's actually an ending that represents a lot of growth for House. He's finally consciously and purposefully putting some one else first, albeit in the most melodramatically House way possible.

It's why I like the ending, its (many) shortcomings aside.

While I would not go as far as saying he needed to be stabbed. There is a huge issues with Jerk ass leads that just get away with too much because people think that they are cool.

It is so many character that are just assholes for no reason and somehow gets a away with it. Rick Sanchez is an example. The first Dr. House... Dr. Cox is another one. What so many people try to boil batman down into, while overlooking everything else. I Honestly don't get why people like these characters.

That one actually biased me against her a bit. Her initial reaction to the guy who refused thumb surgery really peeved me, as someone who's had to make the unfortunate decision between health and paying rent in the past. Never anything dramatic like losing a thumb, but still, on principal that just bugged me lol. >_>
