Sort of how it was written from the start

Same, he was my favorite character by the end.

It didn't really feel right to me, it never seemed like he has much passion for medicine seen as his dad forced him into the field iirc, and he always seemed like he wanted to do things the easy way. Foreman felt like the more natural person to take House's role seen as the had been setting him for that from pretty early on. Chase in the ER made sense to me, or leaving medicine altogether to do competitive surfing

Rambi I mean with how opposed to his dad he was wouldn’t he have just gone into another field instead of continuing with medicine? To spite him at the very least? I never got an impression he wasn’t into medicine, afterall who would put up with house if they weren’t passionate abt medicine. It’s been a while since I binged the series for sure and I can totally back Forman as head of diagnostics but ig if we are considering filling roles foreman makes the most sense of any of them taking Cuddys role, since he expressed interest in that level of power. Chase taking diagnostics made sense to me after how he had changed over the series, alongside the fact that he was house’s first underling. Anyways idk I feel like if he wanted to do things the easy way why would he work for house?

@@notquinlynnie7705 I like Chase's overall ark, and it does make sense that Foreman would take the role just for the power and pay, but he just doesn't really seem natural for it, but he did seem natural for diagnostics seen as he showed many of the same personality traits as House. I guess I do think Chase is interested in medicine overall, I suppose seen as he's already put all the work into pursuing it as career, but I don't think diagnostics is really the right place for him and I just can't see him heading the department seen as was never the one butting heads with House. He was normally okay with going with House's theory and carrying out the treatment- what I mean is he didn't appear to be doing much of the whole "diagnostics" part, at least not as much as House and not as much as Foreman was interested in doing. As for who else should have taken Cuddy's role, I think James would have made the most sense seen as he had actually spent a long time heading a department already so had the experience. But I guess as the video talks abut, the lives and careers of the cast gets in the way of fulfilling these natural cross-season story arcs. The last seasons weren't too bad, though I unfortunately hated the two mentees in the final season, they were both just too annoying to me.

@@rambi1072 chase was opposing house less than everybody else but if u actually observe he was the only one trying to understand and learn how House thinks and he liked puzzles

Hands down.

When I did my first binge, I knew the ep was coming up and told a friend I needed to watch it with someone around.

This has always been cannon in my head.

What do you mean exactly? have only seen House on TV sorry.

House and thirteen was always my favorite dynamic. I always remembered 13 as a really strong independent character; Like if they did meet later in life it would be an unremarkable event in both of their lives. They both just seem bigger than each other in a way that makes their interactions interesting and mysterious. Olivia Wilde is talented af.

@@vanillaannihilation5871 the show ends with house faking his death Despite that, it's nice to think he'd still find 13 to kill her and fulfill his promise when she needed him

Thirteen was the only character who could pull off mysterious and deep on par with House or better; often better.

But I can assure that in season 1 you get hints that Chase does has the skills to fill the position of House. And, in season 3, in the last episode, he shows the same deductive habilites as House to read people (and these kind of scenes happened a lot). I think they knew that Chase would be his successor. Even the psychological part is on point: Chase's father was a conflicting figure and his mother was an addict. He could never make peace with that until he meets House: a conflicting and addict father figure that he learns to accept and even love. When House fakes an illness to get high, Chase is the only one that give him a hug. By being his successor, he overcomes his trauma with his father figure and he let himself be himself and not get push around.

@@elviejomundo2446 Good points.

I was so confused by why they killed him off. Interestingly they did a good job hinting at his depression, which I noticed on rewatches. I looked it up and I could never seem to find out why he actually left.

Agree, one of the best depictions of any medium

Yeah!I love and hate Kutner's death at the same time. On one hand,he is my favorite character so his sudden death make me kinda griefing for a bit. But on the other, his death done so well that it turn season 5 into my most favorite season

White Castle hamburgers. Little onions the burst flavor right into his flavor zone. That's why he left.

that episode gave me one of my favourite songs ever also

Katya Dokurova he’s a loser but he kicked formans butt at basketball.

Taub is like the sip of water between bites of food

Taub f**k up knocking up two people at the same time was the comic relief and a good climax. Loved it

He’s obviously not a loser…despite his “blah” appearance and small stature, he is shown time and time again at being capable of charming the ladies, was a very successful plastic surgeon, and managed to get on House’s team. There’s tons of other big wins for him on the show. His shortcoming is his inability to remain faithful, which normally wouldn’t be an issue for someone that looks like him.

@katya2451 *bland, not "blend?" 🤷‍♀️

Be Better.

Throwing tomato's at a billboard of himself was his redeeming quality.

@@Bonesph Classic Taub

He cried at the hospital after Kutner died, probably because he really saw him as a friend but denied it to his face some episodes before. I also loved his overall shamelessness but yeah, he was a pretty awful person.

Ikr? He's just such a scumbag hahaha.

For me he was the least interesting and most vanilla boring character, and I really wish they'd picked someone else. I always found myself skipping through the side stories involving him

To me Taub seemed very realistic character, other characters seemed sci fi Chase sexy surgeon, 13 sexy high iq bi doctor etc...

I've got a soft spot for Taub, too. He's just so loveable

Hated Taub at first but he grew on me when I remembered he is a plastic Surgeon, like hes not even in his lane so to speak and he's holding his own.

I personally dont care for Taub. The only one i might have hated more than him is/was Kutner. But hey, I'm glad u (and whoever else) likes/liked him. To each their own. I love when people love and/or are passionate bout someone/something. I wish everyone respected what everyone loves/likes, u kno what i mean? That's why I always say "to each their own"

Mmmhmmm

I liked chase tho lol

Her scenes with house were one of the biggest highlights of the show. Showing both sides, they were always able to see through each other's facades. A brilliant relationship and a great storyline

I hated Taub

Kutner was great too

Honestly i wished masters stayed, even after House gets out of prison. She was the complete opposite of House, even more than Cameron or Kutner. Like if instead of Parks, Masters, slightly more grown, but still naive as hell. Parks, was ok for what she was, but i despise her actor. Just this emotionless awkward and completely lacking of any real personality, who is always speaking in this god awful boring tone. This was the first time ive seen her in any show or movie, and ive seen her in a couple since, and shes exactly the same in each of them. I know im exaggerating a bit, but in a show with actors like Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein and Robert Sean Leonard, she sticks out like a sore thumb. She reminds me of foreman, kind of repressed but with something to stand for, but both have more of a smaller presence on the show but in a way almost more important than the other secondary characters, except when they have something to prove or are expressing their anger from their past. Parks more than Foreman in this regard. Except with foreman, they actually acknowledge this. They joke about how he's emotionless and repressed, making it seem real and normal. They do none of that with Parks. They don't try. Shes up there on a pedestal with basically nothing to show for it. Shes just so forgettable. Ive watch the last season at least 3 times, some episodes more, and i still forget her name. You could compare her to Adams, but Adams was more secondary to Parks, less important in the show. Which is probably why her issues aren't as bad as Parks. I just despise her, and i some of it is irrational but i know a lot of people agree with me.

Wait, what? Lol what do u mean u thought she was part the team? Have u not watched the show? Or not finished watchin it? Or havent seen it in a while? And also, why would u watch all these vids of ur behind and/or havent seen it? Just curious. I personally hate spoilers and hate spoiling people and hate watchin people be spoiled (even if they dont rly care lol, i do)

@@frankbarrie6785 I watched the show back when it first aired so.... more than a decade ago lol. I did rewatch the first 3 seasons over the years but the latter ones are a blur

@@frankbarrie6785 even with rewatches, it’s pretty easy to forget that amber wasnt apart of the team considering she was a big part of the show.

@@frankbarrie6785 she worked with the team a decent bit before she got fired. She kinda was part of the team for a hot minute

I’m already making grabby-hands at a Wilson-centric video.

@Alexander Supertramp The next video will be made specifically for you.

wilson is best boy

Going back to this comment, I'm honestly kinda disappointed on the Wilson front. Wilson himself and his character is almost never covered. His relationship with House is brought up in how he affects the show's structure and all that but it doesn't really go into the depths of it. Still a good series but I was hoping there'd be more to it.

Easily the best fellow in the show.

Was he not in SCRUBS ?

That's in scrubs

No, it was house. Hehad a janitor helping him when he was trying to insist to cuddy that he didn't need a team

The way they wrote it wasn't that she left him BECAUSE he killed him. It was because he didn't think he did anything wrong. He was horrified that he viewed cold blooded murder as not only justifiable, but the Right Thing To Do. And as a character who was born and raised on the moral high horse, and who ALSO struggled with the choice of killing the SAME PATIENT herself in that very episode and decided NOT to do it, it made sense for her to conclude that Chase was corrupted beyond salvage. I still think it was a mistake in how her character was handled, but it was a bit more nuanced than just leaving him cuz he killed a guy

@@randomfox12245 I know it wasn't the reason per se, I just tried to illustrate how rushed it felt to me when I watched it for the first time. She continously assured him that whatever happened she would support him, then still dropped him like hot potato after he came clean. Of course it was easy to say meaningless reassurences when she thought he was cheating on her. But it still would have been more justified if she at least tried to be true to her words. Moral high horse as you said. And it's not like Chase was a cold-blooded murderer. He obviously felt a tremendous amount of guilt over his actions. So snapping to the viewpoint that he is irredeamable so fast when she theoretically loved him was rushed and too drastic in my opinion. Seems like realistic breakups were not the strongest part of this show as House and Cuddy's was far from perfect too. But at least it mostly came from their preexisting relationship dinamics so it felt a little more realistic.

1st, when wife says that, no one's ever expecting a murder confession! Especially in this kinda way. 2nd I always understood that Cameron left chase because she still hadn't dealt with her past traumas and why she tended to marry/date those who she could fix. Chase stopped being broken and needing her, and she stopped wanting to be married.

Noone needed Taub, he was boring as hell. All he did was cheat. Amber would've been WAY more interesting!

​@@yannieangerer8558 *No one 🙂

It always is different when you or your loved ones are the dying or struggling patient.

Agreed. Wilson and House are like a marriage between coping mechanisms.

@@gauloiseguy Yes exactly! I hear people say 'why is Wilson friends with House when House is such an asshole' but they should be asking 'why is House friends with Wilson if Wilson's such a good guy'. They have their question backwards.:)

Well said.

I think you confused yourself in comparing "everybody dies" and "broken". Everybody dies is the happily ever after ending for house md because both house and wilson seem to be approaching the end of their lives (wilson-cancer/house-wilson's death+going back to jail) but house decides to throw all that away by "killing" himself and spending the last few months with wilson. "Everybody dies" msg is to try to aim for happiness but broken asks the viewer "when things go wrong, how are you supposed to deal with it?" At first, house was against the system but when he fk up freedom master,(he reinforced freedom master's Delusions which made him jump off a carpark) he saw how fk up himself was and ask for help. He talks to dr nolan and slowly gained a deep connection with Lydia but she leaves him(her friend got better). Older seasons of house would have taken Vicodin to numb the pain but instead finds dr nolan and talks to him and he feels. In the end, house walks out of Mayfield not because he has a happier life but instead because he has a healthier mindset Now i ask u which sounds more realistic: Everybody dies or broken

You elegantly put my feelings to word.

house is not er....

@@campkira House makes ER look like Sesame Street...

they did

I did like Amber as Wilson's girlfriend though. I wish they'd had more time together, but House's Head/Wilson's Heart are two of the best episodes of the show.

A Jew named Christopher. What were they thinking? Also his character was boring as all get-out

@@BG12sofia I'm not sure I've rewatched any sequence in House more often than the end of S4.

Masters was the most boring character

Eh, you could also argue that it would be unbalanced. Amber was too much like House. That's why it probably wouldn't have worked.

Ok but after season 5 its going downhill quickly

That entire situation is very strange. Foreman injected her because “either she’ll find it, Houses rat will find it, or the CDC autopsy that’s been delayed due to safety will find it” but then House ends up being the one to find the disease in the apartment not Cameron so what was the point infecting her, meanwhile she’s in the hospital (while infected yet not isolated) and is looking at the test results at the same time. I don’t think there’s any way of looking at the situation that makes sense.

Yea at the first season he was the most interesting character to me because he's the only one who actually stood up to House and acted upon it fully while being compared to House. Even when he injected Cameron with what he was infected and got cured (with the motor problems), I was really interested at where he would go because you have a character who is trying to show he is different to House while being just as capable yet is becoming more and more similar with his own motor problems and possibly a fractured relationship with the team but it literally lasts one episode before he's back to himself, but less interesting up to where I've watched so far.

If the point of her arc is that she loves broken characters, it's not bad that she's married. Why couldn't she learn?

Facundno Bueno I disagree.

It's just a pity that Morgan isn't as interesting to watch as Amber was.

And Cameron's as Dr. Browne. All of them are basically cheap imitations.

Yh part 5 is about love I think so makes sense

still 2 more... once u done.. you can skip the whole not medical part...

Yeah i found the series yesterday, what timing

I liked adams more

@@AverageAlien I had a crush on Adams.

@Alexander Supertramp yup, as a character she wasn't interesting.

Park is literally me(socially awkward and lives at home) I'm not ashamed to admit it, cost of living is expensive😆😆 but watching her be on the show gave us glasses wearing, sci fi loving, useless trivia loving geeks hope❤
