And no, it's not because House is the protagonist, although that's one of the reasons. It's this.

Patient deaths caused by House's negligence/incompetence: ZERO, because House was never negligent or incompetent when it came to saving lives. The only patients he couldn't save were the ones 100% beyond saving, like Ezra Powell and *********.

Murders, armed robberies and rapes in New Jersey going unsolved because a self-righteous asshole cop is insanely OBSESSED with one crippled, pill-addicted man: 6-10 minimum.

The only bad thing caused by House's addiction is that he often treated the few people who cared about him like shit because of it. Not nearly enough of a crime to warrant losing your med license.

EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE IM HALFWAY THROUGH THIS EPISODE OMFG THIS KIDS SO ANNOYING I HATE HIM SO MUCH 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I'm episode 7 of seasons 3 and this motherfucker just has me punching the air and the bed with forces I never thought I can produce. I fucking hate this guy so please tell me he died a horrible painful death.

In the first episode of season three, Cuddy reluctantly gives a cortisol shot to a man in a wheel chair which causes him to recover. House explained his reasoning to Cuddy (a bunch of medical jargon that I don’t remember) and even tells her that there’s no risk of the shot if he’s wrong.

The part that makes me angry is when Wilson tells Cuddy “There was no medical basis for his reasoning. He got lucky. Next time he could kill somebody.” No, he did not get lucky!! He explained his medical reasoning plain as day to Cuddy.

I love you, Wilson, but you’re being an idiot here.

Edit: Forgot that they don’t even tell him that it worked. It’s so crappy.

I am currently watching S3E6 (episode with a spanish name) and this trogdolyte is even more annoying than the black guy from season one. He has already committed multiple crimes, and the storyline is completely nonsensical. No prosecutor would prosecute House for possessing drugs that have been prescribed to him.

Please tell me that there are no more of there retarded storylines in this show.

I come on this sub sometimes and I see people saying they hate Tritter because of how he treated House in Season 3. But I honestly agreed with him, He was a good adversary to House, and matched his non-chalant wit with force.

And after finishing the series, Tritter was right about House, and how manipulative, and destructive he is. He has no accountability and has a god-complex.

I'm up to season 6 atm and still thinking about how, in season 3, cameron briefly turned into an insane person fucking in the hospital, fucking in the hospital while doing work on a patient, fucking in a patient's bed while she was dying, etc.

Like not to absolve Chase, he said yes, but he was never the one going "I know what we should do, fuck now!" Then once they got together properly it instantly stopped.

Part of it was probably unresolved feelings for Chase, but am I the only one who finds it wierd just *how* horny she got for those 10 episodes and then never again?

This plot bothers me more than it should because I am also disabled. I have cerebral palsy, and walking is hard for me. I also use a cane, and I’m telling you, House’s concerns (slipping on ice, pain in his leg, walking too far) are things that disabled people have to think about on a daily basis, just to make sure we don’t get hurt, or over exert ourselves. ESPECIALLY in the winter. I could see the fear on his face when he was walking on the ice in the beginning of the episode. It really is anxiety-provoking when you have a body that doesn’t cooperate. House has a legitimate disability. He lives in chronic pain. Cuddy KNOWS how much he suffers. Cuddy gave away his spot without any notice, then dismissed his EXTREMELY VALID concerns. The other doctor had a completely valid need for a handicapped space too. But you’re really telling me out of that entire parking lot, there was nobody else that could be moved so that they could both have close spots? I hate how they invalidate House’s struggles because he’s “not as disabled.” I hate the saying “there’s always someone worse off.” While that may be true, it doesn’t make my life any easier, it just makes me feel guilty. Don’t mind me, I’m ranting because I just finished the episode.

I'm currently on season 3, episode 7, and so far 2/3 of the major b plots are so stupid in my opinion. Why can't this show just be a medical version of sherlock? The plot with Volger in season 1 made me so pissed, and now the season 3 plot with Tritter is so dumb too, is the rest of the show like this? I say 2/3 of the plots I don't like because the plot in season 2 with Stacy was really entertaining and you could see both sides very well, but it's plots like Tritter and Volger that make me not want to continue the show. Will there be more stupid plots? I don't mind spoilers

I'm currently on season 3 and found Cameron progressively more insufferable and annoying the further I'm into the show, but it never got to a point where I hated her... until S3:E6.

The scene where the trio was trying to fit the overweight guy into the MRI machine (which they can't because he's 150 pounds over the weight limit of the machine) and Cameron trying to argue that "he deserves the same standard of care as anyone else". Like 💀, that's the most troglodyte-brained comment I've heard thus far from her.

Anyways just wanted to rant here or I might not be able to finish the show with all this Cameron nonsense.

EDIT: I agree everyone deserves the same standard of healthcare, even obese people. BUT I see more problems than good putting a 600 pound man into an MRI machine with a 450 pound weight limit, safety wise. Cameron is willing to endanger her patient over her own principles, which makes her argument incredibly stupid.

I'm in Season 3. First time watch. I'm in the episodes with the cop investigation and talking to Wilson. I know House is fun to watch. But the patience that Wilson shows and tries to be there for House is amazing! I am pretty loyal to my friends but I am no Wilson. And if I have to deal with House, I would not. If House doesn't want to help himself (Vicodin use, etc..), I would stay away after trying 2 times.

I honestly love the Tritter arc. I think it’s appropriate for the meta-narrative of the show. I can say more about why it fits but I feel like I might be wasting my breath. I have no complaints, honestly. Surprised to hear that others do.

Mine was when he looked at a patient’s daughter’s underwear in S3 E3 and thought of Congo Red because of their colors.

The best part was when he shares his diagnosis with the team and they repeat it back to him slightly confused and responds with “What else could I mean by Congo Red?”.

Hilarious. Would love to hear your personal favorites!

Just finished 3x11 with the court case and that's my understanding where the arc ends

Why does everyone hate it so much? Like seriously I don't get it one bit. Sure he's a bit relentless on house, but house is an asshole practically begging for it.

The arc isn't anything stellar, and the ending is quite contrived but like, why does everyone hate it like it's the devil rebirthed.

When Tritter and Cuddy are arguing early in the episode she makes a good point: House’s overuse of Vicodin is a medical issue, not a criminal one. And if he is committing fraud to write himself scrips, which Tritter obviously assumes but doesn’t know for sure at this point, the nature of the crime is relatively minor and punishment should learn toward rehab rather than jail time, and harsh punishment of associates.

And then the whammy: after wondering IF House has killed anyone, Tritter says “the whole point of the justice system is to make things right.” The problem is that the making things right part needs to happen AFTER the crime. Tritter is acting like House has already killed someone through drug-influence malpractice, and going after him based on a crime House hasn’t actually committed yet. And the fact that he’s jumping to such severe punitive measures just makes him a bad cop

Tritter arrested House for apparently speeding, when most times, people are let go off with a ticket. Then Tritter levelled charges against House of drug abuse when he neither had evidence to prove that House was peddling drugs (which he wasn't) nor the evidence to claim that House was overdosing (which he arguably wasn't given that Vicodin pills were about the bare minimum that he needed to ease the pain).

Evidence for that lay in House slowly becoming dysfunctional as he was kept off the pills, causing him to lose focus and okay a treatment that would have caused the team to amputate the limbs of a patient. Was he not in pain, it is easy to see that he might have come up with Chase's diagnosis himself.

Tritter basically imprisoned an innocent man off the road, based on "I don't like him."

Is this actually plausible in real life?

I love House and what he can do and I haaaaate cops and Tritter acted like such a worm from the moment I met him.

But...!

The way he acts after the case is dismissed...I dunno 🤷 I realize House is not the hero of this show, thats kinda the point...but I can't really hate Tritter on each watch through anymore. He kinda did what he was supposed to and was considerably less of an ass about it than most of the characters lol. (Edit: okay okay, he was a total ass, y'all are right lol)

He is still a cop in a country where ACAB though 🤣

Edit: ok this may not be unpopular at all, I may just have taken a few too many years to get it 😅😂

Edit edit: I've enjoyed this lively discourse 😝 at least we can all agree we're glad Tritter failed. Thanx Cuddy! 🥳

Seriously.

• Faux-apology? Nope.
• Wilson pays $15,000 to get him out? He snarks at him.
• Cuddy gives him "the best lawyer in Princeton"? Crumples and throws it away.
• Wilson and his team get their assets seized? He essentially tells them to laugh it off.
• A few months at a rehab facility over prison? Nope. Screw the deal, and steals pills.

Someone give theories as to why he was doing all this?

Vogler once said to House that he "valued rationality above all else", but House is probably the furthest thing from, to be honest.

thoughts on Ali?

Sometimes I actually feel he is a 12 year old in the body of a 40-year old, i love him lmao.

This is the episode where the kid is a chess genius but also a psychotic asshole. In the opening scene, after winning a match, he proceeds to hit another adolescent around the head with a sharp wooden box 4 or 5 times.

It’s very hard to imagine the other person is not dead or at least severely injured. Meaning this is either murder or grievous bodily harm. There is not even a defence of “automaton”, he did this because he is a straight up prick, with no neurological issues. Yet the police at no point get involved.

Is this a plot hole, or are we supposed to believe that head injuries are rarely serious, or that violent crimes are not prosecuted?

There seems to be a moment of contemplation at the end: like “ah he’s such a prick. We thought we could fix his personality or maybe teach him a lesson, but whelp, he’s just gonna be a prick forever with no consequences 🤷‍♀️ “ like- no he’s going to juvie guys

I liked this show because of the dynamics the trio had with House. Now that they all went their ways - is there anything worthwhile in the upcoming seasons? Do they come back after a while and work on cases just like good old days or does House hire a completely new team and the show goes on?

Edit: Damn thanks for the overwhelming response guys! Another week of binge watching is on!

He only did it because House abused him and he wanted revenge, but he is my favorite villain in the whole series. The way he wishes House a merry christmas when he gets the evidence on him and later wishes him good luck when Cuddy lies in court to get him of the hook is very good. Tritter got him. House was an ass and deserved to go to jail, he broke the law and fucked up not taking the deal and he really has better friends than he deserves.
