#and it doesnt feel invasive or tricksy it all feels like its coming from a place of sincerity and curiosity

i truly hate that house s1 e21 is one of the best episodes of television i have ever seen
#thunder watches house md#like the format... the slow reveal.... the way it shifts between the students being grilled by house/interacting with the moral dilemma#and cameron/foreman/wilson using the setup of the lecture to indirectly ask house about his chronic pain#and it doesnt feel invasive or tricksy it all feels like its coming from a place of sincerity and curiosity#and attachment to house#and you know from episode 1 that house's chronic pain was caused by late-diagnosed muscle death#but to actually see it play out as he tries to anticipate his own symptoms and advocate his own autonomy as he refuses the amputation#its just. god ive rarely ever seen something so emotionally complex#like the entire crux of the episode is that there is no easy way to diagnose correctly 100% of the time#which. is a wider theme of the show but it has particular focus in this episode#and the decision to 1) show how house developed his chronic pain in that episode and 2) place that episode at the end of the season#when we've seen the character relationships develop enough that the emotional thread of the episode is just that more visceral#AND it's the first episode where stacy shows up#god it's just genius. good asfuck TV. but i resent it also because its house md and sometimes house md sucks complete balls
