okay so when you watch hate crimes md focusing predominantly on wilson it opens up a whole new... idk about calling it a new lens to view the show but i find it fucking captivating that he is just Not A Good Person but he is very good at putting on that facade and seems to be aware that he's a really shitty person. and the show both highlights it and pulls its punches about it in early seasons. it's fascinating!

and like. house md is not a subtly-written show. i wasn't in the fandom when i was watching live and i don't know a lot of the bts stuff but i have to wonder how much of that came from the writers vs RSL. like he has such a pleasant manner and cancer patients thank him for their diagnoses and then under all that is this absolutely deplorable and selfish person. he will just do something terrible and it never feels random or out of character. outstanding. love it.

#this rewatch is so interesting bc it's not that i've never given thought to wilson! but i didn't focus so much on him so much before #i always forget that he literally just blows off his wife on xmas to hang out with house. the case is solved! it wasn't even his case!#it's not like it's 3am or anything! he just consistently blows off his wife and hides behind 'she's used to it bc i'm a doctor'#and the constantly implied affairs that he denies in s1/2 but also writers seem to not want to touch that is just alsjfdjkf #the ''you'd be surprised what you can live with'' of it all #he sleeps with a patient and *moves in with her* ... is house *really* the most morally questionable character?#bc wilson is pretty fucking morally bankrupt and i love that for him #like tbh house and wilson deserve each other and it's a net win if they get together remove each other from the dating pool #james wilson #hate crimes md
