@@Sheenifier I think there's a lot of shakeups in this. House is the one walking with a cane for instance. But Wilson and House do live together at 221B (for a while), and he very often is the one who helps House with the human angle. And there's the name. The staff are sometimes Watson and sometimes an extension of Holmes. In one episode Wilson is Irene Adler. Cuddy is like a Mycroft/Lestrade mix. In conclusion, don't think too hard about it.
Chase offering to pray with her is even sweeter when you see, throughout the episode and throughout the rest of the series, how much he struggles with his faith, and how he's completely abandoned it by the end. Chase's recurring crises of faith were few and far between, but they were some of the best character beats he, or any of them, ever got.
Completely agree. Nearing the end of the series, in S8E12 “Chase”, there’s a somewhat similar situation between him and a nun, and by the end of the episode there was such an amazing building of character not only because of his faith, but also in a broader sense because he stops to think about what makes him truly happy. Easily my favorite character in the entire series
@@brandonl6210 He tells Moira in "Chase"(S8) that "I always wanted to believe. It would've made my life a lot easier...It never took." And he's about to tell Moira that her spiritual experience on the operating table was just a chemical reaction before House talks him out of it.
@@theruthmyster Performing the correct solution to the Trolley Dilemma does that FOR a person. Chase saved thousands of lives and took the moral hit himself. Unambiguously the right thing to do.
@@detectivemarkseven It's a reference to how almost every Breaking Bad video will have somebody commenting that "this was the moment Walter became Heisenberg". It became an annoying trend to the point where people now do it ironically to mock them. The point I'm making is that comments on House videos about how "this foreshadows Chase being the true successor to House" are basically the same thing, they just haven't reached that ironic mocking stage yet.
Really loved Chase... He was such a darling... Ready to pray with her and how he shared his favourite Bible verse and telling her the truth of failing the test... He seems to be a real good guy... Having so much to share and give others
But technically wasn't the guy he killed a war criminal? I mean, I'm generally not for vigilante justice, but the guy killed many people and was intending on killing more, so I think the ends justify the means. One death to save thousands. But everyone's opinions on these things are different, I guess.
"You can tell me that you put your faith in God to get you through the day. but when it comes time to cross the road, i know you look both ways" That's powerful, Dr. house
Reminds of a joke: A huge storm is on its way to town. Everyone starts to evacuate save for one man, who is convinced God will save him. Before his neighbors drive off they offer to take him with them, but he says no, God will save him. After the storm hits and the streets flood a boat comes by and the drivers offer him a ride. Again he says no, God will save him. As the flood rises the man is forced on to the roof of his house. A rescue helicopter flies by and offers him a ride. Yet again he turns them down, saying God will save him. Eventually the man drowns. Once in heaven he finds God and asks "My Lord, why didn't you save me?" God replies "I sent you a car, a boat, and a helicopter. What more did you want?".
Sometimes atheists are too smart for their own good or not smart enough. Faith in God, this is going to be obvious, isn't about what you can see (i.e cars if you look in both directions to cross a road). Faith in God is about what you cannot see and do not know.
For a pretty nihilistic show, the discussion of religion and the respect it gives is very refreshing. most tv shows are all in with either nihilism or religion. House balances it extremely well.
What?how is a show about saving lifes nihilistic? If it was nihilistic then House would just give up every time he misses a diagnostic and let everyone die lol
@@LEONN515 I think you have a very limited understanding of nihilism. Lots of nihilists in the world, they don't all just kill themselves. For House, he may or may not believe there's any meaning to what he does. He does it first and foremost because he enjoys it.
@@jakepullman4914 "they don't all just kill themselves" he didn't say that, no one did. This show isn't even nihilistic to begin with. It's just a show about a gifted old man with a limp that doesn't want to conform to the established rules, including socialising like a normal human being, all while healing people. Where's the nihilism? House is a rationalist, he even says so. Have you watched the video or did you stop to answer in the comments?
I think it was laughing at first. Laughter is a common response when you find yourself in an unlikely or difficult to accept situation... The crying follows with the acceptance.
I love how well written this episode was among many such others in the series, the way they managed to relate allergic to god with copper T and scanning for “faith” because of the shape of the implant is just mind blowing
It's so surreal watching this younger, sweeter version of Chase in Season 1. Because you know that eventually he becomes harder and so much more jaded. Seeing this version of him and knowing he eventually becomes the one who replaces House.
I loved the conversation between Chase and the nun in the beginning of the video. The words that were exchanged between them brought tears to my eyes, maybe because I am at a point in my life where I can relate to them, to both sides, but I am choosing faith over fear this time around. Stay strong and be well, everyone.
Ma'am/Sir, Thank you. Your caring and thoughtful words, from 11 months ago, are precisely what I needed at this moment. God's Blessings to you, and everyone, always. Again, thank you.
@@ettabeckner1144 Hi, Etta. Good day to you. I'm terribly sorry it took me a while to respond. I had my booster on the 20th and the fever and chills that took over me forced me into bed for about two days. I think the world of your kind comment. I truly appreciate it and want you to know that faith will always see us through the storm. I don't know what your circumstances may be, but I truly pray that you receive the comfort, support, and care that you need at this time in your life. Hold on and know that there are people who wish the best for who, who wish healing and love into your life--you deserve it, I truly pray that you know that you in your heart. I hope this short message can impart you with light, both during the good days and the bad. May God sustain you and renew you now and in the days to come. Take care, and thank you for the opportunity to converse with you. Please take care and be well. I wish you all the best.
Lisa Edelstein left the show a while after shooting the season 7 finale. According to David Shore, if Edelstein would have told them that she wasn't coming back, he wouldn't have ended the season like he did and would write out the character as she deserved it.👏
Lisa left the show because they wanted to cut her pay so they could pay Olivia Wildes new, incredibly increased fee after her staring in movies. Everyone except Hugh Laurie took a pay cut so they could bring thirteen back for 3 episodes. Would you take a paycut to pay a coworker whos been at the company less time?
Love the way this show handles belief and the debates around it. Most of the characters are accurate portrayals of real types of people, with realistic views on God and spirituality. Faith can make people do stupid things, but the show never calls faith stupid. House might, but that's how he is with everything. Obviously a medical show would lean towards science, but the peace and joy that a life of belief can bring is a refreshing thing to see on TV
House changed his stance in the later seasons. He told Chase to not convince the nun he fell in love with to leave the convent because faith was good for her.
"a refreshing thing to see on tv" There are countless shows and movies with overtly religious believers in them, entire TV and radio channels devoted to religious beliefs, churches on nearly every other street corner telling congregations that nonbelievers are immoral/evil and its next to impossible to get elected to any significant government office without at least pretending to be a believer. What's refreshing is a hero character openly pointing out the absurdities in these beliefs without anyone getting mobbed by torches and pitchforks or burned at the stake.
@@stiimuli ^ And this is the type of talk about religion we're all sick of seeing. Hostile, pointless, and hateful. Painting one side as right and the other as villains. I agree with OP, it's refreshing to see somebody with religious beliefs shown as an actual, decent human being.
Nobody: Docs in the show: I was in seminary school Meanwhile irl Me: gives list of infinite symptoms Docs:probably nothing we'll run a couple of blood tests and prescribe you some meds byeee
@@lordlyka68 House explores every option because he takes 1 case instead of dozens like other doctors so he has time to make any experiment he wants. Also if you are House's patient, then you are basically on the verge of dying and even if he saves you it doesn't mean you have much left afterwards. So it's best to not wish to be his patient :D
I always just get told it’s my period or a UTI. Sometimes they even sprinkle in hormones as the thing to blame. It’s never any of those things, and they never listen until it gets worse.
@@coffeegiraffes5539 Yeah they can be quite cunty like that, some arent total douchemuffins though and Ive been lucky to find one of em recently for my weird stomach problems
@@lordlyka68Sometimes he’s too arrogant for his own good. Man totally ignored the new pots and pans (they were copper, it turns out) and talks down to them when they reasonably question his dish soap theory. Poor woman went through all this because one big-headed nephrologist ignored an obvious clue so he could go home early, after making them wait 55 minutes.
He was just mildly bothered at the fact an important story telling detail was revealed to him in advance whilst reading thy comment section containing said comment which was a bothering uncompromising time of which is an unpleseant dissapointing moment leading to a severe mecontentement that has lead a reaction revealing said moment of him writing this reply that should not have been written, because the comment he is replying to shouldnt exist, it is simply stating the obvious which is useless
I am so relieved to see others commenting on these observational details. I think it was one reason why I stopped watching part way through the series.
3:10 They kind of deducted that whatever was causing her allergic reactions was not some kind of foreign contaminent. The room is hers for the week as there's no real point to moving her while her case is still being studied nor treat the room as a 'Clean Room'.
I love the moments Chase gets when he can talk about his time in seminary or if he has scenes where he can explore his faith. You don’t get a lot of that with physicians these days, real or fictional.
It's not exactly modern, but the movie The Madness of King George has a great scene where the doctor is introduced, and he retorts at King George's dismissal of him leaving his former priesthood with 'our saviour healed the sick'. I assume that even if they often conflict and contradict, the reasons people enter the priesthood and reasons people gain their doctorate are quite often the same.
Jag, I disagree. It is true that there are many doctors who are doctors simply because of family tradition, but most are doctors because they care about the health of others. The primary reason, far and away any other, why most join seminary is because of the religious indoctrination they were subjected to as children, although obviously almost none accept or acknowledge it as such and virtually all seminary members will have their own rationalizations as to why they are doing that.
@@vejeke Well ofcourse, from a broader point of view, but not everyone brought up in a religious framework becomes a priest. In addition to the effect of religious indoctrination, I assume one would have to care for the wellbeing of others, just one in a medical sense and the other in a 'spiritual' sense. So yeah, there are doctors who become so for the pay and prestige and priests who become so for the ingrained fear of hell, but I'd assume there is at least a little overlap in the venn diagram of reasons for those professions.
Chase did a really good thing here. Becoming a theologian isn't the only way someone can serve God. Living your religion us just as important was preaching it and doing anything that benefits society is doing God's work. That's exactly what he's doing by being a doctor.
One of these days I'm going to watch a video on this platform and you WON'T be lurking in the comment section Jedi. Seriously, Every. Single. Video. You're there.
Yes, but what is the meaning of this direction if the very existence of things is intimately linked and clashes with this interpretation? We are beings that depend on the death of other organisms to continue existing (as well as everything else) where Ñ you will kill really has meaning? And then you can give a level to a because ñ you can interpret any of the 10 commandments to the point of favour? In other words, it's nothing but nonsense from someone that the less favored tend to follow because they can't understand its total lack of sense!
While Chase isn't my favorite character (Wilson is), I love the way he deeply and truly gets involved... like this one, that one time with the manipulative little girl and that time when he went with the guys to one of those sites where you meet people to date and pretended to be a bum who spent his days playing video games, but not professionally. He was such an adorable character.
" cause you can tell me that you put your faith in god to get you through day but when it comes to crossing the road i know you look both ways" it may look like just a basic and simple quote but if you analyze more its very deep
I think you can. I think house hates the concept and hates blind faith. She says she has faith but is also ignoring the solutions she’s presented with. The answer to her “prayers” is House
You don't have to hate God, but going back to House's analogy, you can hate the people who believe in God so much that they feel they don't need to look both ways before crossing the road. People who'd pour more money onto God than on food or children. People who pray to God instead of taking their sick baby to the hospital
I don’t hate any of the gods people believe in I just don’t believe in make belief stories that are completely unprovable or have any real world facts. If anyone has proof of any gods or their children please show me.
Mostly we go, "Oh hey, it's a nun" then go on about our days. Same for priests, hasidic Jews, Muslims, or pretty much any other person whose religion is obvious. We mostly don't care as long as they're minding their own business
There's a little antechamber between the room and the hallway. That's where Foreman and Cameron were struggling to get into their sterile scrubs when Chase yelled "Screw the procedure! She's in anaphylactic shock!"
"I was just being nice." "Yeah, well, you don't need to always do that." True, but you don't have to put butter on your bread. Yet sometimes you do. You got a reason for her NOT to? ... Didn't think so. But we love you anyway, Dr. H.
I never watched Lost but I watched V, Revolution and OUAT and only now just realised this was Erica/Rachel/Snow Queen from them (respectively). Couldn't tell to look but the voice is unmistakable.
I love how House basically went into care mode as soon she went into shock in the clean room "check that...check that, check everything" Really stresses that he does care no matter who it is
As a theist I like hearing different perspectives. The show doesn't lean on one or the other, but opens the discussion to both. I believe in God wholeheartedly and I have my logical reasons, but hearing an atheist perspective on things helps me understand the other side. Even if its a fictional show, still portrays a realistic atheist-theist debate about God.
Nun: "I want to die. Why has he left me" 😢 Chase: "I went to seminary school..." 😥 House: "He never left you...because there wasn't anyone there to begin with." 🤔
"We just don't know the reason" is such a nice quote. So many people believe god exist because they don't understand something (i.e. why does the universe exist, why life exist), when the only proper response to not knowing something is "I don't know".
Chase is hands down my favorite character. I know it might need to be House, but I love Chase a little bit more. He has such a good heart! And the way he shows it is always so touching, so moving! ❤
I like how she had the reaction talking about god, bc she could interpret it as god telling her what was wrong, with the cross iud and all. Maybe to her that was a sign. I'm not religious but I like how they put that possibility in there for us :)
@Ethos Magnos my God. I'm a doctor, I literally waited helplessly until some of my patients died due to covid. Because there was nothing else to do. Your way of thinking is honestly frightening. Please stay safe and get the vaccine if it's available in your country.
When they first try and work out how she went into anaphylaxis in a clean room, house says it's not idiopathic. But doesn't idiopathic just mean you don't know the cause so wouldn't it be idiopathic at that moment?
Day 2 of saying how we all appreciate you or you guys keeping this show alive for future generations and generations now. Thank you! And merry Christmas 🎁
