What Did You Screw Up? | House M.D. 

Shadow wo1f05 nine nine

ah yes the 99

I think terry would be fun

NINE NINE

Frank Pembleton is better;-)

True, wish he would have been in more episodes

so perfect... it was only 2 eps lol sooo yah it was not.

Ya. Their shoulda been a love seen between the two. Would that have made u even happier...?!

The whole show was perfect,ironical, Legendary

This is a masterpiece.

Otherwise it would be pointless to pay him.

Well that’s not any therapist that MOTHAFUCKING HOLT

@@masters.1000 how do u do that?

Because the therapist has a really shrewd understanding of human behavior and House seems to acknowledge that.

Black , strong men can be very intimating 😝😂 If it was a female therapist , House would have played her by now . With all due respect to all females 🙏🏻 it’s about house not judging anyone

One of the few times a character deconstructed House's personality and basically forced him to see the crude truth of how people perceive House and why he should care about how he wants to be perceived. Because if he continues in this path, he won't have anyone left to care for him.

Hexiiix I’m dead

Taub has powers to get into anyone's head

Agree, one of the best episodes in the series! Very creative and unique in terms of writing, story telling, visuals, everything!

All good things must come to an end and it was House’s time to end. Season 8 there was a noticeable decline in quality of the show (apart from the finale). Hugh Laurie himself was sick of the show and glad to be done of it by the end. Kudos to him for not letting that affect his performance and giving it everything he had right until the end.

I still watch it every night. Just pick random episodes every night

Season 8 was some of the best of Hughs performance. It was the rest that was rhw problem. Trust me rewatch season 8 house himself is just as funny more sarcastic I don't think they nailed the series and other characters very well. Hugh was a joy to watch as ever.

The thunder sound effects too

I don't get it.

@@monetizeandsubscribeg.m.da4430 the therapist actor is also from a show called Brooklyn 99. In couple episodes the character jake called the therapist dad by accident

@@bbdndlsd5674 Thank you! I suspected it was a Brooklyn 99 reference.

😂😂

am gonna teach father the math

he is the man.

He was good in Primal Fear too

Nolan more than any other character in the show not named Wilson or Cuddy got House as close as he'd ever come to being honest with himself about the way he feels. Quietly one of the best House foils written into the show during the later years when the writer's room may have sometimes been struggling to keep things interesting.

He did get abused by his dad so your right

I love how immediately angry he gets when he says "Wilson is not a consolation prize" after pausing to answer why he and Wilson are friends. It makes it so clear that what he was considering wasn't why he was friends with Wilson, but rather why Wilson was friends with him.

Most disappointing part of this episode was how Braughner lets House walk out after House gets upset that he doesn't want to admit that he is losing his chance at being with Cuddy. Completely uncharacteristic of his character. All in all, great episode though!

Because it was one of the best shows ever!

It's one of the greatest series ever. I'm not sure it deserves the top spot, but it is definitely up there.

I will always love this show. One of the best ever.

I watch it still most days

It was a great show, Master.

Yeah, the blocking felt theatrical. One of the best of the entire season.

Literally came to the comments to say this. It's so very true, this could be staged with very little difficulty. It's not even just the staging, thematically it suits the medium so well.

I'm so glad I could actually find a comment like this, I really enjoy the fact that they took a different way to give us a trully good scene, and it show how good the entire cast really is, It would be extremelly exciting to have at least a small chance to see any of them acting in a play

This scene inspired me to write scenes like this where it’s told in flashback with the present day characters observing and commenting, even directing the story to show different interpretations of the same conversation. Does it have a name?

Came here looking to see if this comment inevitably happened

THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT EVER

Detective Diaz, How DARE you speak that way to your cOMMANDING OFFICER

"How dare you, Det. Diaz? I am your SUPERIOR OFFICER!!"

MassiveTree Usually when shows go to season five or six, one of two things happen, they either reinvent their show to keep from repetition (Cheers, Frasier, House, and Married With Children) or they start to repeat the same plots they did in earlier seasons, but with slight twists in the hopes that the audience doesn’t catch on (Three’s Company, Laverne & Shirley, Dynasty, and Dallas).

Agreed. When the cases started to get stale, they dug into House as a character. It's exactly how a long-running show SHOULD be handled - don't try to stick to the same formula when it's no longer working. Find a new aspect of the show to write about.

And we love it.

@@LordofFullmetal "ok, we've established the medical arc and it's coming to a close, what's next?" "Character development arc!" ~how I imagine the directive conversation went

True. I realised that the only patients I remembered were the ones from the earlier seasons. The episodes were about a patient, their illness was linked to their lives, and what happened at the hospital impacted House or the team in some way. But as we got further into the show, the patients became a routine thing, the roles switched.

Charges may vary

My therapist: why are you sad, dont be sad. Sad is bad, lad. Me: thank you, I'm cured. That'll be $200 dollars

If he was, could you afford him

Dont we all? But hey this is a tv show, they written the lines to go that way... In real life, it is harder to dive in and help a person's pysche

we all wish that

I don't know. I think Wilson needs House in his own way. He's been in some relationships that went to shit. With House he knows what he is in for. For all the good and bad, Wilson always knows what to expect from House. Their relationship might be the most honnest one he ever knew. And there's also the savior thing where Wilson always try to stear House on a righteous path. And from House perspective, he always pushes everyone around to know their worth, to know who can push back and give him his fix intellectually. But unbeknownst to House, Wilson pushes back in a way that House may underestimate, but really need; an emotional way. Wilson is always there for House, and therefore closest thing to familly the House has.

I feel like Wilson is just a normal guy who wants excitement in his life. House provides that. He's one of those friends who you want to kill but simultaneously he's someone you can have a lot of fun with because of his batshit insane hijinks.

Both need each other. Wilson is someone who's willing to take an uppercut if his friends really need it. House is someone who's willing to give you an uppercut if you really need it, but both of them wouldn't do what the other one does, except for each other. If house needed to be punched, wilson would do it if it was necessary, and house would take any hits from wilson for him to feel better. It's because they know what the other person need and they need, but no other person can spark that feeling on either of them. With house, Wilson learned to think a bit more on himself, to take pride on him and what he wants, likes and does, and with wilson, house learned how and when to shut up and lie in order to keep or obtain peace, he learned to put the someone's necessities above his, that doesn't come to play that often when they talk or interact with other people, but that's something very common when those two interact

"- He'll ask me to move in back after the divorce. I take the long view. - Have you told Wilson that? - Are you kidding? That's the sort of thing that makes people want to hit you." House does censor himself around Wilson.

I would say it like this: With Wilson, House gets someone that puts up with all of his dissimulation, narcissism, myopia, manipulation, cynicism, abrasiveness, and snark. With House, Wilson gets someone who will never put up a pretense just to make you feel good, never just go along with something because it's the path of least resistance. Wilson gets brutal honesty with House (and sees through House's many manipulative schemes). Wilson's many failed marriages/relationships highlight (House is pretty much his only real close friend) how Wilson is bad at relationships. He falls for the illusions that most people put forth out of sheer politeness. When the REAL person begins to peak through, Wilson becomes disillusioned. Wilson's relationship with Sam is perfect example.

Check out a show called Homicide. He's excellent in that too.

You should watch Glory to see how excellent an actor he is. Completely unrecognizable from Captain Holt, and not just because of how young he was

He's good in frequency too

@deekat3279 it has lupus

I have two friends with actual Lupus. And it's awful, really.

I know a sweet old lady with lupus

davidsirmons but it’s never lupus

jkgaming101 it’s always lupus

Well not in the end.

This comment brings me joy

Too bad he relapse.

most dynamic duos are actually polar opposites.

“Dynamic duos” literally refers to opposites.

It's actually the stereotype for dynamic duos to be polar opposites; specifically because that works so well in fiction. It also works really well in real life a lot of the time - there's a reason people say "opposites attract". People tend to seek out relationships with those who have a trait that they're missing.

Agree, it was brilliant!

Does it have a name?

Nice catch. Over half a dozen times thru the show & still plenty to pick up on

yes

What this psychologist does to House is wildly inappropriate. If he didn't feel ready to talk about a certain thing, that's his right, and it certainly doesn't give the therapist an excuse to pressure him by going and reading a magazine. The client should never feel like they have to manage their therapist's emotions or please them. It made good TV, sure, but in real life this would be an egregious ethical violation.

@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 You are completely right and I have no I idea why people keep romanticizing this. Sure, great TV, whatever, but in no way is this logical for a psychiatric diagnostic point-of-view.

​@@KimberleyBluetbf house probably insists on ethical violations occuring during his therapy

It’s like they’re ghosts watching the flashbacks, making comment and offering multiple valid interpretations of the same facts….. I so wanna write like this……any other movies or shows that do this style apart from one episode of house and that gene Hackman Morgan freeman movie.

"Peralta, what are you doing?"

Well Santiago’s brother did...

Ammar Harith exactly

I don't think it was intimidation, it was genuine respect for someone at the top of THEIR field.

@@DerekHartley this guy is right imo. Almost kindred spirits.

I like your pfp dude

That's because it's Frank Pembleton from Homicide: Life on the Street.

Hope you got your degree buddy. A fellow social worker

I was just thinking that, feels so cram packed with dialogue

Agree, brilliant writing and directing

Absolutely! Only now I'm starting to show a deep respect for these men and women who stay on the background and let the actors shine though their well-chosen words. Few writers in the industry are household names and that's really a shame.

Udhay Kumar, I hear ya.

John S. Bodle Andre is a phenomenal actor. What I like about him is that he doesn’t have to say much to get you to listen to him. Every word carries meaning and weight. That is quite a powerful tool.

Problem is after seeing Nolan, al real psychiatrists would be a let down.

He’s self destructive when faced with shame. Self punishment.

Yeah, as horrible is it is, if someone hits House, it is usually because he wanted them to hit him, whether for leverage, catharsis, to discredit themselves in front of others, or to punish himself, it is because he chose to have that happen. This is also abuse survivor behaviour - if you provoke the violence, it is expected violence rather than unexpected violence. The difference between seeing it coming VS getting caught unaware is huge, so if you see violence as inevitable either way, better to provoke it.
