House (TV series): Difference between revisions

** She refers to ''herself'' as Thirteen.

** Also, the name of Cameron's late husband has yet to be revealed. Since she was {{spoiler|[[Put on a Bus]], [[The Un-Reveal|it may never be]].}}

** "You couldn't be curious about heroin?" "Not since last year's Christmas party."

* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: In many episodes, as long as House cures whatever is causing the disease, the effects it had are either glossed over or vanish.

* [[No Sympathy]]: For the sake of his ego, House goes out of his way to provoke this in other people. He also pulls this himself; one prime example is his [[Screwy Squirrel|goading and bullying of Stacy's husband Mark]].

* [[Not So Different]]: There's a recurring subplot about Foreman's similarity to House. One episode actually had him mulling it over the whole episode, and then they walk into the elevator at the end, and realize they're wearing the exact same type of jeans and sneakers. Foreman actually {{spoiler|resigns}} as a result of this.

** There are also some similarities between House and Tritter; in episode ''Son of Coma Guy'' Tritter even says "[[Catch Phrase|Everybody lies]]" to Foreman - and he [[Strange Minds Think Alike|never heard]] House saying that before.

** Don't forget Amber:

{{quote|'''House, to Wilson:'''"Wait a second, this isn't just about the sex. You like her personality. You like that she's conniving. You like that she has no regard for consequences. You like that she can humiliate someone if it serves... [his eyes widen, long pause] Oh my God! You're sleeping with ''me''!"}}

* [[Obnoxious In-Laws]]: Although House and Cuddy aren't married, Arlene Cuddy certainly proves to be this. Oy vey.

* [[Old Shame]]: Wilson acted in his roomate's college film, which turned out to be a porno (not the actual sex scenes though). House finds out and has GIANT POSTERS hung up in the hospital lobby, and soon everyone is quoting the film's horrible, horrible lines ad nauseam.

** In the episode Epic Fail there is also a patient who works on video games. What he does is never described, but apparently he worked with what seemed like only three other people on a fully 3d game, programming, modelling and animating. And also he dissected dead birds.

** Actually Chase's official specialities are in cardiology and intensive care. And then he ended up as the Head of Surgery for awhile.

* [[Once an Episode]]: It's not lupus. It's ''never'' lupus... {{spoiler|until it is.}}

** Before then, hilariously lampshaded at least once:

* [[The Only One]]: House, most of the time.

* [[Only Sane Employee]]: Cuddy is technically Dean of Medicine and chief administrator of the hospital. Her ''real'' job is keeping House and his increasingly House-like fellows under some measure of control.

* [[Out-Gambitted]]

* [[Pac-Man Fever]]: Whenever House is shown playing video games, mostly ''[[Metroid]]''.

'''Patient:''' Medicine is like politics - all that matters is results. }}

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: House, Cameron and Wilson.

** Chase was fired by House at the end of Season 3, and commuted as a surgeon at the hospital. After House had gone into rehab, he was roped back to work for Foreman (and later House, who had taken an advisory role until his medical licence returned.) By the time House had got his licence back, and his marriage with Cameron broke down, he jumped off the commuting bus and back into the team.

** Cameron left her job to support Chase, commuting as the senior ER doctor for the hospital. She is also roped in to help Foreman when Chase was. The breakdown of her marriage to Chase moved her onto a long-distance bus (to the surprise of her actress).
