Hosue: 8x12 "Chase" - Discussion/Spoilers
- Thread starter Trekker4747
- Start date
Tonight's episode of House was decent. Nothing great. I love the scene between House and Chase when House admits that he doesn't want Chase to be like him and pushes him to see that what happened to him was an accident and not his fault. But the ending of this episode does make me wonder about the so-called consequences of the events of Nobody's Fault that I have been hearing would ripple throughout the rest of the season/series because they seem to have been resolved for the most at this point. Everything is returning back to status quo which frustrates me. And I thought in tonight's episode, Chase was going to talk about his murder of Dibala with the nun according to some spoilers.
Just like House himself, we will never really nkow what is wrong, but we will blame syphilis.
The 5 o'clock shadow, the limp. The transformation was almost complete! Chase was close to becoming House 2.0
Shame no cane vs cane banter.
I missed the first 15 minutes but I hope they got some Mini House banter in.

Good episode but it resolved the consequences of "Nobody's Fault" far too quickly. I liked the actress who played the nun because she reminded me a bit of Scarlett Johansson.
That would have been cool. I kept expecting a direct reference to Cameron (other than "I was married before") especially when House belittled Chase about his relationships.
I would have preferred if, instead of returning to House's team, Chase had gone back to being a member of the surgery staff or is put in charge of his own medical team that goes head to head with House's. I missed the days of Season 4 and Season 5 when Chase wasn't working for House and was his own doctor. There was a mature level of equality in their relationship back then.
- I don't like Chase, but it was a good episode that told a complete story.
- I liked the nun's story and thought it was well fleshed out. The whole "sleeping with a nun" angle was handled well enough. It would have been better if she were actually a full nun who broke her vow this one time, but I'm satisfied with what we got.
- The actress' name is Julie Mond, by the way, and she looked damn sexy in that nun's habit. Had to say it. It's a habit.
- I got the "House vibe" from Chase as well. We've seen this before. Still, I've never seen him as a future House or even his equal.
- Park's guilt was a bit much.

I don't remember Park being guilty. I remember her being afraid, thinking that it could've just as easily been her in that room.
I'm surprised that Taub would put up with House's taunting.
And who jumped who in the hallway? I missed that bit.

Taub was the one who was tackled. I didn't see who did the tackling, but I assume it's someone House paid to do it.
My mistake then. She did seem overly distraught by what happened though.
Well, I think most real people would react to a violent, near-fatal assault of a coworker in their place of business with a lot more shock, panic, and distress than most TV characters tend to do. TV and movies tend to gloss over the psychological impact of experiencing violence. It's no small thing.
That's true, a lot of shows and movies do tend to gloss over violent events that should have more fallout. In this particular situation though, it just felt to me like Park was belaboring the issue. Things like being agitated over an extended period after a kerfuffle, or survivor's guilt and the like aren't things I relate to very well. Is it because I've never been attacked or seen someone being with a knife and don't know what it's like? Maybe, but it's also because I'm not one to remain distraught over traumatic events.
Remember when Taub was talking to the janitor while House was hiding with the super-soaker? House wondered to himself why he hadn't thought of using the janitor as an agent.
So he did!
Well, I am, so it made sense to me.
Maybe I'm confusing two different scenes, but I thought the tackle happened at the tail end of the same scene with the janitor. But if you're right, House saying "Why didn't I think of using the janitor?" could've been just his usual mind games -- "Oh, that's right, I already did!"
