I could totally see that happening (as sad as that would be). It hurt so much when Wilson made that comment on the couch (although sick and not thinking clearly, he was still being brutally honest) about how he felt he didn't deserve to get cancer but how someone with House's mean and reckless personality could justify receiving such a disease (although in the upcoming trailer, apparently Wilson starts to throw all caution to the wind and turn into a fool). I could definitely see Wilson end up dying anyway (either to the disease or to something stupid like a car crash- how terrible would that be, to go through all this cancer treatment just to die some other way?), and then House would just crumble mentally. | ||

Which is what House should have forced on Wilson if he really cared about him. Instead we are left with some kind of unsatisfying compromise, which is something House wouldn't do. The more I think about this episode the more it annoys me: the entire show was about House doing what he thought was right, no matter the consequences. The right choice for House would have been either tricking or forcing Wilson to accept the best available medical treatment with the highest chances of survival and deal with the fall-out later. | ||

The right choice for House would have been either tricking or forcing Wilson to accept the best available medical treatment with the highest chances of survival and deal with the fall-out later. That's true, but ever since he lost Cuddy he's been changing a little bit, in small subtle attempts to keep actual relationships (no matter how illogical it ended up being). He did that to Dominica and now he's doing that to Wilson- two of the very few people that really got to him emotionally. If this were one of the first few seasons, it would make no sense. However, I think it's slightly more consistent with what's going on now. | ||

Your argument is that because House forces that upon his random patients he doesn't give a fuck about he'd do it to the one guy apart from himself he actually gives a shit about? I think you kind of missed the point here. There's an episode in the first series (I think?) called three stories. Watch it again. | ||

I think you kind of missed the point here. I think that's a good point, and it was somewhat mirrored in the mother/ doctor last night, when she lost all objectivity while treating her daughter. House is perfectly capable of remaining impartial (as is Wilson), but then when it comes down to treating a close friend (or yourself), it's apparently hard to practice what you preach. Emotions cloud your judgment. | ||

I think you kind of missed the point here. There's an episode in the first series (I think?) called three stories. Watch it again. My argument is that the one thing that House wants to be above all else is completely rational, which is what allows him to be what he is. House has always chosen being a more rational person over emotional attachments and becoming a 'better' person, and one of the main themes of the show is that people don't change. They might want to, but they don't. Three stories (if I remember it correctly) is the episode where they explain how House lost his leg, which I remember as a story on how sick people are capable of making completely insane decisions when it comes to their own health, even if they're trained medical professionals. I think even House admits at some point in that specific episode that Stacy made the correct decision; which is to trick House, against his will, into the most promising treatment. She knows she risks her relationship with House by doing it, but still does it. House on the other hand is suddenly all-caring about his relationship with Wilson, unwilling to risk it even for the benefit of Wilson. This while he regularly risks his entire relationship with Wilson for much more trivial things. It didn't strike me as the option House would choose, but I kind of find myself rooting against a happy ending. I don't want House to end as a reform story, I want it to end with the same manipulative asshole that gets what he wants because he's right. | ||
