You Can't Always Get What You Want
|
Anyone who watches House M.D. on a regular basis will have by now picked up on two phrases that seem to be the slogans of the show: “Everybody Lies” and “You Can't Always Get What You Want.” The first slogan of the show, “Everybody Lies”, seems to be House's philosophy about people. Knowing that Dr. House is the antisocial, misanthrope and very miserable person that he is, this statement which he utters frequently, very nicely sums up the entire view House has for humanity. He finds them un-useful, un-trustworthy and not worthy of spending time with because you'll never get the truth, which to House, is the most important thing.
The other slogan of the show, “You Can't Always Get What You Want”, seems instead to be the universal message of the show (along with “Its never Lupus) to speak to all of its viewers and to speak for all of its characters. This slogan is what I have decided to write this article on.
The Phrase itself comes from the band The Rolling Stones and is actually the title of a very famous song written by the singer Mick Jagger (known to House as the “Great Philosopher”) called, "You Can't Always Get What You...

A/N: Not for the squeamish!! This chapter details House's injuries, in a clinical sort of way, but it's still quite shocking and disturbing...consider yourselves warned! :P

Though House was moaning and writhing on the narrow bed, as if desperately struggling to escape some unseen foe, his eyes were closed, and he might have appeared to be asleep and battling a nightmare, had Wilson not known better.
This was a textbook PTSD flashback.
"No...please!" House fairly sobbed, his hands fisting in the blanket that was now tangled around his legs. "Wilson..."
Too bad I've never actually dealt with textbook PTSD.
"House," Wilson murmured, keeping his voice low, not wanting to risk being overheard by any curious ears outside the door, as he crouched beside the gurney and reached out a gentle hand to rest on House's arm. "House, it's just me...it's Wilson...I'm here, okay?"

After watching the season finale,I felt depressed.The show I loved was going down the path of Grey's Anatomy with the exaggerated emotionally charged deaths.However,after taking in mind certain motives in literature and ancient Greek tragedy, I realised that this was the intension of the writers in the beginning.If the strike hadn't interrupted the filming, I believe that we would have seen the whole picture and not be left with missing pieces.If you haven't seen the season finale or don't want any s5 spoilers, DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
House is an anti-hero.He does mot contain those elements that make people want to identify with him.He is a self-righteous b$%&*rd who believes that he is God and does not give a tiny rat's ass about the feelings of others.However, his unique demeanour is what attracted us to him.All of us would like to behave like him at one point, but don't have the guts.Nevertheless,House,as all anti-heroes MUST STAND ALONE and follow his own path by sufferring.Amber's death,however unfortunate,was intentional in order for House to lose his only friend,Wilson.The only way this would be achieved is by taking...
