jack did, in fact, want will to profile a gay serial killer
Every episode of house be like:
A small child is visibly ill. They start coughing and clutching their throat, but whips out an inhaler and they’re fine. Oh shit! The man across the street just started bleeding out of both of his eyeballs!
Cut to house grimacing in pain and swallowing too much Vicodin.
Differential! Go! Shut up chase you’re an idiot.
They do a bunch of tests, everything is inconclusive!
We need to biopsy the patients eyeballs!
Cut to foreman explaining to the family about how invasive and dangerous a biopsy is.
Biopsy is inconclusive. Cut to house and Wilson. Wilson gives a long introspective dialogue about how houses addiction is deeply rooted in his own self hatred and that he pushes people away to further punish himself.
Epiphany time! Give the patient the medicine drug!
Patient is saved. House and Wilson eye fuck each other while going out for drinks.
“Oh, Tyler, please deliver me.”
fight club if it was good
getting really popular for playing a closet homosexual in one queercoded media as an actor has gotta be one thing but having it happen twice is kind of insane rip robert sean leonard for being gay and dying twice
imo.... house has a fair bit more empathy than wilson. this bothers both of them immensely.
i think house is easy to perceive as unempathetic because his actions are often counter to acting with empathy or at least like... seem that way. but i think this is kind of a mistake and also kind of diminishes his responsibility in his actions? he absolutely understands when he's hurting people on purpose and he knows how they feel- that's, in part, why he does it. he is very hurt when people around him suffer in real ways and gets incredibly distracted by it. house lashes out when people are suffering in ways he cant meaningfully change because it hurts him and hurting that person is causing an emotion he has control of.
in my opinion wilson has a pretty normal amount of empathy for a doctor, which i think is maybe slightly less than an average person. i think he feels a kind of void about this though and i think he massively obsesses over being a good-enough person; wants to think morally good thoughts and feel morally good things and one of those things (to him) is a level of empathy he doesn't really have. i think this perceived failure leads him to extremes to compensate (like give up a large piece of his liver to a patient who sucks)

wilson is so fucking funny. he practically stole the fancy apartment cuddy wanted to buy right out from under her because she hurt house and needed to be punished. plus he and house needed a bigger place with room for a bigger fridge. so they move in together and wilson is just like "wait why do people think we're gay???"
