*holds you tightly by the shoulders until you're bleeding* haha funny joke about pharma's chainsaw hands. but you understand that pharma is actually a really tragic character? you understand that he did not work with the DJD willingly and was forced to harvest organs for them under the threat of the entire delphi outpost getting destroyed if he didnt? you understand that while his "crazy doctor DJD" reputation in the fandom can be funny he actually suffered a lot and it only makes sense he ended up cracking under the pressure and the venomous scrutiny from the people he once called his comrades? you understand that his life was literally just a horrible mess of incredibly unlucky coincidences made worse by his bad decisions, which he was making out of fear and self-preservation instinct? you understand how deeply fucked up ratchet stealing his hands and adaptus possessing his body really was and how extremely damaged he must have been? can anyone hear me? are you going to let me out of here now? i swear i wont lick the electrical outlets again.

give me a magical setting where the single most terrifying adversary you can come across is a fire magic user with long, loose hair.
a setting where everyone who can so much as light their hands ablaze crops their hair short, or at least tucks it tight into a bun, because fire is an independent, uncontrollable thing. but when you meet someone who doesn't? then either their hubris has gotten the better of them, making unpredictable enough to be very, very dangerous in their own right...
or worse, they really are untouchable by any backlash from their own power. they really are that skilled, that well-practiced, and deadly accurate, and able to control that which was never meant to be controlled. if you're staring down a fire-wielder with long hair, which possibility are you even gonna wish for? which one's worse?

don't ever change (4x12) is the best episode of house
minimal hate crimes SLASH patient is jewish and i'm jewish so i get to decide where the line is for the hate crimes i will personally accept and for me: it's tolerable.
medical condition makes sense and is not insane. (house md fandom wiki rates this ep as 'zebra factor 1')
i guess i sort of said this in 1, but broadly speaking, just do love it when there's jews. bonus: only orthogonal housonian antisemitism! ('it's fine to be jewish, just not religious about it,' which like. is shitty. but this is hate crimes md and see #1.)
thirteen gets outed. bi pride! #representation
house realizes wilson is dating amber volakis AKA 'cutthroat bitch' and explicitly, with his human words, says "you're dating me!" when he realizes, and then, later, 'you could do worse than dating a female proxy of me' when he's decided to give them his blessing
at the same time, in this episode, house knows... way too much about judaism. like, more than the reform/liberal jews on his team. i think it's taub* (jewish) who describes the prayer the hasidic patient's husband says over her - "he's singing, something about eshet hayil" - and house instantly knows and explains that this is a prayer for a husband to say over his wife, calling her a woman of valor. this is a thing that plenty of jews would not necessarily recognize off the top of their heads! this is something that very few goyim would know off the top of their heads.
this is just one example but he consistently has huge reservoirs of information about jewish stuff that the other jewish characters on the main cast do not know or are not chosen to be the ones to convey to the audience. thus: house knows truly just so much about judaism, and uses about half of it to be an obnoxious jerk.
why does he know all this stuff.
why is he insane and over the top about wilson's judaism in the (previous) christmas episode as well. he takes it more seriously than wilson does. by a significant factor
NOW, TO SYNTHESIZE SEVERAL OF THE ABOVE POINTS INTO A MATHEMATICAL PROOF FOR WHY THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE OF HOUSE:
this is making me insane. like i don't know how to explain this. did he learn this stuff - did he take a conversion class specifically to be able to bully wilson? WHY DOES HE KNOW THIS. WHAT DID HE DO.
i'm normal about it
how is house going to be like "i give you permission to date a lady version of me instead of dating me" while he is clearly advertising what an amazing jewish wife he would make for wilson
it's just a perfect episode.
