So...

You're getting ready to send Atlantis back to Pegasus.  Or perhaps you are among a handful of secret plotters planning to steal the city and return it on your own, knowing it means permanent estrangement from Earth.


Which doctor inspired more confidence, Carson or Keller? (names chosen in this format because it had a nice ring to it)

Who made the better CMO?

Which is more likely to say, "Yes, I'll go back to Pegasus?"

Which is more likely to turn a blind eye to the stealing of Atlantis if TPTB won't send the city back?  Which is more likely to actively aid, even if they didn't intend on going back themselves?  Would either one rat on the rest of the expedition planning such a risky move?

If you could send *any* medical doctor, either in this fandom or another, who would you choose?

So yeah, doctors being stupid and not seeing weight as a symptom not a cause was the ultimate message. And I have forgiven Chase since he killed the Hitleresque dictator.</I. I think issues like that need to be brought up in stories, even if they aren't handled well. At the very least, they make you think about subjects that you might otherwise not consider. I vaguely remember the dictator story--didn't his girlfriend break up with him over that?

She had almost done it earlier in the episode. And then he did it. They were married. I gather there was a RL engagement between the two of them that had recently been ended as well. They played the emoitions out well. But House always presses the envelope. The dictator one kind of raised the question that is often raised, "If you knew the damage Hitler was going to cause, would you have pre-emptively killed him?" It has been done many times. THe Dead Zone. Hell, even a Star Trek episode where poor Kirk has to let Joan Collins get killed...for WW2 to turn out "right".

I think the reason their marriage broke up was because Chase wasn't "sorry".

That was probably one of the few eps of House that I've seen. The BF has a low tolerance for medical dramas and I found myself stressing to find the correct solution before House. :-)

Still like the show, though!
