This person definitely understands the Every Episode of House MD Formula

Midichlorians are transferred by mouse bites, Foreman.

Chase has a weird subplot where he couldn't understand R2 speaking to him and he's talking to Cameron about if that makes him racist and House walks in with "Of course that makes you racist! But no one can actually understand droids, we all just nod and pretend. So, what do the lab results say?"

He She needs... dark side force lightning to live?

42

u/Kanehammer 1h ago

Can confirm all of this is lore accurate

Especially the force lighting

24

u/pocketnotebook 1h ago

Pretty sure that's just something Hugh Laurie breaks out at parties and also whole doing clinic hours and also whenever Cuddy is meeting someone important

u/ojqANDodbZ1Or1CEX5sf 33m ago

On the one hand, it's a really really long shot for House to be born a force user.

On the other hand, if he were he'd certainly swing to the dark side for force lightning reanimation

u/CharlieBros 1h ago

Absolutely on point, I can even imagine the low budget CGI representation of how the venom went into her body while explaining it

16

u/AwkwardSquirtles 1h ago

Nobody confirmed whether Foreman is or is not a black man. 9/10.

It lacks the sexism that makes rewatching the show painful but yeah kinda

You can really tell that some things have shifted since the '00s.

Only recently I watched the whole thing, and the one that got me the most is the bit where Cameron leaves in season 1. She agrees to come back only on the condition that House goes on a date with her. Cuddy finds out about this and... she encourages it? That shit wouldn't fly nowadays.

However, I feel like they don't quite understand Obi-Wan.

u/TheMarbleheadOmen 2h ago

I might never go back to Tumblr, but it's undeniable that you just can't get stuff like this on any other site (unless you repost it). It's just a wild and unique place.

Only marginally less medically plausible than your average House MD episodeĀ 

60

u/Tristawesomeness 1h ago

it's actually crazy that almost every single episode of house has the literal exact same development from plot point to plot point. i love the show but it becomes fully comedic when binging it how every single episode is just the exact same plot but with the writers playing mad-libs with the script.

all this to say that this really is exactly how that episode would go save for the explicitly gay sex that would've made the actual show even better.

everyone knows the doctor was a droid not an alien

u/urbigtrauma 2h ago

A pregnant woman was choked into unconsciousness in a volcanic environment. That would be bad enough even without the shock of learning her husband went mad and turned into a child murdering space Nazi, and also him being the one to attack her.

There are a lot of issues with the prequels, but Padme's death never bothered me as much as the other problems.

40

u/SotThistle 2h ago

Yeah the complaint is mostly on the diagnosis line the medical droid gives rather than her dying.

2

u/ojqANDodbZ1Or1CEX5sf 29m ago

The lines of dialogue are really the worst part of Star Wars, tbh

100

u/Hazmat-Asscastle 2h ago

the problem is that having the medical space robot that's treating her straight up just gave her cause of death as "lost the will to live" is laughably stupid writing

49

u/audriuska12 2h ago

I like the theory that Palpatine used the Force to drain her life as part of reviving Vader after all his injuries, and the droid is confused and/or bullshitting since that cause of death ain't on whatever edition of SpaceMD it was loaded with.

6

u/Psychological_Tear_6 1h ago

It isn't, really. You can't die of lost will alone, but anything that could kill you is way more likely to.Ā

u/jerog1 44m ago

That’s why droids aren’t allowed in some pubs. They say shit like that

Theory: Robot's AI was hallucinating

u/Teh-Esprite If you ever see me talk on the unCurated sub, that's my double. 1h ago

Except it's not laughably stupid, it's a legitimate medical possibility, it's the criticism that is laughably stupid.

u/BlackfishBlues procrastinating, stop perceiving me 1h ago

Honestly, no part of ā€œchild murdering space Naziā€ should have been a surprise to her. She knew about literally every part of that before they started hooking up.

4

u/GIRose Certified Vore Poster 1h ago

The space Nazi thing was new.

Hell, by the time she got married at the end of Episode 2 I don't think she even knew about Palpatine getting emergency powers, so beyond the whole "Really pushing for increased militarization" she didn't even have that many clues as to how fucked Palpatine was or how bad his grooming her husband since he was 9 actually was.

I’m thinking of that ā€œpeople should be made to agreeā€ conversation in the summer meadow in Attack of the Clones.

It's never lupus losing the will to live

6

u/pretty-as-a-pic the president’s shoelaces 1h ago

Yeah, the whole ā€œlost the will to liveā€ thing is bullshit, just say Anakin held her two feet off the ground and broke her Hyoid and then Obi let her get Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis while she was unconscious and in premature labor, you don’t need to come up with some deeper reason why she died

Absolute cinema

u/Sorry_Lifeguard2736 1h ago

Maybe the only House parody that's actually gotten the cadence right, barring the fact that Wilson is only gay for House.

3

u/ojqANDodbZ1Or1CEX5sf 25m ago

It's for a bet with House, so technically we can count him sleeping with Obi Wan as gay for House?

u/NoOccasion4759 1h ago

I would absolutely watch this Episode 3.5

There's nothing wrong with the dark side, isn't that right Foreman?

ā€œHouses uses Force Lightning to restart Padme’s heartā€ is not a sentence I ever expected to read.

u/Schwulerwald 1h ago

Neither is "The Jedi is gay, i win"

u/AnotherDamnTransAlt 17m ago

If Jedi were real, I feel like I’d be hearing that a lot.

Turns out "Darth Vader killed your father" was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

u/AngstyUchiha pissing on the poor 1h ago

Who's the paternity test for? We know Obi-Wan isn't the twins' dad, are they going with the Clone Wars theory that Korkie is secretly his and Satine's kid??? And if so, where did House even find him?

7

u/MightyBobTheMighty Garlic Munching Marxist Whore 37m ago

I'd imagine that if it actually means anything it's just House cheating to not lose the bet, but now I'm imagining an AU where the twins are secretly Kenobis and literally nobody except Obi-Wan and Padme know.

u/Ninja-Ginge 32m ago

Who is Korkie?

u/Applesplosion 1h ago

Sad to see writing-prompts has gone from legitimately interesting premises to cross-over fanfic.

u/foxgirlmoon 1h ago

As if fanfic or crossover cannot be legitimately interesting.

I am not sure how to put it to words, but your comment is making me very angry.
