I've been thinking lately about having a House M.D. rewatch, looking at it as Chase and Foreman's journey from their grunt-doctor days to basically running the hospital. I think it would be like discovering a whole new show to come at it from that angle. Anyway, I just found a Chase video that sums up his side of that journey perfectly, and I thought I'd share.
Sadly the vidder doesn't allow embeds, so you'll have to
follow this link to see the vid (The Long Haul, by peaceofdark). It's beautifully bittersweet, and the early years and final episode are tied together brilliantly by showing his inheritance of the big red thinky-ball. (Seriously, Chase picking up that ball at the end of the series MADE MY CENTURY.)
