House M.D. (TV Series) Nobody's Fault (2012) User Reviews

A Return To Form

[palindromeemordnilap · 10/10 · 14 February 2012]

Many would say that the quality of House has been declining since season 5. On some levels i'd agree but for me the quality has been good enough to keep watching, its still a mile better than 90% of the shows out there. I feel that the shows worst moments have come since season 5 but the best moments have been spread out through all 8 seasons and "Nobody's Fault" is a clear cut example of this.

I won't reveal much of the plot, but this episode breaks the normal structure of a House episode and excluding season finales/openers, this is the best time they've done it. The script is immaculate, especially the back and forth dialogue between Cofield and House. The acting is superb from everyone involved, with special credit going to Wright, Laurie and Spencer. The directing is magnificent, to the point where the Emmy award winning director Yaitanes called it his "proudest work".

Overall this episode is a fine example of why House is not just a successful show, but also a unique and classic program. "Nobody's Fault" joins an elite group of House episodes such as "Three Stories", "No Reason", "House's Head/Wilsons Heart" and "Broken". The episode's content and quality make it more than worthy of a season finale. I recommend this episode to anyone, but most importantly to those who have lost faith in the show.

9/10

Such a good episode. It changed the air of previous episodes. My jaw dropped when I saw the stabbing to Chase. Wow.

One of the Best Sitcom Around

[ninadbagwe · 10/10 · 11 August 2019]

Many would say that house's quality declined after the 5 th season but like FRIENDS and OFFICE it keeps it's core qualities intact. The comic scene between Laurie, his team and Wilson remains intact. House never loses his way of doing things.

The episode like Nobody's fault shows the acting prowess that High Laurie and Jesse Spencer possess. The director also shows the deep relationship that House, Chase and Foreman have developed over the years. Chase and Foreman both have been with House for a long time and have grown to respect him but they also know House's silent way of caring for them. Last but not the least but bringing in a big gun like Wright definitely made it one of the pitch perfect episode I have seen in any Sitcom.

By far the best of all House M.D.-episodes

[xlars · 10/10 · 24 October 2023]

As any series that are made, episodal and storyline fatigue is a natural happening. The same applies to House M. D. Sometimes a break and restart of the series can be a solution, but not always.

However, and whatever the cause of this fatigue syndrom, it is not always cureable, and sometimes the fatigue sets in earlier rather than later. In House M. D. this fatigue set in around Season 5.

Everything taken into consideration, though, some of the best episodes of the series are found in season/series 8, and of these the episode of the prison/jail-time and this present episode is by far the best.

I won't go much into details here, but as said this episode is by far the best of them all. Enjoy.

Blame the guy not in the room!

Maybe I'm just too old and the world passed me by. I just don't understand at all why Chase blames House for being stabbed. Adams & Chase went rogue and decided to implement theory own theory instead of what House instructed. Chase brought a scalpel in to the room next to a known psychotic patient. He still says he did nothing wring and would bring in the scalpel again, so I guess next time it happens he can blame House for that too. They tried blaming the prank war on it, but it had zero to do with any of the actions that took place. Also, Chase was a willing participant in the prank war. Now in the next episode Chase blames House, Foreman 'understands' if he doesn't want to work for House anymore- because again, its Houses fault for Chase openly defying him and bringing in a dangerous weapon to a room with a crazy guy. Good to know next time I'm in the ER I can stab my doctor and none of the blame will be on me. Of course it will be the fault of the doctors boss 12 rooms down that I stabbed the doctor. House has done a lot of things wrong over the years but its crazy he's blamed for this.

Another useless « offbeat » episode.

I just hate those TV episodes with a storytelling that isn't linear. It's nothing but a cop out to make them last longer than they should, thinking « stylish » structure, and movie thriller's aesthetic, would make a difference. Had the story been told in the usual format, it would've been boring. And lacking true momentum. With lazy writing and an overall generic approach. And as far as House M. D. is concerned, as I often say, even if it triggers people here. The show was at its most efficient, as a run of the mill procedural, with a beginning, a middle and an end. Though the first couple of episodes, and medical cases seemed out of ideas, and apart from the annoying ugly Asian, who can't act. Season 8 has good leads, and one of the show's best « teams ». Nobody's Fault, is another « House » episode, that reminded me of an old Grey's storyline, from season 6. And instead of a whole medical board, including teachers to said students who « screwed up ». You only have one authority figure there, that will decide how the malpractice should be « punished ». Obviously, House sees in this another way to fight the system, with the help of his students. And under the compassionate look of another « bad guy ». So it gave him once again, enough arguments to act like a pompous jerk throughout. How is that any different, from other episodes?...
