Tritter v House


They were basically had the same character fault, but Tritter removed people's ability to do their jobs to try to get his way.

reply

True, but ultimately the character was extremely poorly written and hard to connect with. He was a detective but lacked the deductive reasoning that House had and seemed to have no clue how the legal system worked.

reply

I agree it was probably the intent but I also agree the character didn't live up to that.He also engaged in an abuse of power because House didn't show him any deference,he was personally motivated to go after House.The outcome with House is usually a life is saved. Big difference.

reply

Tritter was also trying to save lives because he was assuming the drugs were distorting House's judgement. But we all know that House wasn't dangerous.

reply

I know that was his claim and I think if that was the route they had gone it would have been interesting. The problem I had with it is Tritter made it very personal after House disrespected him.That's how it started.I wish they would have gone with a different actor to play Tritter as well.

The twitter arc is the dividing line between House's best years and the very slow decline that would come. The characters got shaken up quite a bit and for some reason, after the arc, Huddy became this big rage despite knowing that "ships" hurt shows.

reply

They had the opportunity to do something really interesting with Tritter - have House go up against someone in a position of power who truly cares about rules and ethics, and isn't willing to look the other way just because House is good at diagnosing people.

But they had to make Tritter a grating, soulless pig who was drunk on his own power, and was going after House because of a personal grudge.

reply

Agreed

Exactly they could have had an interesting story arc and a character of integrity instead we got a big A- Hole with Tritter.

You guys can say what you want about Tritter, but he's still the best House antagonist in the entire series.

I loved Tritter! I was on board from the second he knocked Houses cane out from under him. He was ruthless and knew how to get results... up til Cuddy on trial.

reply

not sure exactly what position tritter held in the police but can they just create their own cases if they see a doctor taking pain medication and mistreat them during a checkup?

reply

I loved Tritter, they should have done deeper story with him,
House being so annoying "know it all" deserved his treatment...
in fact if they didn't do such stupid court thing with Cuddy saving his
arse which I doubt would pass in reality, as Cuddy would be either
punished with House to jail or removed from her title position in hopital

the ending was poorly made and dumb

reply

If it's based on reality the case would have never made it to court. There were serious cases of entrapment involved.

One of the many things that bothered me about the Tritter arc was how the case hinged on House's stash of pills.

All those were prescribed and each bottle would have a date on it. He may have had dozens of bottles but House even said he stockpiled them in case Wilson and Cuddy decided to shut him off to punish him for some random reason they came up with.

Some of those pills could've been from months before that he hadn't taken or thrown out. If they wanted to make it an actual issue, they could've mentioned that several had the same date on them or were all from a one or two week period. Otherwise it was meaningless.

Another blatent error was how easily Tritter was able to just walk into the hospital and get his hands on patient medical records. Not only that, he had a stack of them in an unsecure location. What if he decided to take a lunch or bathroom break and just left them all out in the open for anyone else to see.

I realize it's tv and they take liberties for story telling. But even Cuddy isn't so blatently incompetent to allow some random cop access to patient medical records. Or maybe she is. Either way, the (sometimes non-existent) hospital lawyers would've had that tied up in court for like ever.

No she doesnt.

I thought the Tritter arc is a big hole in the series.

No way the hospital and their lawyers would have not gone to the D.A. to get the overly zealous bully cop shut down.

They didnt even try.
