House does everything for himself, Lightman does everything for other people. House claims that 'everyone lies' and the way he says it makes it seem absolutely wrong even thought we know he himself lies all the time, Lightman encourages lying because sometimes lying is the better alternative to telling the truth and other times it needs to be detected. House isn't too close to his parents, Lightman wishes he could have been closer to his mother. House is antisocial, Lightman is compassionate. If there is any similarity, it is in the fact that they are almost completely opposite people and both would do almost anything to get to the bottom of things. Very intellectual characters.   See 5 other replies

Seems like everything reminds people of house. I am huge house fan myself and I don't go into episodes and coming out with "Oh look this guy reminds me of house". Everybody has a bit of house in them some people repress it better than others. Sick of seeing "House copycat" around these discussion boards. He doesn't remind me of house at all. I don't know why because they do have similar characteristics but they seem very very very different to me. Maybe it is because those characteristics were built differently and used in different ways and for different purposes. I hate to say it but not everything is about house, or copying house.   See 5 other replies

Since I've started watching this show, I can't look at people the same way! It's amazing how much you can learn about a person just by being able to correctly interpret their body language. I took a few tests on the subject, found out I'm capable of spotting fake smiles 19 times out of 20. Need a little work on the Microexpressions though....hehGreat show, Tim Roth rocks! Keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching!
Cheers!   See 6 other replies
