[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 3521892, member: 4550"] Because I love alignment discussions, and I love [i]House, M.D.[/i] I have seen every episode of seasons 1 and 2, and a couple since then. Is the show in its third or fourth season right now? [b]Gregory House:[/b] Chaotic Good, though sometimes/some episodes leaning toward Chaotic Neutral. He definitely makes sacrifices for others, putting his own career and life on the line in order to save and help others. Although, there have been a few times where he hasn't bothered, and CN seems to apply better. The episode with the Munchaussen's patient at the beginning, when she collapses at the racetrack, and House refuses to help until the race is over... That's even bordering on Chaotic Evil. For the most part, however, Chaotic Good. My favorite exemplar of this was when he blackmailed the surgeon in order to get a transplant for his patient. Then, after the surgery, House told the wife that her husband was cheating on her [i]anyway[/i]. House, in almost every episode and every circumstance, does the "right" thing. [b]Cuddy:[/b] Lawful Good, definitely. She is the foil to House, and although she gives into him most of the time, I don't believe it's due to a compromise in alignment so much as the precedence of the Good portion of her alignment, and knowledge that House is better at medicine than she is. [b]Wilson:[/b] Neutral Good, definitely. He's the moderator between House and the rest of the world. [b]Carmen:[/b] Neutral Good. She focuses on whatever would be best for the patient in a general sense, not necessarily just their illness. She is sometimes Chaotic when it comes to doing "whatever it takes" as well as lying to make people feel better. However, she is also Lawful when it comes to policies or promises that are made for the benefit of the patient (the NDA episode, for example). [b]Foreman:[/b] Lawful Neutral, though there have been some definite tendencies toward Evil. He is just as much a foil to House, as Cuddy. [b]Chase:[/b] True Neutral, and I see no Evil tendencies. He doesn't even practic medicine because he wants to help people. He's smart and applies it, but other than that just does what he wants and is out for himself. He never goes out of his way to hurt people in order to do so. [/QUOTE]
