Not only are the seven characters completely different in themselves, they would deal with House in contrasting ways, some far more enabling than others. In my opinion the most likely candidates are Foreman and Vogler.
However, this is where it gets tricky in my opinion. On one hand I don't see the board of directors hiring someone who is not strongly authoritative such as Wilson, Taub or Chase. They may be excellent doctors (most of the time) but I don't believe any of them have the 'presence' it takes to run the hospital. Furthermore, the board wouldn't want a DoM who would bow down to House's every whim.
On the other hand, Vogler and Foreman would be strict and have the strength of character it takes to run the hospital and do what needs to be done. However if either of them become DoM, I doubt they would let House back into PPTH. Besides, as Ausiello pointed out, Vogler and his money were thrown out of PPTH in exchange for keeping House. Although I disliked the character because I was of course on our favourite anti-hero's side, the clash would be very dramatic and would make excellent TV. Foreman seems to be the natural successor, having previously been House's "boss". The wildcards seem to be Sam and Dr. Cole who are random choices for DoM in my opinion, neither really 'fitting' the role. They could surprise me though, the writers certainly have done so before.
No one will ever quite fill Cuddy's (Lisa Edelstein) shoes as she was the perfect balance between the strong-willed character it takes to run a hospital and stand up to House (most of the time), and being caring and understanding rather than a cold and solely money oriented boss. It will most certainly be a difficult decision. Of that, I am sure.
Who would be the BEST DoM? Who would be your favourite?
Disculpa si escribo en español :) pero es que tú comprenderás. Ahora sí...
ReplyDeleteTotalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario. De hecho, ahora que lo pienso de esa manera, hay mucho de cierto en tu aclaración; Foreman y Vogler serían los más idóneos para ser los decanos, pero entre los dos me inclino hacia Foreman.
¿Por qué? Pues, ya que ha sido un personaje tan conocido por los fans y que ha aparecido desde los inicios, me parece que Foreman tiene el potencial para amarrarse en los pantalones. Él es también autoritario y con sentido de líder, por su puesto, así que no pueden quedar dudas respecto a él.
Por otro lado, Vogler también representa una estimable competencia; él apareció durante la primera temporada y fue capaz de domar el carácter de House en ciertas situaciones, pero prefiero pensar que este millonario no será el nuevo decano del Princeton-Plainsboro. ¡No me gustaría!
Sin embargo, cambiando de tema, debo admitir que Vogler y Foreman, no son los únicos que alguna vez consideré. Wilson era para mí uno de los potenciales más extensos (antes de leer esta entrada).
En cuanto a Sam Carr, debo admitir que también la he considerado, pero no me convence del todo. Además, por último, Taub, Chase y Cole no son unos posibles decanos. (En mi punto de vista)
Resumiendo y enfatizando, creo que en orden de relevancia el cargo sería así:
Primero, Foreman, por su caractere y dado a que es un personaje que puede contra House.
Segundo, Wilson, aquí la cosa se complica un poco, pero es que a pesar de su comportamiento, tal vez, y sólo tal vez, sería interesante ver como dirigiría el hospital.
Tercero, Vogler, por no tener más ninguna otra opción satisfactoria. Aunque creo que Sam no cuadraría tan mal en este puesto.
Sin más que decir, creo que lo único que falta es felicitarte por este excelente entrada, que expone unas posibilidades bien fundamentadas. ¡Cinco estrellas!
Ahora, sólo basta esperar para saber si revelarán un spoiler que alivie estas especulaciones.
De lo contrario, habrá que esperar hasta Octubre para saber si hemos acertado con las especulaciones.
Saludos.
Thank you so much for your comment! You were not only kind but expressed your own views which are both much appreciated. I speak Portuguese so I can read Spanish but unfortunately not speak/write it. I hope you don't mind me replying in English.
ReplyDeleteI also think Sam could be interesting. When I wrote the post I thought she wouldn't 'fit' the role at all but perhaps they could create a fiery dynamic between her and House which would create tension between Hilson. That would make for great viewing. The depth of their friendship astounds me to this day so I don't believe they will cast Wilson as the DoM. Although he has confronted House in the past he isn't strong enough to stand up to him on a daily basis (which is required). If they did cast him as DoM their dynamic would alter which could ruin something spectacular.
Foreman and Vogler are still front runners for me. Vogler can practically buy his way in and Foreman at least challenges House (and would relish the opportunity to torture him after all House put him through).
I trust that no matter whom they choose it will be a rocky road. I foresee drama at the beginning of S8...and bargaining, lots of bargaining.
Creo que entendí la mayoría del comentario, salvo algunas partes que me confundieron, pero al menos entiendo lo que me quisiste decir.
ReplyDeleteCiertamente estamos en una situación en la que, como dices, no importa mucho a quien elijan. Estoy casi seguro que los productores no nos defraudaran a la hora de crear la historia.
¿Qué opinas tú? A mi parecer será interesante saber quien será el afortunado, si así puede decirse. :)
I agree, I can't wait to find out. It will change the entire dynamic of the hospital regardless of whom they choose. It will completely determine how House will act and react. I also have faith in the writers' abilities. I think they will surprise us.
