Sarcoidosis, Lupis, you guys kill me! lol
Just finished the series finale...
Spoiler!
What a freaking great episode. Wonderfully done and I am leaving fulfilled and wet eyed. Just as Eastern Girl said "the story was about Wilson and House" and the set up was like that from the beginning. They came across as life long friends and they will end their relationship as such.
Bringing back the other cast members in a remembrance episode and giving us the clues to the episode history through them was fantastic. Pretty much what you would expect from what the series has offered in the past.
I am such a softy for this show; once I saw Kushner and the realization that the series was going to end I had a dam in my eyes struggling with the back-load! Each old character brought back forced me to remember the story-line through the 8 years and it definitely left that nostalgic feeling. House has consistently struggled with life through these years and finally he was given a choice by his own stupid hand. Of course this is because, and they hint this through Wilson in the cafeteria, only you can change you. Now how much of a lie would it of been if he left that building once he understood and lived life happily ever after right there! Oh that would be such a lie to the loyal fans and to the character House! THERE WOULD BE BLOOD! Nope instead they trick us and make us think he dies right when he has his epiphany! For me instant tears, after-all, "Everybody dies", right? How could they end this brilliant and addictive series in such a stupid predictable way!? Then, as I wipe the tears away, Foreman comes out from the coroner's office and confirms that it is indeed House that had died in the explosion. HA! YOU MANIPULATIVE S.O.B.S! He is not dead and you are just writing with opposites! BASTERDOS!
Still wiping my tears we watch the funeral and listen to each individual talk about House with logic and admiration. Akin to a Vulcan delivery because only a Vulcan can work with such a man who teaches lessons in such a unique and dis-respective way. *And more tissue.* Wow, I know what's happening and I am eating it all up like the dirty hooker and blow House whore I am.
Wilson comes up to the podium and you know he's going to deliver the opposite due to their conversation in the cafeteria, and, because Wilson is Wilson after all. But, that is why we love that do righter! Furthermore, it is what House would have wanted if he was actually dead. House would want to tell everyone to shut up and do something constructive and stop being idiots!
House, without betraying his character, ends up winning from the hand that he is dealt and gets away with it. Spending the last days with his best and only true friend... *I actually grab a tissue again writing this*
Man I will miss this show and I am a picky bugger... I haven't been this emotional about a TV show ever.
