This was his first as a director.

My argument is that the one thing that House wants to be above all else is completely rational, which is what allows him to be what he is. House has always chosen being a more rational person over emotional attachments and becoming a 'better' person, and one of the main themes of the show is that people don't change. They might want to, but they don't.

Three stories (if I remember it correctly) is the episode where they explain how House lost his leg, which I remember as a story on how sick people are capable of making completely insane decisions when it comes to their own health, even if they're trained medical professionals. I think even House admits at some point in that specific episode that Stacy made the correct decision; which is to trick House, against his will, into the most promising treatment. She knows she risks her relationship with House by doing it, but still does it. House on the other hand is suddenly all-caring about his relationship with Wilson, unwilling to risk it even for the benefit of Wilson. This while he regularly risks his entire relationship with Wilson for much more trivial things.

It didn't strike me as the option House would choose, but I kind of find myself rooting against a happy ending. I don't want House to end as a reform story, I want it to end with the same manipulative asshole that gets what he wants because he's right.

Wow that was an amazing episode, really solid acting performances from Wilson and House. Part of me feels sad that Chase is leaving but it's for the best, he definitely "graduated" from working under House.

Does not make much of a difference that he left this episode though considering there is only two left. Can't believe it's been eight years since the first season kicked off, will miss this series a lot. House is one of the most interesting characters ever created.

They said it was his first as a director themselves... Laurie did work behind the camera for the show before, but not as a director.

"House M.D." (2 episodes, 2010-2012)

This show is clearly heading for one hell of a finale. Seasons six and seven weren't all that but season 8 being the last season seems to have rekindled the writer's inspiration.

I'm actually sad that the show is ending. It's been a part of my life for the last four or five years, and easily the best television I've ever seen. I felt the same way when I turned the last page of Harry Potter and the Deathly Gallows. It's that annoying sense of finality.

Seriously where did they say Chase is leaving? Scrubbed through the episode again but cant find anything.

It matters because apparently Cameron is appearing in the finale and Chase won't be there T__T (chameron4lyfe)

Sigh. I don't know if there'll ever be anything to fill the gaping hole in my heart once House ends. GoT is doing a decent job, but House is just irreplaceable ;;

As long as Hugh Laurie doesn't stop doing stuff, I'm fine with the series ending. I've always felt, that all the characters in this show are irrelevant and can easily be replaced without the show suffering from it (except House himself of course). And we can see it throughout the whole series. Characters disappear, reappear but the show does not suffer from it.

But now after 8 seasons, I even feel like Hugh Laurie himself is the most important part. I couldn't imagine any other actor being that awesome in this role. I first saw him in Jeeves and Wooster and Black Adder seemingly a thousand years ago. What an awesome actor.
