What was the swan song thing that aired before the finale? The first hour in the two-hour season finale was really just interviews and videos of the cast. It was pretty funny and cute, but it wasn't part of the last episode. The last episode was just one hour long, like usual. Based on the initial advertising, I thought the actual episode itself was going to be two hours long. Kinda let down by that, but oh well. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Where was Cuddy >< I can't believe that she didn't make an appearance even in his hallucinations if not at the 'funeral', I guess the actress that plays Cuddy was not available to make a cameo How long was House inside the burning building? Would he not have died from smoke inhalation after being unconscious for who knows how long? It seems really unlikely that he would just walk out of there, although i'm not a doctor. | ||

Not sure if we really need spoilers but.. + Show Spoiler + He drove a car into her house when she was in it w/ her family so her not being shown makes sense. Maybe she could have been there as a hallucination but I think Stacey filled that role well enough of being his regret of not having a normal life and the fact he never would. Also we don't know how long he was in the building when it was on fire or how long the fire had been going etc. Most of what occurred was inside his head so it may have been a rather short period of time. He was lying down most of the time so that may have been a factor. | ||

I think Lisa Edelstein left the show over $$ disputes so maybe there's just bad blood between them. You have a point about smoke inhalation but this is one of these common t.v. things that we just overlook. People on t.v. rush into burning buildings all the time. I'm more disappointed that a building exploding for seemingly no reason. | ||

But in the end I'm quite happy that they didn't overdo it and that the show didn't end with big explosions and... oh wait. It did. Anyway, I like that this ending lacks the heaviness of actually ending things. + Show Spoiler + Wilson isn't dead. Thirteen isn't dead. Afterall, House didn't die in this episode. It was also one of the less emotional endings to a T.V. series. Overall, I am happy with it. House has been a great show and I will definitely miss it. I sincerely hope they won't do a Chase-centered follow up but I am calling it. Not now... one day. | ||

House had essentially burned all his bridges. What is he going to do once Wilson dies? He has no family/friends/assets or even credentials. If I stretch for a happy thought it is that this is possibly the only way for him to make an honest fresh start. But lets face it, the long term outlook for House at the end of the episode is suicidally awful. | ||

Other than that, it was a OK finale. But I feel there are more questions asked than answered. Once Wilson dies, house if fucked. No puzzles, no friends, no nothing. | ||

I must have missed it, otherwise they could be implying house killed him and set the whole thing up? Other than that, it was a OK finale. But I feel there are more questions asked than answered. Once Wilson dies, house if fucked. No puzzles, no friends, no nothing. He's changed though. He's always been saying that people can't change, and he just blew the whole thing in one sentence. The fact that he selflessly gave up his life as a doctor, the only thing that makes him forget about his demons, tends to prove that he indeed has evolved. He's gonna be fine. Or not. | ||

I do like that some of the fundamentals of the House character stayed with him until the end: -He went through with a plan and didn't care how others felt about it, as long as he justified it in his own way (even Wilson getting pissed at his funeral showed this- even House's death was selfish). -Things always work out for House (he ends up getting away with it), despite the fact that he ends up burning bridges and becoming more alone all the time (we don't really care what happens to House after Wilson dies, because House is finally happy for once- just to see Wilson off for the last five months of his life). . -He always knew everything, and acted arrogantly because of it (asking Foreman and Wilson for favors but also throwing in their faces the fact that they're so easily manipulated, so then plans fall through and he needs to come up with back-ups). -He didn't succumb to finally believing in God at the end (even going so far as to smack down Pascal's Wager when posed by his ex-wife). -He didn't die to lupus. | ||
