Agreed, but not to his demons, I thought the presumed ending of house deciding to go against his whole philosophy and embrace change, walking away from the fire and death with cathartic purpose, only to end up dying as the house collapsed around him was far more dramatic.

I'm kind of torn. On one hand, I like that he got to spend the last few months with Wilson. On the other hand, I wish they'd kill him.

Here's how my final House episode would have been; Wilson is dead or dies in the beginning of the episode. House gets some sort of parole or something to go to his funeral, and than bails. He self-destructs without Wilson. 13 comes to him, obviously in a very bad way, having trouble walking and even speaking normally. She asks House to end her, and he later obliges. House is shown contemplating suicide. Everybody Dies. (not really, but you get the point :D) We see the surviving characters at the funeral, and that's a wrap. Kind of dark, but that's House for you.

I'm damn well gonna miss House. One of the best characters to ever appear on television. Great show.

The last season might have been the best one. Really enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Liked the ending. Much better then i could fantasize. So sad it's over

I don't know how anyone can have this opinion... This season was easily the most poor written season of House ever done. The only one that comes close would be the previous season. You could watch the last 3 episodes of this entire season and you wouldn't miss any plot development with the exception of Chase leaving, which didn't even feel all that special anyway. I don't think I could be more disappointed with how they decided to end the show.

I like your idea! Just to elaborate on my idea being put into your storyline:

He obliges putting the needle in Thirteen and she dies, thanking him... then he reflects with his subconscious on how everything he knows and loves is gone (Wilson is, "the puzzle" isn't, etc.), and then the camera closes in on him holding the needle up to his face, clearly considering suicide.

Then the screen goes black, and the show ends.

I think that would have been awesome

EDIT: Also, House would probably have to fuck up Wilson's funeral somehow. By calling him an idiot in a eulogy or whatnot. Typical House not conforming to social constructs. Like what Wilson did at House's funeral, although that was out of frustration rather than personality trait

If I had written this finale:

When House fell from the second floor, he would have broken his leg. His inner struggle would have also included Chase, who is in some twisted way, very much like a son to him. While he crawled for the door, Wilson and Foreman would be coming up the street. When the door opens, House and Wilson meet eyes as the roof comes down on top of him. His top half still exposed, they pull him from the fire. As a result from the injuries, House has to finally have his leg amputated. Due to the recovery, House is able to spend months with Wilson in the Hospital. As Wilson gets sicker, House's health improves. Not only is House slowly learning to live without his best friend, but also his leg(his two greatest fears). House has the same realization, that he can change, but the struggle should be so emotional that he breaks down next to Wilson and confesses all to his best friend. Show ends scrolling over the Hospital beds, showing them both. One weakened by cancer, the other pride/fear.

My reaction to the finale is "meh" but I agree on how it was done; with House facing his inner self, because the series was interesting in my opinion mainly because of House's personality and to finally face his inner demons seemed appropriate.

Seems kinda weird to come back from the brink of death and then go and overdose. Not to mention, would he really share his heroin with House?

Seems a bit off to me.

He was willing to take the fall for the ticket prank for House, I think he can share his heroin.

And he said "I won't stop doing drugs" or something like that. Also, what else can you do in this junkyard / house.

I loved the whole imagery behind the finale, it had a lot of deep metaphors and classic elements to it, it really made you think. From the fall into hell, to Cameron the temptress it was deeper than most people realize

The show has always been about House and Wilson's enduring friendship. Take a look at the opening scene of the pilot episode and then look at the final episode

I'm okay with how House ended. I mean, it could have been worse.

I don't think he survived. I think House actually died and everything else was a hallucination or something.

1. He was the only one in that building.
2. No way he "went out the back way" with a collapsing structure around him and a limp.
3. The last song was the same song Amber sang to him in his hallucinations at the end of Season 5.
4. His riding off into the sunset with Wilson is symbolic; House is dead and Wilson is going to die, and they're going together into the great unknown.
5. Pre-death hallucinations have already been established for House, in the "Three Stories" episode in season 1. He basically saw the future in the ideal light.
6. If I remember it right, House didn't limp when he met Wilson, which is indicative of a hallucination (in terms of the series).

I just think the ending is more ambiguous than people might think. Unless I'm just crazy!

10/10 would read again

In all seriousness, that would have been more fitting >_>

Just watched it, wp in my opinion. Left it open to interpretation, so you can take what you want out of it. I know the Lost finale wasn't well received but I completely agree with what JJ Abrams said in a interview about the way they ended the series, "in the end you won't satisfy everyone". + Show Spoiler +
yeah, the ending fucking blew imo, but it was the quote I was going for, not the implementation lol

I think they did a good job considering, I personally really liked the 4 visions they chose. And I also approved of Wilson's "Real Talk" at the funeral, it was pretty important to me to include it at the very end, with nobody to answer to. Over the course of the series there were things I didn't disagree with here and there, but overall I would say it was a worthwhile way to waste my time and that's really what counts >.>

1. He wasn't the only one in there. The heroine overdose guy was.
2. Yeah it seemed to fall directly on him, but its TV, what can you do?
4. Riding into the sunset is generally symbolism for a happy ending, not death.
6. Just looked it over. He limps to his motorcycle.

I'm pretty sure he didn't die. That would be a stuipd way to end it. "IT WAS ALL A DREAM!"

I guess the ending was alright. The ending written above on this page is probalby better -- he should have got rid of that leg.
Still, can't complain. It was believable and it wasn't bad.
Was expecting Masters to play a bigger role (ie: some role) in the final episode. Instead she was just there.

Bye House. I'll miss you.
