Post 210 | House Finale

So the House finale happened on Monday, and immediately afterward I was completely and utterly satisfied. Now, a few days later, I am still absolutely in love with how it ended. It was perfect in nearly every way.

Diving into House's subconscious was a fantastic idea. Taking the people that he has lost over the years and making him basically fight with him. All fantastic. Seeing Kutner, Amber, Stacy, and Cameron all come back was fantastic. I barely missed Cuddy. It would have been really cool for her to show up but I am still really happy with all of it.

Now pulling a full on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was basically the best way for House to go out. House himself killed of House. He decided he could change, stood up and snuck out into the night. He gave up his own light, his "People don't change!" motto, so he could spend five more months with Wilson, his friend.

It was the perfect self sacrificing moment. David Shore and that entire staff made it completely believable that House had died, and up until that phone started going off in the funeral I was completely convinced. But the second that phone went off, I was like "WHAT? YES OH MAN ALL THE APPLAUSE." 

It's weird to try and think about what happens after Wilson dies... What doe House do? Does he go to the funeral and effectively turn himself in? Or does he continue to live in mystery. I imagine him revealing himself to someone like 13, or anyone else he really cared about. As Stacey so wonderfully told us, he believes in love. But maybe just spending his days reading and playing music.

Or perhaps he decides to turn himself in for faking his own death, goes to jail, comes back out, and goes on solving medial mysteries, but as a changed man. 

House was an absolutely wonderful show. It had it's rough patches, but overall it was fantastic. I loved the medical mysteries and House's one liners are more than anyone can count. I look forward to going back and watching the entire thing over again, and I cannot wait for the eighth season to come out on DVD. Insta-buy.

Hugh Laurie, Robert Sean Leonard, David Shore, and the rest of the staff of House M.D., you guys did an amazing job and you have every reason to be proud of what you guys have created for the public to enjoy. I thank you, and wish you all the luck in the world moving forward. If a House reunion happens at some point, I wouldn't be against it.
