Whew! The two part House season finale certainly put me through the wringer. It was hard to top last week’s fantastic episode, but Monday’s second installment came close. In a surprising but appropriate turn of events, the show traded in its patented barbs in favor of non-stop urgent drama, and the result left me, well, a bit verklemped. Somehow, I managed to just barely keep my composure, but man, it was hard.
The finale event capped off a top-notch season, in my humble opinion (there should be an acronym for that). I’m not sure if there were necessarily as many breathless medical cases as in seasons past, but the character drama was nothing less than engaging. I loved the conceit of House whittling down his minions until we were left with just “Thirteen,” Kutner, and Taub. Granted, I always felt like there should have been room on his team for “Cutthroat Bitch,” but as we all know, the writers managed to find new and interesting ways to integrate her into the story (sniffle sniffle). Oh, and don’t get me wrong, there certainly were some great medical stories too, but I just didn’t feel like they were the star of this season.
Nevertheless, what did you all think about the season finale? Anyone need a tissue? What will happen to House and Wilson’s friendship? And what about Kutner’s past and Thirteen’s test results? So much to discuss.
