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.

Sharing Is Caring
when House cries, I cry.
p.s. a LOT
Oh My I was very close to tears. I felt so bad for Wilson. I hope he forgives house. One question. Was Amber's illness just from the pills or did the accident contribute?
I really want House and Cutty to get together.
it was both - her kidneys were so damaged in the bus crash that they couldnt metabolize the medication so she essentially overdosed. and dialysis wouldnt work because that particular drug binds to the proteins, so you cant flush it out. (am i a nerd? yes, yes i think i just might be)
Is it bad that I still get a little choked up when I think back on the episode? I wanted to bawl. The only thing that kept me from not doing it was an overwhelming sense of shame and embarrassment.
Oh man, I agree. This was a great season finale and I certainly got a little misty toward the end. I'm glad it was essentially about House and Wilson, since their relationship is the most important one in the show.
Also, for a second there, I thought we were going to find out 13's name and it was going to be "Sheri" but that turned into "Sherry's Bar," instead. Oh well! We may never know!
B-Side!! The only thing you should be ashamed of is NOT bawling. ROBOT!
I forwarded through the final moments between Wilson and Cutthroat bitch, because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it.
I'm all for a Cuddy/House relationship.
I was okay until Wilson was laying in bed with Amber and said, "I can't do this." Then I completely came unglued.
I watched both shows again last night, just basking in its awesomeness. And yes, it was just as good the second time around.
If no one wins an Emmy for this, my ass will be pedaling to Hollywood with my rage set to "Punish."
I agree sista-friend!
Awesome finale to a great season.
Thirteen was going thru some issues and everyone's reaction to Amber was totally believable.
Wilson and Amber's final scenes were so sad. The show did make me cry.
Cuddy holding House's hand in the end was so sweet. I'd love for those two to get together.
I agree about the Emmy.
