  • this whole season has been just depressing...

    9.5
    "Superb"

    this whole season has been just depressing...

    I gave it a good rating nonetheless because simply put it was a great episode. However, one thing I'm starting to dislike about house is the overall feeling you get when you watch it. Now when I get done watching house I just feel down..it's like super dark and what not. I'm sure most of you can concur even if you like it that way.

    side note: what's up with cuddy at the end? I assumed it was definitely real because even house questioned it as being a possible hallucination..but after reading the reviews I'm starting to wonder. I definitely don't like that idea...

    I liked the first 3 seasons (and even the fourth) because it was just good stories, good cases a stronger balance of plot energy (for lack of better words I suppose). One could say the show was a lot funnier in those days. Looking back on this season I can't remember the last time I laughed while watching an episode. A couple moments here and there perhaps but beyond that the show is too somber.

    I say bring back the House that did anything he could to escape clinic hours and popped too many vicodin.

    I have high hopes for the 7th season but if the show continues onward down its current path I might become disinterested... :Omoreless

  • Out of character, jumped the shark or simply character development?

    House season finales tend to be epic. Last 2 seasons, the finales were actually season savers. For this 6th season, my first feeling is that it was a weird episode. The setting , character decisions and outcome felt kinda out of place. Is it a good thing or not, that`s debatable.
    The biggest change here is the Dr. House character himself. Everything he did here FELT pretty much out of character, or was it? Season 6 introduced a new House so to speak, the changes were apparent at the start. In this respect, the events (character wise)of the last 2 episodes of this seasons were quite logical. The thing is that the procedural nature of the show meant they could not just change the character throughout. Fact is that in the middle of the season, we had a somewhat same House as the previous seasons, the therapist angle was inexistent, everything House went through at the end of last season were almost forgotten. And in the pre-finale, the therapist returned and the change in House became relevant again. IMO the events and decisions of the finale are logical given the character development House has been going through. The only hic is that the change was not progressive enough. So it may have felt out of character but it was not really. However has the show jumped the shark? Time will tell. House-Cuddy relationship offers some interesting premises but it might very well not work at all and change what actually made the show so good in the first place. But again, time will tell.
    Overall season 6 is a step up from last 2 seasons. It was great to have the whole team back for a run this season. It is the winning formula and I wished they`d keep it that way. What differentiates this season from the last 2 is its consistency. Very enjoyable how the played with House this season, 6 seasons and the character is all so fresh. The finale was great but not as epic as the last 2...but the fantastic premiere makes up for that. Can`t wait to watch season 7.moreless

    Wow.. where should I begin.. what an utter load of fance service cerap. The whole second half of the episode was like I wasn't even watchin House, more like Grey's Anatomy. I mean trough out the season the changes in House's personality have been suddle and now *boom* in an instance after Cuddy's little drama act House becomes a nice guy? And the in the end Cuddy magically appears into his appartment. And after one 'selfless act' Cuddy is willing to throw away a relationship that has lasted the past season. This episode sunk the series to a new level of low. Only good thing is that we might actually get rid off thirteen.moreless

  • One of the weakest episodes. Ever.

    So the answer to House's great midlife/existential crisis, to his years-long search for relief and redemption, to his unending pain, is Cuddy?!? Let me guess, it was "bring your teenage daughter to work day" and the writers let a bunch of lovestruck 16-year-olds work out the plot.

    And the words... the words have all been said before. Cuddy's little "I love you" speech to House was particularly cheezy and unoriginal.

    With this ham-fisted attempt at crowd-pleasing romance, the writers (who are usually so great with layers and subtlety) have turned House into just another TV drama cardboard cutout. Next thing you know they're going to start doing crossover episodes with Private Practice.moreless

  • I hope that House stay's on for a long time to come, it's one of the best hit series that has hit the television screen in a very long time

    House is one of the best on screen Dr's that has hit the screen since Marcus Welby. He's arrogant , but yet one of the most sensitive and inteligent DR's, that will remembered for years to come. Let's hope that they keep him around for seasons to come. I look for him to come out with his own private practice of his own, Just like DR Addison grey did.He tells tell it just like it is, and I love it. He's funny and brillaint all at that the same time. He's just AWESOME! Keep up the good work! I look forward to every new episode, and i also enjoy the reruns. Whoever writes the scrips , my hat goes off to you. The shows a 11 in my book.

    Thanks Karen

    • House: Is that a pill in your pocket, or are you just happy to have a tiny pill-shaped penis?

    • House: So I hope I didn't weird you out giving you that gift. Dr. Cuddy: Can we talk about this later? House: Of course. (waits a moment) Is now later?

    • Hanna: Can I ask what's wrong with your leg? House: Crane fell on it. Small world. Hanna: You could have just said no. House: I'll remember that for my next human contact.

    • Hanna: Would you pray with me? House: No. I'm not in the habit of encouraging my patients' superstitions. Hanna: How is that a habit? You plan on getting trapped under a building again? House: I don't believe in God. Hanna: I don't either.

    • Hanna: I always thought... if I did the right thing, if I treated people right, then good things would happen to me. You think that's how it works? House: I didn't use to. Then recently I tried... now I don't know.

    • Hanna: You think we could be friends when I get outta here? House: Sure. We'll catch a ball game or... group sex show or something.

    • Dr. Cuddy: What are you clinging to, House? You're gonna risk her life just to save her leg? Really worked out well for you, didn't it? What do you have in your life, honestly? Tell me. I'm moving on. Wilson is moving on. And you... you've got nothing, House. Nothing.

    • House: You asked me how I'd hurt my leg. I had a blood clot, and the muscle was dying. And I had all these doctors telling me I should amputate, and I said no, and they did this... very risky operation. I almost died. Hanna: But you saved your leg. House: I wish I hadn't. They cut out a chunk of muscle about the size of my fist, and they left me with this mutilated, useless thing. I'm in pain... every day. It changed me. Made me a harder person. A worse person. And now... now I'm alone.You don't want to be like me.

    • House: We thought the problem was in his toilet--by that, of course, I mean his head. Which distracted us from the fact that it could have been just a clog in his sewer pipe. And by that of course, I mean his spinal cord. And blah, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea.

    • Dr. Cuddy: I'm stuck, House. I keep wanting to move forward. I keep wanting to move on, and I can't. I mean, my new house, with my new fiance, and all I can think about is you. I just need to know if you and I can work. House: You think I can fix myself? Dr. Cuddy: I don't know. House: 'Cause I'm the most screwed-up person in the world. Dr. Cuddy: I know. I love you. I wish I didn't. But I can't help it.
