Yeah, when they started the funeral scene, I thought damn, it's not a dream or something crazy, they really did kill him... always have to be ready for the twist, but they had me sold, and I was okay with him dying. But, the ending was classic House, and I'm glad they finished it like that. Sad that it's over... I don't watch a lot of TV, and it's one of the few shows that's held my interest throughout the series.

Classic House.

I knew when the phone rang that he'd pulled a Houdini.

Yeah, that's when I knew. Up until that point, I was 100% convinced that he was dead. It would have been a classic twist of fate and a huge tragedy. House finally wants to change and then dies. I would have been ok with it to be honest, but I liked the real ending too.

Any chance we ever get to see the "uncut" version of the finale? Maybe on the DVD?

...and where's Gonzo? I figured with the finale having happened, he'd have a lot to say in this thread!

I've missed the last 5 episodes. However, I just bought season 8 on Amazon Instant Video, (BEST THING EVAR).
I watched one last night and I should be caught up by tomorrow evening.

Sorry guys, Monday's have been bad.

Any chance we'll ever see a movie?

I'm definitely going to buy all eight seasons on DVD, once they're available.

If you have the chance, check out that Amazon Prime Instant Video. Well worth the price, (70 bucks for a year long membership).
I bought season 8 for 24 bucks.

They have it available to PS3 users and newer DVD players come with the program installed. It's like netflix only better. Tons more choices and a lot of free content. (At least as much as Netflix).

You should have just downloaded the episodes you needed off piratebay or demonoid.

That would be horrible.

He just faked his own death so that he can't go to jail. He can't be a doctor again unless you believe he would turn himself in. Not likely. What would be the point of a movie?

I could think of a movie plot based on the last few months left of Wilson's life.

I don't like the idea, but it could easily be done.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman already did that movie. Pretty good, but it doesn't need a sequel.

Thank God this show is over. What a horrendous finale and final season.

Seasons 1 & 2 = God Tier for a network drama
Seasons 3-5 = one of the best network dramas of the '00s.
Seasons 6-8 = self-parodic, bloated garbage.

The finale was solid, IMO. It was a good way to end House's story with a bit of selflessness on his part for Wilson. The rest of the season not so much (at least the ones I saw, I stopped watching regularly a few years back).


That's pretty much how I view it. House was great in the beginning...would have been fine if it ended after five seasons. Some shows just have a tendency to hang on past their expiration date, though, and this was one of them.

I admit that it would be an odd television show to adapt into film, but properly done, it could be compelling.
