I'd rather have a concrete finish, but that's just me.

I wouldn't call it fulfillment. Its more something to peak his interest. Its only a puzzle or a game to him. He'd get more fulfillment from being a musician.

I disagree. I think he derives a sense of purpose from his job.

I do too. I'm so invested in these characters.

Only in the sickest sense of the word. He cares nothing for the patients, only the fact that their diseases spur his intellect. If they die, he's only angry because they beat his intellectual challenge. He chooses many of his patients just to prove his morose view of life to everyone. That's not a sense of purpose, its a bitter vindication of his world view. He could get as much sense of purpose from a video game.

Be it altruistic or misanthropic. He definitely derives a sense of purpose from his work. He came back to PPB twice after pivotal points in his life. Once after an extended stay at Mayfield. Once after an extended stay in prison. That job makes him tick. I do think in some small way he honors the humanity of his patients.

I seriously can't believe it'll all be over after tonight.
I feel like I'm on the verge of ending a long-term relationship.

I don't like that it ended. House is the first TV show I can remember that I've watched from start to finish as it aired. I've watched other's on dvd and netflix, but you don't become as emotionally attached as you do to a series you wait every week to watch. |

Great ending. I figured (and was also kind of hoping) a few weeks back it would be some kind of self-sacrifice on the part of House for Wilson, but I wasn't sure how they would do it. Having him give up his puzzles to spend those last five months with him was just perfect. House always did have a heart and selfless, empathetic side deep down, he just hid it from everyone around him.
While I think the show dipped in quality in the last few years and perhaps should have ended after 5-6 seasons, it still had a very good run. House was a fantastic character. |

I do too, surprisingly. I thought I wanted House dead.
I thought I wanted a concrete finish, but I was wholly satisfied with that ending.
