I need to write an essay about this episode. Or a novel. Seriously someone needed to write a novel about House's Head/Wilson's Heart, becaue it was utter perfection and I'm afraid I can't find the right words now. But I will try.
WOW.
WOW. WOW. WOW.
They killed me. They practically killed me with all the emotions this epiusode surfaced, and I don't care if someone would say it wasn't like House, it was too sentimental for this show, I don't care because for me it worked and I LOVED IT. All of it. I loved how they handled this and I think I never cried this much about a House episode like I did now.
I think I will ramble, sorry about that, but this ep was so intense, everything is flooding in my brain right now, I feel like my brain would explode, so I will just write my random thoughts.
I loved how the answer to the big question "why were House and Amber on that bus together" was so simple. You could have made wild guesses and big theories about that, but the solution was the most simple and most realistic thing possible. She picked him up because Wilson couldn't go. That's it. How simple and how tragic consequences. LOVED THIS. No affair, nothing. Just that.
Wilson and Amber broke my heart into million pieces. :(((
And now I officially fail to talk about this, this was too much for me, these scenes were so draining and so powerful and such brilliant acting, I feel like crying only thinking about them. :( Look at Kate on my mood icon. That's exactly how I feel now.
I loved that it was practically Wilson's episode. They gave him a chance to show his skills and he did it so brilliantly. RSL was amazing. *adores him* I absolutely felt for him, all his emotions, fears and desperation were so real, I could feel every emotion with him. How he screamed at Cuddy, then cried on Cuddy's shoulders, he said goodbye to Amber, said he loved her (aaaw), he needed to see if House was all right then he went home alone and was reading Amber's note and crying. :((( Oh Wilson, I feel for you. You were simply wonderful.
It was also an amazing episode in terms of the House/Wilson friendship, we got to see how important this is for House. Wilson is maybe the most important person is his life right now. I think there are now only 2 people to whom he's really connected, Wilson and Cuddy, and he was really afraid he could lose one of them. And I don't think he will, Wilson would forgive him, because he needs House too, he couldn't have handled losing him as well, I'm sure about that. I loved to see how House was looking at Wilson ALL THE TIME, so concerned about him, and I loved he was afraid that Amber might die, because he KNEW that Wilson loved her. This is amazing. I don't think he was ever completetly OK with Wilson being with Amber, but he accepted how Wilson loved her and he wouldn't want him being hurt. For House this is huge. And I think now he could understand his loss perfectly. And with Cuddy being next to him, holding his hand I think he finally knows how lucky he actually is.
House and Amber on the bus at the end. King's Cross anyone? I'm not looking for a resemblance intentionally, but for me it was impossible not to think about the King's Cross chapter in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. The idea was quite the same and it worked for House perfectly too. One dead and one living person meeting somewhere between the 2 worlds, one needs to go on and one needs to go back.
Amber saying "everybody dies" was amazing. Twisting House's "everybody lies" like this, and it's also very true, and how she said it with full acceptance, even with a hint of a smile...broke my heart. Anne Dudek was wonderful. Her acting in this scene, I think she could understand the importance of this scene completely.
And I loved that in this conversation House finally said he doesn't want to be in pain, he doesn't want to be miserable, BUT if he doesn't want to be there's a solution to that and it's not dying. That's why Amber told him that he needed to get off the "bus", he needed to go back and how wonderful was that after he got back he had to realize that he's actually not alone? Such a beautiful foreshadowing, because if someone is being loved, is being cared for he couldn't be totally miserable, and CUDDY WAS THERE FOR HIM. Such a breathtaking paralell at the end when we saw Wilson lying alone in bed and House lying with Cuddy next to him holding his hand. I bet he must realize now how lucky he is.
Cuddy. Oh Cuddy. I can't even talk about how heartbreaking she was, when she was just THERE, while she most certainly has other duties, she's dean and hospital administrator, but she wouldn't go away from House's bed, even not after he got back. She needed to be beside him, needed to feel him, to hold on to him, to know he's okay. When she was holding his hand while sleeping was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Amber. :((((
I'm gonna miss you so bad. I really loved her character, the new dynamics she brought to the show, loved her relationship with Wilson and I feel terrible for Wilson now. :(
BUT it's the show's greatness that I could actually forgive them for killing off one of my favourite characters, because they did it so beautifully. I know it sounds weird and I might be not choosing the right words, but I think you know what I mean, they handled it with importance, they didn't take it lightly and there were wonderful scenes in this ep. Yes, they killed her, which is terribly sad, but they also did it in a brilliant episode.
Loved the Chase/Foreman/Cameron little moment, though I had problems with believing all the new ducklings' reactions, but I loved how Chase realized that they should be together at that moment. No matter what they were all concerned about House, and that was real.
All things considered this was a HUGE episode, especially together with House's Head (which I rewatched yesterday and I swear it got even better) and the most perfect season finale this show ever had. I feel so much love for my favourite show now. September couldn't come enough early, I'm already missing them all. :(
