Last episode of House
No spoilers, I am as unspoilered as anyone else who saw the promo.
So I assume they are going to kill House tonight. They've killed him in almost every season finale, it would seem a bit weird not to kill him for the series finale. I just hope whatever they end up doing tonight is good, it was a good series it deserves a good ending. (I want to say it was a great series but..Tritter, Huddy, etc.)
Hugh Laurie was awesome all the way through though, no matter what the writers threw at him. I'm sure tonight will be no exception.
I'm particularly attached to this series and to the character of House and not just because I would happily watch Hugh Laurie read the Sunday Times. We started watching it during a time when I was very sick and waiting to find out what was going on with me that was causing all sorts of delightful nuero symptoms. And, because life is not House, we had weeks and months of time to kill in between MRIs and various fun tests. (Spinal taps? Surprisingly not as bad as they look. Though to be fair they look pretty darned heinous.)
It was a nice bit of escapism to watch a show that takes place in a world where tests results come back in minutes not weeks. And where a team of doctors literally worked together in one room to figure out what was going on rather than sending each other emails and memos. When my PT had me start using a cane (it was that or I was not allowed to go outside by myself though I'd like to know how my HMO expected to enforce that) we joked that we would tell people I was just a really big House fan. (Never happened- people were nervy enough to ask about my cane but I wasn't nervy enough to be a smart aleck about it. Nowadays I just tell people I have balance issues, telling people you have MS is just asking to hear either about their friend who died within six months of being diagnosed or their second cousin who has it but "Doesn't let it get him/her down" and "still runs marathons" Mazel tov. My favorite are the people (yes, more than one) who look at me quizzically and say "You have a mess?"
But I digress. I will miss House the character, it was cathartic to see him railing against his pain and his body failing him instead of keeping a stiff upper lip like everyone expects people to do.
