Hm. Yeah, last night was the most Housian episode in a painfully long time. So it gets my vote for that. Hearing House tell Hadley she's fired can't be that much better, can it?
I liked finding out where the Houserents actually lived now. I wish I knew why House seems so ambivalent toward his origins in the case of his mother, but would readily hurl them at his father. It looks to me like she was really no better than John was, as far as shunting aside House's wishes and/or needs to facilitate her own comfort. The fact that House doesn't complain about any of the underhanded acts against him at all says a lot, too. I have theories about his relationship with his mother and none of them are at all pleasant. They bleed over into his handling of what Wilson and Cuddy do to and about him and it's terribly distressing to actually think about

myself, i didn't need all the backstory--nor will i analyze it ad nauseum. i'll just add it into 'what we know,' and go from there. my brain can't handle any more than that.
But analyzing ad nauseam is...okay, I'm going to refrain from quoting Mal Reynolds from Serenity, but I don't think I'll be able to help thinking it over. I'm just like that.
Even though I programmed my recorder to run five minutes past the hour, I LOST THE END OF THE LAST SCENE. I was heartbroken. It got as far as "You figured out your father wasn't your birth father?" and then POOF. AUUUUUGGGHHH.
Stupid FOX, shoving the extra commercials into House so that Fringe doesn't have to deal with 'em. I'll know better next time and set the timer to stop at 8:10 instead of 8:05.
Meanwhile.
I had this flash of a scene in my mind this morning, Wilson showing up at the hospital expecting to pick up a fully conscious House and being pretty horrified, seeing Cuddy wheel a gurney out.
"What!? Is he all --"
"He's fine. He'll be out for at least an hour."
"You drugged him?! Cuddy, you can't --"
"I did. Are you taking him, or not?"

And he never told House because he figured House would never believe it hadn't been Wilson's idea.
We're in different time zones, and I think it ran a little differently in Central time, because Perspi, who also "pads" her recorder time, had the same thing happen.
BUT!! hithah posted the last scene, late last night, and I have now lost track of how many times I've watched it. OH MY. I haven't seen Wilson look at House like that in ... gah. Way too long. So much love, AND so much love for the fact that he's not coming back because House is "needy" but because of what House gives him.
I just saw Epi 1 of season 5 and currently I'm not in the mood to watch the others. Hm, I've never thought that I would come out of Houses's spell but it seems it happens with the first epi of season 5. I don't want to watch how Wilson hurts House again and again and again and again. So maybe those epi can bring me back under the spell of House but first I've to watch the other ones. Grrr, and I'm not into the right mood to do that. Well, maybe in the weekend or not. Who knows? But thank you. You let me think about watching the last House epi's.
i know what you mean, and the best word i can think of to describe how all this is making me feel is ambivalent. i want to continue adoring the show, and i want to adore the current house and wilson as much as i adored seasons one and two house and wilson. but the writers aren't exactly making it easy, are they? sigh.....
Which I prefer to see as a silent agreement by Wilson that the pills are for pain. Whoa--what a concept! Oh, how I wish this indeed is true... I'm getting so sick & tired of Wilson not taking House's pain seriously! Apart from this, I haven't seen the episode yet, and frankly, all I've read about season 5 so far mostly makes me want to cry or to throw stuff at Wilson. Hopefully it all goes uphill from this point!
i'm hopeful as well, and attempting a bit of optimism. but i believe i had my hopes set too high for this episode, so it's difficult to maintain a balance between optimism and realism. sigh.....

And I liked the rest of your thoughts on the episode.
