House S5 finale
It's hot, it's cold, it's rainy, it's windy...it's inconsistent =/
Shit! It actually was a hallucination! The detox was waaay too short and lacking fallout, I know, but the Huddy stuff being part of the fake-out, didn't think they'd really take that route. I know before Cuddy and House got together the idea was floating around that the two of them together was a hallucination as well, but with the crazy amount of buildup the show had put out - man, that media onslaught was crazy - I figured they were just gonna go the Huddy way for a bit. Why else would they be pushing towards it all season? To enrage a good portion of their audience, probably (not me, but whatever), and misdirect. Mission accomplished there (it actually irks me to write that phrase, for obvious reasons). any of this episode actually happen? Was the patient a metaphor for House? I'm going to rewatch last ep again to see the ending (and creepy Hallucination!Amber), see the divergence. Definitely gotta rewatch this one as well. Did he actually talk to Wilson about sleeping with Cuddy, but it was all a figment of his imagination that the faithful oncologist didn't realize? And did Wilson and Cuddy have that interchange about the billing, which was actually just about Cuddy being upset at House for his cruel words, not for sleeping with him? Did Carl Reiner's sweet old man actually exist? Oh man, oh man =D
So he's gone to detox in a psychiatric hospital, right, 'cause with the ability to create a whole alternate reality (stretching a bit, but he did create an entirely different 24-48 hours complete with Ghost!Fellows at the end; hey, Ghost!Kutner, nice to see you!), those are some powerful Vikodin toxicity effects. The end was so sad, with Wilson taking all his personal effects, in front of that scary looking building. All dark and depressing, which contrasted quite nicely with the bright and beautiful wedding between Cameron and Chase and their happiness (finally; that sperm thing was annoying).
Will the hallucinations be gone by next season, then? Must be, if he'll be able to practice again. On methadone or nothing, I wonder. Going into this ep, with the promos, I was expecting the twist to be Cuddy firing him, was glad when she did, he was such a jerk; and then it turns out to be totally different. I liked it, 'cause I don't really like House/Cuddy, though his desire for some sort of romantic (?) connection with her, was sorta sweet, his mind creating a pleasant (?) dream for him, only he wasn't asleep. Which is absolutely terrifying, really; yeah, the patient must have been a metaphor.
Cool, thought-provoking episode. Now, bring on LOST and its purported game-changing finale (how much more can it actually change things, I wonder).
Ah, to have a Tivo right now would be great. Maybe Fox will move House to a different night again so I don't miss HIMYM every week ::sigh::
