I actually thought the episode was pointless and stupid. And I foolishly expected a little more. The only saving grace was the fact that it was the last one. And that's about the only sentiment I got out of it. It was touching to see Wilson and House riding into the sunset together. Because we all know that that's the true love in his life, and why shouldn't it be? I was happy for them.
But I couldn't get sentimental about one iota of the hallucination psycho babble. Even at the eleventh hour could they just have him fucking admit some truths sheesh? The lack of sincerity was pretty dismal. A bit of that does not diminish the enigma of House. In the end, it's bad writing.
Cameron's happy and she's moved on. Good for her. But, I mean, of course she has. I don't know what to feel about her role in the schemata of House's massive epiphany (an epiphany he's inflicted on himself several times). She was the last one? Did that reveal her place in House's world? I didn't get a sense of that, because nothing he said back to her even acknowledged her at all. God *laughs* Why do I even care??
It reminded me of One Day One Room only worse, because it was repetitive and we learnt absolutely nothing new - which I'm pretty sure they can let us have in the last episode! Also, yeah, House has reached this 'breaking point' before, and that makes it feel a little insincere.
Maybe I'm just feeling really nostalgic and sad (and happy to see Cameron) and that made me more forgiving. I don't know.
I suppose there was enough there to let me make up my own head canon, which is much more than I expected to get from this show. I just find it interesting that he had Cameron tell him she loves him and that she understands his suffering, before telling him to get on with it and fight. I think it says something that she was the one who told him that. He sees her as someone who believes in him.
