Clair wins the prize for best resolution/explanation. I can’t see how he survived the fireball, either–and he fell like 20 feet through the floor.

I need some help, here. What did I miss with Lisa Edelstein? Her cameo piece in “Swan Song” was just weird. It was like she was Photoshopped into the show. Did everyone just hate her so much for leaving that she couldn’t come back for the finale? Was she fired? I never liked Cuddy much, but now I’m just confused.

Loved “Swan Song.” I will always heart Hugh.

I guess I’m in the minority for liking the last season. Charlyne Yi was a brilliant cast addition, and really lightened things up. Her friendship with Chase was charming. Wilson’s cancer was a little over the top for me–like being pounded with a hammer. But the ride into the sunset was perfect. No tears, here. It was all entertainment to me. : )

I stopped watching after this season’s premiere for the same reasons. And I also tuned in to the finale to say goodbye. At least we didn’t have to watch W die.

Yes, it was nice to see her there, at least.

Wilson’s dying? That’s sad!! I gave up watching sometime shortly after Cuddy left – much as I love Hugh Laurie’s work, I grew tired of House and his manipulative ways. It seemed like he always somehow ended up off the hook, no matter how damaging or hurtful his behaviour was. Given the number of times the writers took us on hallucinogenic trips, I like Clair’s idea. I’ll probably tune in when it airs here so I can have closure!

I thought the series “jumped the shark” a while ago. However, I have enjoyed this season and the finale was everything that I wanted it to be. Cuddy was certainly missed, but well represented in the retrospective which I thought was well produced!

I liked the behind-the-scenes episode, too. It was a little disorienting to see Hugh dressed like House, looking like House, but talking in Hugh’s voice, which is quite different from House’s voice, not just in accent but in tone. When I see/hear him at awards shows, looking dashing in a tux, my brain identifies him as Hugh Laurie and expects the accent. When he’s scruffy on the show, my brain says, “That’s House” and expects him to speak like House. The juxtaposition of the two was interesting.

And then there’s the fact he fell through the floor and busted both legs, it looked like. How fast could he run out the back door?

Oohh, interesting theory on the end being Wilson’s fantasy. That would’ve been quite devastating if we found out it was all part of a morphine haze he was in…right before he flatlines. NOW I’m crying.

Yeah…ok…and he said he got out the back. But when he was lying on the floor, he was surrounded by flames…so how did he get downstairs unscathed? And from whom did he acquire the heroin? The patient? I dunno…one of the things I used to like about the show was the attention to detail, and this seemed to just throw all that out the (back) window 😉

Yes, dear, we discussed this last night. Who knows? Maybe he will still self-destruct after Wilson dies.
