House finale

[fenchurch]

Not quite what I was expecting. I'd figured a lot of the stuff with the patient for being hallucinations fairly early on, since it just seemed to fit, and I also put good odds on the shooter-as-patient as well, since it seemed weird he'd be put in a bed right next to House with no guard. Still, that was a good twist.

missmurchison brought up the interesting point that the whole episode felt very much like the world does when you're in a drugged state after surgery (or in my case, an accident). The episode actually exhausted me, because I kept flashing back to my experiences on the drive from Burley to Provo with my in-laws the day after the accident... when I was drugged out of my mind on pain killers and whacked out due to lack of sleep from pain. It was five hours of teeny micro-dreams that I had a very hard time telling from reality and that kept scaring me awake over and over again, until I was struggling hard to not fall asleep and failing miserably. Ugh. I didn't want to ever think of that again.

That said, I did love the episode... especially how, when you look back on it, everyone was being so logical and reasoning in conversations with House, which makes sense since they were really just projections of his own mind.

This show is a fairly recent addiction for me... I caught an occasional episode last season, but it wasn't until about halfway through this season that I finally got hooked. What that really means is that I've been puzzling over all the people who seemed to be big House/Cameron (I can't bring myself to type H/C, because my fanfic addled brain instantly leaps to hurt/comfort) shippers... I just never saw it (in fact, for me the big source of UST and sparkage seemed to be coming from House/Wilson), until I happened to catch a first season episode in reruns last week and finally saw the one where Cameron basically bribes House into asking her on a date. And then there was tonight, where it's pretty obvious that House's brain is all about undressing her in new and interesting ways. Hmmm. I think it might be time to pick up the first season on DVD.

Oh, I'm so glad I skipped this finale. I hate Cameron (that self-righteous, whining moron) with the heat of 10,000 blinding suns, and even the suggestion that they're thinking of putting her together with House has put the kibosh on the show forever for me. Bleargh. I have no idea why people like such a pallid, talent-free actress or the idiotic, mewling character she plays, but there's no accounting for taste. And I love Hugh Laurie and House so much! Pairing him with (bleh) her is such an insult and disservice to the character -- in other words the writers are really saying that he's like "all men," his lizard brain takes precedent and all he really wants to do is just "tap that ass." Bleah.

I had such high hopes for this show (namely House/Wilson). ::sigh::
