House MD

It was my favourite drama. I was always fascinated by the intriguing medical mysteries, the maverick main character, Dr. House, who never ceases slating his team and mocks his patients when opportunity comes - or not. And the tolerant good friend - Dr. Wilson - who has been benevolent enough to minister to him when necessary, even though being mocked, humiliated, and sometimes insulted repeatedly, or framed for wrongdoings, and many more imaginable events.

And then, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the Dean of Medicine who was the one who hired him but had to tolerate  his pesky doings and sometimes crime. And.....well......the list goes on.

I have watched till Season 5, and stop watching the series entirely after 6 episodes of Season 7. The show has gone downhill after Season 4, and the lack of presence of Chase, Foreman and Cameron exacerbates it. The humour has gone flat in many cases, and has reduced tremendously to the point the show is no longer famous for its humours.

Anyway, since it's the series finale - why not watch it? I've watched how it begins, I shall watch how it ends, even though I didn't watch the process of it.

It continues where the previous episodes ends. House is trapped in a building with a drug-addict, and he's hallucinating. Many dead characters return, while some who left came back in his fantasy. The good news is: he no longer fantasises having sex, instead he fantasises the people around him who help him reflect his actions - the alpha and omega of his meeting with the drug addict. Why he did so? Why he complied with him? Why he faced with such dreadful crime? Et cetera.

Then we see what happen when he treats and communicates with his patient. Bla bla bla (can't divulge too much).

In the end, Wilson and Foreman smell something fishy and do some investigation. They finally track down where House is, only to watch him trapped helplessly in a torched building. The firemen manage to douse the inferno, and found two bodies, which one has been confirmed to be House by dint of genetic tests, rendering the team sad.

A memorial is being held. Everyone except Cuddy stands up and gives an eulogy. Wilson catches everyone off guard when he, instead of delivering something saddening and memorable about House, suddenly says something out of anger and criticises House candidly and baffles the entire crowd.

Then he receives a message telling him to shut up. Of course, Wilson is flabbergasted. He then sees House sitting in front of his apartment (apparently House ain't afraid of having people identifying him), realises he fakes his death. *House is supposed to be thrown in gaol for a prank that goes wrong, he tries to escape it by asking for helps but no one bother to help him. So he reduces to the desperate method - faking his death.

Oh.....did I say Wilson is "sentenced" to die? He has 5 months left before he dies of cancer, and House is trying very hard to escape being thrown behind bars so that he can accompany his friends for the last 5 months. The producers are so......cruel to kill off such a great character, but yet kind enough to ensure he doesn't die alone.

At the end, we have a happy ending. Everyone is jubilant, and only two persons in the world know House is still alive.

It's sad to see Wilson has to die. An oncologist who battles a cancer and eventually surrenders to it. How sad.

Anyway, it's a good series finale! I hope I can watch more of the show, but I guess everything comes to an end.
