Finally got around to watching the last six episodes of House Season 4. Interesting to say the least. Before you read any further, this post will contain spoilers, so suggest you read something else if you haven’t watched the end of Season 4.
OK, so the last half of the season was infinately better than the first half. Seriously, what a pointless exercise to have the recruitment drive the way House did. Yes I REALLY hated Amber (AKA cut-throat bitch), more of that later. The second half, much, much better. It was interesting to see Mira Sorvino and Jason Lewis in two episodes. Certainly spiced it up a little bit. Nice to see House is still his neurotic self.
The last two episodes… well. Firstly I was sitting there thinking “they can’t kill house… again” but they sort of did, didn’t they? As for throwing in the woman on the bus, who was also in Casino Royale (with blonde hair and Le Chifre’s girlfriend) and also Chuck (as a French assasin)… I knew she had to be someone important. I was kicking myself the minute she started asking “what’s my necklace made of?”. I missed all the signs.
So, why did I cry at the end? When I really didn’t like Amber at all. Perhaps because the writers had turned her around and she was reasonably nice as a person dating Wilson. Perhaps I thought Wilson deserved a break. It was very sad, she knew she was effectively dead when she woke up. I guess I don’t like seeing people dying… it really gets to me. Still it was nowhere near as bad as Denny Duquette dying in Grey’s Anatomy. I was blubbing like a big girl when that happened. I think that had a lot to do with the music they chose to play as well.
Intrigued to see what happens next season. Will Wilson ever forgive House? What will 13 / 31 do about her diagnosis? Will everyone go back to working for House? Will House change? His sub-concious obviously feels bereft for hurting his friend. Clearly he does need a friend and he’s going to feel awful for being responsible for Amber’s death.
