Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode title "Everybody Dies" refers back to Pilot (2004), whose alternate title is "Everybody Lies."
- GoofsCoroners do not just rely on dental records to identify bodies. The large height difference alone would have immediately indicated that there was a discrepancy between the body and House. In addition, House would have had a different history - bone breakage, years of joint wear from limping which would not have matched the body found.

Disappointing and out of the theme of the show
I'm a big fan of House. Of course I am, you get through eight seasons of hour long episodes and you have to be. And with that being said I just don't get what angle this episode is trying to play at. Everything we know about House, about the characters, it all just seems "Muddled" here. The episode itself is fine in the kind of overdramatic sense House has always been (Especially in the later seasons), but the part of the plot it weaves is just really disappointing. We all wanted to know how House as a character would end, and its as if hes been replaced by this different character. It has this weird "Live life in the moment" optimistic theme which is great for some random couch potato tuning in but seems like the show built up to something really impactive and then said "And everyone lived happily ever after".
It was just a shame I guess. House always felt like it wanted to be this intelligent show that doesn't beat around the bush on objects but then we get this (frankly) low brow cable-TV happy ending twist without any real depth to it.
All and all I feel like I've wasted time.
